Masook!

“Masook!”

You must shout this when you cross the finishing line to mark the victory of your team in the game we called ‘Masook’. A game we played almost every day in front of my house last time (kindergarten till … primary five of six I think). There must be at least 6players forming 2 teams. One defending another one attacking. We used brick to mark the lines on the tar road. Usually three orange lines for a six-player-game. Let me explain the game abit more.

Initiation:
Ohyabeyasom to decide who’s in which team. Both teams choose one captain then stand on each side of the starting line. Captains hit each other’s hand to start the game.

Propagation:

Defenders normally take positions as shown.

The objective of the attackers is to pass the middle then the last line then return to the starting line without being touched by the defenders. Vice versa for defenders. One touch = change side to attack/defend. The attackers win the game if any one of them masook-ed (ie returned to the starting line) then back to initiation phase for another round.

People with long hands (like me) have certain degree of advantage in defense. People who are short and skinny (I was v short) can slide through the defenders easily. LOL.

Special cases:

-Pinocchio.

If there is an extra player then he will be the Pinocchio who gets to play (attack) in every turn. Haha it’s like everyone will have to start from Pinocchio then upgrade to side-defenders and then normally the more experienced one will be the team captain haha.

-‘Bao’.

Bao as in bungkus or wrap. If the offensive team moves too slowly, they might be bao-ed by the defending team in an area then jialat liao lor. Both teams will just stare at each other for v long, nobody dares to move…*crow flew by*

Termination:

Dinner time and mum’s shout from the dining table. =P

Ps: got people call this game ‘dang3 dui4’ or something else la. Maybe u have played this before also. Share with me if there is any difference in your version. =P

I didn’t know

That was about a decade ago. There was no classes that day ‘cos we were supposed to take our kindergarten graduation photo. Took a bus with teachers and classmates then we reached the place which I dunno where is it exactly till now. Wearing robe and mortarboard plus holding a fake certificate roll, I was queuing waiting for my turn to take photo.

“Boy, smile. Don’t frown. Smile …”

“Ya. Wei Jian. Smile. Look at the camera and smile…”

*I’m smiling! I’m trying my best to smile! Isn’t everyone smile like THIS?*

“stop frowning boy. U wont look nice on the photo if u frown…”

*uncle. I’ve tried my best liao. can u hurry up and take the photo?*

*flash*

“ok next one!”

I didn’t know how to smile at that time. Erm. I shld say I didn’t know how to face the camera I think. I thot, smiling is to put ur eyes,nose and mouth closer,nearer, then you are smiling. Haha. No one told me. No one told me I must use my cheek muscle as well as the correct way to pull my eye muscle. I didn’t know.

A lot of things in life, we wont know until someone tells us. Esp those things that we thought we knew. But, sometimes it’s not that easy to tell somebody that thing that he/she shld know. Erm. Could be quite explosive I think, if wrong words were used. Anyhow, hope that u can tell me whatever things that I need to know…I dun want to frown at the camera again!

obviously.one of them is me la.

Enn. Orh. Arh. Cool man~ So lame~

LoL. Finally watched I Not Stupid 2 today. And it was FABULOUS!! Haha I muz admit jack neo is a damn good director and scriptwriter but CMI for his comedian pie. Anyway back to the movie. Hmm if u want me to rate the movie out of 5 stars. I’ll give 4.5stars without any hesitation. Haha. Serious. It’s damn nice.

The whole movie was damn smooth. As in. no ‘interval’. (Kongadefinition : interval – boring scenes that usually can be found in a movie ) You will just laugh/cry/feel touched/shocked/annoyed throughout the whole movie. Ya. promise. Haha this is an exceptionally good movie to watch. Especially after 2 super-ultra-mega-ultima lousy movies that I watched since the beginning of the year.

Haha first time I saw so many ppl in the cinema shedding their tears (I also got some tear drops la. Hehheh ) Some part really quite touching. Lol. E.g. Jerry saved $500 to buy his father’s one hour. Chengcai watching his father fall down from staircase. ‘abortion’. Some scenes are damn farnie too. E.g. the handphone spotcheck part. LoL. The eyebrow-drawing part. LoL. ‘Lame’ chop. LoL. @Police station part. …and those hokkien conversations somehow sounded quite hilarious. =P no offend. Hey I’m a hokkien too. Plus nice n natural acting. As usual. Oh the theme song by hongjunyang was not bad too.

