How this lobo was born... Henderson Primary School (Lobo year 1989-1994)

Just feel like doing a shout out back to the past. A warning to all though: REAL names will be used b/c you can say it's my own total recall. Whether I'll get it right is another issue altogether. Also, there will be people whom I'll missed out. Don't worry. It's not b/c you suck by default. It's b/c of events way beyond a couple of years in counting.

"The northmen have long memories. A lord who does not seek his rightful vengeance threatens to have his own men turn on him." 

 Note on above: Westeros is fictional. Fullstop.

Teachers I still remember: Mrs Cheong, Ms June Wee, Mrs Goh, Mr See, Mr Lee
Principal: Mrs Fong
Pseudo-lobos of note: Huang Feixiang, Ha Lai Wah, Qiyong, Weiquan, Jean, Baoli, Tommy

Shit that I did: Can't really remember much apart from the fact that I was a slow-mo learner/writer back during Mrs Cheong's time. Read: Pri.1.
Note: Definitely NOT like this though.

One particular episode of note was the fact that come primary 4, I broke down for some wtf reason that somehow eluded me. Ms Wee became vexed and... well shit just happened. Not that I'm about to point any fingers though. Just that this was my first moment of wtf. >.<

At the same year or so, I experienced YET another wtf moment of the same nature. Apparently, some shit happened between me and Baoli. I forgot what that was, but still everybody was a certified si-geena, so I'm not too perturbed over this episode. Or rather I've learnt to laugh off a lot of stupid stuff committed both by me and others.But lol yeah, Mrs Goh went powder keg modal on me. I've forgotten why anyway. And I don't give a damn now anyway.
Note: Of course Mrs Goh's words back then might have been proven eerily prophetic. Apparently, there's a reason why the monicker "Mad Scientist" was reserved for this SG bugger here.

Mr See has gotta be the funniest teacher in my HPS years. I still remember him talking about the Four Great Beauties of Ancient China. And I still remember him producing a sample portrait while telling the guys to close their eyes first. Just because his intention was to let the girls see first.
施老师，说什么咱们男生看了会流口水。。。本人已经知道啥米是坑小孩了啦！还有貂蝉乃罗贯中的笔下人物。绝非史实而是虚构。

Mrs Fong... nothing much of an impression apart from her very own Iron Lily moment. Telling us about all that Dragonball cards was one thing and tearing up one right on stage is yet another. No thanks to that moment, Mrs Fong will always be that Iron Lily that every of us si-geena truly feared.

Mr Lee, now that was one hell of a guy. I still remember getting the rotan on the hand. For whatever reasons, I dunno. But still you'll have to give it to the fact that then was then, now is now. If any teacher dared to pull off such a stunt at this era, MOE will be set on red alert. But not so much back then. Given that si-geena will always be one, I guess things do have a funny way of working themselves out if you all get what I'm saying here. At least I've learnt how to be responsible. Or rather just the tip of the iceberg. Interestingly enough, the X-men animation was the rage back then. Even good ol' Lee sensei wasn't exempted from the hype.

Special note should go to Mr Singh as well. He arguably pulled off the greatest bluff in HPS history. Look so fierce and garang on stage, once go inside classroom can become so humourous. Case in point: I still remember that Mother-Out-Law joke.

And now just something about all you pseudo-lobos listed here:
Baoli, I don't think I need to say anything. We're all kids and I've forgotten what made me used the numbskull word on you. Provocation can only be an excuse going this far. I can kill a person upon such a count and I will still hit the gallows.

Huang Feixiang, I remember you as that 四大名状之一，也就是[飞护法]本身。Qiyong would be that [勇护法] while Tommy was that [高护法]. Ha Lai Wah, you're still that [老护法]。四人到齐，此实乃[四大名状]是也。
Note: The whole nicknaming is something I made up by myself here btw.

Weiquan, I remembered him for his height. And his curly hair. And that's more than enough. Especially the latter factor.

