last monday at about 1.30pm
my cellphone rang
it was my mum
she told me that my uncle got warded into the hospital
initially i thought it was nothing big of a problem
as he has been going in and out of the hospital often
due to his asthma illness
it was different this time round
my mum informed me that he fainted while he was at work
his heart stopped for 30mins before it was revived
but he slipped into a comma
at that instant
my heart drop
a gusty feeling swept across
deep inside i was already grieving
i rushed down to TTSH
only to see my aunts, uncles and cousin there
their faces washed in tears
there in the ICU ward
i see my uncle laying motionless on the bed
tubes and needed running through his body
his life supported by the beeping machines
the doctor informed us that his chances of survival is slim
even if he recovers
probably his body will probably lose its ability to function well
as his brain is severely damaged due to the lack of oxygen
my heart sank further
when that news was revealed
i prayed to God
hoping for a miracle
yet somehow i knew it was his time to go
uncle was the head of our family
a great fighter he was
he has triumph over death one time
he fought hard this time
his will power kept him going
till it was 12.54am
soaked in tears
i bidded our parting words
thank you uncle for being such a great uncle
always there to render your help and assistance
being there for my family and i
when dark storm clouded our sky
i love you uncle
and you'll be dearly missed
thank you again
for the 18 years of wonderful memories
i love you

some people would say..
why give up the forest for a rose
if i were to answer that..
i would say..
the value of the rose is beyond that of the forest
something you cannot comprehend
what is that forest without this rose

was reading yesterday's the newpaper
came across an interesting article that caught my attention
http://newpaper.asia1.com.sg/printfriendly/0,4139,109430,00.html
the content of the article was about a fizzy fountain
fizzy fountain..?
what's that you may wonder
here it is
looks like a fountain doesn't it
here's the cache
the fountain you're seeing is actually bottles of exploding cokes
exploding cokes?
yes that's right
you read it
exploding COKE
so a dying question must be bugging your mind now
how do those Coke bottles explode into those geyser
shooting several metres into the air
you might not believe it but..
the chemical formula for this artistic phenomenon is achieve by adding..
Diet Coke + Mentos Sweets
there's a scientific research and study about this
got it from the website itself
so here you go to answer to quench that question of exploding cola
The Reason Behind It
These chemists are saying that the primary cause is physical, not chemical. Their explanation: nucleation sites. If you have a liquid that is supersaturated with gas (like soda, which is pumped full of carbon dioxide), a nucleation site is a place where the gas is able to form bubbles. Nucleation sites can be scratches on a surface or specks of dust – anywhere that you have a high surface area in a very small volume. That's where bubbles can form.Mentos seem to be loaded with nucleation sites. In other words, there are so many microscopic nooks and crannies on the surface of a Mento that an incredible number of bubbles will form when you drop it in a bottle of soda. Since the Mentos are also heavy enough to sink, they react with the soda all the way to the bottom. The escaping bubbles quickly turn into a raging foam, and the pressure builds dramatically. Before you know it, you've got a big geyser happening!
coutesy of
there's a video of this exploding cola fountain
and i reckon you to watch it
fun and interesting to watch

been like decades since i last inserted an entry
i wonder what to type here
aint havin the inspiration to write anything lately
so i guess that somehow explains this entry-less blog
anyway, just wanna put some stuffs across here
you know, some people would just come up to you
or post comments
telling you how boring your blog it and all that -ve stuffs etc.
personally, i dont really bother about such comments
not that im trying to be mean or anything
but if you analyse the basic aspects and function of a blog
it's used to pen down your personal thoughts or events that happened in your life
did ya catch anything
the key word there is the word Personal
Personal is defined:
Concerning a particular person and his or her private business, interests, or activities
coutesy of dictionary.com
well if you did not
basically what im trying to say here is
keep all those -ve comments to yourself
just let the blogger type whatever stuffs they want into their own blog
with the exception that they're not going against the law e.g defamation
so keep that 5cents comment to yourself
what may seem boring in your eyes
might just be a special memorial entry to the blogger
eat the humble pie and read
or just punch in the Alt+F4 key to end your misery of reading the entry
you can also save probably 5mins of your precious life in the process
before i end
this entry is not targeted at anyone
any similarity is purely coincidental
cya !