But one thing that I wasn’t very ok with was the computer effect. The first one about nagging was still ok. (@#$& coming out from mother’s and grandma’s mouth then kena poured out to the rubbishbin. ) but then later the wushu world champion part was abit redundant. And some lines were repeated for too many times : “what language u want me to speak then u’ll understd? “ LoL.i counted 4times. This is where I deducted the 0.5 star =P

Overall. This is still a beri nice movie. It’s worth it to go to the cinema to watch haha. I’ll consider buying the DVD to keep haha. Good job jack neo but please stop ur comedian pie nonsense. ;)

Some meaningful quotes :-

- after cutting away the rotting part, a bad apple can still be eaten as a good apple.

- there’s always a key to open the door that is shunned before you.

Piano /pi’æn.əu/

Personally, I dun have much musical knowledge. Instruments that I can play without off-tune are recorder (nor.that one we learnt in primary school one.) and harmonica (sumthin tht I picked up 2years ago.left in a box for almost ½ a year). That’s all.

Talking about piano. Last time in primary school, I always wonder, how come my frens who were learning piano have to do extra homework about music theory and stuff. Isn’t school homework enuff to suffocate all of us? Why cant they just learn how to play. And fullstop. Piano is such a super instrument. It is one of those rare instruments that can stand on its own. Play its own piece of music. SATB, 10fingers to rule them all. LoL. If learning piano is just about playing the instrument, personally I think it would be much more enjoyable. =P I think only ar. If you don’t agree then sorry lor.

Always wanted to learn piano. Haha. You’ll looked so cool playing a piano la. With your eyes closed, fingers restlessly jump in between the black n white keys, your foot tapping the floor once in a while. Wow. Haha. Watch too much tv eh? But still. Playing piano is very enjoyable la. Not only to yourself but also to the ppl around you (provided that you dun anyhow play la).

Then haha like the usual me, I din really put my words into action when there’s a chance for me to do so. Haha. Hostel got music room ma. Got piano mah. I could have go to music room everyweek to at least learn sumthin one lor. Haha but in the end didn’t. only know how to play VOS. LoL.

Kongaznala Mission : Buy an affordable keyboard and learn on my own!

Sub-mission : 1^st song to be learnt – Tonghua by Guangliang

To be completed by : my death (wow.lame.haha)

Guided step number one : Find a job . earn my first C-key !

BONUS- piano joke

During the funeral of a world-famous flute player, his cousin’s 3^rd great-aunt’s neighbour’s husband’s grandson’s ex-ex-girlfriend was whispering to someone who was apparently related to the deceased in the similar way.

“hey. My ex-ex’s grandpa’s wife’s neighbour’s boyboy’s cousin was such a flute lover. He even requested to have his fav flute to be buried with him together-gether.”

“eh? I thot it was a piano joke? =P… Okie nehmind. I dunno who you are but thankfully he wasn’t a piano lover.”

The end. Ha ha.

Metaphor

Just as a tape recorder which we use it to extend out memory power, songs tned to magically store fond memories and play-back during the most unexpected time.

lol.quite a stupid metaphor huh?and i bet the grammar got prob also la. ha who cares.hope u can get wad i mean. hmm. it's like the memories are all stored to the tunes n lyrics. then the weird but familiar feel found its way back to your mind.

Magically u have gone back to the past for like 3-4minutes.

*snap*
the song finishes and then you will travel back to time when the next song plays...

Materiaising My Thoughts
U know…(I like to start like this and my frens always respond “I don’t know”) sometimes, u’ll have lotsa things on your mind. But somehow u are not as pro as other ppl who can ‘materialize’ their thoughts efficiently. (kongadefinition: materialize- put thoughts into words/sketches or even blog entries) It’s like…u have to recall those thoughts/memories once in a while for fear that u’ll forget them some day.
Esp those good/nice/not bad/sweet memories. Too bad no pictures or videos or whatever was taken. Nothing can help u to recall those things. U might just forget these stuff when u start getting busy coz of schoolwork n stuff. Memories are rotting. Preservation of these stuff in your mind is more than just adding sulphur dioxide.

Anyway. It’s bad for health if u keep soaking yourself in this kinda dreaming status. Walao. Be more realistic k?

