Stay happy no matter what happens :)

Ever wondered what it would be like if you still love with someone from your past?  

     So hi guys, I'm back again. It's been quite some time but I guess the holidays are coming anyways so why not. The last entry was back in March and since school started (ITE), I have never been able to look back and really enjoy the things I love doing the most : photography, kendama and also just living my life. 

     Whatever I'm typing here and now, does not necessarily mean anything. It is purely for entertainment purposes, and if anyone does find it similar to your life, trust me, it's always about mine. What I'm trying to say is, the same line in tv shows, any resemblance to anyone or any life story is purely fictional. (only writing about my life and forever will be) 

     You might not know this, but basically everyone has that one person that they will never truly forget about. That one memorable person who did a lot for you, a lot with you and they meant the whole world to you at one point of time. 

     They will always happen to be in your life, no matter what circumstances, they will always somehow be fated to be there, just right there, to exist. Everyone deserves to live their own life, of course that's for sure. But this one person will always be "repeating" again and again no matter what. You're never sure what to do about it, because you have your own life to live. And when they say you're just "friends" you get even more confused. 

     Probably by the time you're reading this you'd be sure to think of that one person, and how he/she has affected you and your life in so many ways, more than once. How he/she meant so much to you, the thought of leaving them hurts you so bad you can tear up about it. And also how that if that day comes that you leave them, will things ever be the same again?

     There's a saying that goes, "We accept the love we think we deserve." A good friend of mine, Diana kept telling me about this line. I haven't watched the movie till now, and of course I plan to. It's from a movie titled "The perks of being a wallflower". The pure definition of wallflower from Google.com is that it's "a shy or excluded person at a dance or a party, usually a girl without a partner." 

     That goes to show that if you are a quiet or what I'd like to call a "silent ninja", don't worry about it! There's bound to be other silent ninjas out there for you to make friends and also talk to. Single and ready to mingle? No. Single and ready to make new friends. 

     I admit, at times when I come or enter a new environment, definitely I'll be a silent ninja. But of course, as you make friends and also continue to proceed on, you will always be surrounded with lots of friends, no matter how "old" or "young" they've been in your life.

     Just accept them for who they are, as a person, because everyone deserves to co-exist in this life. Nobody deserves a bad life just because of the past or what they have done. I repeat, everyone deserves to live. No one is worth dying for, no matter how bad it seems. 

    "To whom it may concern, you will always be my breastpren"

     Simply saying, we will all die someday. And when we die, we don't know when. So make friends, stay happy, be positive, and never sad. Because if you're sad, others who care for you will also wonder why the sudden change, and why you are not yourself.

     And with that, I come to the end of a new entry on the 11th of December, at 2.30am when I'm supposed to be asleep, hahaha. Oh yeah just wanted to share a photo with you guys and how I volunteered for the APG here in sunny Singapore. (APG - Asean Para Games) Will talk about this in another entry. 

Just a bunch of good people coming together to volunteer for the Asean Para Games. Different groups, but united as one we share our laughter and joy and be happy :)

     Thank you for reading this and hope you enjoyed this piece of writing, more to come in the future! Stay tuned for more and as always, stay awesome guys.

Laced up series Evopower C4. No.2 (Inspired by Soccerbible)

Here's the second blog entry for the laced up series, inspired by the one and only Soccerbible.

In this entry, I will showcase more shots of the C4, and most definitely how they look on feet. I would give Puma all five points out of five for their thought process and designing of the tricks series. Am definitely a fan of it, with no doubt.

Really happy to say that these boots were featured on Soccerbible's Instagram for the second time. Thanks guys! All thanks goes to Ernest (@412.am) and glad he helped me with this. Here goes :

Another picture of me lacing up in the Evopowers. Just shows how flexible the the sole is, as Puma had advertised. It doesn't really help with much, but it's just that it is really flexible to the point that it can actually bend outward! Just another tech spec available on this mighty soccer boot. 

With this boot, what you will experience is something unlike any other boot. You just have to try it for yourself to know the feeling actually. It's quite comfortable, but with any other boot, it only depends on the person itself and how he/she likes it. 

Definitely a must have for people wanting to experience something different. 

To me, I prefer to lace up not too tight, as with all other soccer boots I have used. Paired with the Trusox, cuts and turns in the field are more effective as my foot will not slide here and there in the boot, which is the case when using normal socks during wet weather. 

