Liverpool vs Chelsea

Liverpool 2, Chelsea 0
Yet even more frustration for Chelsea fans.

"Heading into Christmas when Liverpool were 7 points clear of Manchester United and Chelsea 6, this match looked like a title decider; now both sides are fighting to simply stay in the top 3. The managers have shared kidney stone problems, and the pain of dropped points"

Chelsea's bad news started coming at the 60th min,
when Frank Lampard got sent off for a lunging tackle

"Lampard winning the ball and then caught Xabi Alonso..
..OH ITS A RED CARD! Straight red for Frank Lampard."

Liverpool's Steven Gerrard also attempted a similar tackle
earlier on.
It's just that Kalou evaded that tackle,
so Gerrard was not show any card at all.
Some things that human refereeing can't solve.

But Chelsea were still holding on,
with Mikel and Alex throwing their bodies in front of goal
to protect it,
and also due to the heroics of Petr Cech.

"Well he (Petr Cech) may have his critics this season for the way he has dealt with crosses but in terms of saving shots, he is still magnificent."

But despite all that,


Fernando Torres scores the goal at the 89th min.

Notice how clear this pic is compared to the others?
Its cuz they literally froze on their spots.
Poor Scolari and co.

So all Liverpool needed to do was hold on
and waste time for like 5 mins or so.

So Yossi Benayoun shields the ball
and keeps it away from anyone
at the corner of the field.
He's like, "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!"

Bosingwa had other ideas.
"Wong Fei Hung family style: Shadowless Kick!!"

And he walks away.
Drogba is like,"Erm...Okay..."
The whole world goes "WTF-mate?!?!"

The referee?

"Huh? Oh. Yea. No foul"

And before Chelsea could do anything else,
a minute later,


Torres scores his and Liverpool's second.
El Nino is back!

Collateral

Collateral is an awesome movie man.
too good.
TOOO good.
A+
Fantastic, the show was fanTAStic.
It was mindblaasting.
MINDBLAaASTING!

Alrite. Yea so the show was great.
Its an action thriller
but its one dats on a league of its own man..
Swear i couldnt take my eyes off my small tv screen.

Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx were just too great.

Im rather late, but here goes,
Happy Lunar New Year!
(to anyone who wants to accept this wish)

4 days of holidays.
4 days of supposed studying and revision.
4 days totally wasted.

Well at least i played soccer, did some shopping,
and helped plan this year's Annual Camp further.

Can see that certain people are putting
in lots of effort in planning a hell of a camp.
I'll do wadever i can to help.
But its just so sad that i wont be able to attend it.

Annual Camp was always fun.
Cadet, NCO, old boy.
In all 3 perspectives i've found AC fun and beneficial.

As a cadet it was that overflowing sense of team spirit.
Always looking out for each other and reminding
one another of the right thing to do
so we dont get our hands on the ground.
(in which most cases we usually do)
It was also about never knowing wad was gonna happen next.
The excitement of it all..

As an NCO it was really very stressful and tiring.
But it was a bigger learning experience than anything in the world.
You learn more about ur cadets, your own platoon mates
and of course yourself.
At the end of the camp u feel the great sense of satisfaction.
It a great feeling;
everyone doing their jobs so that the camp
would run efficiently.

As an old boy it was the freedom.
You could do anything. (responsibly)
Of course you dont interfere with cadet-NCO matters.
You could be anywhere.
Interacting with the new faces,
helping to coordinate activities,
or maybe even help them cook lunch and dinner
for close to a 100 people.
How can that not be fun?

Men working together.
People helping people.
Esprit de Corps

Just too bad that im gonna have to sit out on the coming one.

In other news, i finally went about downloading
Death Cab for Cutie's Narrow Stairs
and The Academy Is...'s Fast Times at Barrington High.




Great albums, both of em

Man Utd tops the table!!
(purely for Ling Zhen's entertainment)

Konchesky scored a goal dat would have made me
scream if i were watching it live.
Defoe and Nugent scored great goals too.

Well wadever;
today scored 3 as Futsal training FINALLY resumes.
Been 3 weeks since i even touched a soccer ball.
Far too long.

So naturally after 3 weeks of slacking,
pulled both leg's hamstrings
and cant walk properly now.

Im pondering on whether i should take up a Diploma Plus.

