K, last minute decided that
i cant be missing out on the chance to catch Ronaldinho
and several other stars in action, live.
So i got the 30 bucks tickets and watched it with
the usuals.

There was lots of Brazilian skills.
And ive never seen sum1 dribble the ball
with such a fast pace before, until just now.
So to me it was worth it.

Exams are nearing,
so im trying hard not to distract myself too much.

As with anything popular,
here's the parody on
Where The Hell Is Matt.

Its called, Where The Hell Is Matt's Girlfriend



and on a completely random note,



that will be all

Where The Hell Is Matt?

Theres this video on YouTube called
Where The Hell is Matt?

I noticed it was pretty popular quite some time ago
but nvr really bothered to watch it.
I wonder why.

Anyway, he (Matt) released a new video.
A 2008 version of his "dancing" around the world.

Yes. Matt travels the world,
and everywhere he goes,
he would take a video of himself dancing
at exotic and interesting places.
He would thn compile all of them into a video.

Before this whole venture,
he was a game developer,
whom after being told to create the game
"Kill All Humans",
he refused and quit his job,
simply stating,
"I wasnt going to create a game
of killing the human race"

*manly salute*

He thn proceeded to use all the money he earned
during his stint as a game developer
and traveled Asia.
He created his first video.

It was a huge success.
Stride Gum called him.

"How would you like to travel and make more videos for us"

"Will you pay for it?"

"Yes"

And thus he has now created 2 more videos.
The concept is simple.
Yet its great to watch

i shall link you to it instead of embedding
so you can go over to youtube and click on the

"watch in high quality"
option just below the video.
thn use full screen.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlfKdbWwruY

some things to look our for: -

- Demilitarised Zone, Korea
- Nellis Air Space, Nevada
- Singapore.

I recall there being Area 51 in one of his videos.
Area 51 is a real place btw.
We just dont know what goes on over there.

14th of July

Today is the 14th of July.
An insignificant day to all.
Except for GESS NCC Intake 04.
It's Independence Day to us.

History:
On this day, 2 years ago,
For the first time ever we boycotted training.
It was some sort of a planned thing.
Though i think 8 out of 23 of us
were against the idea and reported anyway.

Where was I?
At home the whole day on MC.
Hehehe. So guys u cant say i "pon" training.
My 100% record prevails.
Still, somehow, boycotting the training
was wad motivated me to take an MC.

Why did we do this?
We finally realised that enough was enough.
After being mistreated and punished
unreasonably by the then NCOs
for the previous few trainings in a row,
having a platoon mate cry while being punished
and still being bombarded by questions by the NCOs,
having our precious berets confiscated from us,
made to wear the stupid mock zero,
(army boots plus pe shirt and shorts),
all this is part of the process of being "tekan".

Its a very controversial thing really.
Its bad yet its good.
Its good yet its bad.
Dats the overall viewpoint of it.
But to me it was always more of bad.
I think u can count how many times
i actually said "knock it down" in my time as NCO,
let alone how many times i actually made
them carry on to do push ups.
How can punishing without any reason,
breaking one down to his limits,
demoralising him to extreme extents be good?
How does that help?

It only makes the cadet hate the NCO
and this cadet-NCO tension is never good for the unit,
as i have seen.

It was a good thing that the Intake 04
and Intake 03 rivalry didnt turn sour.
It almost did or rather already had on the 14th of July.
But by then both sides realised their mistakes.
And there was never really much tension between us.

But looking at cadets and NCOs nowadays,
cadets seem to give this "want to fight" kind of face,
increasingly often when they get punished,
even if its just abit.
(this is especially so among the sec 3s or even 2s,
as the age gap between them an NCOs
is not that much)
And as for the NCOs, more often than not,
they dont show a good example.
How do you expect the cadet to "face it like a man"
when they have absolutely no respect for you.

"Rebelling" often comes to mind nowadays.
And as stated, its both parties' fault.
No matter wad the pros are, tekan is definitely
not accepted by newer generations of cadets.
You can say ppl are getting more pampered.
But i think the true reason is what i've mentioned above.

What are the pros of tekan u might be wondering?
I gotta admit tekan played a huge part in bonding
Intake 04 together.
I think in terms of togetherness and unity,
we are exemplary.
But considering how cadets accept punishment nowadays,
i think its better for us to use other methods
to gel ppl together.
There are many. Push ups isnt the only way.
Of course, whenever we go to some random place
like KFC, Mac, kopitiam or a coffee shop to talk cock
about days of the past,
tekan always comes first.
What memories they bring.