I feel like the socks are useful even in the wet weather as I do not feel any foot slippage in the boot. Definitely recommend this socks for players out there who face the same problem! 

In the picture are the calve length Trusox, but there is also the full length colored socks. 

Last for this entry, just a shot of the boots in the standing position. Like I have said before and will always say, the blue compliments the white, and vice-versa. Most definitely a colorway which is striking in the pitch, on or off. 

Thanks Weston Corporation for carrying these beauties! And thanks Puma for these wonderful and well-thought of colorway too. Worth the splurge. 

To those wondering, it cost me $359 at Weston Corporation. A price to pay for such a beautiful pair, which definitely is worth it. Now just need to improve my playing style and stamina to add more compliments to this, hahaha. 

So that's about it for entry number two! Hope you enjoyed and look forward to the next one, which is probably the last one for this series. Stay awesome and have a nice day!!

Laced up series Evopower C4. No.1 (Inspired by Soccerbible)

So hey guys I'm back! And today I have for you are photos of my limited edition pair, the Puma Evopower C4 or Cesc Fabregas. At first I didn't want to wear it as it would fetch a high price from collectors or even be the start of nice and good trades, and boy have I never been more right.

Deals came from Carousell (an application), trades and also people wanting to purchase it. Anyways this is not why I'm here. Today is to share with you a collaboration between one of the talented people I know, Ernest (@412.am on Instagram). Can't tell you how amazing this guy is. As awkward as he looks, he has a great personality. Once again, thanks for your help man!

So here, I have the shots from that day's session at NTU. Just a normal kickabout like any other, but I must say that I achieved so many great shots on this day. So here goes.

Lacing up in the soccer boots, just trying to make it look as attractive as it was when I first bought it. The white part is a little dirty now due to the artificial pitches I often play on but that's okay, it still is good looking nonetheless.

Comfort in this pair is very excellent, stud pressure is only noticeable at the start and little to no break in time is needed. I would say that since I have a flat foot, I'm considered wide-footed and this boot can cater to my wide-foot needs very well. The pressure is distributed evenly with the conical and bladed studs which occupy the sole of the boots.

Foam pads which are placed on the instep of the boot (most of them) do not necessarily help with the higher and also more powerful shot that Puma advertise in their videos or adverts. It only can come down to this : practice makes perfect. So if you do have a powerful shot, it just really means that you yourself have worked on the technique to get that kind of shot. That's about it.

The visual appeal of this boot is very high considering what Puma have done, as they said that they wanted to continue their "tricks" collection and this in fact was what Cesc Fabregas, of Chelsea had wanted from them. It goes well with the Chelsea kit, which is blue and white in color too.

On the instep, the design of "C4" can be seen which clearly means Cesc 4 which is Fabregas's first name and his kit number he has sticked with ever since he was in Arsenal. He also donned it in Barcelona, and now in Chelsea as well.

I'm just so happy to get my hands on such a beautiful pair and I totally appreciate every second of work put in to the design and conclusion of this boot. Not forgetting the Balotelli, Reus and also Aguero signature pairs as well. I just have wanted to try the Evopower ever since it came out and here I am donning a pair of my own.

So there's my review of the Evopower C4 and how it is so comfortable and also does its job very well. I hope you enjoyed this as much I have enjoyed typing it out and letting you guys read what I think best describes this sick pair. Will include more pictures in my next post.

Hope you guys enjoyed reading, stay awesome and have a nice day!

Freeze time. (Part one)

Hi guys, it's been so long that I wrote a blog entry, and I'm feeling guilty already so here I am again. So today I'll be talking about a topic which many people love and kind of dwell into because you know, who doesn't love shoes in mid air or jumpshots right? So yes that's kind of what I'm going to show you today.

So here we have shoes in freezed motion (shot at high shutter speeds eg. 4000). Hope you enjoy this because these kind of shots are becoming more popular.

First up we have Rifdih and his shoe - Adidas Superstar. A very simple shoe, no fussy or intricate designs, just plain black on white colors. Black and white, that is another popular thing in the world currently too. 

So here's Fathoni with his - Nike Flyknit Racer. This is the shoe in the Oreo/Volt colorway and it is looking dammmmmn fine. This was shot at a rooftop in town, one of the very very mainstream ones. 

