Bowling Tour



At 1.45pm, Ethan(well known as Shu Yuan Goh) came to my room to get us going meet his host family. They took us to the bowling centre. Sorry folks, I didn't know what and where the hell is the bowling centre. It was quite far away, that's all I can say.



We meet other host families there. Guess who is he? Tatatangtang, Brandon Khoo. I will show his picture here



Opps, this is his picture after he "throw" the bowling ball.

We have a fun game! I played badly, 58 points in the first game. However, I rosed in the second game, 107 points! Haha, I didn't bowl so such a long time. So lucky to still achieve such a high point.


Finally, I would like to thank Ethan(Shu Yuan Goh) for inviting us to this bowl.
Thank you. I have such fun. If it wasn't for him, I would be sitting in my room being a nerd and would not be meeting new people outside of my small small room.

Good night and let this blog rolls till I get bored.

First Home Game, Lost!


Well, Bryan and I managed to get a free ticket the Drake first home basketball game. However, Carter managed to sneack in the game. Thanks to the magnificint, Bryan! We were so excited when we were in the stadium. So is everyone.

Drake won the title last season which made this season very anticipated for everyone in the community. The stadium was so pack with people. Did I said old people? Gosh, I never saw this many senior citizens in my entire life. We were surrounded by them. (CODE RED!)

Later on, the game started with a lead of 10 points! Bravo, but the leaders weren't our team, too bad, folks! It went on to only 4 points of difference, then again, to 10 points. To cut the story short and save my time, finally Drake officially lost their fist home game of the season. Don't lose your spirit, keep it going!


The good thing about this game is the half time show. WOw, it was truly amazing. It somehow really entertained me. Girls danced while boys played the instrument. Best of all, there was 2 kids on the band. I was so impressed.
Back to my room later on and ate McDonald's Club with Bryan and Carter! It was so good! However, it couldn't satisfy us. Haha, maggi mee is the root the our hunger! I am so full now and too bad that I am so tired. I really have to get some dreams.
Ja Ne(goodbye in Japanese) and Good Night too.

Make it happen, Drake!

Finally

Well, well, well, finally I moved my lazy dump fat ass to my seat, opened maxthon(a kind a internet explorer which I think is better than Firefox) and login into my id and started to type.

First of all, I would like to clarify, I don't have the habit to write a blog(tradisionally a diary where people would write anything that happened in a day in a book with dates on every pages) since nowadays people are so use to technology. In the old days, my mom forced me to write a diary even since I was a kid. She wanted me to write in Chinese a day, English the second day and Malay the third day, and the circle keeped it going.

Actually, I knew what was in my mom's mind. She didn't want my language to be as hers. She wants us(her children) to write and to speak better (ie to improve our language proficiency). Being a lazy kid of me, however, forcing me didn't seems to work out. I wrote it for like a week, then the pages started to be as white as snow... and the best part was she didn't force me to write the diary again. Sorry to make you dissapointed, mom.

However, my mom won the battle of "diary" after so many years of battling. Instead of writing a diary which make me so "classic", I choose the write a blog which will make me "modern". Writting need pactice(someone said that), at least read the newspaper everyday which is not in the list of my brain. Since I am majoring in Actuarial Science and Information System(IT, they called it IS in the US), do I need to write a lot? Well, the answer is just next. I didn't write a full length essay since my ENL102 class in January early this week. Thinking of my English writting skills will soon be forgotten, writting blog will be my best solution.
To be honest, I really, really, really hope that my blog would have new post everyday. Well, I have taken the first step, might as well keep it rolling on.
