WCE Bears
Me and Ash are WCE supporters. We both have WCE 2006 Premiers Bear. So I made a collage of us with our WCE 2006 Premiers Bear.

Mark Nicoski
Teammate
"I was very happy for the boys that played. I played with majority of them the year before and remember the pain of losing the grand final by such a small margin. Sitting back and watching on the day was obviously very tough but when that siren went I was just as excited as anybody that we'd won a premiership. I remember running down quickly onto the ground and grabbing hold of Fletchy and him hugging me and saying "you're just as much a part of this as everyone else." Thinking back it was an amazing effort and I know that all of the hard work we put in over the last four or five years since Woosha's been here paid off on that day."

City
In that big city,
she fell in love.
With a guy?
With the buildings?
With the lights?
Who knows.
We do know she doesn't want to come home.

Express it!
I realise I don't really use this blog enough to express how I feel. I mean I use it to update WCE news or when I am defending them or when I want to post photos but I don't really use it to express how I feel day to day.
Anyway to cut the long story short.
I really want to visit my cousin in London but so many of my friends want me to go to Jakarta next February for the Zone Visit. Don't get me wrong I do want to see my friends again as well as meeting those I haven't yet met but at the same time I want to see Europe especially since my cousin is in London.
That's one thing.
Another thing. Friends. I feel I do a lot for my friends and I feel some don't do a lot for me when I need them and most of the time I don't ask for much at all. Sometimes I feel they are using me. I just can't say "no" sometimes and it's a real weakness on my part.
On to something else. My tummy hurts. Went to the docs. She said it's probably some sort of virus. The only thing I can eat is "bubur ayam" at the moment if I don't feel better in a couple of days time I must get an ultrasound to see what's going on there. It is so painful. Silly virus. Not happy Jan!
On to happier news. I had fun at karaoke the other night with my friends. I even had my picture taken with my ex best friend. I know the word "ex" made it sound like we now hate each other or something the reality is that we used to be so close but now we don't really talk to each other that much anymore. But I still care about her a lot. She will always be special to me. I can't ever erase the fun times we had together in the past. I am not one to forget such things. Once a special friend, always a special friend.
Here's the photo
Had the Circuit Assembly on the weekend. The program was really upbuilding and as per usual the District Overseer gave a great final talk and he was heaps funny as well. Intan attended both days so I sat with her. She came to karaoke place with us too. Very nice indeed.
Well that's all for now. Till my next entry.

Mother Eagle Story
There's an article with a picture of Mark Nicoski in the paper yesterday. He looked so awesome. I told my friend about it too and she was all excited how awesome. Anyway the thing behind the mother eagle story. Well the other night I had this huge disagreement/debate/misunderstanding with this person in Sydney he is Indonesian and I assumed he knows nothing about footy and he annoyed me by saying that West Coast's one point win over them was based on luck. Please!! I don't like his sarcasm either so I set him straight. I win the debate. So yeah I am mother eagle. That's what my cousin called me when I told her my story lol. Don't mess with the Eagles. I will be in their defence.

Jamie S
I don't like it when I can't help my friends. I just want to make their pain go away. I truly do. I want to be there for them and to give them the right advice but sometimes it's hard to find the right words of encouragement. If someone need a friend, I will try my hardest to be there for them. That's why right now I am hurting because I know my friend is in so much pain. All I can do is listen to them and be their friend.

Michelle
A friend of mine hurt my feelings today.
I was trying to make a conversation with her yet she went off at me.
I thought it was rather rude.
I guess she's not as nice as I thought.
Who would want to be friends with that sort of person.
I deleted her off my friends list.

Neglected
I didn't realise I've been neglecting my blog a bit *hugs blog*. I must admit I have been slack mainly because I go out lots and by the time I get home I just want to do other stuff so blogging isn't even on my priority list. Now I know why some of you neglect your blog. But I love reading other people's blog and comment. It's fun. Anyway I am chatting with Roland at the moment on YM! Fun!
Anyway yesterday I went witnessing with Rochelle, Sarah and Caca. Then me and my mum went and had a study with Intan.
Today I went witnessing with Caca, Lin and my mum.
So been witnessing heaps.