Here he is again with the same pair, but this was taken on the day that he collected it from the seller, and he really looked so genuinely happy with it. Oh, I was the one who poisoned him to start buying flyknits guys, hahaha!

So here's Glendon with his - New Balance x Ronnie Fieg 530 "Central Park". Very hard to come by especially in sunny Singapore, and he got his hands on a pair, so jealous hahaha. One of the sickest pairs I've seen personally, and it kind of looks like Iron Man sneakers too, don't you think so? 

So here's my good friend Aniq with a mixture of two sneakers - both Flyknit Racers. The left is the "Lucid Green" and the right is "Oreo/Volt". This was an experimental shot and it kind of turned out nice so I decided to keep it. And thanks for lending me your soccer boots, nitrocharge and predator. 

So here's Aniq again with his - Adipure 11 pro. Launch colorway. This is the latest version of the 11 pro silo, and I have to say these bad boys have to be the most comfortable out of the rest of the adipures! It looks sick with the color, and the design is also spot on. The leather is amazing. 

And finally myself with my own pair of - Nike Flyknit Trainers. Multicolor colorway. One of the most hyped and revered colors in the sneaker game, and I didn't regret buying them. I have people breaking necks in school just to see this, I'm sorry guys, not on purpose. Nike did a very good job on these. Just a suggestion Nike, why don't you guys multicolor the magista? Pretty sure that will sell out pretty fast. (Just an opinion hehe) 

Have more shots like this but can't seem to remember where I put them. (Yes I ain't good at organizing stuff) But I mean it's kinda pleasing to the eyes because our eyes aren't cameras that can slow down motion and sort of freeze time so I hope you liked the shots as much as I loved taking and creating them. So that's volume one of "Freeze Time". Will continue tomorrow when I'm not feeling tired hopefully. Hope you enjoyed what you see! Stay awesome guys.

SAApparel.

Hey there guys! Well it took some time for me to update my blog and here I am again! I always update my blog every week but this time it took me a while because I literally had nothing to write about. (all lies)

So anyways, whenever I have a new blog entry, it would be something new. And yes, this is something really new. SAApparels. The owners of this clothing/apparel line is both my good buddies, Sathiyah and Asyraf. Really glad to have made friends with them in secondary school because we all kinda grew up learning soccer together. But without further ado, let's talk about what happened.

The shoot started off at Haji Lane, near the Sultan Mosque area, in a you know, lane. A closed kind of small road which was cramp and we just did some product shots and also some lookbook-ish shots. Altogether we had 5 models, three girls and two guys. Salman, Malek, Haryani, Elly and Hazyra.


Here's a picture of them : 

Elly, Malik, Haryani, Salman, Hazyra.
Taken at along the waters of Singapore River, very close to the Esplanade. 

So here they are individually : 

Elly. One of the most cheerful people I know personally. Loves to have fun and also enjoys time spent with her friends. One of the cutest girls I know too hahaha! 

Hazyra. She says she doesn't model but does otherwise. Her posing and skills are that of a freelance model who you can call any time to pose for you! She's a great girl, very friendly as well! See you soon! 

Salman, has one of the most fiercest looks in the bunch. If he does this kind of face, sometimes you don't even know whether he's angry or just playing around. Another one who grew up playing soccer with me in secondary school too. 

Malik, someone who I don't know personally but all I can say is that he looks like Salman's long lost twin. So much resemblance! 

Lastly, Haryani. One of the girls who was very close to me during secondary one and two. She used to look very nerdy with those round specs but look at her now, all grown up and so beautiful. One of the prettiest girls I personally know and admire. 

So there you have it, the 5 models and the ones who were involved in the product shoot for SAApparels newest and latest T-shirt, and also cap. (not pictured here) Sorry if I didn't type very long and storytelling, it's because I'm busy admiring my Sweets Homegrown kendama which I just bought for $114.90. Super stoked!

As always, stay awesome guys and have a nice day!

Kendamas on a whole new level.

So here I am again, and I'll be reposting this entry because Malcolm has some issues with what was going on in the previous (deleted) entry. Sorry dude, my bad. Anyways! I'm back again with the same shit, all about damas.

I love kendamas to be honest. I have 11 at home and I feel like the number will continue to increase over time. I currently own five KROM kendamas, six KendamaUSA kendamas, and my very first kendama ever, Sweets Natty. 

