I TAG DANIEL SYAUKANI

he knows what he needs to do

JOKE OF THE WEEK/MONTH/YEAR you be the judge

If you all were at the football field (around mid May according to Howie) while us (then form 2's) were playing an improvised version of touch rugby/american football , you'd probably know that Swee took the air out of Ash Li's stomach by accidentally closelining her causing her to FLIP (yes people FLIP) we all rushed to her "aid" and initially when we got close to her she was in pain , a second later though she was laughing (we were all still gawking at what happened) then after she got up she said and I quote "I'm hungry" WE ALL STARTED LAUGHING OUR ASSES OFF . Ok since you already know the story I'll start telling you what Howie said at RSC on Tuesday (which I forgot to tell)

We were all talking about sports , then someone brought up rugby , Yudish wasn't playing so we told him the story , right after that Howie said this "Swee's been waiting forever to TACKLE Ash Li" I BURST OUT LAUGHING AND HIGH 5-ed him. Ash was speechless :D

Impossible Is NOTHING

Adidas launched a campaign sometime in 2007 , I wasn't late on picking it up just thought it's inspirational now."When no one believes in you , believe in yourself , one is better than none"


Adidas presents the evolution of its brand thought Impossible is Nothing with a

campaign that encourages everyone to take their first step in reaching their impossible.

Through stories of real people attempting and achieving what once seemed like impossible goals, adidas hopes to inspire people to think about their own obstacles and how to overcome them. The campaign will launch with a globally integrated execution on television/on-line, retail and print on Tuesday March 6, 2007.

More than 30 international sports stars and everyday athletes tell their ‘Impossible’ stories

using their own hand-drawn illustrations and paintings. Each athlete chose a defining moment in

their life and then illustrated it through images and words which would later be combined to create the campaign.

“With this campaign we get a glimpse of the athletes not at the finish line, but rather at a pivotal point in their journey,” explained Eric Liedtke, Senior Vice President Global Brand Marketing, adidas Brand.

The Campaign has gone live in the U.S. online March 5th, starting with a multi-media program that showcases the content collected from around the globe; including 21 TV commercials, 15 documentaries, 1 long-format film, behind the scenes footage and exclusive digital content. The roll out will include social networking, mobile, instant messaging, branded trailers, promotions, prizes and other elements that invite consumers to interact with the brand and encourage them to take the first step in their personal impossible journey. The TV will launch in the US on March 14th, featuring Kathryn Smolen, Gilbert Arenas and Allyson Felix ; an everyday average runner telling her story next to an NBA All Star and Olympic Medalist, showing consumers that their obstacles are just as achievable and important as elite athletes.

In April, a custom MySpace profile will provide consumers a venue to tell their impossible story, potentially have their story featured on the adidas Impossible Is Nothing site next to their favorite athletes and download exclusive content, including inspirational mobile phone messages from Gilbert Arenas and other athletes. The artwork created by the athletes will also be featured in a traveling exhibition later in the year.

The unique advertising content was created by inviting the athletes to spend time in an art studio with a toy box of art supplies and allowing them to bring their story to life in their own way. This created a wealth of material which consumers will see in commercial films, posters, books, documentaries, exhibitions and even clothing designs. In film, print, digital, and retail content, the athletes’ real-life experiences come to life through animated films and static images created by the athletes themselves. The results are deeply personal, edgy and refreshingly honest.

Highlights from the new campaign include David Beckham telling how he braved death threats from fans after the 1998 FIFA World Cup(TM). US basketball star Gilbert Arenas explains the reason he plays wearing the number 0 on his shirt. All Blacks rugby legend Jonah Lomu talks about the challenges he faced when told of the possibility of spending the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

The concept, created and executed by adidas’ global advertising partner 180 Amsterdam (180/TBWA) is the latest in a long line of successful collaborations between the two in recent years. From the original ‘Impossible is Nothing’ launch campaign in 2004 which was built around Muhammad Ali, to the memorable meeting of English ‘kicking gods’ David Beckham and Jonny Wilkinson and, most recently, the award-winning football World Cup campaign +10.

Men & Women (total random post) || I'm Leaving

First of all this is what is TRULY coming out of my head , please don't be offended or hurt in anyway. If you are I shall respect request to remove asap.

A normal person would say the obvious difference between the two are the physical attributes , I'd say its that guys are more stupid than girls are , we make harsh decisions without weighing the consequences . Girls on the other hand will ask , peoples' opinions matter to them just as much as theirs does .

Us guys where else will make decisions based solely on emotions , I had the experience first hand , telling people off to fast without finding out as Howie says "Who,What,When,Why and Where" I apologised to these people who I did so to but I still think they have some kinda urge of avoiding me , can't blame them though .