Jean, I only remember you for that one single episode where Chicken McNugget ended up being that greatest wtf moment in my primary school life. Some more during Pr.5 or 6. Weirdly enough, I think there used to be one Zarinah whose name became the subject of jokes. Something to do with a song like this. Bobian lah. Paiseh lah. longzong si si-geena. Scarily enough, the entire Chicken McNugget saga heralded that era of social isolation where this fella here is concerned. I still remember who were the guilty ones. No joking here.

P.S: Suddenly remember a Goh Bee Teck for all the wrong reasons. Poor fella was that only bloke far more isolated than me. At the same time, he's one of the two suaysiao guys who experienced a low blow. The other is me. Done by the same person. Bobian, longzong si si-geena.

How not to court a scandal !?

This is a living example on what not to do if you're a Pr.6 kid having a crush on another girl. Trying to be clever is one thing. Going beyond the boundaries via stalking even without knowing what such an act means is outright idiocy. This true blue SG lobo had became a momentary retard back then. And that truly says something when I intend the R-word to be something far beneath the intellectually challenged. Now if only Sarah Palin knew the potential implications of political correctness all around.

Thankfully, she's no Daenerys Targaryen.

A bit of post mortem on us riding our luck...

Well, truth to be spoken, that's really the case. It's not like that Burnley match where we won deservedly on performance alone. [1] Simply put, lad of steel kept us in the match. [2]
So now comes the biggest question of them all: Do we deserve to win? Let's not take anything away from the Tractor lads. They played well, they fought well and they ended up like Rhaegar Targaryen himself at the Trident. [3]
Secondly, let's not take anything away from the fact that Mogga played A ****ING 5-3-2! Oh damned the horrors of anti-Mogga football! Even unto now, I still don't get it: Why 5-3-2? Is it because we're way too freakin' cowed by a certain Paul Taylor? [4] I shudder to hear the sniggers coming from the Mackems and Geordies. [5] Or maybe that worst part of the equation: them all Seasiders come our next match away. [6]

So I guess it's pretty much apparent that we rode our luck due to a 5-3-2. While it's true that we don't have much budget to work from [7], we still do have the kind of players who can hurt the other end and holding fort like how Jon Snow defended Castle Black itself. [8]

KEY GUYS TO OUR VICTORY (APART FROM THAT MOST OBVIOUS SUSPECT)

Bloke 1 

Suffice to say, his goal against the run of play was the most vital key to the victory. Granted we flew out of the traps like a bunch of hungry lions, but yet I can't deny the fact that the Tractors started rolling soon after. If not for that goal, we would be in a very serious deep end of shit. I know people will laugh at me for naming an unknown player [9], but still no one would even bother to know that Middlesbrough F.C Academy actually secured a Category 1 status for the EPPP. [10] But let's talk a bit about Luke himself. He's truly a raw talent waiting to be polished. This club will be the perfect setting for him to do so. Dave Parnaby isn't there for showboating and playacting, you know.

In him, I'm not seeing a striker/forward or an attacking midfielder. In him, I don't see an Emnes. [11] In him, I see somebody who can be given that free role with that license to kill. I still remember Adam Johnson way during his Academy years. Lad's extremely technically gifted with the only argument that he's merely a Championship standard being legit upon grounds of inconsistency. Luke will have similiar problems coming up because he's really another technically gifted fella. Unlike Jonno himself, you can't give him a fixed position and let him roar. Because versatility on the pitch IS his biggest strength. Either wing, offensive midfielder, false number 9 or your everyday striker/forward. He can just slot into the required job with minimal fuss. The only problem? He's just starting to find his feet due to a somewhat lengthy layoff. Mogga will do well to take note of this. I've seen way too many examples of crash and burn due to various reasons.