It's quite a journey for me playing kendama, I have progressed so much I didn't bother to look back at what I would have achieved without kendama. This "toy" is actually a remarkable thing in my life. I only have the "ASAP" gang to thank for introducing me to this amazing thing.

Anyways without further ado, let me introduce to you two people (no pictures of them) , Malcolm and KC. Both Singaporeans, but KC stays and studies in the USA. (lucky kid hahaha)

As you will see down below, the kendamas are hand painted by them and they are seriously amazing. I couldn't stop staring when Malcolm brought the first prototype to Spinworkx and he now has a second one. 

Here you go, enjoy! 

Malcolm's. I dubbed it the "Leopard Galaxy" Ozora kendama. Imagine if this were to be selling at JKA's website, it would be super dope!! So nice, so amazing, can't wait to see more work from this talented guy who shreds yoyo. 

KC's take on his own personalized kendama. Having experience from painting model kits of Gundam, you can clearly see why it is damn nice. The camo is a pleasant sight to the eyes, really. Can't take my eyes off it. Would be the first guy to buy this if he ever sells it. 

Balance! Actually no, just cup on cup action. Four cups, two tamas. Coming soon to theatres near you. 

Last but not least a close up look on both tamas by both! Malcolm's galaxy tama is definitely something to always look at, without a doubt. KC has opted for the more natural look to blend in with the camo pattern on his ken. Camouflage is actually best suited to the nature, as we may all know. 

Okay so that's it! My feature of Malcolm's and KC's personalized kendamas which are really awesome! If they ever open a business I would definitely be a customer. Cheers to both of you for being a good sport and letting me take the pictures of your kendamas. 

Anyways that's all I have for you. Hope you enjoyed the read and see you soon in my next entry! Have a nice day and stay awesome guys. 

Slaying damas even in the train,

#HALAWESTJ part five.

Here is the last part. (I think.) This post is dedicated to the team mates who have been working hard for a spot in the starting eleven because this position is the most important of the team, they stand between the posts. Yes, the goalkeeper. So here goes.

First up, we have Nazri. He started out as a photographer for West J. when he first came from K1. Ever since then he has been working hard to earn a spot in the first eleven. What I notice is, he is the one who will always ask without a doubt, "Chief, goalkeeper training?" I respect him for that. He's a great and good friend. I'm sorry for waking up so late when we stayed over at your house over a year ago, really sorry. Anyways, hope you get more playing time Naz!! 

At this point he was piggybacking on Rauf rock. #swag 

Next up is Mr. Google knows everything, Firdaus.

He is the one to go to if you need answers. He doesn't know every single thing, but he knows a lot. He's the one in blue here, number 13. A few facts about him, he's my best customer for my boots, and he was also the first one to go out and take photos with me when I got my DSLR. There, now you know a useless fact. 

I think he was playing catching here, which explains the 'twist'. HAHAHAHA. Anyways congratulations on the scholarship bro! You deserve it you clever son of a gun. #swag

And last we have the current first eleven custodian who I just met just now by coincidence at CCK interchange, Fadhil.

Lepak je. Taken when West J. had training at Jalan Besar Stadium. He's the kind of keeper who knows what he is doing but he still needs help from his defenders but usually he can stop the hard shots from going in. Don't let his size fool you, he was part of  the H-Two-O dream team for ITE. I think he has had the most experience being a goalkeeper in West J. He is also able to guide the younger keepers if he really wants to. My choice when it comes to keepers. 

The number '1' suits him perfectly because he could easily be the first choice for any coach, any team. Keep up the good work dhil! Hope I don't cause you problems if I ever play in a first eleven team with you like that day hahaha! 

Soooooooo, finally it has ended. The last and final part to the dedication posts for my dear team mates, my family, West J. United whom I have been with for four years ever since it first started. I joined a little late but who cares, I'm still here ain't I? #halawestj. 

Hope you enjoyed every part of the series, and each little caption that came with each individual. Stay awesome and have a nice day guys!! 

Signing off like finally,

#HALAWESTJ part four.

So back again, this is part four of the #halawestj series where I feature the best talents in the squad (my opinion) and those who are consistent in what they do.

First up we have Mr. Serious (inside joke).