I miss her so much.
I wish I could see her again.
I had a dream about her the other night.
It made me cry that we didn't get to hang out during our teenage years.
As children we were best friends. Then she left. It still hurts.
She was my first real friend.
I miss you Leah.

Love This Song
My friend gave me a mix CD earlier this year and I listened to it today. Then my grandma walked in saying my grandfather used to play this song over and over. Awwww.
Sail Over Seven Seas - Gina T
Day by day I miss you so
You have to go my love
Where a ship so far away
You don't tell that will return
Before the autumn comes
Everyday I dream of you
[BRIDGE:]
In my dream a little seagulls
Flying through the darkest night
Searching for some teardrops in
The wind with the ship of lonely loveless
I sail over seven seas
Try to find the captain of my heart
[CHORUS:]
I sail over seven seas
To find to your heart
I sail through the darkest night
I sail to your heart
I sail over seven seas
To find to your heart
I sail with the winter night
Oh... alone in the dark
I don't fear the stormy night
And night don't feel too cold
All because I miss you so
In the distance I can see
The island of my home
Oh... I like to be with you

Ugh
I tried to be nice to this person. But instead he treated me unfairly. I really thought we're friends. Maybe we're not at all. I actually felt sorry for him when things were bad for him. I take them all back.
Then again maybe I'm wrong.
Then again maybe I'm wrong.

AFL/Australian Idol
An AFL buff's take on the Final 12....
Dean - St Kilda. Looks good when up & running but pressure may start to tell. Has mass appeal (esp with the girls). Big X factor
Lisa - Carlton. Disappoints every week. Supporters can't accept there's actually very little talent there. May have success in very distant future
Ricky - Fremantle. Keeps getting through despite underdog status. Big darkhorse not without a chance
Chris - Bulldogs. Lots of flair & energy but just making up the numbers at the business end
Jess - West Coast. Loaded with talent & strong work ethic. Deserves favouritism
Damien - Sydney. Not fashionable but gets the job done. Loyal fan base
Lavina - Adelaide. Looked very strong early but disliked by all except her fans
Mutto - Collingwood. Passionate performances but just a plodder really
Klancie - Port. Some ability but has bogan written all over. Again hated by all but ardent fans
Joseph - Richmond. Pretender. Showed glimpses but has never, nor will ever, amount to anything
Reigan - Geelong. An enigma. Looked great early days but something went horribly wrong
Bobby - not sure what sport he was actually playing, but it was good while it lasted

Kingdom News 37
Yesterday I went witnessing. We started the Kingdom News 37 campaign. An elder in my congregation already got a nice experience from the first door. Basically he offered the tract to this lady and an hour later she approached another brother who she saw across the road and asked for fifteen more. Isn't that great? She wanted to give them out to her family and friends. So yeah what a wonderful experience and from the first door.

High School Reunion
Last night I went to my high school reunion. It was fun. Everyone recognised me and were so nice except some people I don't recognise back.
It was really nice talking to everyone since I was shy back in high school. So I think high school reunions are good for closure for those who were bullied and shy back in high school.
Some pics from last night!
With Jodi. She is so friendly now!
With Emma and Liz. Our school colours red and white that's why the balloons red and white.
With Julie. She is so nice! I can't believe we actually can have conversations now!

I am so tired. Oh this morning I went witnessing with Bruce, Ivan and Adriana. It was good then went to Intan's study then went to Harbour Town to get a card for Ann and Claudio's engagement. Got another card as well.
Socceroos won 2-0 over some country sorry I can't remember who they played. But Tim Cahill is a cutie. I know he's not even BLOND. But you know you don't have to be blond to be a cutie. It helps if you are though.
Thanks Ro for the SMS. Awww so sweet of you to try and cheer me up but I am fine just been doing stuff outside.
I want to travel so bad.

Well I made some choc chip cookies today with Ellena. Nice! Oh earlier on we went to Harbour Town and I got the Eagles Premiership poster finally from the Sunday Times *waltzes around the room*.
Yesterday I went to the Royal Show with Intan, her boyfriend and her parents. Got showbags for my niece (Divina) and also for Dee. I got a Freddo showbag for myself. Got a Dora the Explorer doll with it so I guess Divina can play with that whenever she is here. She got so many toys.
Just finished watching Australian Idol. This year's is pretty good actually. That's all I gotta say.
Well that's all for now.