I remember in Sec 1,
when we were stupid and naive,
the antiques of Private Chng Bin Hong Bryan,
always led us into trouble.
We got fucked day in day out on dat camp.
Everytime we entered our bunks,
we were on all fours rather than on our feet.

Sec 2 annual camp
is the major talking point for tekan, really.
Forced to fall in when ur busy bathing,
not once, not twice, but thrice.
Immediately after that,
we got powder bathed in our bunks,
which made the floor slippery
and so whenever we fidget in push up position
due to the powder on the floor,
we got fucked even more.
(rhymes)

Sec 3, well.
It was okay.
We expected it.
It came.
We faced it.
It was over.
One thing i remember more prominently was
how Mun Wah fell down outside the classroom
cuz he was in a hurry. Haha.

K i think i digressed too much.
The point is,
14th of July happened because of tekan.
Intake 04 does not support tekan.
We did not tekan in our reign as NCOs.
I guess what really made 14 July so impt
is that it was the day we stood for our rights and ideals.
Dun get me wrong though.
If any cadets are reading this and start to formulate
funny ideas,
well, lets just say u guys wont escape so easily from it.
I doubt any of them know of this blog though.
I'm actually taking a big risk
posting about this topic in the first place.





U know its perfectly okay,
if u just scrolled down to this paragraph
cuz ur lazy to read.
I hate lengthy posts myself.
I just need to post this so next time i can look back and read.

That's all for today then.
My streak of losses still continue.
Though today i managed to score 2 goals

and conceded 10+++

ronaldo moves to tampines rovers


Im at my worst form yet this year.
The previous 3 futsal trainings had been disappointing for me.
Few wins, many losses,
almost no goals.

That, plus my failure to bring on any impact
on a field match that we lost 3 - 2
on Saturday.
CM, isnt my best position,
but i at least thought i could do a thing or two
from there.
Guess not.
Thn when i played up front,
3 serious chances of scoring,
all wasted away.

The tackles arent working,
the passes arent going through,
the shots arent going in.
Desparately need to get back to wherever i was,
sometime ago.

Yet if i focus too much on that,
i'll be compromising on my modules.
Fyi, i didnt score well.

Oh well, great players come through
no matter wad the circumstances are
With a touch from above,
i'll work everything out.

Btw, did you know Cristiano Ronaldo
is not going to Real Madrid anymore?
Neither is he staying at Man Utd.
Where could he possibly be going??


dont see anything strange?
hint: see content

HAHA

they even went so far as to editing
Tampines Rovers' line up of current players..

I think u get banned from wiki for fooling around
like this.
I nvr wanna be banned from wiki so i'll
nvr try and mess with the info.
But i gotta admit this is rather funny.

Saturday, July 05, 2008

Ok before ppl go saying things like
"Oi update la"
or "Lol this blog is dead"
I will post though it might nt interest the most of you here.

Every1's getting hyped up for tmr's match.
Its always like that for every match actually.
But yea, every match is different so theres
an correspondingly different kind of feeling.

I just tot i needed to do some pre-match
reflection on the team's progress so far.

I think we've grown together quite abit
for the past half a year or so.
Though not yet formidable,
maybe its fair to say that we can be seen
as a decent team.

We definitely got the ability.
Well actually everybody else has.
But wad separates the best from the rest
is the work rate, coordination and composure.
Things we still need to learn.
I guess the best way to do so is
to play more matches and at the same time,
realise our strengths and weaknesses.

I've been givin a 100% every futsal training.
The difference might be small, but it counts.
I hope the effects will show on the field.
At any rate, i hope i can go box to box
without having to limp out of the field
with a leg cramp...

Other thn that,
Muneer has to step up cuz we all know he can.
Chi Jie has to put forth wadever he has learnt with ACJC,
Rahim has to run tirelessly for 90 mins,
Jing Kai has to send in the killer crosses,
Setiawan and Benny play safe,
Wai Leong and Phelan focus on defending first,
thn think about attack.
Guo Sheng show a safe pair of hands can alr.

As for our replacement striker Jaarvis,
well, you just need to make your shots count.
I dun see us losing if every1 is playing their
roles properly.

Should we fail, let it be due to lack of ability.
Not lack of effort.


Monday, June 30, 2008

I honestly dont believe wad i just did.
(or rather wad i just did not do)

I woke up at 6am.
Seems normal enough.
But i wasnt supposed to wake up that LATE.

WADEVER HAPPENED TO WATCHING THE
EURO FINALS!!!

OH MY GOD.