Darwiis - Goalkeeper/Right Back
"Eh takmo serious sangat la!" Hahahahaha well at least he's smiling here. So anyways this guy started out as a keeper for West J at one point of time but now he has officially become one of the two right backs of the seniors squad. Probably one of the fast ones in the team, and a crazy load of stamina too. He will run up and down the pitch like nobody's business. 

Azrul - Centre Midfield/Centre Back/Striker/Goalkeeper
So this crazy guy is one who can play almost all positions. Like literally. Just give him a position he will just dribble his way through the defence. We West J. seniors know that he has an amazing dribbling technique. But his shot is a different story, it is crazy powerful like crazy. He also can deliver very long balls, goal kicks and such. Talented in many areas he also can sing lol. He's one of the laziest but more hardworking in the field. He just has to stop dribbling from centre back to go up front, dangerous la bro.

Farhan - Right Back/Winger
So this guy right here is the twin brother to Faizul, on his left in this picture, blurred. Both are equally fast and speed demons and both are equally capable of using both right and left leg. This guy right here is also capable of playing the wing position due to his fast acceleration and keen eye for goal. Act cute only. 

Amsyar - Left Back
Probably one of the more relaxed and most calmest person I have ever seen playing soccer. There was a friendly that time where he got tackled rough like crazy, he wanted to get angry but he still had a fucking smile on his face. The ones who were at the sidelines just laughed and asked him to play and concentrate hahaha. Such a joker. Anyways, Amsyar and myself, we are both the left backs of the senior squad and Chief said this once, "If Amsyar not on form, Syafie on form. If Syafie not on form, Amsyar on form." And I find that true to some point. Anyways hope I can start more matches than you bro, may we challenge for the starting eleven every single time! 

There you have it, part four of the series. This post was all defenders, so the next and final post will be all goalkeepers. Plus one more extra dude only hahaha! Hope you have enjoyed the posts and entries so far, if you do please follow my blog as I update frequently which is every week once or twice. Have a nice day and stay awesome guys!

#HALAWESTJ part three.

Part three, and more team mates to talk about. In this post we have our own "Cristiano Ronaldo" and "Neymar". I dare to say this guy has the least experience but somehow he went on to win a league title with his COE team. I'll touch on that later.

So first up in this post is our own "Neymar". 

Nadzmi - Centre Midfield/Attacking midfield/Winger
One of the many speed demons I know in this awesome squad. I remember back then when Yuhua and Fuhua used to have friendlies and he would chase down every single ball and also he could dribble all the way and still could score playing as a keeper! I owe him one because during a friendly match against Boon Keng SRC, I scored a screamer from just outside the penalty box and yes, he assisted me. Thanks bro!! Anyways he's the current captain for our squad, either the whole family or just the seniors. Either way, he's another influential one on the team. Keep up the good work bro! He also can score fantastic goals from freekicks too. 

So next up, we have our very own "Cristiano Ronaldo". He's the one I would associate very much to CR7. He is currently wearing the CR7 glimmer superflys, dope as fly. And he even plays like Ronaldo somehow. His biggest inspiration (my opinion) is Cristiano Ronaldo overall. I feel like if he ever met Ronaldo in person he would be really speechless.

Shafwa - Winger/Striker/Attacking Midfield/Right Back
One of the most better improved and also one of the most experienced players on the pitch, considering he's currently playing for Warriors. He was formerly from Balestier Khalsa, before that club shut down (COE team), temporary or permanent I'm not too sure. But Balestier are back in the game now. And this guy has played for warriors and probably the best option there is for the coach to put him at right back. Anyways, just wanna say that his physique and ball control ability is what I aim to achieve someday (if I'm as hardworking as him). Even Aniq, his team mate, said "He's the most improved player of our team". Congratulations again on your victory with Warriors and hope you can play often for West J. I feel like we kinda miss your skills at Right/Left wing and we need it. Stay awesome bro. 

Asyraaf - Centre Midfield/Left Back/Centre Back
I didn't expect to ever be in the same team for someone as good as himself. This is because I remember vividly I would always challenge with him in the middle of midfield during Fuhua vs Yuhua friendlies. He would always come out on top because his body contact is crazy powerful. One of the more quiet ones in the field, but he knows what he is doing. And if anyone was wondering, he is also the brother to Aizat, mentioned in an earlier post. If I were a coach, he would probably always be in my starting eleven because he's that good at what he does. Solid as rock, this one.