How Funny!!!
ON SUNDAY night, it was Adam Hunter's goldfish that fell foul of the quirky celebrations of the youngest West Coast premiership player of 2006. While not quite devoured, Andrew Embley discovered yesterday that he'd been had by Beau Waters, too.
Embley had spent several days worrying that he had lost his Norm Smith Medal, revealing yesterday that he hadn't seen it since Saturday night.
The 25-year-old, who has danced his way through every function and commandeered the microphone at every opportunity, said his celebrations turned to despair on Monday night when he realised the prized possession could have been lost.
"At one stage, I was stressing massively. I was like, 'I've lost my bloody Norm Smith! I don't know where it is!' " Embley said.
Waters finally put an end to the vice-captain's anguish yesterday, revealing that he had the medal in his footy bag at home.
Waters has been at the centre of celebrations since the dramatic one-point win over Sydney. He collapsed in the rooms on Saturday night when a combination of exhaustion, dehydration and beer left him light-headed, but by Sunday, he had recovered sufficiently to snack on Hunter's goldfish.
Yesterday, as the Eagles were feted with a street parade in Perth, Waters reminded him that he had given him the medal for safe keeping during the post-match celebrations. And he warned that Embley might have to dig into his wallet to get it back.
"It's on eBay right now," Waters laughed. "I've got it in my bag. I found it there this morning when I was looking for my toothbrush."

Old Mark Nicoski articles I found. So so sad.
Depths of despair
10:46:03 AM Sun 25 September, 2005
Jason Phelan
Sportal for afl.com.au
West Coast youngster Mark Nicoski has offered a rare insight into the emotional rollercoaster that Grand Final day presents to an AFL footballer.
The 21-year-old felt both dizzying highs and crushing lows on the day and he recalled running onto the MCG in front of nearly 92,000 fans with awe.
"I was living a childhood dream to be honest with you," Nicoski said after the match.
"I'm an Eagles supporter, I've grown up in W.A., so to be representing the club in a Grand Final (was) just an amazing feeling.
"It's like (the) Coliseum, there's just no words to describe it. The amount of people watching you - it's an amazing feeling and it's one that I hope I can get again."
The young midfielder also plumbed the depths of despair after his side fell agonisingly short of premiership success - losing a titanic struggle with Sydney by just four points.
"Numb is probably the best word to describe it," he said of how he felt after the final siren.
"Just seeing a group of guys so jovial and another group of guys so down - it's hard to comprehend what happened. I've been watching Grand Finals for 21 years now and I always used to wonder why the team that lost was so disappointed.
"Playing a full season of footy - it's my first full season of AFL footy - you understand how much work goes into getting into a Grand Final and I think that's probably the main reason why the team that loses is so disappointed.
"We've ended up finishing second, but we know that if we put in the same amount of work and then a little bit more, we're going to have another opportunity."
GF closure for Nicoski
2:46:43 PM Thu 16 February, 2006
Justin Chadwick
Exclusive to afl.com.au
West Coast defender Mark Nicoski is looking forward to the upcoming season, eager to erase the pain from last year's four point grand final loss to Sydney.
The pacy left-footer was fantastic in the biggest game of the year, collecting 17 possessions and bobbing up for a vital goal.
"By the end of the grand final feeling so hollow, I sort of realised why that was and it was because of the amount of hard work that went into getting us there," he said before training on Wednesday.
"When you get to the Grand Final and you miss out by four points, you understand why everyone's so disappointed because it's a mighty effort to get there and it's an even bigger effort to win it."
"That's been burning in my stomach since last year and I can't speak for everyone, but I'm pretty sure for a lot of the guys it will still be in the back of their thoughts."
Nicoski said he has since watched a replay of the grand final, treating it as part of the closure process.
"The whole day and the whole week was such a big blur that I couldn't really remember it and I just wanted to watch it to see what sort of happened and what went right and what went wrong," he said.
"I know a couple of guys haven't bothered to put the tape in but for me it was more of a closure thing."
"It has happened now and I just wanted to watch it again to see areas that I could have improved on in my game and areas we could have improved on as a team."
After an excellent 2005 season in which he played 21 games including three finals, Nicoski believes he is ready to take another step forward and wants to cement himself into the squad.
"Hopefully I can offer the coaching staff what I offered last year plus some more," he said.
"We've got such a young and talented side that to be a part of it again for another full year would be fantastic."
"I've improved my strength and my weight gain out of sight in the three or four years I've been down here."
"They're all positives so I'm looking forward to the season."
Depths of despair