Late Assignment part i
When i was looking for "Briefing on Pastoral Matters for Graduating Pre-U2 scholars" which includes how to apply work permit in singapore, then i saw something that i thot i would never ever gonna touch again.

'National Junior College Department of Economics
Chapter 1 Fundamentals of Economics"

o.O
*rewinding the tape coded LWJ1987*
i was in s09 classroom ta23. looking at the transparency on the screen. sth general about economics. we were asked to write something which i'm not too sure till now.i can only remember the comment she gave on my returned-assignment :
"You cant do well in econs just depending on MCQs." (mind you.we din even had any MCQ tutorial yet.) and sumthing which sounded like buck up ur essay skill if not then change sub la.it was the first 3mnth then.

eeeeeeeeeeeewwwwww...
sth heavy approx thousand tonne dropped from 1000-storey skyscraper

then i was in dillema.a very deep one summore.why in the hell i come here and study?as in.i couldnt really understand the lecturer n tutors except those printed words on lecture notes.i couldnt really communicate with those ppl ard me.and most importantly, why the hell they chose me to come here instead of other ppl with bttr qualifications n .. english..of course.
then i thot of changing my combi to double-double.thot of jus go back to msia n do sth more 'practical'.things got worse when i got the korea offer.it's like standing at a T...no.. a W-junction.

somehow i decided to cont with wad i was doing that time.things got better.actually alot better when we got Ms.Ng as our econs tutor.that was like 1-2mnth before promo le.then kim eng (MUST mention this everytime!) then more n more things happened (thankfully +> - ) and tatatata now i'm applying to uni liao.

Econs.sth that i love n hate very much.sth that i would put on the bottom of my 'priority' list when i was in J2.sth that i had so much fun thru the learning process n crappy+sumtimes not-so-crappy disscusion with frens. something that i think .. maybe .. i might touch again after all.

Blogging part ii

Eh. As u can see I enjoy blogging a lot. And as my friend u should have noticed that I’m kinda like a quiet person in ‘real-life’. Haha. Hmm. Actually blogging and talking are quite similar. U see. I am speaking out what I feel and how I think. It’s just that blogging is in a world of silence but then talking is more 3D. haha.

Things that I post on this blog are stuff that I have given thots or can be random ideas that flow thru my mind. Um. In other words, I feel kinda like “naked” in this blog. What u read n see in this blog are straight from my mind , fresh n juicy haha. I dun spend time playing with the words ( as my language is not that skilled ) and I just type whateva that comes to my mind. Talking is abit different from blogging. Um. Or shld I say “chatting” instead. Nehmind. When chatting with frens, i cant actually say whateva I wanna/should say n then it’s like my brain cant turn THAT fast to respond to all of the things that my frens say. So usually I’ll just listen. Then absorb. Then think about everything only after the fren has left. Haha. Super laggy. Which is kinda bad I think;. So sorry to those who needed advice or sth from me. =P

Hmm wonder since when I have become a quiet person. Or I was always like this long time ago? Eh. Dunno. U tell me lor. Erm. ‘Pioneering’ a totally new environment without all of ur old friends, the rest of the ppl aldy with their own cliques, somehow this is the way the quiet weijian found me. Think I’m abit noisy on this blog hor? Haha. I’m trying to change myself (or rather, find the old weijian back) . but in a very slow progress tho. Go away stupidquietstupididiot-weijian!

Transnational bus – on the way back to Larkin – 1915hrs – 11March06

KL-og

(1)Hehheh. I am currently sitting in suria KLCC typing out this post. Eh. Altho I have only stayed for like 2days in KL but there are like so much stuff that *ahem* INSPIRE me to blog n write stuff. Haha. Anyway.