Sabran - Centre Back/Centre Midfield
One of the more recent additions to our team, I welcome Sabran. He is I think the most freaking relaxed guy you will ever see playing centre back. I know because when I'm playing left back, he and me would pass the ball around very much. And about pressure, don't even think about it. He's one of the best 'trackers' or 'markers' and he would go right in to win the freaking ball. Me and him, we're Mizuno buddies hahaha! And he's fit as fuck too, just like Faris. 

So there you go, the third of my dedication posts to West J. United. All of the above in this post I can guarantee they are the best at what they do, and if you have seen them play or played alongside them in the field, I can guarantee you will definitely agree with me. So look out for the fourth post, coming tonight also! Have a nice day and stay awesome guys!!

Hope you enjoyed the read, CR7, Neymar, David Luiz and Thiago Silva.

#HALAWESTJ part two.

So here I am back again for the second part of the dedicated post to West J. So back to the people who are the best in the position that they play (my opinion). They are not necessarily the most talented in the team, but they have made the cut to be featured on my blog. First up, we have :

Akid - Centre Midfield/Defensive Midfield
One of the guys who will work his tight ass off for a spot in the starting eleven because he doesn't start that often, but he probably will in the coming year to come, having improved so much in the past year. His best areas are retaining and holding the ball, and helping out with possession. His passing rate is 90% or higher, true story. Keep up the good work, and hope you'll score from the midfield someday bro! Your shot is getting more powerful.

Faris - Centre midfield/Defensive midfield
Probably one of the best ballwinners around in our team, he wins the balls cleanly and most times, he gets the free kicks for us in many areas too hahaha! Currently the most fit team mate I have personally seen. If anyone needs a gym partner, he is the one to approach! Sapao ah this guy. 

Zulfikri : Striker/Centre Midfield/Attacking Midfield/Defensive Midfield
Due to his small and brief stint in Balestier Khalsa, he is probably one of two most experienced midfielders we have in West J. The other being Aizat having played for Bukit Gombak. Probably not the hardest worker in the field, but he will prove to you why you should put him in the first eleven. Oh and he has a shot similar to mine. (Powerful like crazy) 

Fathoni : Left-Right Midfield/Attacking Midfield/Left Back
Probably one of the best tricksters I know who is fast and agile at the same time, and now he's more daring to challenge and also go for the ball, unlike last time. I saw it happen during training. I would also like to take this opportunity who's in "Furious Five" a big and juicy Happy 19th birthday bro!! Your present is probably gonna be a kendama so just wait for it alright! Hahahaha you are my Duelmasters, Yugioh, Tamiya, Yoyo, Match Attax, Adrenalyn XL, and now currently my team mate and best kendama bro. You will always be man. I probably owe you a lot because you have helped me in many countless situations, even when I need to sleep at your house. Enjoy your birthday bro! And enjoy my present to you (a kendama). 

So this is the end of part two for the dedication posts to my dear and beloved soccer team West J.

Look out for part three! Either by this afternoon or night (if I ain't lazy hehe). Hope you guys enjoyed the read! Happy birthday again my bro Fathoni!! Hope you get a lot of stuff for your birthday hahaha! Have a nice day and stay awesome guys. 

Signing off and see you in part three,

Syafie Sengetkaki.

#HALAWESTJ part one.

So I'm here once again with another lengthy blog post, and this time it's about my one and only soccer team which I have joined in the 09/10 season of social soccer clubs and have stayed ever since then. On our crest, there are the digits "4,7,1 and 0". This particular number order really means that West J. United was started in the year 2010, on the 4th of July. Yeah, I know. It is also the same date that Americans celebrate too, "Independence day". Anyways, our crest has and always will be a pegasus. (I think)

So to start off, here's our current squad for the seniors (not all of them cos this was taken during a MYL match).

Top : Azrul, Akid, Fadhil, Zulfikri, Sabran.
Bottom : Aizat, Asyraaf, Darwis, Fathoni, Khairul. 

This team was the one that faced The Boon Keng SRC team during a pre-league match, and I think they had more than enough chances to win the match, only that none were really taken into their stride. What I do know is, our ball possesion  and retention is definitely better than it ever was and it will always get better with every training.

Four plus years in the making, I think that the current West J. family is the strongest ever yet. There are a few faces here and there who have left, and some even came back, but what I can say is, West J is always welcome to new faces and new people. We have travelled to as far as Malacca to face a Malaysian team (of course we seriously got battered and pounded there) but that was because their routine and prcatices were far more serious than ours. And that was in the year 2012. Here's a photo of who went there. 

