Morning bloggers! yesterday was the most tragic day for all A7X fans! JAMES OWEN SULLIVAN AKA THE REV DIED IN HIS HOME! when i received the news via sms i was really disconsolated and flabbergasted ! i rushed home from tuition immediately and turned anything that could feed me with news of the rev's death. He died of natural cause but the orange county officers are still investigating, they think that something else led to his death. why must god be so unfair to gifted musicians like him, why must this people who share their talent and enrich the music world especially in the metal genre die so early! My thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family and i hope that no one else will disturb their privacy. I'M REALLY SAD about this and i hope that a7x will still continue in the future to spread their talent and beautiful music to all metalheads in this world and may God bless the rev and the whole of a7x.

MERRY SUCKY CHRISTMAS!! i hated working on the eve of Christmas and on Christmas day itself!! yesterday i made so many blunders because the chef could not pronounce the words well!! i was running all over the restraunt making tons of orders and not even realising that i was sweating profusely. well today i handled 5 tabels by myself due to my lazy and ignorant manager! i feel like slapping his fucking face!! so whatever my knee and wrist still hurts and i can't wait for monday cause its my last day of work!!

2009-12-23T23:55:00.003+08:00

nothing much today. fell down on my knee really hard today while i was skating and fell on my wrist again! hurt a little but whatever a skater will never stop skating at that moment because he's injured, its an addiction like when a smoker won't stop smoking no matter where he is or in whatever condition he is in. so i got myself up and continued skating. i would like to thank that skater dude whom i met during maria's birthday for his skate tips! It really worked!! now i can Ollie way higher then before! after skating went home so my little cousin in my house. she started kicking me for no reason and kept on hitting my wrist! got annoyed and locked her in the room for two minutes( that's how u scare the shit out of kids).OH yeah so there is this dude who badmouthed about me on his blog, i don't know why i think he's jealous of me or some other shit and he used racial slurs on me . so now I'm playing a prank on him just for fun but i feel really mean cause the prank is really malicious! so yeah that's all for today!

Guten morgen everyone!!! i have not been blogging for such a long time probably because i was so bloody bored and was dying of boredom due to the really boring holidays and my job! they should make the holidays for fun or maybe its just me cause i have been learning German during the holidays to lighten up my days of doom. past few days there was a really crazy girl who kept on talking to me and pestering me, i really made a mistake of giving her my number!! why did i do that i have no idea FUCK! i went skating for the past few days and i'm dying to get myself a new and better deck when i get my pay by the end of this month!! My class chalet started yesterday and i might be going there later. I was a reading a news article a about this dude who was a school drop out and he won 8.5 million dollars by taking part in a world series of poker!! really respect that dude cause his was the youngest chap there and imagine what his going to do with all that money!!so its not always school that builds your future to be a millionaire its you !! if you believe in yourself and invest alot in what you do best! we dont need any help to be rich!! and i was flabbergasted by what he did cause he believed that he was going to win the competition. so enough of positive words heres the news!

College dropout wins $8.5 million poker jackpot

LAS VEGAS (AFP) – A 21-year-old college dropout won the World Series of Poker early Tuesday, completing the biggest comeback in the tournament's history to earn a 8.5 million dollar jackpot.
Joe Cada, the youngest champion in the 40-year history of the game's richest and most prestigious event, won with a pair of nines after about 90 hands head-to-head against second-place finisher Darvin Moon.
Moon had a queen and jack, and none of the other cards drawn in the Texas Hold ?Em hand improved it.
"I'd like to thank all my fans and my friends," an emotional Cada told a raucous theater full of supporters in bright-yellow T-shirts bearing his name. Later he told reporters: "It's really surreal right now."
Cada squandered a huge lead at the start of play late Monday against 46-year-old Moon before barreling back in a finale of constant betting in which he moved strongly ahead for a time.
It was played before an audience of more than 1,500 people at the Rio Hotel-Casino at a table stacked with bricks of cash. A diamond-encrusted championship bracelet gleamed on the side of the table.
Cada's triumph was particularly stunning because he was down to just two million chips out of 194.8 million on Saturday but came back to finish as the chip leader.
"He's another bright young voice, he's very good and he'll be a new light on the scene for some time," said Dennis Phillips, a poker professional who finished third in the 2008 World Series. "He'll be a great ambassador for the game."
Moon earned 5.1 million dollars for his second-place finish. The lumberjack eschewed the spotlight and had never been on a jet until he won entry to the World Series by winning a tournament at a local casino that cost him 130 dollars to enter.
The top two outlasted a field of 6,494 who played down to nine finalists in July and then survived a 17-hour marathon session that ended Sunday morning when they knocked out Frenchman Antoine Saout for third place at 3.5 million dollars.
Cada is from recession-hit Detroit, Michigan, the son of an out-of-work auto parts design engineer.
His mother, Ann, is a blackjack dealer at a Detroit casino who tried to dissuade her son from gambling when he left college to focus on his online play.
"When he started doing so well, I said go live your dream," she said. "He can always go back to school if he wants but how many people do what they love?"

lets talk about Ris Low!!(special edition!!)

