church camp 09
hello! just came back from church camp on monday.
yesterday was quite a wasted day cos i slept almost the whole day and didn't do any studying haha.. but today i shall try to get some physics done after i do this post.
anws, church camp was ok. it's my last church camp in PLH! haha. there's some good points and some bad points la. some bad points is that maybe TCH won't be as fun as PLH. and some good points is that don't need to follow some things in the PLH programme already.
everyday is almost the same programme. wake up and morning devotion and then go breakfast and worship and the talk and then buzz group and then lunch and then afternoon activity and then dinner and worship and talk again and then finish.
after morn devotion i usually went back to my room to skip breakfast and get some extra sleep. buzz groups were led by aunty uli and they were quite good. learnt some stuff.
the first day afternoon activity was "family bonding time". my family went to play bowling. my scores were quite good. 147 and 131.
2nd day was PLH games. my "I-Zack's team" won 1st prize. it's the second year running that my team has won the big prize at the PLH camp games. (last year we won best skit). so, yay, not bad. at least my last 2 years in PLH can win the coveted championship. LOL! then after the games the boys started dunking each other into the pool haha! i pushed weng shien in and his spectacles lens dropped out. but good thing the pool cleaner found it and returned it so i didn't need to go look for it or pay for it haha.
3rd day was freetime so we went to play football. the first and second game was played with our own PLH peeps. i scored 4 and 3 goals in those 2 games. then the 3rd game was with the other church that was there. i think we lost by a few goals. like 15-12 or smth like that. can't rmb. i scored 8 in that game. but we were all tired from the first 2 games and they were like 20+ yrs old. so i think it's not too bad. then after the game i went into the pool to cool off with paul and eddie.
at night we had worshipXplosion!! haha. i think all the worship leaders led 2 songs each. i led "one day" and "running after you". the rest of the time you have to stand there and be backup singer. but quite boring to do that and some more i was the only guy on stage. so i decided to play guitar for "at the cross" and "second chance" and drums for "free". oh yeah, the crazy part was when i did the stage dive after "running after you" haha! cos paul and the guys told me before worshipX started that if i did a stage dive they would catch me. so i was like "sure or not??" and they said yes yes we'll catch you. so ok lor. when the song ended just jump. haha! so fun. we were laughing like mad. then the last part i decided it's more fun to join the guys on the floor than with the girls on stage so i went into the crowd and we organised a stage invasion for "always & forever" haha!! we ran up onto the stage during the chorus and jumped about. super funny. yup.
then after worship i was super tired so i went back to the room and slept.
ok i think that's about it for what i can remember at church camp now. i'm lazy to type about anything else.
next year church camp in TCH already haha.

Camp V-nest
hello!!
i'm here to talk about my class CIP! it was from 2-4 june (9am-5pm everyday) and we were facilitating a camp for kids. it was called Camp V-nest. lol. ya i know, silly name.
anyways, it was held in jiemin pri school. oh man it was quite fun haha! i really enjoyed it cos i liked the kids in my group:) i was group leader and joshua and emily were helping me (josh was the assistant leader). i think we took care of the kids pretty well and got them involved in all the games and activities. they were learning about 3 values: peace, resilience and gratefulness. haha. oh, the kids were all pri4-5.
i think my group was maybe the most well-behaved group and actually me and joshua enjoyed it alot more than the others haha. i made it a point for my group to sit together at lunch and break times. and everytime we had activity i made sure that we all sat in a circle and everyone had a chance to talk and participate. thankfully, i don't think our kids were that troublesome.
there were 6 kids in my group. 3 boys 3 girls. the boys were hafiz, marteen, and yi da. and the girls were zoey, joanne, and yining. hafiz and marteen are super funny. they kept talking to me and josh about liverpool and arsenal. and they kept doing their rock on! hand signs. lol. yi da is super cute and he's got a twin brother yi hong who looks like me and the whole class were going on about it. he really does kinda look like me cos he wears the thick specs i used to wear haha. joanne is super cute but she's shy. and she's kinda tiny. haha! super cute. josh and i kinda liked her alot cos she made the gratefulness medal for us:) zoey is quite scary cos she's alittle over-dominant. haha! like she tries to take charge when we're playing games but that's cos she's a bit more mature for her age. i found out it's cos she's the eldest of 5 kids at home. wow. yining is just like a normal girl. and she likes to tell some jokes which are kinda like.. huh?? lol.