Standing at the back : Nazri, Fathoni, Zahid, Asyraaf, Azrul, Zulfadhli, Chief the great, Dua, Zulfikri, Faris, Nadi, Ayul, Me, Hirfee.
In front : Ai Ai, Ai Xin, Shafwatuddin, Akid, Aizat. 

Malacca was essential because it was a trip that was very memorable and influential. Some of them went on to play for clubs for instance, Aizat for Gombak United, Shafwa for Balestier Khalsa, and currently playing for Warriors, and also Zulfikri for Balestier Khalsa also. Not forgetting Nadzmi who also played for Tanjong Pagar at one point of time but he didn't follow us to Malacca.

 This trip also was plentiful of experiences, like me getting sick and left alone at the house we stayed in while they went out and ate seafood. I probably had the most amount of Malaysian Ringgit after the trip, hahaha! Anyways the team we were against, were a very strong team. Their wingers were really fast and their midfield were strong. Their forwards were the kind that if you feed them a good enough ball, they will freaking score. 

So here's a photo of the whole freaking awesome West J. family, taken last year. 

Forgot who the "photographer" was but he/she was in the photo too! The shadow of course hahaha! 

So yes, we are a strong team in every way possible. And yes there might be problems here and there, but this man right here, he's the super glue that is the reason why West J. is still alive and burning with passion. He's the man to thank, the man we should be owing (not literally but yes we do owe jersey money), and also the one who started it all. Shafwa's uncle, Chief (not his real name).

The one and only reason why West J. United is still standing strong and has a lot of oppportunities here and there. Thanks Chief! 

So yeah there you have it for our West J. story, there's a lot more to say but I wouldn't wanna waste your time hahahaha! At the same time I would like to take this opportunity to feature a few remarkable West J seniors whom I think are the best in their position currently.

Khairul : Forward/Striker/Winger.
Having previously only joined last year, I think that he has the best scoring record playing as a striker, and I only got to know him through a futsal competition quite some time ago. Didn't realize that he is actually 'that' good. Keep up the good work Khai! 

Aizat : Defensive Midfield/Centre Midfield.
Currently the better one in midfield or the best that we have in our team! Most probably the guy you will hear screaming and shouting in the field or outside the field because he loves the game that much. Pretty stoked to have him by our side for four years and counting, even though at one point of time he uttered the words "I QUIT", which i wasn't around to see. Ever since then, Aizat is they key to the passing and possession in midfield. Ah here you go, wanted a feature right? HAHAHA AMBIK KAU. Thanks for the words of encouragement all the time during matches to the team man. 

Faizul : Attacking midfield/Striker/Winger
Sorry bro, don't have picture of you in jersey ah hahaha! Have but I would rather have candids ceh. I would probably say he was and currently is one of the best attacking midfield talents we have in our team. There are younger ones but I think I'm just gonna talk about the seniors. He's a chef too btw, Rashidah is a lucky girl HAHA. Score more often man, cheers! 

So I guess that marks the end of part one. Part two will be uploaded very shortly. Have a nice day and stay awesome guys.

Part two is next!

My boring life all these 18 years. (And a few dedicated paragraphs to my friends who are the whole true meaning of the last three paragraphs. You are beautiful, you should know that.)

5 days later, here I am again guys! And today will be the most shocking thing you'll ever see me post. Don't worry there won't be any explicit content here, but maybe explicit words and descriptions. So if you aren't ready for this, I suggest that by the end of this sentence, you could open a new tab and close this tab.

You know that moment when you have someone to be happy with? Yes be it a date, girl/boyfriend, friend with benefits or even better, a fuckbuddy. Yes I said it. Don't say I didn't warn you ah, hahaha!
I'm such a respected guy (I think), and I'm sorry if this entry changes the way you think of me but I needed somewhere to let it all out.

So let me start things off by saying, those who have known me well, always know that I will forever and always want to talk to girls. You know why? Because when a person from the opposite sex suddenly approaches you and wants to talk to you, you become interested. Unless you already have someone to always be interested in of course. Other than that, you would always likely or so be interested to reply to that someone who has tried a pickup line or two with you. (referring to girls reacting to guys cos well, I'm a guy duh.)