West Coast youngster Mark Nicoski has offered a rare insight into the emotional rollercoaster that Grand Final day presents to an AFL footballer.
The 21-year-old felt both dizzying highs and crushing lows on the day and he recalled running onto the MCG in front of nearly 92,000 fans with awe.
"I was living a childhood dream to be honest with you," Nicoski said after the match.
"I'm an Eagles supporter, I've grown up in W.A., so to be representing the club in a Grand Final (was) just an amazing feeling.
"It's like (the) Coliseum, there's just no words to describe it. The amount of people watching you - it's an amazing feeling and it's one that I hope I can get again."
The young midfielder also plumbed the depths of despair after his side fell agonisingly short of premiership success - losing a titanic struggle with Sydney by just four points.
"Numb is probably the best word to describe it," he said of how he felt after the final siren.
"Just seeing a group of guys so jovial and another group of guys so down - it's hard to comprehend what happened. I've been watching Grand Finals for 21 years now and I always used to wonder why the team that lost was so disappointed.
"Playing a full season of footy - it's my first full season of AFL footy - you understand how much work goes into getting into a Grand Final and I think that's probably the main reason why the team that loses is so disappointed.
"We've ended up finishing second, but we know that if we put in the same amount of work and then a little bit more, we're going to have another opportunity."
GF closure for Nicoski

Exclusive to afl.com.au
West Coast defender Mark Nicoski is looking forward to the upcoming season, eager to erase the pain from last year's four point grand final loss to Sydney.
The pacy left-footer was fantastic in the biggest game of the year, collecting 17 possessions and bobbing up for a vital goal.
"By the end of the grand final feeling so hollow, I sort of realised why that was and it was because of the amount of hard work that went into getting us there," he said before training on Wednesday.
"When you get to the Grand Final and you miss out by four points, you understand why everyone's so disappointed because it's a mighty effort to get there and it's an even bigger effort to win it."
"That's been burning in my stomach since last year and I can't speak for everyone, but I'm pretty sure for a lot of the guys it will still be in the back of their thoughts."
Nicoski said he has since watched a replay of the grand final, treating it as part of the closure process.
"The whole day and the whole week was such a big blur that I couldn't really remember it and I just wanted to watch it to see what sort of happened and what went right and what went wrong," he said.
"I know a couple of guys haven't bothered to put the tape in but for me it was more of a closure thing."
"It has happened now and I just wanted to watch it again to see areas that I could have improved on in my game and areas we could have improved on as a team."
After an excellent 2005 season in which he played 21 games including three finals, Nicoski believes he is ready to take another step forward and wants to cement himself into the squad.
"Hopefully I can offer the coaching staff what I offered last year plus some more," he said.
"We've got such a young and talented side that to be a part of it again for another full year would be fantastic."
"I've improved my strength and my weight gain out of sight in the three or four years I've been down here."
"They're all positives so I'm looking forward to the season."
Nicoski
Ok she told me she was joking! Plus I asked another girl for her opinion. Ok maybe most people don't go for the blonds.
Fair enough but someone did say he got nice eyes and that he got some fans lol. At least I am not alone. Lol.
Still though Adam Selwood got more fans.

Silly Girl
My friend called Mark Nicoski ugly.
That was uncalled for.
No need to attack my favourite player like that. Fair enough that Ben Cousins is more her type. I mean Ben was my favourite for nine years. But calling Mark Nicoski ugly is the lowest thing anyone could do. Is she saying I have bad taste? Just uncalled for.