well i don't think i'm supposed to say too much cos we're actually not supposed to write about our camp and put up any photos on facebook haha!
anyways, i learned lots from facilitating the camp and i realised that i like to work with children and i hope i get the chance to do it again. it was also a good time for me to bond with my classmates and get to know them better. especially joshua. cos he was my assistant leader and we were working very closely together and talking about our kids alot.
actually i'm doing this post cos we're supposed to write our reflections and pass them up to kenneth so i'm letting my thoughts flow with this post and then later cut and paste and make it more formal, then ok liao. haha! smart right? lol.
man, i really miss the kids in my group:(.. serious! on thursday night i couldn't sleep properly sia. kept thinking about the fun 3 days i had. i hope i can see them again. it's quite hard cos bruce, our camp instructor, didn't allow us to exchange contact info. and they live in yishun, so it's quite hard to see them around. if only it was some school around serangoon. haha. i feel like their big brother man. ok i think this is enough content to do my reflection essay. haha!
rock on!!

The Chumpions
whoa hoho. long time since i last posted on my blog!! haha..
hmm... the only interesting stuffs that happened in school recently was the inter-class sepak takraw competition yesterday!
our class decided we will submit a team. me, gary, syam and shu feng. and our team name was... "The Legendary Undefeated Noorzailan's Tricycle Kick Chumpions to the Muximum x 10(^8) Team".
lol. ya i know, super long name. haha! the last part is *times 10 to the power of 8* but i dunno how to type out the small power at the top. haha!
in the end, they just wrote our team name on the scoreboard as "2T24". then we decided to shorten our name to just "The Chumpions". lol. there were 16 teams in total. 4 groups of 4. the top 2 of each group qualify for the quater-finals.
anyways, we won all our 3 group games easily to make it to the quarter-finals as top of our group.
our team formation was me in the centre, gary on the right, and syam on the left. but syam had to leave early to go watch X-men wolverine, so shu feng came in to substitute him. i was the main server of the team and most of our points came from my serves. but i made some mistakes too so we lost some points there as well haha. the rattan ball is quite hard, so i've got some bruises on my legs and my head is hurting really bad from heading it too much and too hard. lol.
we won the quarter-final easily in straight sets too. but we lost in the semi-finals.
there was 3rd and 4th placing match too and we lost that one as well. so in the end we finished 4th.
we were all super disappointed cos we had expected to win the whole thing. our class is tipped as favourites to win alot of sports competitions this year cos we have quite a few people that can play some sports. but this year so far we've only got 3rd for handball and now 4th for sepak takraw.. but nvm..
we also found out from the draw yesterday that at the CJC Olympic games in july that our class is participating in football, netball, and basketball. i can quite confidently say that we are one of the favourites to win football. and our netball team is quite a good one too. so we'll be gunning for those 2 trophies. for our bball, sad to say, i think we'll get trashed hahaa!! (sorry jeanne) (if she ever finds this blog. lol)
anyway, gary and i were super angry with the referee that took our semifinal and 3rd&4th placing matches cos he was super lousy. like seriously. but he was a student lah, so can't really be helped..
actually yesterday was really really angry about it. i have this bad tendency to lose in semi-finals. and yesterday was another semi-final hoodoo for me. but i'm much better now lah.
but oh well, whether we won or lost, nobody can deny that we are still The Chumpions! hahaha..
by the way, i think i've invented a new football kick called the tricycle kick!! it's something like the bicycle kick, only that you swing your kicking foot first as well. meaning that you do a triple swing with your legs. hahaha!! it's really hard!!! i realised that it's easier to do it in the straight overhead kick style, rather than the sideways scissors kick style. but it's just for show lah. haha. new skill invented!! whoohoo!!!
ok i'm talking lots of football stuff now haha..
anyway, man utd can win the title tonight as long as they gain a point against the pathetic arsenal. it looks all over, but must not give up hope!! either way, it must be said that liverpool have got much closer this year. and if looking at the "what-ifs", we might have won. what if gerrard and torres had been fit for more games? what if we had won just 3 of the games we drew at anfield? what if man utd had not won in the last minutes by those macheda guy's goals? etc etc..
but yes, i hate to say it once again, but.. next season will be our season! haha!