The other thing is because, nowadays I would actually WANT to ask girls stuff like "hey want to go out and take photos some time?" because I genuinely think they are good looking! Every single one of them. I am not biased towards any girl in my life because honestly speaking, all of them are beautiful.

A visual representation of me being thirsty for almost everything - hugs, kisses, sex and whatever the fuck else you can think of, lovebites, whatever the rest of that shit is called. 

Yes. I mean it's not quite a big issue but I guess I'm the one who makes it sound so big to myself, cos I'm a virgin and I don't know why I'm not proud of that. For sure others would be saying. "Wah you so good so innocent ah never do anything in your life." That's the thing, I haven't done anything exciting in my life. Name it, and I probably haven't done it at all. Haven't kissed, cuddled, done "it", don't have a proper ex, and all this considering I have already lived my beautiful life for 18 years and I haven't really entirely experienced anything exciting.

Speaking of ex-es, my very first ex was Afini. At that point of time, she was really cute and tiny and always wearing her red-framed spectacles everywhere she went, and with her quite thin body I must say she was really attractive. I just have to point out here that I want to apologize to Haqim, my best bro in primary school who I have showered with before that I sort of stole Afini from you bro. I wish I hadn't because if not I really am sure you two would be a longer-lasting and much sweeter couple. 

The relationship didn't last long because it was sort of a "monkey love" or cinta monyet as they call it in malay. And i remember vividly how we broke up HAHAHA. It's kind of stupid and some might say I might be an idiot for doing so but oh well, the past is the past. And now, Afini is like a crazy (not literal), hardworking, beautiful, tall and responsible woman, and I respect her for that. I just want to upload a picture of us when we were both secondary two and just appreciate our fetus stage. (take note that this was during 2010 and I was still full time sudent)

Such a sweet smile from her. She looks lovely and still does 5 years later, which is now, 2015. See you soon Afini! 

Okay so that's finally over. Sorry for such a long post, my blog is supposed to be a storybook but it didn't make it so I couldn't publish it! Nah, just kidding. 

So anyways, I'm planning to do a project recreate where I take photographs with the same person and hopefully in the same angle and also the same area if possible. If you guys know me personally, and would love to participate, just tweet me, pm me on Facebook or mention me on Instagram. Possibly you could also show me what picture you want to recreate, or which picture of us you would like to recreate. 

So the last thing I would like to touch on is the fact that sometimes, guys think that they can take advantage of girls just because they girls "belong" to them or so they think. I would like to touch on this issue because personally I have three friends who have been taken advantage of and I would like people to be aware of the fact that no matter what someone asks from you, no matter where you are or where you find yourself in, you have the final answer to whatever question or thing that he/she wants you to do. If it's a no, it's a no. Don't bullshit talk cock telling lies to everyone when actually you were the one who was taking advantage of her because she loves you or because she's really nice towards you. 

Oh yes, out of love, one would be willing to do anything. But if the answer is no, it's a no. Please walk away if the other party decides that he/she is the one who decides what happens and when he/she wants it. It's not socially responsible and I would love my readers to know that. Personally I think that people who take advantage of others are assholes, asswipes, the rejection and shame of the society and that they should be the one ashamed of what they have done, not the ones who have been taken advantage of. They are the ones who should be voicing out what had truly happened and not stay quiet because people who take advantage of other people, are bad. Really bad.

"Once a douchebag, always a douchebag." Yes that saying is really true and unfortunately I am of the gender that is being blamed for this very sentence. I totally agree with girls saying that most guys are the same and all, but seriously man. There ARE guys who WILL be your best lover, make you feel HAPPY. He will LOVE you with all his heart and you will know that it is all TRUE and not just words. "ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS." Yes that saying is also true and that is the only fact why I like to make my friends speechless when they say something I say won't come true and all. I enjoy making people feel speechless in a way that they didn't expect this to happen, like they never ever see it coming. 

So there you have it, my fifth blog entry. It might be a little bit too personal, but oh well I ain't a serious blogger, just someone who does this for fun hahaha. Hope you guys have had a good read and enjoyed my content. Have nice day and stay awesome. Here's a picture of me smiling for the camera :-) (hope you like it!) And really sorry again for the very long entry hahaha. 

I think this was when I was secondary four, which explains how thin I was at this point of time. 2012, best year ever. I miss how thin I was :(