OF ALL THE MATCHES I CAN POSSIBLY MISS,

I MISSED THE FINALS.

i wasnt even tired.
i dunno why the heck
i slept thru the alarm.
was there even an alarm?

Spain vs Germany.
Spain won 1 - 0.
Luckily only one goal.

If it had been a 5 goal thriller,
who knows wad i wud have done to myself this morning.
(nothing)

Still, it wud feel damn shitty.
Guess its over now,
and i have a presentation to make in a few mins.

Friday, June 20, 2008

Okay, i wanted to watch so much anime this holiday,
but i was too occupied with soccer and NCC the first week
which leaves me with time only to catch up with
the ongoing series ToLOVE Ru and rewatch
the whole series of Death Note.

yes people.
Death Note.
I'm rewatching it.
again.

Its simply a classic.
"In a league of its own", according to Cheng Yu.

I fear ive waited too long to actually blog and review
on this year's LDC,
so i wont.

If ur wondering what else i've been doing,
i've practically been watching anime until i doze off
in front of the monitor,
then procede to use my remaining ounce of energy
to switch the com off and sleep.
This is during the day.

I'm up whole night/morning
from 8pm all the way to 4am +/-
Watching EURO 2008,
which has been highly entertaining.

Holland's lightning quick counter attacks,
Russia's crisp and precise passing,
Germany's range of passing and fluid play,
Turkey's remarkable comeback,
Croatia's apparent rise in the international stage,
and finally Spain's chance to break the quarter final jinx.

Theres so much to look out for.
Of course, one more thing to add is how Italy will perform
having qualified for the quarters despite lacklustre performances.

I cant imagine any football fan missing out
on what's happening right now.

Anyway, school's reopening,
and i dont get the feel that i'll be able to blog anything
interesting in the near future.
So like what most ppl do,
i shall turn your attention to someplace else.

The phenomena called YOUTUBE



Josh introduced me to this.

Hiyouk hiyouk hiyouk~

i think if i were there i wud really be on the floor
laughing and grabbing onto my stomach.
Never laughed so much since Muneer's leg cramp at Chong Pang
that, ladies and gentlemen,
is another story.

ECPRO



This one day in ECPRO...
(Engineering, A Creative Profession)
yep dats the module's name.

We were given a toolkit.

Which had the following items.

The ppl you see here are my classmates btw.

and pardon me for unintentionally
giving the Haziq face.
i just found it funny to be messing with my laptop's webcam.

"Hi!!"

So you start with many parts,

And with highly sophisticated mathematical calculations

and some brilliant engineering,

You get a small robot car!

And guess wad?
It actually looks good with my mouse on top of it.

This is the small wheel version.

Dun play play, cuz my car was fast and had a good torque!!
(secret: i used my own new batteries)
(but maybe the whole class also did so)
(you sneaky bastards)

and with that being done,
I shall now be on a 5 day hiatus.

anybody who wants to find me can do so back at GESS.
and Pulau Ubin.

And so the Free Hugs campaign continues around the world,
this time Ecuador.



i believe this was done recently.
Singapore had one last year i think.
But none of it was made into a video like this.
Amazing that this campaign started with just one man,
who wanted to make a difference,
and bring some love and happiness into lives of strangers
he see on the streets.

It began in Australia,
and has since been done in many other places.

Here's the original version

its far more inspiring to watch.

Anyway, today played another match.
And won 3 - 0.
But 2nd half was cut short by half since
we there was no time left.
Blame the previous 2 teams for ending late.

Overall performance for the match was pretty good.
But i just cant get rid of one problem,
which is leg cramps.
Maybe my body just cant last the full 90 minutes.
But i'll work on that.
I hope.

Should have directed my half volley lower...

Btw, EURO 2008 has been quite entertaining,
esp the previous match whereby
Netherlands trashed Italy 3 - 0.
wadye know, same score.
Stellar performance from the Oranje.

I'm highly anticipating Spain vs Russia later.
Partly because of Fernando Torres.

End of Week 8 in Ngee Ann Poly.
With that, i'm a quarter way through year 1.
Too fast? Too slow?
I'd say slightly leaning to the fast side.

On my way to school yesterday,
on the bus, i saw some ppl in another bus,
a transport bus for probably foreign workers,
with the passengers all standing up, tip toeing,
getting off their seat,
going out of their way just to get a glimpse of something.
They were damn excited,
just like kindergarten kids in a school bus.

I looked towards the direction they were looking,
and a striking beauty stood before me (lol haruhi).
Okay la, not so striking, and it was actually
a few meters away.