Waters proves dangerous for Swans - and goldfish
Steve Butler
October 3, 2006
Amid the free-flowing beer for West Coast's premiership heroes at Steve's Hotel in the Perth suburb of Nedlands yesterday, the grand final marks became more spectacular, the goals were kicked from further out and there was the little case of Finding Nemo - or at least, Adam Hunter's goldfish.
As the celebrations for their first flag for 12 years continued, a sheepish Beau Waters admitted he had satisfied a late Sunday night snack attack by devouring Hunter's bowl swimmer.
Waters confessed to the crime and added that his fishy snack had been far from tasty.
Hunter had only a cryptic message in response to the crime against his goldfish.
"Right now, I'd like to say something inspirational, but that's not really me, so I'll just give you a line by Keanu Reeves in The Replacements," he said.
" 'Pain heals, chicks dig scars and glory lasts forever.' "

Beau Waters has apparently EATEN Adam Hunter's goldfish. But yeh, there's a whole article in the newspaper and apparently Beau was hungry and couldn't find anything to eat so he ate the goldfish. Lol. How random.

GF again!
Saturday will determine it.
Whether we are good at losing grand finals or good at sweet revenge.
So much here at stake. I can't bear the thought of us losing again and Sydney winning again. Last year it was us vs them and they took it out. Four points the difference. I ran out of the room trying not to cry in front of my friends. I calmed down when I told myself there's always next year.
This is it. The next year I thought of. I didn't think we'd be playing Sydney again though. I know Sydney started off slow but finals football is what they are good at.
So of course a part of me is scared. Terrified even. But I know my boys will do fine and I have confidence in them.
When it's all over. I will be alright. No more sleepless nights.
1994 was the last time WCE won a flag so it was 12 years ago. About time they win another one I would say.
Carn the Eagles!!
WA is with you all the way!!

WAFL
Had lunch at Nandos saw some people wearing red and white so I was like they must be Sydney supporters. Anyway then went to Sadie's then went to Subiaco Oval. The surprise was she's taking me to the WAFL Grand Final. Then my friend Jamie SMSd me telling me Mark Nicoski is playing for Subiaco so I got all excited. Anyway yeah Subiaco won. Oh then I realised South Fremantle's colours were red and white so those people I saw at Nandos they're not Sydney supporters but South Fremantle's supporters. Whoops. Oh Sadie got me pressies some WCE stuff awww so sweet but then she put some Dockers stuff as well how naughty. But I am happy today. I never been to a WAFL game before and to go to a Grand Final it's awesome and that my favourite player plays for the premiership team. Pretty cool. I hope Mark Nicoski will get to play for WCE in Grand Final next Saturday.

1994
It was a week before the Grand Final in 1994 and it was from the West Australian newspapers for those who wanted to wish the West Coast Eagles good luck. I remember writing one to my favourite player Shane Bond. LOL. I wonder if he kept it.
Wow it was twelve years ago. How time flew by just like the West Coast Eagles. Hehe get it flying. Ummm yeah ok.

How could they let me down like that. I mean one lousy point...arrggghhh how close is that....
Next week they will have to beat the winner of Collingwood/Bulldogs game. Otherwise the dream is over.
How humiliating. Losing at home to Sydney!!
Suddenly I remember why I hate Sydney so bad and why I called Sydney EVIL.
Well they are.
If you are from Sydney, I suggest you stay away from me.

Melbourne Pictures Again!!
Well I decided to post more pictures. I mean there's not much else I can do. Ok well I am chatting to a few people at the moment but hey girls are good at multi tasking. So yeah here's some more pictures of my Melbourne trip.
Me and Emma at Twelve Apostles. Apparently there's eleven now...no idea I didn't count it. Nice scenery but.
Me and Priskila outside an ice cream shop in Lygon Street. Lygon Street is full of Italian restaurants, cafes blah blah yes full of Azzuri supporters. Eeerky. Imagine the night of the World Cup final...the massive party they had.
Well that's all for now.

Melbourne Pics
Here's some pics from my Melbourne trip. There's heaps but I decided to just post a few. Don't want to flood my blog with pictures (even though I do it with WCE news).
Reyka and me at Starbucks. I had iced chocolate she had green tea. In Melbourne, Starbucks is everywhere. Since we don't have Starbucks in Perth, our first stop was to Starbucks.
Me and Sarah at the Convention. Near the stage. Isn't the stage so pretty? I thought so. My lapel card I decorated in Dockers colours but hey I am not responsible for Eagles' loss to Fremantle that day.
Reyka and me shopping at Chapel Street. It's good for retail therapy and splurging!! Every girl should be at Chapel Street I reckon!
Well you never know I might post more pictures soon.