If take it, i'd get
"Increased employability"
"Possible module exemptions in Uni"
"Broaden my knowledge"
As to wad extent all this is true, i do not know.

Cuz if it is not then id rather not take it.
So i have THAT much time to focus on my core modules.
Thn again, an elective will be just an extra 3 hours
every week. But all in one day,
so it WILL feel hectic.
Plus i needa continue doing it for 3 more semesters.

Then if i DO take it,
i still needa decide which cluster i wan to take up.

Math cluster
- for Uni
- its maths. ADVANCED maths

Electrical engineering cluster
- directly related to my course
-increase employability
- dun wanna do anymore of those calculations

Arts cluster
- something different so might be interesting
- heard it's simple
- no link to wad im learning

Business cluster
- already completing one elective from this (econs)
- business got some kind of unique appeal
- heard its hectic

Decisions decisions.
When it comes to decisions like these,
i'm so fickle-minded.

Anybody has an opinion, please aid me.

Man Utd 3 Chelsea 0

Today was a f***ing good day la.

At 2am Man Utd defeated Chelsea 3 - 0.
Thats why. Haha.
Its not just a win u know,
its THREE goals to NIL.
Im sorry if im rubbing salt to Chelsea fans' wounds
but i cant help but express my feelings.
(Hope Jaarvis doesnt read this)

I like how the commentator started the game.

"Take the initiative today, and you could take the title in May... A fixture that has always been ladened with significance. Manchester United vs Chelsea has sometimes been beguiling, occasionally its been dull, but in recent years, its never, never been just another game"

Very well said. And it can only be true.
In the old days it was always Man Utd vs Liverpool.
Thn when we entered the Premier League era in mid 90's,
we saw the rise of Arsene Wenger's Arsenal
and so it became Man Utd vs Arsenal.
But now, the biggest rivalry in English football can only be one,
Man Utd vs Chelsea.

Ronaldo had a goal disallowed which made me furious.
But just a minute after that,

Vidic scores the goal!!!

I really hope he maintains his centre back goal scoring form.

Didier Drogba saw the funny side of things
after his shot went horribly wide, even going out for a throw in.
He was such in bad shape, im nt even sure if it was him playing.


Cristiano Ronaldo (fresh from his Ferrari car crash),
does the Robot.
"Domo Arigato Mister Ro-bot-to"

I kid.
He's just waiting for the right time to slip a pass through to Evra.

See?
A smart overlapping run by Patrice Evra,
resulting in a cross into the box,

which results into a..?

GOAAALLLL!!!!!!

How do you tap the ball in when
the defender is in front of you getting to the ball first?

U kick it in between his legs.

Such is the desire of Wayne Rooney to score a goal.
Mostly luck la.

And in the dying minutes of the game,

Ronaldo prepares to take a free kick.

And the ball is in the Chelsea net once again.

This time it is Dimitar Berbatov who takes the initiative.

A wonderful game
for any Manchester United fan.

Notice the guy behind Sir Alex?
The one holding the blue beanie in his hands.
Probably a Chelsea fan who grabs his friend's
blue (obviously Chelsea) beanie
and pretendedly attempts to throw it away.
That pretty much sums up how Chelsea fans are feeling now.

But i know passionate fans will always stay by their teams' side.

Happy New Year everyone!!
feels weird to be celebrating a new year
when the academic year is not done yet.

Well ytday was the first time i ever celebrated
new year outside of my home.

Started off with watching Ip Man.
I went into the cinema with the following opinions:
1) Ip Man is imbal
2) Japanese General noob
3) The movie is better than Huo Yuanjia
This is according to several blogs and reports.

I couldnt agree more on no.1
Like seriously, it was the most one sided movie
i have ever seen.
The ending fight was also the most one sided one
i have ever seen.
Like throughout the course of the whole movie,
what kind of injury did we see him get?

Well, first of all he got bruised knuckles;
but only because he whacked the shit out of
10 and more Japanese Soldiers.
(which is btw, my fav scene)



And at the ending fight, he did get hit twice (TWICE)
and had a bruise at his cheek or sth.

That's all, you know...

He was like a one man army or sth.
Even Rambo almost dies on his lone missions la..

I quote Mr Abraham Joseph:-
"Have u ever watched Rambo?
One person take on the whole army..
BULLSHIT!!.."

