Nice Week :)

By JiM91
Ahhh....its been a long time since i updated...but here i am again...with i guess another long post...3 weeks ago (if not mistaken)i went down to Salem and visited my friend, Hui Yin also one of the 40 of us from Malaysia in the States...It was a good visit...Took me to the Salem Centre (mall) and later her host parents took us to the tulip festival...And to tell you! It was so so so so beautiful!!!!!!!! I havent seen so many tulips together...it was just thousands of them and looking at the different colours...wow...really amazed me...So, let the picture amaze you rather than the talking bore you :)








































Well, thats the Tulip fest...The next day, my host parents brought me to the second balloning flight...and this time, i got to go on the flight!!! how amazing is that!!!! Yea it was awesome...Its just so peaceful and calm up there...It was around 1 hour of flight and we just cruise over the landscapes and houses, trees, fields...just amazing!!! and here...more pictures :)

























And that night, host parents brought me to play pool...honestly speaking i'm not good at all...pakat hentam the white ball and try to get the other in just will do it :P But more practice boleh lah tahan...Basically it was just a fun week for me :)









Well, have to tell you, most of the pic (playing pool) is just acting pandai only :P

Next will be PROM...already updated it on Facebook but will try to update it here asap...till next time :)

 

Updates....

By JiM91
Hey everyone...its been a while since i update this blog...and for many reasons...First is the internet connection...i knw US internet connection suppose to be fast yea...but sadly, for no reason why, my connection in my host family house is pretty slow...sometimes can be slower than the snailmyx....so, i planned to update it in the school library where internet is like super fast but havent got any chance doing that...2nd reason...this past 2 weeks has been really busy and tiring...loads of assignment to do, tennis practice and facebooking xD...i dunno why, but the main point is i was really tired...3rd...FURSTRATION...for your information, this is my 4th time trying to update this same post...1st time, i completely deleted it without saving it to the draft...2nd time, was happily doing it till suddenly the com lost power...and 3rd time, suddenly connection lost...*sigh* didnt have the mood to do it...

But, here i am writing this post hoping this time nothing bad is going to happen cause i spend LOADS of time just uploading the pics because of the connection and also the photo size...
Hmmm....how should i start...SPRING!!!!!!!! Yea, as said in earlier post, spring is here...and its been even beautiful....


Flowers blooming, birds chirping away, blue skies and also *best thing of all* LESS RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!Oregon has a bad reputation for its bad weather...so hope, my luck from Malaysia can change something...but anyway, its just a nice place to be in the spring... :)




the best thing about spring is its flowers...


2 Weeks ago, my host parents brought me to the Oregon Coast at New Port...and the day was just fine...we couldn't have asked for better day than that day...the sky was blue, there was the perfect wind for us...just lovely...And the beach was beautiful...You (people in malaysia) might think this is nothing and i do agree...but you must realize that, this poor boy here havent seen sand or a beach for 4 months now...which normally back home see the coast every single day...and yea, i do think malaysian beaches are way better...

One thing sad that i have notice about the beaches here is that...you have this nice, beautiful, tempting sea in front of you which is perfect for surfing, swimming, snorkeling or do what ever water activity you can...BUT, no one does it....why? because the water is FREEZING cold! I would love to tell the people in oregon, nyak nye betul lah...xD, its just like having food but not able to eat it...haiz...kesian kesian...


dun ask me why, i have no idea why i put the shoe there....







After spending sometime at the coast...we went to the Aquarium...and yea it was good, but from my point of view, KLCC Aquaria is much much better...maybe because its new and this one is old...or maybe i just see most of the things which are there by just scuba diving...but something really attract me...SEA LIONS!!!!!! now...imagine this, me seeing sea lions and being so super excited about it is like someone go to malaysia and get so freaking excited about chickens...sea lions are like everywhere in the coast...there are at the dock, the port and around the boats...this one we saw it in the Aquarium...Oh ya, one thing about their aquarium, they have more weird stuff...















So, after looking at weird fishes and normal underwater thingy's...we went to have SEA FOOD...first first, it was indeed excited to be able to taste sea food at last...but, western style sea food is just not sea food...there is no connection in it...there is no click....tak ngam...argh!!! all this make me miss malaysian food (sea food especially) so so freaking much...fuhhh...tahan 2 more months then i will eat up the whole malaysia when i get back...

After that we went sight seeing...and this is one of the famous bridges in Oregon...






So that was 2 weeks ago...today, i did something really interesting...BALLOONING!!!! What the heck is that? HOT AIR BALLOON!!!!! Did i ride it?


I would awesomely love to but, i didn't...i crew for a Balloon pilot (means help the pilot set up and launch the balloon) and it was still loads of fun...and i was also one of the chasing crew...it was amazing...i mean, mana lah ada org malaysia pergi main belon kan? xD....tomorrow there will be another launch and this time, i might be lucky to join the ride with the pilot...hehehehehe...so hope for the best...Here are some awesome pics which i took while setting up the balloon, chasing it and also keeping it...
















this is after the balloon had land...and ready to be kept...


Hmmmm....what else to update you guys...Tennis....Tennis has been tiring and also challenging...loads of matches to come...which means more tired...but fun :)

Just came back from watching Dragon Ball the movie with friends...it was crappy...not the same as the cartoon...special effect pretty much sucks...story line, to simple...but its funny to see the crappy-ness of the crappy movie...