post-season analysis
our a-div season is over..
lost to ACJC 1-0 yesterday. i think NJ is an unlucky ground for us. we've played 4 matches there in the last two years and lost every game by one goal (last year 1-2 to ACS(i), this year 0-1 to NJ, 1-2 to AJ and 0-1 to AC). the two matches we won this year were played at SR (3-2 against dunman) and VJ (2-0 against NY).
so our final standings for this year is played 5, won 2, draw 0, lost 3, scored 6, conceded 6, pts 6. LLWWL. scorers: justin 3, me 2, caleb 1.
i think in our group we were like 5th out of 6 teams. unlucky if you ask me. i'd say we bounced back pretty well from the first 2 defeats. all our losses were down to defensive errors. some stuff that just can't be helped. all these little details make the difference in a tight competition like the a-divs. the teams that we were expected to beat this year like NJ and AJ have improved alot as well.
we really had high hopes for the season. expected to at least make it to the next stage. but well, the first two games really cost us, and by the time we bounced back, it was too late. had we not made the mistakes against NJ and AJ i think it would have been a much different story. but as it is, we're out and have to hope the next batch does better next year.
one thing i feel about our guys is that we're too "nice". we don't go into tackles hard enough. we have to put our head and body in more. if you go 100% into a tackle you're less likely to get injured. i'm probably the meanest tackler in the team (rahim and floyd tackle harder, but i tackle MEANER. there's a slight difference lol). and for some reason i just love going in really hard into a challenge.
although one good point about us is that we don't play-act or whine to the referee (in fact i quarrel with the refs haha). well, i don't mean to stereo-type, but there's a reason why we don't like schools like NJ and AC. even in a soccer match, you can see their people dropping onto the floor the whole game and hear them crying and complaining to the ref. AJ and NY didn't do that. for dunman, they just kept sucking-up to the ref ("good call ref!" i've never heard that phrase more times in any soccer game i've ever played). so yeah, CJC are really the a-div nice guys (except for their vice-captain lol).
for me, it was only a satisfactory a-div. the bad point is that i didn't get to attack as much as i, or even coach, would have liked. the teams we played just didn't allow it. the only match where i produced match-winning goals was the dunman high game. i had 4 shots the entire competition and i scored with 2 of them. the two misses were a header just over the bar and a long-range effort which the keeper saved. the good point is that i probably held my position really well. none of the teams bossed our midfield. and i'd like to think that i was more than a match for any centre-midfielder i was up against. against AJ and dunman it was easy meat. in the NY game i outplayed their big guy and he had to be subbed off. and against NJ and AC i was up against their combined schools team players and i matched them pretty well, if not better. so yeah, i'd like to say that i'm one of the better centre-midfielders in this year's a-divs. (i can't make the bolder statement that i always love to, cos we didn't play all the teams. haha..)
so for me, it was good tackling, passing and positioning. not enough attacking. and although my air challenges are not that great, i've improved alot in a short space of time as compared to last year when i didn't win a single header.
well, i'd say the experience of playing competitive soccer again was a good and enjoyable one. despite the early disappointments, the way we came back was encouraging. and so, i've played my last game in a CJ shirt.. haha. proud to have been vice-captain of a CJ team and wore the no.7 shirt for 2009. and not to mention the no.39 in 08 too! haha.
ok, time to throw away my soccer socks and hang up my boots..

