-Light up another one, we'll be here for quite awhile

bleh

2008-05-28T01:25:00.001-07:00

bah. nerding.

i quit. for real.

2008-04-08T09:48:00.000-07:00

i would like to announce that i am taking a break from serious poker, be it online or live. this decision was made after much consideration and how the past 5 months have changed my life. i am currently feeling burnt out grinding 4-5 hours a day from 12-5am or trying to squeeze in 1 or 2 Sit n' Go's or a quick cash game in between classes. With my uni semester exams coming up in two months i felt that it was the best decision that i take a break for quite awhile, and concentrate on my studies, my saturday soccer league and spending more time with my girlfriend and awesome friends here in melbourne.i cashed out my remaining 50bucks and am not looking to deposit anytime soon. its not easy making this decision as i consider poker one of the few things that i excel at and its a game that i really really love. of course i'll still keep in touch with the poker world, but i won't play a serious tourney or cash game except home games with friends to have a laugh. enough is enough and i'm coming clean with my total profits and losses.

total profits: 1.4K
total losses: 1.5K

there goes my dreams of wearing that full tilt poker logo on my shirt or cap everyday.oh well, reality is, i don't think i'll ever make it that big. haha.

bye world of competetive poker, i'll see you in a few months.

P.S
on a more important note, recently i found out that a someone very dear to a few of my friends had passed on, and although i may not know him personally, but i can say i know him enough to feel saddened by it. I am very sure he was a larger than life figure to his friends and family, and that he will be sorely missed by everyone. Andrew Yap, rest in peace, may you find comfort in the arms of the almighty.

Question From awexjr: does anyone have a good read on Gus Hansen?
Bill Edler: not even his therapists

was on the full tilt pro discussion page. haha.

lol donkaments!

2008-02-11T15:05:00.000-08:00

you know its not going to be a very great day when

1) you couldn't sleep, at friggin 5.30, so you decided to study and stay up instead in a bid to repair your screwed up body clock and wake up early for class on wednesday (its tuesday morning now)

2) you take a break from studying about chemical kinetics and play abit of poker on full tilt. great, you're in a tourney, and your first hand you get two black kings. you raise 4xBB and get 4 callers. flop comes 2s,3h,4d. check check, you raise 7xBB, button moves all in, fold fold and you call. button flips over A9spades, you type in that small chat box "LOL!! DONKAMENTS!! WHAT A NOOB!!" and you thank god that your bad run is over. turn and river comes two spades, and boom, you're busted. opponent types " sorry man, i pressed the wrong button." god i love this game. it makes me sooooo mad.

3)you just spent 14mins watching sesame street on tv.

its going to be a long long day.

stephen jenkins should be a lecturer at my uni.

taugeh!

2008-02-04T07:49:00.000-08:00

eugene eugene, guess what? i had fried rice at home for lunch today!!its not as good as the outside stall sell one, but i think again, for me, its quite tasty wei, with the kicap and the mushroom plus the 'egg mata kerbau', but got no crunchy taugeh la..=(

stupid game, finshed it 6 times, am on my 7th time thru it now.

chocolate from the girlfriend's trip to macau/HK. pretty cute.

from the shit happens poster on my wall, swear to god i can recite most of the nonsense on it.

sj, gene, golf. ok?

musings.

2008-01-28T04:30:00.000-08:00

digup some pictures and post bout them. easy topic filler.

i really miss the Altezza.. will always remember the time donn blasted some stupid ass hip hop song and winded down the windows and told everyone in the car to not smile and look damn lan yeng. i thought it was damn lala. but funny at the same time.

heck, i even miss looking at that freaking speedometer and the needle at 160km/h when i take long drives.

found this pic of zyl drunk and trying to hump the mannequin through the display window.
i've got funny friends before they're drunk and after they're drunk it gets out of control.
eug,zyl,donn lets go get wasted one more time. we don't need to call the dude below already cos he knows how to cheat when we drink. lol.

sudah terlalu senget dah uncle lim.
cannot accept this!

at McD's KLIA.
i miss my girl like 5millions times more than i miss my car.

goddamnit i'm bored. and sleepy. and have classes tomorrow at 10am, and i THINK i know the place. summer ain't what it cut out to be. aussie millions over with some unknown russian kid winning..that sucks, i was rooting deeply for Erik Seidel to win, same goes for Tsonga, i wanted him to win too..but dammit, ppl i root for hardly wins.

bah.

apology

2008-01-23T08:59:00.000-08:00

i'm sorry.
to the very core.
from the bottom of my heart.
i'm sorry for having to put you through this for the past 3 weeks and next 4.
please stay strong. for me and for you.

what two cards, a chip, and a chair has taught me.