_______________________________________________________

We're (like I've said a million times on this blog) growing up too fast , people are leaving , no remorse? for others? I'm not sure.... All I know those who are leaving will be missed dearly (okay not ALL just some) . NZ is destination number one for Moose , James is soon off to The Land Down Under , Bryan may just skip off to Switzerland , Ash might just somehow stay in London? how do I know I'm just assuming , she hasn't been clear on the subject , Yudish's parents have been bugging him to GTH out of Hartamas as well . Their reasons are all very good , if I had the chance I'd pack my bags and leave for America right about now and live with my relatives over there and play varsity ball (no JOKE) . If they do leave I'll miss them obviously , no more "wedding vidoes" no more "three point competitions" "no more macha" and no more "JAME JAME" I really as of now don't like growing up , give me a time machine and I'd start getting my life together when I was in std one , I'd change so many things , play basketball everyday , get better , make life better . Wherever you guys end up I'll probably still be here so please remember Mr Chinaman : ( if not then so long and good bye

Freshman

When I was young I knew everything
And she a punk who rarely ever took advice
Now I'm guilt stricken, sobbin' with my head on the floor
Stop a Baby's Breath and a shoe full of rice, no...

I can't be held responsible
'Cause she was touching her face
I won't be held responsible
She fell in love in the first place

For the life of me I cannot remember
What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise
For the life of me I cannot believe we'd ever die for these sins
We were merely freshmen

My best friend took a week's vacation to forget her
His girl took a week's worth of valium and slept
And now he's guilt stricken sobbin' with his head on the floor
Thinks about her now and how he never really wept he says

I can't be held responsible
'Cause she was touching her face
I won't be held responsible
She fell in love in the first place

For the life of me I cannot remember
What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise
For the life of me I cannot believe we'd ever die for these sins
We were merely freshmen

We've tried to wash our hands of all of this
We never talk of our lack in relationships
And how we're guilt stricken sobbin' with our heads on the floor
We fell through the ice when we tried not to slip, we'd say

I can't be held responsible
'Cause she was touching her face
And I won't be held responsible
She fell in love in the first place

For the life of me I cannot remember
What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise
For the life of me I cannot believe we'd ever die for these sins
We were merely freshmen
yay e yay e yay hey yay eya e yay

For the life of me I cannot remember
What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise
For the life of me I cannot believe we'd ever die for these sins
We were merely freshmen

We were merely freshmen
We were only freshmen

I'm not in a good place now.. so just read the lyrics.

Failed Planning Turning Out Great :D

I'm only doing this earlier (watching NBA game) cause Miss Chatterbox aka Ash Li is kacau-ing me to do so. Seems like I'm the only form of entertainment she has now... oh well. *Edit as of 10.10 PM she just went to watch Grey's Anatomy , so I still have sometime :D).

Woke up damn early, like REALLY early , around 7 am ish , watched Transformers (buffered the day before , I'm one of those "lost" people who still hasn't managed to watch it, from what I know Yudish and Whey Jinn are the other two.) After dad FINALLY woke up (I think he came home late... too much "toti" and pool -_- anywho... Called Yudish to make sure he wasn't sleeping... managed to wake him up (I'm now known as the alarm clock thanks to Moose, he also made the JOKE OF THE WEEK today, tell you all that later :P)

Ian called me just as I was about to leave and asked where I was , I asked him to call Ash to make sure she wasn't sleeping either (talk about over confidently confirming attendance on FB) lucky I did as she was in deep snoring sleep :D jk jk . Miss Chatterbox was hesitant to come at first but remembered Moose was gonna be there so she used her pro-ish persuasion skills on her mom and she agreed lol. She also managed to use that skill to ask Ian to be more lively (he's been abit of a maple zombie lately *Keefe's maple zombie motion :D that was hilarious the thing that Keefe did* .... sleeping at odd hours but he still hasn't slept today so we'll see how long he'll hold , hope he doesn't faint from lack of sleep or something O.o

Arrived at 9 ish , saw Aunty Rani (Yudish's mom) in the car , wondered why he wasn't there as well , made my way to the basketball court to see Ian & Yudish already warmed up hahahaha , after I got closer to the court I saw what the MONSOON did to the resting place = TOTALLY DESTROYED IT. Well thats my theory :) seeing that it could cause a landslide at Bukit Antarabangsa. Keefe arrived just as I was gonna lace up and Yudish asked me to tie he's laces as well -_- as usual. Used Swee's shoes since he was busy with he's cousins in Subang. (or some place that started with an S)

Played a pick up game 2 on 2 while waiting for Howie and Bryan. They came 10 minutes or so after , they warmed up and we played 3 on 3 *insert Ian,Keefe and Yudish's streak here* *Insert Yudish's,Mine and Bryan's streak here* Ash arrived fairly late (since she wasn't sure , refer to what I said earlier) Kept shooting around for the time being... we were all malas to play a game so just sat around talking.