Well thn again, it IS a portrayal of a Grandmaster.
So all's well and end's well.
Come to think of it, Huo Yuanjia was also kind of one sided.
Its just that he got poisoned at the end and died.
Its kind of like in contrast to those Hollywood movies
in which the hero starts off as a nothing,
then trains and becomes a something.
So this might be the reason why im overreacting
to the imbalness ( > 9000) that is Eep Mun.

Well, for opinion no.2,
Cant really agree cuz the general actually is,
no matter how you see it,
a formidable fighter.
Its just so sad that his opponent was OVER 9000.



And opinion no.3,
I cant agree at all.
Given the tenfold size of the screen,
plus the surround sound,
Ip Man didnt fail to mesmerise,
but at the same time, wasn't as great a movie to me,
as Huo Yuanjia which i watched at home.
Maybe Huo Yuanjia was more realistic.
Its all about expectations you see..
I just like both movies because they pit style on style.
Chinese vs Japanese.
Like how often have we seen that?





Nothing like Bruce Lee speaking French..


Well, the portrayals are usually inaccurate.

Oh and about wad we did after that,
we watched fireworks
thn travelled to Changi Airport
and slacked there by playing card games.

Conclusion:-
Im so hyped about Ip Man and Wing Chun rite now
that i forgot this was supposed to be a New Year post.

Forgive me for being too much of a
martial arts movie enthusiast.

That minute Vietnam took
to score the goal against Singapore
was probably the worst minute of my life in years.
The agony of it all...
What a heartbreak.
In front of a full capacity crowd,
our national team fell prey to the Vietnamese.

However, as huge as the loss was,
i dun think hooliganism was necessary.
There was a big crowd and commotion at
the East Entrance when we were leaving.
Didnt really bother what it was about.
Then, at the overhead bridge,
i saw what looked like a person on the ground,
with ppl attending to his supposed injuries.

Then only just now i read at RedSports,
what happened a the East Entrance was that
Vietnamese supporters were being beaten up
by Singaporean sore losers;
their flags taken away from them,
burnt as if it was a heroic display.

At the bridge was probably a bloodied
Vietnamese already beaten up.

Its really not a good thing for this to happen.
Its really got nothing to do with
passion for football nor nation.
(Shout vulgarities can alr rite?)
No need to go injuring others.

Sorry to all the Vietnamese ppl who got involved k?
:D:D:D

computers, hard rock

Computers are such troublesome stuff.
I have lotsa games i wanna play rite now.
Initially, i didnt have enough space on my desktop,
now i have a shit load of space.
160 GB to be exact.
Yet i realise my graphics card is faulty
so now my com cant support most games.

Configuring my CPU by myself was a cool thing
especially with me communicating with Seroyen
on the webcam and mic over MSN,
him giving me instructions on what to do.
Felt like some complicated mission or sth.
Maybe i should have worked these holidays.
Then i'd have enough money to buy me
Total 90/Mercurial Vapor/Predator
and a new Graphics Card.

In other news, ive been dreaming of ridiculous stuff
for the past few days,
in contrast to the realistic ones i've been having.
Good thing. I dun wanna be growing up too fast.
Ridiculous dreams are always fun.
Except for the parts you start randomly falling down.

Been listening to music from the 70's and 80's.
An era where Hard Rock and Heavy Metal ruled.
Watching School of Rock introduced me to some
very catchy tunes and guitar riffs;
those that you've heard b4 but nvr really acknowledged.



In order of appearance (or wadever):-
Iron Man - Black Sabbath
Smoke on the Water - Deep Purple
Highway to Hell - AC/DC

the piano/keyboard onwards i dunno alr.

And here's their finale song.



Totally makes me wanna be a part of a band.
Sadly playing music instruments isn't really my forte.
Give me a ball, i'll juggle it for you.

Expect a music-based post coming soon.



(not so soon)

Would have loved to see Singapore win
the game just now but we'll all
have to make do with a goalless draw.
Hopefully things will be much better on Sunday
over here in Singapore.

Redsports had live reports while the game was on,
and the guest pundit was Aleksandar Duric who
is currently injured and nt able to play for SG.
Had a rather interesting time chatting with him
and other Singapore supporters.