easter and A-divs
whoops.. haven't posted anything for a long time!
it's good friday weekend! and for PLH, that means easter retreat!:)
this easter retreat was actually more fun than i expected. the youth comm really organised it well. i think the new people we've put in have contributed with quite a few new and fresh ideas.
on friday everyone came at about 3plus and had the usual registration and groupings. paul and shona were in charge of the ice breakers and they had some nice interesting games:)
my group was rebecca chan, michelle goh, colin, darren ho, coco, daniel and justin. grace foong and becky koh left early.
after ice breakers we had 1 hour for wash up time. and paul and i decided to use this time to have our wrestling match!! the undefeated giant vs the plh undisputed champion! lol. it was arguably the greatest match in our plh wrestling federation history lol. i think it comes quite close to the first match we ever had at bbc 07 (the 6-man elimination match involving me, jeremy, tim leong, shaun, david and jon, which i won and became champion). for the fact that paul and i went on for an amazing 40min (5.30-6.10pm). i got paul in some arm bar on the ground early on. twisted his arm and stuff and he was like shouting in pain on the ground. heh. i'm really shocked that he didn't tap out. that was definitely the most gutsy thing i've ever seen. but it helped me cos he played the rest of the match with a weakened left arm, preventing him from having the strength to lift me at times. i don't remember much details, but i somehow got paul on the ground and managed to pin him in a 3-count. wow. haha. just wow.
now my back, neck, and right arm are aching alot from the match. lol. paul is like the hardest guy ever to get onto the ground. my spinebusters almost didn't work!! good thing i had the submission move haha!
then it was dinner. and at night we had a passover meal thing. we kinda did it before during the easter retreat that i was sec1. and then we had a reflection time for 1hour-plus in the sanctuary which quite a few of us found helpful.
oh yes, then at night we were about to have our first-ever PLH wrestling tag-team championship match. i was partnering paul! i'm pretty sure we were favourites to become the first-ever tag-team champs of PLH, but just before the match could start my dad came in and stopped everything... in the end our room was super guai. lights off by 1145 and most of them slept by 12plus. the twins, paul and i were awake til 1plus then we got hungry. we decided to come down to the kitchen and we found the leftovers from supper haha! we finished everything!! four hungry boys at night. what do you expect? lol. yes and after some heart to heart talks we were asleep by 2plus with full stomachs. i love that feeling:) eat and sleep. lol.
the next day i woke up in the morning at 530 cos i needed to pee. then i decided might as well take a nice morning bath. shiok! haha. breakfast was at 7am. then we had devotion and worship too. after that the groups split up to plan for their presentations. the skits were not bad, considering the amount of time they had to prepare. my group got second for it:)
then it was lunch time. paul and i ate at a fast pace so we could go up to the youth comm room early to take a wrestling video. lol. a fake one. our acting is quite lousy but funny too! haha! it was supposed to be a hardcore match and we used lotsa weapons in the room. even the tables! haha!!
then it was the group games which were pretty fun. and musical chairs too! it's fun at the part where the people wear blindfolds and you can mess with them by taking away the chairs haha!
and we ended the camp by 5pm.
today went to church for easter sunday service. there was baptism and confirmation. congrats to michelle, amanda, shaun, and serene! these are those from plh who went.
then went up to mph to jam for awhile.
ok i'm running outta time. needa speed up my posting pace haha.
anyways, we've been having a-division matches the past 2 weeks.
lost to NJC 0-1
lost to AJC 1-2
beat dunman high 3-2
beat NYJC 2-0
our last group game is against ACJC on friday. despite losing our first 2 matches, we've still got a good chance of qualifying for the quarter-finals after winning in our last 2. we were quite unlucky in the NJ match. lost to a headed goal from a freekick. i'd like to think we were equal with them the whole game.
for the AJ match, it was defensive mistakes that cost us.
i scored 2 goals in the dunman match. i think we played kinda badly and were fortunate to come away with the 3pts.
but in the NY game we really played well. fully deserved the 2-0 win.
i think if we win on friday we're through. gotta take a look at the table when i get back to school this week.
ok that's all for now. i think i'll post again after a-divs end.

it's good friday weekend! and for PLH, that means easter retreat!:)
this easter retreat was actually more fun than i expected. the youth comm really organised it well. i think the new people we've put in have contributed with quite a few new and fresh ideas.