Been playing quite a bit of guitar...trying to find more time to practice...but, yea...not playing in a band for so long indeed has made my guitaring slopping down...really hard to keep the tempo constant these days and also the strumming...but, will do good once i get back home...









I guess thats all...wait...I CUT MY HAIR!!!! :P
so...till the next update...i better publish this quick before something else bad happens...there is no way i'm going to write this same post the 5th time...so chaoz!!! :)

again, dun ask about 'why is the shoe there'

If i ask you a question, which is your best movie? Most of you will go for maybe more of action, like what we have now 'Fast and Furious' or you would like a animated, 'Monster vs Aliens' or...oh goodness, can't believe i'm typing this out 'Hannah Montana'...i think i spell it wrong...which i dun care cause just in case you dont know i HATE disney movies or series like these...(including Jonas Brothers and the High School Musical group)
Well, all that is way off my point that i want to bring up here...I'm a dog person...I love dogs...and i have 2 of them...and i've been missing them since the day i left home...Moments ago, i just watch a movie that really touched me...Well, i guess it will touch anyone who has a dog...and not just have a dog but have a strong relationship with their dog...

'Marley and Me' a movie about this couple who decided to adopt a labrador retriever...to make long story short, they live with this dog from they were without children till the day all of their children a pretty grown up...about the connection between them and their dog Marley...about how their relationship went...and it was a really funny movie (most of it) but at the end, Marley gets old and sick...and they need to put him to sleep...the ending part was really touching...

I totally recommend you to watch this movie...i'm not sure when it was released but i'm pretty sure its a movie released last year or so...I don't like to watch sad ending movies you might say...well, this movie kinds of end sad but there is kind of a scenario that makes you feel happy for Marley's life...and about his relationship with his masters...so, not a total sad movie after all...if you have a dog, totally must watch...or most of you probably watch this movie already...i dont know...
inspired
But anyway, Owen Wilson and Jennifer Anniston stars in the movie...hope i spelled their names right xD...
 

Another Defeat...

By JiM91

After two straight wins in Pre-League matches...(6-2, 7-5 win over SpringField and a 6-2, 6-0 win against Cascade) The first league game we lost badly to Cresent Valley 2 days ago...Well, it was ok since we were seriously off of shape...

But todays match was a different thing...We played well...i shall say the best since we ever played before in matches...and we were in total domination in the beginning of the game, leading the opponent 3-0 in both sets...They were way off compared to us...but they took a 100% of their advantage and we didn't...I'm not very good in the base...and Patrick is not good at the net...(Patrick is my partner) So, they played mostly to Patrick on the net and on me on the base...we in the other hand didnt take the advantage of kicking them out easily...Pat was not aggressive enough and my serve was the opposite of what i use to have...So, ended up losing to Dallas High, 6-3,6-3...

So pretty darn disappointed as i know that we definitely could win that game...But, things like this happens...and fuuhhh...trying to take it as an positive things its a real hard thing to do...But anyway, i really hate losing but i do accept lost/failure...so i WILL win the next game against my next opponent! Thats a promise!!!! I will strive to be better and get better...

YOU WON'T SEE THE SAME ME IN TENNIS EVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!

Wuhuuu...tomorrow practice at 5...hope you dun disappoint me with your stupid rain, nasty Oregon xD...

My Jersey and Racket...

After 3 months of cold...now its spring...that means no more snow expected...and the best thing about spring is more sunshine...but its also one of the things i hate...also more rain...so both equally balance, sunshine and rain...But today went out for a walk and the day was just beautiful...made my day and my mood...fuhhhh....I hope everyday will be as nice as today...




South Shore Dr..the street where i live in...


nice blue cloudy day makes my day ;)

little daisies blooming on the green flat field...

the beautiful colourations on those tree's....

I love Spring...

Well....today has been one of my best days...Why? Well because the guitar i ordered has finally come!!!!!!!!!! Wohoo...so after calling the shop, went with my host mum and when i look at it, instantly fell in love with it...
Its a Ibanez ART 100WH model...With a Gibraltar III bridge, ARTCORE 2-S Bridge Pick-up, and a ARTCORE 1-S Neck Pick-up...The sound is really really nice...not regrets...and i also got a Roland Micro Cube Amp, which makes it even better...the sound from the amp is just incredible for a small amp...Totally satisfied...

Well, another thing which i think should post this long enough...I'm now a South Albany High School Varsity Tennis player...and we had our first 2 official matches last week...and i won both hehehehehehe...what a start huh? i mean newbie go and try to play, get into school team, win 2 first match...First match against SpringField High, me and my partner won 6-2,7-5...and the 2nd game against Cascade High, we won 6-0,6-2...And just now during training, i finally got my gound stroke perfect...wuhuuu....just a beauuuuuutiful week for me...I know been bragging a lot...sry bout that...
Don't wanna waste any more time...here are the pics of my new AXE...

My AXE and the Roland Micro Cube amp...

Well, some of you might find my previous post depressing some might find it encouraging and motivating...but since i've been mostly talking about my 'bad' results on my last post...i got something to cheer me up :)

Well, i got a 99.5% on my American Studies Grade...which was the highest among all...Well, indeed happy for that... xD as for not being an American and started the class 6 weeks late...Well, there is always something good behind everything :P