Who is she? some girl who won singapore world 2009(the judges are really blind)

she speaks really bad English!!!

and acts like a bimbo!!(and a again i think the judges english were really bad too!! and maybe they were fellow bimbos!!)

she pronounces Khaki as car-key!!
she thinks that zebra prints?? can be worn with jeans??
( she would be a really bad fashion expert in the future!! )

videos can't be shown cause my computer sucks!

during and interview she told the reporter that she would want to become a nurse because she would want to give back to the society( yeah cause she stole credit cards from the public and told them thanks for your credit card but one day i will repay you!!)

Finally she gave up her crown after realising that her english is really bad, she like stealing credit cards and thinks that zebra prints are cool!( i think my grandma is a better fashion expert)

Finally they chose someone who really speaks good english, can construct proper senences, has a wise fashion sense and have no criminal record( but i forgot who she is!!)

Special edition( next might be about flying monkeys and cannibal dolphins!!)

2009-10-12T17:25:00.002+08:00

Finally!!!!!!!!! my 'N' level exams are over , I'm released from the cells of 'N' levels!!
I'm free!!, I'm liberated!! but i don't know what to do, maybe i will look for a job to earn some bucks or just go skateboarding everyday!!! gonna go City hall later to create some ruckus over there and tomorrow i might talk about how bimbo-tic Ris low is!!

January 2008

This could be the most stacked Thrasher of the year! Need some points for your class reading list? You could write a book report on this one. Todd Taylor penned a hilarious article on the fight he and his friends put up to get a concrete skatepark in their Los Angeles neighborhood. If his words don’t stoke your sense of civic duty and inspire you to get something done in your own hometown, nothing will. Then it’s on to the ripping: Joe Hammeke spent a week in New Jersey with Fred Gall, Tim O’Connor, and Steve Durante as they put the finishing touches on their Habitat footage for Inhabitants, and Giovanni Reda hung out with the Lakai dudes for days as their deadline approached for Fully Flared. Guy Mariano, Biebel, Jeff Lenoce, they’re all in there—including 18 pages dedicated to the man of the hour, our SOTY-to-be, Marc Johnson. We put together a grip of sequences from Marc’s three-song part in Flared, highlighted by some choice quotes pulled from an interview he did as the filming was wrapping up. January’s also got interviews with new Label pro Shuriken Shannon, Zero’s John Rattray, and Hosoi’s big man, Andre Genovesi. See? We told you it was stacked.

Today was the worst day of my life! Yan xu and i were supposed to check out the half done skatepark at East coast park since everyone was saying that it was open to public during the weekend. Even though the weather was bad, Bloody Rain!!!!! so after it stopped raining we headed towards the park. Suddenly a couple of skater chics walked past us and told us that there was something bad happening at the park and i was pissed but we still headed towards the skate park and suddenly a biker told us that some asshole, mutherfcuking, idiotic old man out of thousands of people at East cost park called the police and told them that the skaters were skating illegaly in the park. soon after the construction company came down and blocked the entrance with their lorry and locked up all the skaters in the park. I was so pissed, i wasted my freaking time to see all this shit!! but lucky enough i was not one of the skaters stuck in the park because they will surely be prosecuted and i really pitty them. I'm mean come on la let us, we skaters!! to skate there and does patriotic asshole singaporeans should just scramm off and don't interfere. Bloody old man!! soon after we headed back to tampines and skated for a while.

Hey everyone! last Sunday i went for the Singapore vs Vietnam match. It was disappointing cause Singapore to Vietnam . Everyone was upset which led to a bloody riot outside the stadium. People were burning Vietnams flags and there so many fights. So it, laughed at it and left. It was lame for the singaporean fans to fight cause they are huge losers and had no sportsmanship thats why they got into fights. dont think i'm one of them cause i was a fan of neither team

Yesterday was the craziest day of my life and kinda of embarrassing. I went skateboarding as usual but i ended up going home all bloody and injured. I was doing a manual down the slope when suddenly from nowhere a tiny rock appeared and my wheels hit into it and i flew! crashed and hit my mouth on the floor and my nose too. Closed my eyes and lied on the floor . Then i touched my nose and my mouth and opened my eyes. BLOOD! The pain kicked in. Freakishly pain!! Everyone was staring at me and i was all fucked up. I woke up and smiled at everyone, luckily Yan Xu got me some tissue to wipe it but i was still bleeding like anything. After a while i went home and got scolding from my mom! LOL!