KayEll is obviously different from JayBee but somehow similar to Pulau Singa. Hmm mayb I shldnt say that coz I still haven’t gone to lotsa places in KL yet. Anyway. Watched FD3 yest with the 3Ks (Kim.YK.KK) . Fishing shit! U can ask yk how many times I shouted Fish! in the cinema lor. Fish. damn disturbing la. I was like “how come chia said this is a nice movie..” feel so cheated. Haha. Nv had felt so terrible while watching movie lor. -_-

Eh. Then … food. First dinner here was at nando’s. which I sabo my stomach to the max. haha. Ordered xtra hot somemore jialihai go n add lotsa flaming hot peri sauce + garlic peri sauce + hot peri sauce + some ketchup lor. SHIOK! But it only last till the moment when the fish went down to my throat. After that. I got back the Ignis house spirit. :Burn::burn::burn: lol. Then went to kk’s palace. Then stomach feeling weird n it was shouting (I think I heard) till the nxt morning. Then nxt day I cont my stomach tor(ture)training prog n ate another bowl of tomyam ramen while it was still .. abit weird. Haha. Okay.

Oh n then that 2+hours in the middle of KLhighway was just unforgettable haha. Now I can understand how the chicken feels when it was being locked in an oven. Hehheh. Or mayb not. coz chicken dun wear white shirt with jeans.

LRT. Something similar to singapore’s MRT n something u dun get to see in JB. Eh. Kinda like the feel when the tic was sucked in then out from the slot. Haha. V dunno-how-to-say-but-i-like.

Erm. My trip here is kinda spontaneous and unplanned. So everything that is gonna happen next is a surprise for me. haha. Wonder what will I be doing in the next few hours. Wow. Sounds cool hor? I dun even know when will I be going back to JayBee. ;) ( 0951am 6mar Suria. Ramlee Mall)


(2) Wa. Time has been nice to me for moving so slow these few days haha. (eh I’m not saying that I’m bored here. Serious.) really glad that I’m here n thanks kim,yk,kk,Andrew and Sophia for temaning me and the time is slowing down at the correct time. ( erm dun bother if I sound weird haha )

Hmm. Eventful trip. There are like so much stuff rushing into my brain. Plus this is my first time in KL after like almost 10years haha. Wa. Kinda like saturated liao. that’s why I need time to really sit down. N think. N blog. Haha.

Because of you all lor.

Frankly speaking. I prefer this kinda small group (2-4or5) outing plus bonding session instead of a massive big group noisy outing . haha sorry no offence but I will be kinda lost in a big group haha. =P think we wont have time for mass outing anyway. Everyone is like bz n stuff . hmm..

U know. Sometimes it is like u have tonnes of thoughts in your mind. And it’s like totally in a mess la. It’s only when u got to talk to your fren then the thoughts will like flow out in the way that u like. Hhaha.

Eh. I still haven’t done my uni application n then hmm think I’m going back to JayBee soon. (1439hrs 7mar sohpia’s college. nilai)


(3) now I’m in vfeng ken’s house in Tmn Connaught after much hazards last night. Hehheh =P. it was like all the taxi drivers refused to send me from tun razak stn coz there’s a super heavy mega ultra jam to this place. The cheras famous weekly pasar malam was the sole cause of this. And also one of the reasons why I came here haha. Then later thanks to ken’s fren (Dorothy) i din end up sleeping at lrt station haha. =P after that went to the pasar malam n it was like o.O

So many stuff n it was damn long(1 km apparently). Haha mayb I’m suaku but the pasar malam was like damn crowded n got lotsa farnie stuff. Open from 6pm to 12am! Wad the. Ha then got food la. Clothes la. Wet market stuff la. Daily appliances la. N of coz. FAKE stuff. Haha. N yaya.

I tried the smelly beancurd (chou toufu) for the first time in my life! Haha. It was like. Erm. Ok. not that bad as I thot. Deep fried beancurd with a smelly-side-product-of-digestion kinda taste with chili sauce n acar. Priced at RM2.40 for 4pieces =) then got this bak kwa + meat floss roti with planta which I think it’s quite creative haha. N it tasted nice too. Only RM2 each. Then the Chinese pizza(dunno the exact name of it =P).taste abit like roti canai n it is cheap! RM0.60 per piece. Erm.somemore got this stall called Uncle Bob which sells fried chicken breast that taste “as smooth as drumstick”. RM4.90 per piece and the ladyboss will cut the meat into small pieces for you.
Ok one night is not enuff for me. think I’ll come back to kl for this pasar malam soon. Haha.

Hmm. Another thing about this pasar malam is there were quite a number of beggars sitting/lying on the middle of the road n it was v dangerous. Ppl can just step on them or injure them la. Ok. that’s all. (1639hrs.9mar Kenneth’s place. Taman connaught.)