Bet ur wondering what it is.
It was actually a black lamborghini.
One look and you would go "Wow".
It wasnt as striking as the orange one i usually see,
but this one was damn cool la.
The shape is slightly different,
and at the hind of the car,
the top was transparent so you could see
the engine and stuff inside the car.

Coincidentally, this happened really very near
the spot where i will see the orange lamborghini,
parked at the exact same place almost everyday.

So yea a little bit of my time in dat bus
was spent fantasizing on these expensive cars.
Though for like 8 weeks i see that orange one
time and time and again,
it still doesnt fail to catch my attention.

On to the common tests,
well tests are definitely different here in poly,
in a sense, they actually feel like major exams.
You do it in a hall with lots of ppl,
you're supposed to bring ur student ID,
and stuff like dat.

Not the usual separate ur tables and do ur papers
but in secret i'll copy your's kind of test
i got used to in sec sch.
Ok la i didnt cheat all the time.
Seriously.

So the bad thing about this is dat
im gonna have to face "exams" 4 times a "year"
instead of the usual 2,
since common tests really does feel like major exams.
And these exams are like gonna happen once every 8 weeks?

The good news for now is that
i'm finally having holidays now.
All the way til the 22nd of this month.
Not much of a holiday,
but i guess its a good break.
A break dat will be spent on football,
NCC, football and football.






I will not study.

Friday, May 30, 2008

Its 10.30am and I'm still at home!
Computer Programming is cancelled today
so i only have to attend classes fro 2pm to 5pm.
Possibly 4.30pm if i do my practical quickly.

Now if only every schooling day was like this.
Full 8 hours of sleep.
Time to use the computer like this b4 school.
And be 100% fresh when u step out of the house
to head for school.

Well, maybe abit of dat will happen in Year 2?
but for now its just wishful thinking.
Plus, common tests are next week.
3 papers so i have to really mug
through the weekend.

Angels and Airwaves and 5 - 3 victory

Won a soccer match today with the score of 5 - 3.
I didnt score but quite glad that we managed
to pick ourselves up from being down
1 - 3
to making it
5 - 3.
Gratz to those who score.

Moving on,




This is
Angels and Airwaves (AVA).
The song is titled
Secret Crowds.

Personally, i think the band has a great and
unique sound,
and they might just turn out become one of my
favorite bands.
But apparently,
Blink 182 fans are not liking wad they see in AVA.

If you listen to
AVA, you will realise that other
than the familiar voice of
Tom DeLonge (of Blink 182 fame),
the band's music is not at all similar to
Blink 182's.

Back in
Blink 182, they used to write songs
that have a very noticeable touch of
pop/punk rock.
Their songs were fun and their lyrics were catchy,
appealing to many
young listeners.

They even made fun of other music artistes,
like when they did their
"All The Small Things" video.

But now, having created
AVA,
Tom has changed his style alot.
Even the way he appears in videos and performances,
he is nothing like the
Tom every1 used to love.
His much more
serious now.
So people are labeling him as a
sell-out,
becoming something that he once mocked.

Of course, not everybody hates
AVA.
I think Tom reached a part of his life where he felt
that he needed to move on.

He is
married, with kids.
You cant imagine a man like that
singing to the tune and lyrics of
"
Damnit" and "What's My Age Again".
I think the sound of
AVA is just right for him.

So yea, the music industry can be quite
harsh.
But fortunately for
AVA, they've managed to attract
quite a following.

But not as much as how
My Chemical Romance
has gained
worldwide popularity
after they "sold" their
post hardcore sound,
to turn into a very much
alternative rock band.
Their early fans totally hate them now.
But look at what they've gained.

Well i dunno why i'm blogging about music.

But can you imagine life without music?

Man Utd - Champions of Europe

MANCHESTER UNITED
ARE THE

CHAMPIONS

OF

EUROPE!!!

it was a great match
that both teams dragged all the way to penalties.
Thrilling to the very end.
Honestly i tot it was all over when Ronaldo missed
his penalty.

I was on my knees thereafter.

I was never a fan of those who stop or stall
before they take their penalty.
I think the best kind of penalty
is the ones that is taken straight up, directly,
with confidence,
without any feints whatsoever.
Unfortunately Ronaldo didnt think so.
And his technique failed him in the most crucial of all matches.

Again, Ronaldo got lucky
(after missing once already at Barcelona)
cuz his teammates after him,
Hargreaves, Nani, Anderson all kept them alive.
Of course, with the help of John Terry's miss.