*Continuation as of 11.59 AM Dec 10th*

Sorry about that... felt blank and disoriented yesterday after the long day.So lets continue :D

Two other members booked the court hence leading us to leave , management was kinda bitchy so we had to pay , Keefe was kind enough to put it on he's card first and we'd pay him back later . Met up with Ash,Ian,Yudish,Howie, and Bryan at the cafe' , everyone was sitting at our usual spot (like "Friends" LOL) place smelled kinda moldy though -_- Discussed with Yudish to have a proper meal at RSC (which would be on him :P) managed to get him up to it , asked everyone to follow , tell me one Malaysian who'd give up a free meal and I'd tell you otherwise :D . Drank our drinks , Howie and Bryan finished their ABC , Yudish and Ian ate their nasi lemaks and we were off to the pool. Lazed around for a bit changed into swimming attire (which took Bryan,Howie and Yudish quite awhile , we're still mistified at what took them so long O.o ).

Got Miss Chatterbox and "Beef" to swim (I didn't agree with Keefe swimming since he's sick but he was too excited to do otherwise) showered first and YES the water was cool , like REALLY cold . Went on the slide a handful of times , Yudish was the most craziest screaming things like "BABI!!!" & "PAKATAN RAKYAT!!" while coming down the slide . Bryan as expected made the biggest splast , Keefe was a close second , Howie almost flew , Ian was sleepy ==" so he didn't go on much , Ash will get the high pitch award for her screaming while coming down LOL.

Later , Bryan, Howie and Keefe decided to slide down one after the other quickly , like one second after the latter would come pumbling down causing Howie to GET THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY of Mr Fat Ass aka Bryan :P Bryan did it to me as well but I like Howie managed to swiftly RUN lol. Swam till we basically got HALAU-ed ==" some idiot said something to Howie causing him to get pissed off.... and told Keefe to ask us to "register" that word meaning in un-educated BM means put your name and pay a fee -_- must be Syed Hamid Albar's cousin or something *inside joke* . Everyone got dressed , Bryan left and we made our way to RSC which is just next door :) Keefe was telling us the membership fee and monthly fee and suggested we just tell those people off by saying "WAH! so expensive ah? might as well I go next door" good idea , will consider next time there (IF WE EVER GO BACK THAT IS -_-)

Another mah fan person -_- RSC guard insisted that we write down ALL our names , lucky he's supervisor stepped in and said NO NEED for all that nonsense , Howie thought it be funny to write down my name though. Sat and ordered our food , I being the only TRUE Malaysian had Thai style fried rice and teh tarik while Yudish fell into the waiters trap by ordering the recommended Lamb Shank which cost RM28 (thats considered expensive for RSC) especially since it came from the PIZZA CORNER -_- . Ash , Ian and Keefe opted for the tuscany fish wrap and Howie had some pasta dish with garlic and lamb sausage slices , finally Keefe and Howie decided to gross me out by ordering escargot (Howie kept pronoucing the T LOL) which was served on garlic bread and was cooked in CHAMPAGNE , talk about typical CHINAMAN taking advantage of the loaded Indian :D

We talked alot about Moose's departure after Christmas , Ash's trip to Europe (only England and Paris) I told her not to come back with an accent and calling guys "fit" instead of "hot" . Yudish as usual kept asking what'd happen if he was held under I.S.A , Miss Chatterbox thinks she'll bail him out , I'd like to see where she gets the cash LOL (people can't even be bailed out of I.S.A. in the first place). Ended that LONG session we had (i think we made the most noise) and SUDDENLY Yudish suggested coming to my condo , me being a horrible resistor felt fine with it BUT THEN Keefe and Ian wanted to follow LOL , said bye to Ash before her EURO TRIP ahahahha and went to the cab that waited for Ash's mom to arrive (we all gentlemen mah need to wait for lady to go back first , cannot abandon) Her mom being so kind asked us if we needed transport but seeing that a Camry can't accomadate 7 people we thought better get in the cab (that had been like i said waiting for us , imagine if we didnt get in , he'd be PISSED OFF man). Dropped Howie off at Bryan's (we all kept asking for money from him , no reply what so ever AHHAHAHAH) and the guys came over for awhile . (I guess thats all for now , I may continue writing what happened at my place but maybe later)