Bloke 2

Apparently, people were sniggering over the fact that we might have wasted our resources on someone over the hill. Equally apparent though is that they will conveniently forget the fact that he had given a good account of himself here. [12] Now let's just say that his inclusion threw me off. Given the fact that he hadn't been playing much, Mogga's decision to sign him was the riskiest 50-50 I've seen for quite a while. Does it have anything to do with Rhys Williams' freak injury? Definitely so. Does it mean anything come end of three months' calling? Yes. Because everyone must fight for the shirt.

Still, his performance seemed to have won a lot sceptics over to his side. A major key to that 5-3-2 wasn't down to any requirements for Adam Reach and Justin Hoyte to hit inhuman mode on the pitch. That is something still reserved for 1966 England. [13] A lot actually hinged on the three centre backs. i.e. Woodgate, Bikey and our equally impressive Friend thus far.

By creating a three man central defence, the onus was to stifle the opponents right at dead centre. In a very real sense, it was Ipswich's wingers who were creating problems because Paul Jewell had to do so anyway. Yet a central 3 presence could be construed as an auxiliary presence on the flank defence because that would mean our two fullbacks have to curb their attacking instincts. Or maybe let's see things this way: Without going forward, we don't have any problems in flank defence, but both Hoyte and Reach would still have their moments of running forward rather than backwards.

If Woodgate's role was to marshal the ramparts, then Friend and Bikey were imperative in covering the extra mile should our two fullbacks surge forward on a break-and-counter. All three are equally vital, but given the kind of situation which we've signed Bikey, I'll really have to give it to this bloke. :)

Bloke 3

A 5-3-2 will mean nothing without a deep lying midfielder controlling the tempo. I suspect this is the reason why Mogga was so daring do play a 50-50 formation. As per stated in a previous post, Thomson's ability to hold the ball in play is utterly vital if we're to play our own expansive football. Very little was mentioned about him in any given match reports. A lot was emphasized on how unlucky were Ipswich. A great deal was made on that Luke and Bikey show. Still, without a good ball retainer, 5-3-2 will still be shit. Because we're no 1966 Three Lions and Mogga himself ain't no Sir Alf Ramsey.

Bloke 4

If the Mackems are still feeling butt sore over the fact that Brendan Rodgers might have upended Martin O'Neill with a shit outta luck draw result at the Stadium of Light, at least Leadbitter gave them a bit of consolation. That a certified Mackem might have shut all that derisive noise for good. Again, nothing being said on him. But still, we'll have to take note that given Tommo's penchant of experiencing injuries upon the merit of random wtf, a lot has to be emphasized on keeping this guy in cotton wool. And Grant was that cotton wool. A wool made of cold steel no less. If McEachran's role within the mid 3 was meant to be that link up guy, then Grant's role was to bite the lead. It's either that or he will end up eating lead. Thankfully, Tommo only left the pitch with 5 minutes to spare minus stoppage time. Which mean Leadbitter still gave all those Mr and Mrs/Ms Sniggers {{|└(>o< )┘|}}

[1]: Amazingly, it actually took three wonder goals for us to earn a rightful victory.

[2]: Anyone who is truly serious about English football will know about his goalkeeping stats. And believe me when I say he's consistency absurdity personified.

[3]: This shouldn't be seen as a sarcasm. Aerys was a mad arse through and through, but Rhaegar is still deserving of respect.

[4]: We tried to sign that guy, we failed due to more than one reason. Still a class footballer though.

[5]: Which doesn't amount to much since all is part and parcel of football rivalry. I'm not lying when I say football in the good ol' North East has gotta be that most underrated insanity waiting to explode.

[6]: I'm not lying when I say Blackpool had been scoring for shit and giggles. And I truly doubt Barnsley alone can and will shut Mad Ian's boys up.

[7]: Of course people won't care about that. Unless they're whining about their club fortunes. Or rather the lack of it. Human beings can be extremely shallow at times. I know because I had to deal with countless such people on all things football back in my earlier years.

[8]: The tabloids can and will break anyone. Their latest target? We all know who. Only a moron will believe in any given hype without knowing how the system works.

