Today - Played against kendric lee in the cheers national today. Got steamrolled 21-7 21-6. Felt damn weird. First time my arm ached. My arm ached while i was playing against kendric lee today... weird... first time my arm actually ached while i was playing a match... like i just did weights the day before... damn the sba hall... the drought there is like in hurricane... first set i can lob hard and the shuttle still in change side only just using my wrist the shuttle go out. wth... gave away like 10 over points because of that.

Opened my series 1800 deck today. The cards look cool but the feeling is a little weird. I dunno if its just me or that the card really is weird... Maybe its because the cards look old but feel new... Rather nice deck. I think the magic colouring book is quite a good trick. Just that people who are observant enough might know how the trick is done. Good for mass audiences i think... Haven't been practicing magic for some time. Just pick up my cards to play a little while here and there...

Memo* Back to Sat - Yesterday -> Had flag day yesterday... Damn boring. Woke up at 6:30 and went to newton to collect the collar pins to sell. Lexmond came in his "sexy" black converse shoes haha. looked like he was wearing flippers >.< Xuan Juken Yu Ming Timothy and Po Hau came too... Lol never thought that yu ming would ever sign up for any thing VOLUNTARILY . Gathered as a group left as a group to Dhoby Ghaud den we broke up tim pohau and yuming went off themselves. The remaining few of us went to check out magic hall - too bad it was closed still. Den after that we wandered around orchard road tryin to get ppl to buy our collar pins. success rate was like 1% so we calculated that if we had to sell 80 collar pins, we would ahve to ask 8000 ppl LOL. den xuan got pissed and bought 12 of his own collar pins so he can slack... same boringness till bout 10 den rgs and cresent girls started coming to have their flag day... by 11 it was like every 5m in orchard road u see one grp of rgs ppl. Like omg?
Blablabla got bored den went to find tim and stoned while they sold their pins and went back to newton to report. den we went for lunch and juken went off for tuition and xuan went home cos he was broke. me and lexmond went to magic hall and looked around. wanted to leave but felt bad not buyin anything so i bought the series 1800 and lexmond bought a chopper deck. Den we went to park mall and i bought a magic colouring book >.< lexmond went home after that. Den i met up wif alvin and went to swee lee, ranking and excelsiour to look around. I sorta found the harmonica i wanted but a little exp. The lowest they could give was 130 bucks... mayb i'll hunt a little more to see if i can get a better price....

Boring day boring week. Nothing much during this week. Lessons was per usual.... but we had a charity cafe today. Specially bought 8 1.5L drinks and 128 plastic cups for that... carried them home till the plastic bags tore... damn irritating. the bottles fell out of the plastic bag like 5 times, and this stupid taxi driver had to reverse in front of me. Nothing much during charity cafe. Just pon class to sell stuff and slack in class practicing cards with joel and lexmond when teacher not around. Joel bought this trick called "horsing around". Rather cool. I wouldnt buy it though... little rating there >.< Mostly i've been practicing the jordan count now.. I can do it roughly fine. Its just the last part where u take the last card - bums me. Few days ago in the library, Gerard came to me and was like "haha u noob u read ur blog. OMG! u can't even do a JORDAN COUNT!?!? U're so noob omg u suck" so i was like yea fine show me urs den. Turns out his jordan count sucks more than mine. He flashes his cards like everywhere everytime. ROFLMAO. This sat got flag day. Maybe I'll drop by magic hall with lexmond after flag day...

Today was a stupid day. My sis's birthday today... Her classmates were rather irritating... Haiz spent the a whole 3 hours filling water balloons. And no thanks. life sucks. Did a performance in the function room... Not really a performance though, by the time i got onto the third trick, like half the ppl where gone. likt wth!!! My mum said she would pay me 50 bucks for that... hope she does.

Still cant get that stupid trick. I guess i got too engrossed in learning the Jordan count till i forgot the whole trick. Damn. One of the trick i did during the "performance" was triumph. I think triumph can be one of my best tricks. Forgot to show incredibly clean...

