FIRST blog in my 18 years of life

Hi guys. First of all let me give a brief introduction of myself..

My name is Ng Junjie from Temasek Polytechnic.
I am 18 years old and currently I am studying Mobile and Wireless Computing.

This is the FIRST blog of my entire life and I must admit that I am quite new to all these stuff. Hopefully, at the end, I can make a good blog for UIR.

My hobbies are playing basketball, soccer, swimming, sleeping and playing computer games.

Enough said, now I am going to show you 2 of my favourite clips that I find it very funny and interesting.

Link No 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cpsK04lyWE

This is one of the clips i loved. It is about a soccer comedy and it shows out some of the "human errors" that can happen at the pitch. (Ps please do not try this at home XD)

Link No 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWcjbABKsDI

This is a scene whereby some japanese students have to sit down and listen to an Asian guy who will be speaking in English. It is definitely going to blow your brains off with those 10 10 10 10s!