thanks for being such a great dad
you're the man

took pictures for the t-shirt design today
anyway.. here are some pics..
not everyone came though.. so only managed to take a few pics
weiren with his lay up
flying
yuan long vs weirenball stolen
that's me
shoot !
we were supposed to take pictures
but ended up playing around with the camera
taking short video clips instead
yuanlong got addicted with filming himself that he actually took 5 videos of him
that's excluding the COUNTLESS number of NG takes that he misses while going for the layup
plain old vain
he got so enthu about taking clips of himself
that he repeatedly retake clips after clips
what's more.. it's the same move after the same move after the same move
weiren will pass the ball to him
then he'll go for the windmill layup
i'll be standing behind to catch any loose passing ball
well.. so weiren and i decided to prank him
weiren passed the ball
and i sneaked up behind, steal the ball away from him and went for the layup
hilarous clip.. clip of the day
shall post it right after this entry
aint really sure how to post it..
but yea.. i'll try

haven't rest nor took a nap
reason being i don't have a place to sleep
bro got his friends over to watch the world cup
they end up staying over
occupying the entire room
i end up doing pretty much nothing in the living room
xcept watchin' tv which is pretty much boring too
anyway..
take this opportunity to wish ya a happy bdae' bro
well.. you're 2 years older than me
been a great elder brother despite the quarrels and arguements
but you're always there for me giving me advices to deal with issues in life
thanks alot yea
meetin' the buddies for a bball session in like 3+ hours time
gonna take pictures for the design of the t-shirt
in-charge of coming out the design and everything
thought of an idea
koping the adidas jose+10 concept
the join my team design
pirated adidas.. but 100% creativity
spent most of my time this week playing sports
went running, swimming, basketball and miraculosly.. soccer
yes.. soccer.. you didnt catch the wrong thing
met up with the spydra peeps to play on thursday
managed to score 2 goals..
must be a miracle
soccer is a great sport
but i'll still stick to bball
no offence..
but i delight in ballin'
though..
i prefer watchin' soccer than bball on tv
bless england

it's 0840hrs now
just crawled outta my bed
gettin ready to bball
only to find out that it's drizzling AGAIN
pushed back the bball session to 0930
so found myself some time to blog
alrites.. it's been awhile since i last dropped a post
due to the mid-semester tests and beating the project deadlines
it's all over now aye..
and the holidays are here !
cheers
gee.. i wonder what to blog about..
cause there's been so much things on my mind lately
some are just general issues..
while some are just so personal that i keep 'em inside me
hmm.. shall pen down my holidays plans here
it's a 2 weeks+ long holiday
intend to run & swim every late morning
time to regain back some fitness
also planning to try out some new sports
bouldering, rock climbing, kayaking (2 star)
also planned a town outing with the buddies
time to shop for stuffs
got quite a long wish list
new shirts, jeans, shoe, BASKETBALL and an acoustic guitar
well.. wanna take this holiday break to improve on one particular area
yea.. it's the musical aspects
gonna spend more time on my guitar..
to be able to play the guitar is one of my goals for 2006
but beyond that.. i desire to excel further
maybe one day i'll become a pro guitarist
hah who knows.. never give up till the last second
just gotta keep trying
yet to continue working on the second piece of song
every piece of song that i compose..
is inspired by things that happen around me..
friends.. family.. people..
and it has a story to it
this second piece of song
is inspired by a few friends who are experiencing the hardship of a breakup
a song designed to encourage them to walk out of this valley of darkness
and move on for the better
the story of this song is about this girl
who really loved this guy till the point..
he's her every thing
then one day..
he just walked out of her life..
feeling lost.. confused.. and broken..
she was left there reminiscing of the past memories
it's an emo song
if you're feeling sad.. just cry it out
it's better than to bottle up everything up inside
and feel more miserable
let it all out and feel better
it's still incompleted
but here you go..
Reminiscing
Let it go
Let it fade
Let it sway away
I don't know what else to say
You held my heart
And these feelings of mine
Then you walked away from my life
You left me here devastated
Thinking of our past
The times we spent together
Flashes through my mind
What happened to those promises
Those you made to me
Claiming that you'll be by my side
When darkness fills my sky
Let it go
Let it fade
Let it sway away
I don't know what else to say
that's all for now folks
it's yet to be refined
cya soon
bball time !
