Keisuke Honda’s an Inspiration

Posted by danielctw On June - 26 - 2010

Honda, the power of dreams. Well, it’s been proven. Honda is once again the one to ensure that Japan has got what it takes to go pass the group stages in the World Cup. Now that’s excellent play from Keisuke Honda.

Keisuke Honda Prepares

Being caught up with the FIFA World Cup 2010, the feeling of the whole universe watching a football game is exhilarating. That explains how lazy a person I’ve become these past few weeks to be blogging. Finally a team I am supporting (underdogs for the World Cup) has qualified and gone past the group stages. Of course if Malaysia were to qualify for World Cup, I’ll be supporting my country the whole way, but that’s not to be.

Keisuke Honda who plays for CSKA Moscow scored on the first group stage match. With the final group game playing against Denmark and with better goal difference with Denmark, team Japan needed only a draw to qualify pass the group stage. Once again, they prove it better with a marginal win of 3 – 1 against Denmark.

Honda was instrumental as was Hidetoshi Nakata during his playing days at Japan. Well, for someone who watches the previous World Cup, Nakata was the main man of Japan of the early 2000s and 1990s. Let’s hope Japan would play better as they go on to the next stage.

Honda Scores and Celebrates

The first goal was from a free kick, Tomas Sorensen couldn’t do anything, and from then onward it was a blow to the Danish team with every attack they gave, it shook the post or somehow goals didn’t connect. I guessed I will be going to Pasar Malam to get my World Cup jersey. (I’ve got no $$$ cannot buy original)

Keisuke Honda did a great job for his country. Now time for me to emulate what he’s doing or rather some part of him. I am going to run in Standard Chartered KL 21km Half Marathon on Sunday. So it’s gonna be a tough one, but let’s see. Getting prepared, I bought the things that I wanted to get myself more prep-up than usual. Here are the stuffs I got.

New Balance Equipments

New Balance shoes (30% off).                                                          New Balance socks (RM18).

SCKLM 2010

My Race Kit (Check out my number, faster go and buy your 4Ds or “ma piao”.

Some other stuff I would like to get

Waist Belt or Pouch to put my car keys, possible with a number Holder.

Most probably tomorrow I’ll be getting those things. Run is gonna start around 630am and let’s hope I better my time compared to last year’s run. Time to beat is 2:30:00. Now I can’t say I don’t have motivation to run, as I have what I needed.

Current practice schedule

700pm – 5km
700am – Park at USJ 10km
So if you’re thinking of joining me for future runs, why not take part in these runs that I’ve registered.

Shape Men’s Health Putrajaya Night Run (12km)
Penang Bride Half Marathon (21km)

Till then.

Boost for Japanese exam

Posted by danielctw On June - 18 - 2010

I would have updated my blog by now, but these few days have been really busy for me. With a Japanese exam lurking in the midst, I can only post this much. Though my mind is now filled with lots of Japanese words, and trying for the first time to really study for exam.

Yes, I used to not study that much in my days as other stuffs can just be played with words but not Japanese. So here’s to motivate myself and to learn some katakana. My hiragana is okay, but my Katakana is no where perfect. I don’t even know how to write certain letters.

katakana table

Here’s what I am learning at the beginning of the chapter now.

日本語を話すのは難しいです。 – のは form
私はえをみるのがすきです。 – のが form
かぎをかけるのを忘れます。 – のを form

Complicated right?

Everyone please pray for me or wish me luck for tomorrow’s exam yeah? Then I shall see whether I should proceed to Advance Class or not!

Sometimes it’s Good to Relax

Posted by danielctw On May - 25 - 2010

At times it’s just good to relax and to not think about the worries of the world. Living in the city of Kuala Lumpur where in Malaysia it’s a city that never sleeps at night, life has been hectic. People challenge each another to be well known, earn money and be amongst the elite.

KL View from my Place

That’s why it’s just good if one can just relax and say, let bygones be bygones. I am tired too, but that doesn’t give me a reason to not blog. Well, actually it’s a reason to blog such a short blog.

The Weird One DanielCtw will be right back with his tendency to start blogging actively. Tonight is the makeover of his travel blog too.

Lose my Tickets to Descent 2 from Nuffnang

Posted by danielctw On May - 14 - 2010

ROARS!!!!! Oh no…. what am I turning into. It seems like I am getting more and more absent minded. These few days I have been forgetting certain things and forgetting to do certain things. Until at times I felt that I am getting blur and more blur than usual. Take this email which I have received from Nuffnang regarding their tickets that they have reserved for me on Tuesday 18th May 2010.

This was my entry to get the tickets.

“For someone like me who likes to walk outside in the dark during the kampung days, not much to be afraid of. Though in the deep dark cave, I will be afraid when I see Timothy Tiah in there without his clothes. ARGHHHHHH be afraid be very afraid. He’ll ask you what you’re doing here? GO get your invites to descent 2.”

The thing is I won! I got the tickets for Descent 2. Problem is I forgot to do something important which is to confirm it because I forgotten that I’ve gotten the email from them.

Here was the email they sent.

Dear Nuffnanger,

We would like to inform you that your invitations to the Nuffnang screening of The Descent 2 have been revoked as you did not confirm your attendance within the stipulated time. As such, they will be passed to other bloggers who didn’t make it in the initial list.

Kindly take note.

Now you can see me all sad and feel dejected. So I wonder if I can get the Prince of Persia screening tickets instead. Then my face will go from sad to happy. =D

Side note: I know many people have seen me acting the cool pose and can’t seem to smile. Wanna know why? Here let me show you a recent shot (okay it was month’s back) and me trying to smile directly in front of a camera. That’s why I can never smile properly. Just look at the proof.

Weird Daniel Chew cannot smile

See see! I don’t know how to smile right? Weird me.

ARGHHHH!!!!!!!! It’s my first time missing a movie invite like that. To whoever that was lucky to get my pair of tickets, you guys are lucky for having someone as blur as me. *cries* I felt like want to release my power inside me and maybe blast a KAME HAME HA!

Hame Ha

Note: This photo was taken from an old post about Nuffnang screening on Dragonball.

So next time someone please remind me not to be so forgetful.