He claimed that he switched his channel from ESPN
to Channel 5, and then Singapore had a goal (which
was eventually disallowed due to offside).
So he went on to switch back from 5 to ESPN
to see whether Singapore would get another goal.
He added a "lol" behind.

Seems like a cool guy to me.
For a 38 year old guy like him.
Thn again, who am i to decide who gets to be savvy..

A day ago i read Singapore has slight chance
of being hit by tsunami.
Apparently, chances are really very low.
Alarmed me abit since i live at the extreme south.
Thinking again, i guess im protected by the huge
chunk of land protecting my house,
that is Mt Faber.

In other news,
a tree on Mt Faber fell today
and it now blocks my view of the beautiful,
gigantic lighted Xmas tree Mt Faber has on it.
It is reportedly the durian tree,
so that yellow cab driver uncle has no
durian to go hunting for anymore.

What a long week..
With common tests over,
i'm finally able to spend time with my
one and only love,
Football..
And besides that i can also go back to GESS
to see see look look NCC training :D

"Section 1 ready?! Section 1 charge!!!!"

"ENEMY CONTACTED! EVERYONE GET TO
YOUR POSITIONS!!!"

"Help!!! SOMEBODY HELP ME!!"

Are just some phrases im gonna be hearing
over and over again.
Gotta love Mock Attack..

Oh but before i resume playing soccer
i needa get my secret love affair with Ventolin
over and done with..

Oh Ventolin, i need you so much,
but i have to move on now..

On a completely unrelated note,
I do NOT think Singapore will win the cup this year.
Thailand's WAYY too strong.
So Lions, prove me wrong baby..

Lotsa things to do in this 3 week break actually..
ROP remains main priority.



duty calls;
time to return to the alma mater.

K, i totally regret not watching
Everton vs Aston Villa yesterday,
which ended up to be a 5 goal thriller.
Sidwell opened the accounts for Villa in the 34th second -.-
with a scorcher of a goal,
thn when it was 2 - 1 in injury time, Lescott seemed to
save a point for Everton with a bicycle kick equaliser.
And then AGAIN, in injury time,
Ashley Young won the game for Villa.

omgomgomgomgomg

Like the perfect match jigehzz...
On the bright side, Singapore are through
to semi finals of Suzuki (ASEAN) Cup! ^^

Anyway, we're back to the day when lamb's
get slaughtered again;
that's right, Hari Raya Haji.
I'm not badmouthing the event, really,
cuz the slaughtering holds much religious significance.
Something that i myself dun quite understand,
but thats just because im dumb and ignorant..

EDIT: it seems like my attempt to calefare
yesterday at my mosque failed.
Ppl from the Malay news at 8 were there
taking shots and it seems like they didnt show
the one with a particular boy in purple walking
past and sneezing.

It seems as though every Hari Raya i feel like shit
cuz i start to reflect on what ive done in my life
as a Muslim so far.
Well, almost nothing.
Certainly hope i'll get there one day.

Cant really enjoy Hari Raya today
since Common Tests start tmr.
Man, they've really been a hindrance
for the festive season.
Thn again, its just Common Test.
(but why do i feel so worried?)
Papers til Thursday, cant possibly look forward
to that can I?

Alright, i'll be wasting my day away now thn..

Last night i had a nocturnal emission leg cramp.
Which was needless to say, f***ing painful.
I didnt even tire myself out for the past few days,
been drinking lots of water since i have a sore throat,
plus i eat bananas everyday.
And yet i still get leg cramps.
TWICE.

Cramped, woke up, slept, cramped.
Each lasted 30 seconds?

Im just glad it was a cramp
instead of those weird phenomena
whereby u wake up and cant move,
and u see some black figures in front of ur face,
looking at you.

Been reading up on different types of ghosts
and watching scary vids.
Hope this doesnt get to me anytime during my sleep.



YouTube101:-

- Always check the ratings of the video
1 or 2 stars probably mean its a screamer, or just plain stupid.

- If ratings are disabled, read the comments.
If u start seeing insults to the uploaders grandparents,
it means its a screamer, or just plain stupid.

- If u still wanna see it, make damn sure
you turn down ur volume.

Just making sure none of you end up like
the poor kid over here.
Although it probably already has happened to you.

So this morning i decided i was too sick
to go to school.
Going to chalet means that i would be eating
oily bbq food and drinking truckloads of gassy drinks.
And that was what i exactly did in the weekend
Apparently, whenever i do so, i fall sick.