Life sucks

Haiz.. National Day holiday over so fast. It's another blue monday. Week B as usual, dismissed later from chapel than week A. Surprise me there. Went to school depressed cos i still cant do the trick which we bought at magic hall last tuesday. Didn't expect joel to have problems with it too. he's pretty much stuck at the same point as me... can't do the freaking Jordan count properly. I got encouraged when i knew joel couldn't do the Jordan count too... so i tried to practice the whole trick again, and i realized i forgot how to perform the trick. Sinking morale again back to square one.
*Memo* Saturday - Sitting at my table, going through the tricks i know. Found i could remember only about 13 tricks. Damn i should know more... Guess i'll watch Jay Sankey's 22 blows to the head again... sian i forgot almost everything from there. Think i only remember one trick from that dvd. Damn... life sucks...

Memo:*8th August - National Day. Me - slouching on the sofa, reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Read through most of the National Day celebration. The last book's not bad. Better than i expected, but the ending is rather abruptly. Well, at least reading the book is better than watching the movie. So far all HP movies suck. They haven't much followed the book, cut out so much stuff. Anyway, i havent been touching my cards for a long time since i started reading HP. Read order of phoenix, half blood prince, and deathly hallows in a straight. Never imagined snape to be good. LOL. the impression in the 6th book of snape was really strong. haha. hard to see that he was actually good, but i like the twist. Its waht made it nice-er. I think i must have forgotten the trick we bought recently at magic hall. I only remember the Jordan count. Forgot most of it. The disappearing card case seems like a rather good effect to me though its really quite stupid once u know how it works. still, i think the effect would be good cos its really visual. Good for small kids and adults too. I guess i've to start to have some real visual tricks if i'm gonna perform for parties. I can't see myself performing in an adults' birthday party... It would mostly be kids. The thought of being a stage magician irks me. I mean.. to me, a stage magician is more of the gimmicks than skills required. Street magic's still cooler. But if i'm gonna perform at kids' parties, i should better have some visual stuff.

We had our annual school cross country event yesterday. Retarded. I still cant believe i fainted. Not exactly fainted but i sort of blacked out for a few seconds. Damn i could have got top10 if i din faint... Went to pizza hut for lunch after cross. Jethro's retarded. Piling the cheese on his pizza. I'll see if i can get a pic of his pizza. Then we went to magic hall. Saw solomon. I bought this lame disappearing card case gimmick. The effect's not bad i guess. Got this thumb tip flame too. Then we bought another trick and spent the remaining time slacking and jamming.

Z my sister's birthday's coming soon. She's making me perform for her birthday party when i havent even agreed to perform! Worst thing, I'm not even going to be paid a cent! Wheres justice... I think I'll probably just do a short half hour show. Bleah*

Today was the opening ceremony of our school badminton hall. I had to be there from morning to evening. The morning part was just boring and rather lame. The only cool thing was that we had candra and indra, ricky and rexy to come. Damn cool! Rexy was damn cool. He did lots of funny trickshots while stroking and playing the exhibition match. Sadly i forgot to get their signatures. At least i got to see them. =( Ronald Susilo and Kendric Lee came too.

Speaking about gerard's blog. Seriously, decknique is not bad a website. The videos are cool (check out the birthday tribute video i think thats wad its called..) They show some real cool stuff. Dananddave.com is not bad too. Trilogy's finally out! but its damn exp! like wth 85US. US!!! its like a hundred over bucks for that!

I just realized gerard chee has a blog too. Zomg... i read through his blog.. its rather lame - almost like mine =.= in one of his posts he added some video which is supposed to be a "tutorial" for a random flourish.. eh wads the name... oh yea Apocalyspe cut. Sounds retarded enough to be a name.. honestly the tutorial sucks! i cant even see for nuts in that dim background. I think i could do better. Mayb i'll ask if gerard chee knows how to do it. I'd like to see him show me ;D

Damn. I got a damn audition on friday to get my busking license at 2.10. now, i just got informed that i have to go for a compulsory briefing by my teacher for some official opening ceremony for our school badminton hall. Seriously lag... Celebrate the opening ceremony of our NEW hall after we've used it like for almost a year? Might as well open the old hall for ceremony. Just hope that the opening ceremony wont be so boring. I've got to be there from morning till evening. =.=