2008-01-21T22:00:00.000-08:00

that in life, you have control over anything but luck.
you have the mathematical capability to predict the outcome of things.
but half the time, you're wrong.
that money, is really in your hands to lose it.
restraint is one of the key things in life.
don't judge someone by what they do or say.
any two cards, can beat any two cards,
similarly, anyone can do anything better than anyone.
inside every short stack, there's a monster stack waiting to grow.
similarly in life, you might be a bit short right now, but everyone's got potential.
sunglasses are gay at poker tables.
iylia likes to strip halfway thru the game.
and once, he poured bbq sauce on himself.
donn can't play limit games.

and poker taught me that nothing can compare to the smile from the girl you love when you get home after a long gruelling session, even if you go freakin broke.
nothing.

doh

2008-01-20T20:26:00.000-08:00

weeeeeeeeee.

melbourne is hot.that's it.that's all there is to melbourne right now.
except aussie millions, and when aussie open starts, i hope i can bump into federer or something on the streets. hah.

already sat and watched billy the croc at aussie millions event one. what' a pro.

right now, playing party poker. because couldn't play poker at crowns, too packed and no sit n go's available. damn. still in the tourney with 500ppl left, i guess its not bad, i beat 400+ ppl. haha.

had the same thing for dinner 2 nights in a row already, though i love it, i guess i'll just go out for dinner tmr..or take away..whichever one's in my mood, or cook my garlicky-mushroomy-pancetta filled pasta again.

hella hot..even with the fan on. and bored out of my mind...waiting for class to start so i can get to studying and score my first H in uni..haha..and no more P's or N's this year! changed man and a promised man..

you can tell that i'm bored by reading this post..i'll upload some pictures the next post

leavinggggggg on a jet plane!

2008-01-02T00:59:00.000-08:00

woo. new year. new post. new stuff, and dammit, second year in uni already. heading for summer school tomorrow...must say that while it is exciting to go back to melbourne and uni, but i'll really miss being in KL and subang and klang and PJ. i'll definately miss drives to bangsar, BV, midvalley, OU, and even once, pavillion. heh. i'll miss my harrier. i'll miss the altezza, i'll miss the cooperS.

did not fuck joshua johnson's life up enough, should do more, and note to self, make sure he freakin goes depressed the next time i come back. haha. joke bro, you know without you i'll be damn dull.did not eat enough of my favourite foods, although did go down klang for nasi and roti yesterday with the family. satisfying like hell. =) went for lunch with the girlfriend, eugtan,janey and diandran (i think that's how u spell it according to tioks.) then donn called ask me where he was cos he needed to know what's there to eat in bangsar, coming from BANDAR UTAMA. BIG BIG UUUUUUUUUUUUUUU TURN. hahahahhahahahhahahahha.

guys are in langkawi now, probably already drunk and smoking like fags...damn i wanan be there too but heck, i've got my la trobe apartment to get drunk and smoke in i guess. heh.

well 2008's just started, and i've got a feeling this year will be something different to last year's.
don't know how, don't know why, but just feel like so.

i wanna be in london, with bon jovi playing always. i don't care if it sounds gay, cos i'm sure i can round up at least 10 ppl to go with me. eugtan and donn will be the first 2.

and most importantly, i'll miss yong tiok nee when i'm in melbourne.

vrooom vrooom!

2007-12-16T03:01:00.000-08:00

ok, i'm sitting at home now, picking parts of my future desktop of these piles of catalogue papers that i've gotten from low yat for weeks (2 actually) but haven't gone thru them. had to refer to mr hong chong omaha champion for advice since he's the computer man.

it'd be funny if one day we call up a pc service center and then the person on the other line goes:

"hello, abc company, iylia speaking, how can i help you?"

"oh hello, my pc ar..dono why ar..."

"suck my hong chong la"

heh.

watching the WSOP horse again. damn i miss poker. forget kenny tran, i know eugene tan.

i love my altezza. and its new radio.

that's not mine though, but its the same..everything cept that car plate. haha.
and my uber cool USB radio.

i'm leaving soon dammit.
and also, i need to play something football related other than on the ps2.
futsal la guys....

1234

2007-12-07T20:47:00.000-08:00

so right now i'm at home, in subang, playing full tilt poker, hoping to qualify for aussie millions, waiting for time to have lunch, which would mean to drive again, having driven damn alot the past 3 days. haha. damnm guess i won't be going aussie millions for now, just got felted.

been home for almost 2 weeks? i got to say, i do miss home and will miss home when i go for summer in january, but i guess it just makes things much more enjoyable now.

i seriously need to see more people other jaytsen and mel (girlfriend not counted.)
mr and mrs kok, you'll be back on tuesday, lets go makan your mee.
mr teh, faster, friday night, yum cha, saturday futsal.
mr pang, just come back and play poker...are you staying at my place now?

girlfriend's in HK, and i admit that i miss her lots.

i love my Altezza.

realised that by doing 2 things i've managed to keep readers away and blog at my own leisure:
1)complicated site name, as according to donn and joyce.
2) not updating.

haha.

hrm..

with smiles on our faces,
we're trapped and well concealed,
in secret places,
we don't fight fair~
- patrick stump, 2007 from "the take over, the breaks over"

something's in my lecture notes.

2007-11-11T06:49:00.000-08:00

“The cult of the Individual Life is … ultimately self-defeating. For one thing, most individual existences are routine and unremarkable … Biographies cannot help reminding us, in the very act of distilling the uniqueness of their subjects, of just what tediously generic creatures they are … even the most wayward of geniuses have to get themselves born and educated, fight with their parents, fall in love and die.”

Terry Eagleton.

i'm off to psych exam. weee.. 105 MCQS!

2007-11-09T17:19:00.000-08:00