Yes, i have become that weak.
;_;

Laying in bed all day, i had a long reminiscence
on secondary school life,
especially the 2D moments,
since an additional 2 ppl from 2D
have departed for overseas studies,
making it a total of 5.

I was random enuff to realise that 2D has the letter "D",
which stands for "Departure",
explaining the set of events that took place
over the past year.
Thn again, i was just being random.

Back to recalling the past,
some questions sort of occurred to me.
Why did those school days seem so free,
When actually Poly has a more flexible timetable..
Damn it, why?

Got Common Tests next week.
I dun think i'll be able to squeeze through this time round.
But in order to get a slight dose of optimism,
i quote Mun Wah's PM and a rather widely used quote
in secondary school,

"Common Test only.."

Good news is, Man Utd won, and Chelsea lost..

Paul Twohill

Today i played soccer with Paul Twohill.
I scored a goal against his team.

I also whacked the ball which hit his face
causing all his teeth to drop.
Just kidding.

Well, his appearance at the court was rather random.
Considering he was in skinny jeans and all.
But hey, he have me something to blog about.

I realised something from the past few weeks
or possibly months.
My dreams kind of make sense now.
Did i blog about this already?
Sometimes they STILL dont make sense
but right now, what i dream about is
very relevant to the problems/issues/difficulties/doubts
that i'm facing.
They could also be about positive things though.
It catches my attention so much
since i usually dream about pointless stuff.

I'm currently addicted to this song.
SUPER catchy..

I love the mountains,
i love the clear blue skies,
i love big bridges,
i love when great whites fly..

I love the whole world,
and all its sights and sounds,
Boom De Yada Boom De Yada Boom De Yada Boom De Yada

I love the ocean,
i love real dirty things,
i love to go fast,
i love Egyptian kings..

I love the whole world,
and all its craziness,
Boom De Yada Boom De Yada Boom De Yada Boom De Yada

I love tornadoes,
i love arachnids,
i love hot magma,
i love the giant squids..

I love the whole world,
it's such a brilliant place,
Boom De Yada Boom De Yada Boom De Yada Boom De Yada

Really reminds you how beautiful the world is.
Also reminds you how we're destroying it..

YES WE CAN - Obama wins

Seriously ah,
Obama REALLY knows to to speak well.
I hvnt rly been following the US presidential elections
THAT much.
But all the way over here in Singapore,
i watch his acceptance speech on the internet,
and i can FEEL the impact of Obama's words.
Probably one of the best black speakers
after Martin Luther King, Jr.
Malcolm X,
Mohamed Ali,
and Samuel L Jackson.
(i kid on the last part)

"That's it! I've had enough of these motherfuckin snakes,
on these motherfuckin plane!"
- Samuel L Jackson, in Snakes in a Plane.

come on, this quote deserves some praise..

But anyway, here's Obama's acceptance speech.
Damn nice la ;_;



I couldnt embed the more inspiring version.
The one with better camera angles and footage.
But its HERE. (scroll down)

I think like 10 out of 10 young adults like us
in Singapore have been rooting for Obama..

I also dunno why.
Its as if it came naturally.

Hopefully he will be THE man in history
to CHANGE America.
And as everybody knows,
changing America = changing the world.
(but dun ask me why)

Im really dumb when it comes to politics.
(thn again im dumb at almost anything)

But i really hope Obama will do a great job.

For change that we need..
Change that we can believe in..

YES WE CAN.

(this tagline of his may end up being as famous
as "I have a dream")

oh, and those who were wondering wad the NATO
in my PM means,
its No Action, Talk Only.

NP@45 Party was super cool.

The emcee for the beginning part, one of em
was the botak head emcee we had
for our Grad Night last year (GESS).

Speaking of Grad Night, seems like this year's
will be at the same place too.
Not dat it matters us.

K so other thn the party being uber cool and all,
today i had Indonesian Grilled Chicken Rice
which was super duper awesome.
And i realise i tend to overrate or exaggerate
things these days.

Yozakura Quartet has this sister,

who wields two swords..

who slices cars thrown at her in half,

and is uber cool.



Meanwhile in Ga Rei Zero...

2 girls are fighting for the last stick of Pocky.
What could possibly go wrong?
