will anyone who's ever played ref before please stand up.
well, at least i know that there'll be one who'll stand up and thats me.
yea. i've been umpiring badminton games in recent months and trust me, if you do not focus u'll screw up pretty badly. and become one of the infamous kayu refs that the fans love.
there was once i was umpiring, that day was kinda bad, had a rough night the day before and i simply screwed up a match.
giving false scores and giving wrong calls. basically whatever a guy can do wrong, i did it. haha. not that i'm proud of it. just sharing.
well, i sure became a fan 'favourite'. haha. noticably one of the players condemned me. and everytime i umpired his game, he would be skeptical and would be checking the score with me everytime someone scored.
well yea. this really let me see how life will be like if i were to have referring as a career. imagine me screwing up a soccer or basketball match infront of millions of people. the next thing i know i'd be receiving death treats and calls for my head.
haha.

Me being - A brain expert.
Feeling like the absent-minded professor lately?
Here are some memory-improving strategies to keep your brain sharp.
Ginkgo to Think
Ginkgo, is the oldest surviving species of tree, has been traced back 300 million years and is one of the most widely studied plants. The leaf of the ginkgo tree is shaped like a human brain, and some believe this is why, in Asia, it has always had a reputation of benefiting the mental processes.
A dwindling memory and decreased concentration is largely caused by decreased blood flow to the brain and loss of brain cells; ginkgo has been confirmed to boost circulation to the brain and other organs, improving memory and cognitive functions. Additionally, ginkgo is used far and wide as a longevity tonic in Asia and Europe.
The best-known and most commonly available form of ginkgo is as teas and herbal extracts, but ginkgo nut, used in the culinary traditions of Asian cultures, also has therapeutic properties and is also said to strengthen lung function.
Mental Gymnastics Keep Your Mind Nimble
It is normal to become more absent-minded as we age, and in fact, most people over the age of 40 experience some memory loss. The most likely causes of a forgetful memory include poor concentration due to brain-chemical imbalance, tiredness, depression, anxiety, and sleep disorders. If you find you are more forgetful than usual, try these steps and see if there isn't some improvement in your cognitive clarity:
1. Get an uninterrupted eight hours of sleep each night.
2. Do a half an hour of cardiovascular exercise every day, such as brisk walking, slow jogging, biking, or swimming. This will improve circulation and increase blood flow to the brain.
3. Turn yourself upside down for a couple of minutes daily.
4. Mental fitness activities are imperative to prevent age-related cognitive decline. Read and learn new things, find new hobbies, do crossword puzzles, add up your bill in your head while shopping, memorize a set of phone numbers forward and backwards; all these can stimulate brain cell activities and in some cases even grow new brain pathways.
5. Work with your physician to find a supplemental regimen that helps improve your cognitive capabilities. Memory-enhancing supplements and herbs include B-complex vitamins, magnesium, CoQ10, alpha-lipoic acid, fish oil, flax seed oil, Chinese club moss, ginkgo, and ginseng. A supplement that has been well-documented in Europe for reversing age-related dementia and memory loss is phosphatidylserine (PS), a compound made by the body from the amino acid serine. Taken in supplement form, PS lowers stress response and promotes the release of neurotransmitters in the brain that facilitate thought, reasoning, and concentration.
I hope you find your days more memorable for many years to come!

Me being - PRICELESS...
Sometimes we just need to be reminded!
A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20.00 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?" Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this. He proceeded to crumple up the $20 dollar bill. He then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air. Well, he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now, who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air. My friends, we have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20.
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value. Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who DO LOVE you. The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we know, but by WHO WE ARE and WHOSE WE ARE.
You are special- Don't EVER forget it." If you do not pass this on, you may never know the lives it touches, the hurting hearts it speaks to, or the hope that it can bring. Count your blessings, not your problems.
"And remember: amateurs built the ark .. professionals built the Titanic.
If God brings you to it - He will bring you through it.

Me being - ME!!! "what you've gotta say? get off my back!!"
hi,
pls get off my back. stop pushing me around. whats it with you?
just live your own life. let me live mine. aite? fair enough??
i do not want to be like you. whats wrong with being myself??
so what? why can't everyone be peaceful? why must we care just for ourselves?
whats wrong with caring about others? why must you be so selfish?
just because we are of the same kind does not really mean that we have to act the same.
i am me, you are you. get that?
and you, just because you're there longer than me, what rights does it make u command me around. classless.
just because you're here longer than me does not necessarily make you 'bigger' than me in terms of stature.
so pls, get off my back. you don't deserve the rights to make me do ur shit work.
if this doesn't register into your head pls read my title again. i am ME. not you.
i love it this way...