[9]: http://unanswered-bloke-works.blogspot.com/2012/08/on-that-guy-in-my-fb-profile-pic.html

[10]: So exactly how many of the "true blue" football fans knew about it? It's either you know what's going on that caused England's current decline or you don't.

[11]: No racism preached here. Just that Emnes is far more of a technical wing forward while Luke's strength lies in his absurd versatility in deployment. I'm an imperfect Christian, but I'm no racist Christian.

[12]: Of course no one will crucify JT for a poor spell or two. Because it's JT. Because it's Chelsea. Just to quote an example here of course.

[13]: As per put forward bluntly by one of my ITE schoolmates at the Dover campus back then, one fella run like the father's house on fire and the other run like the mother's house on fire.

Again, let's spam this:

In the spirit of 1986 we trust...

10 minutes to host my own talk cock session...

Okay, 10 minutes challenge starts now.

On Boro vs Ipswich

Mogga, I still don't get it. Why you no field MacDonald? Is it because he's under the injury list? I don't get it. Ah well at least that crocked Pole has gone un-crocked. He will be an interesting option up front. Also what's the deal with Curtis Main? Don't tell me he's gonna be a sucker punch sub. I dunno tbh. vOv

Rhys' stand in=Woody+who? Two CBs, one is Woody, the other being Seb or Big Mick? At least we don't have to tear our hair out b/c we've just signed Bikey on loan.

Ishmael Miller, hope to see you at your best soon. We really need tons of that.

Emnes, you're trying too hard. You're a good footballer. Just that when it comes to scoring, you might have put yourself under too much stress.

Grant Leadbitter, I know how you feel. For all we know, the ref won't be able to help you upon other people on and off the pitch winding you up. Stay cool, give your all and give them  凸(｀⌒´メ)凸

CR7 saga@Bernabeu

Why now, not earlier? Why post transfer window, not during that period?

Brendan Rodgers and Hillsborough

To all you scousers, play with your heads, win with your hearts. To Mr Rodgers, please don't mind them Mackems. Mackems will forever be Mackems. And that says quite a lot.

Hey, did they Mackems holiday at Istanbul?

In the event JT tries something funny@Loftus Park again...

Let Anton knows this:

Interview with the Trollolol aka AGOT (A Game Of Troll)

P.R Executive: Sorry guys. This is Mr Tro... erm I mean Mr Martin's way of greeting everybody he knows jolly well.

Statement from P.R Executive

So the rules for this press conference is this: No more than three questions, please. Mr Trol... erm I mean Mr Martin is in a hurry to watch his beloved Boston Red Sox in action later this evening against some blokes team newly acquired by George Gillett Jr. Thank you very much.

PRE: Of course Robb is way too badass to die. The Red Wedding won't happen by end of Season 3. This is a promise. Joffrey will though, so watch this space.

PRE: Erm, Mr Trollo.. I mean Mr Martin is NOT anti-LGBT. Sorry if there's any misunderstandings.

Sorry there. Mr Trollolo... sorry I mean Mr Martin is getting a bit impatient to get back home now. That plus Liverpool had just lost to a lower division team if you get what I mean. 3rd question already? Good. End of this press conference.

1 week later at Trollolol Martin's mansion...

I should have given that stupid P.R Executive more work before he goes on holiday in Singapore. Stupid horny bastard... (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ

To show that I'm somewhat responsive to K-pop...

Note:
MOGEF is most likely responsible for G.D.M title watered down

Will SHyn Corp hunt me down like a cur due to that G.D.M above? Nah, doubt so.

Maybe I should do something just to idle away the night...

Hey, can you blame me for being a bummer here? :D

I blame a certain somebody for wasting my time away just b/c of this. :P

**** all you Templars and I've even yet to play the AC games.
Okay, I'm being childish here. :P

To that one Greek and Aussie...

Apparently, Foin's FB vid made this possible.

Even more apparently, AnalAlex made everything possible.