I really feel John Terry didnt deserve it.
He's probably one of the most influencial captains
and one of the best defenders England has seen.
Having brought his team all the way through a season
full of injuries and unsettled players and staff,
it all came down to just one kick from the penalty spot.

He slipped and he missed.

Cant imagine how he was feeling.

Van der Sar, on the other hand
became the hero of the day
as he saved Nicolas Anelka's penalty shot.

I gotta admit, luck was a huge part of this victory.
But why wud a Man Utd fan complain?
After 9 years, the Cup is returning to Old Trafford.
And Fergie hails one of the best Devils team
to ever grace the field ever since the golden generation
of 1999.

Back then, that fateful night in Barcelona,
when Man Utd took virtually the last 2 minutes of the game
to win the Cup.

Andy Cole, Dwight Yorke, David Beckham, Teddy Sheringham,
Ole Gunnar Solksjaer, Nicky Butt, Roy Keane, Ryan Giggs,
Paul Scholes, Gary Neville, Jaap Stam, Peter Schmeichel
just to name a few.


Now in 2008,

Only Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes are the surviving members
of the 1999 side.
But joining them are Cristiano Ronaldo, Carlos Tevez,
Wayne Rooney, Owen Hargreaves, Michael Carrick,
Park Ji Sung, Nani, Anderson
Rio Ferdinand, Patrice Evra, Nemanja Vidic, Wes Brown
and Edwin Van der Sar.


like wad Sir Alex Ferguson said,
this side is still young and theres still alot of time
for them to develop.

I hope this is just the start to many more great things to come.

BORN UNITED

LIVE UNITED

DIE UNITED

Indiana Jones

Okay,
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
was about the best movie i've seen in a while.
Of course this excludes Iron Man.

But seriously, this movie kept my eyes fixed
on the screen the whole time.
Consequences: Undone Maths homework.
But it doesnt matter now
cuz a good movie always makes you feel good.

Because of this,
I'll be looking forward to watching
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,
the latest installment to the series.
Harrison Ford,
(probably the only actor who's career wasnt destroyed
by Star Wars)
(kidding)
is aged 65 in this one.
Therefore this movie must be full of stunt doubles.
But with Steven Spielberg and George Lucas
once again behind this one,
stunt doubles or not, this is a must watch.
Anyway, i'm keen in watching how the Indiana Jones
character has changed (if any).

These kind of movies are always very entertaining.
The kind that involves treasure,
legends, myths,
lost cities, tombs,
etc; they always capture my attention.
I mean look at how much of a success
National Treasure was.
No doubt Benjamin Gates (Nicholas Cage)
is the modern age Indiana Jones.

Well other than the above mentioned,
theres another movie coming up
that i am VERY looking forward to.
Its along the lines of myths, legends, and treasures.
But not exactly portrayed in the way Indiana Jones is.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.
This one stars Brendan Fraser and Jet Li.
It now makes "The Mummy" franchise a trilogy.
Not to mention, I absolutely enjoyed
the first 2 movies.



and here's the one for Indiana Jones



alrite i gotta go sleep now.

gotta wake up before 2.30am
to catch
THE EUROPEAN CUP FINALS

MANCHESTER UNITED
vs
CHELSEA

!!

SAJC vs MJC

Week 5.
24th day in Ngee Ann Poly.

Just got back my first test marks in NP.
Its so pleasant to for once pass a Maths test after
years of failure in sec school.

Engineering Mathematics.
22/28.
Standing ovation please.

Aight, enuff of dat.
Its a decent enuff score for me to be proud.
But clearly this is just the beginning
of more complicated things to come.

I rushed to Jalan Besar Stadium
straight after school today.
Took me 1 hour to get there so i missed the first half
of a very exciting A division soccer match between

SAJC and MJC.

MJC have had great sucess in recent years.
They ended runners up last season,
while SAJC have had tough luck in semi finals.
They crashed out of it last season.

And they did so again this year
MJC of course, secured another appearance
in the finals.

Atmosphere was great.
Half the stadium's grand stand side was filled
with JC students cheering for their teams.

Lots of hot school girls as soon as i stepped past the gates.
Notice i say school girls.

But more importantly i was treated to some entertaining
football for more than 45 mins.

When i arrived, SAJC was leading 1 - 0.
They further increased their lead with a well worked
team goal, making the score 2 - 0.
At this point, a finals appearance seemed certain.

SAJC dropped to a defensive stature.
Or rather, MJC were being very persistent in
pressing on their opponents.
They fought hard for possession,
and kept on attacking,
testing the SAJC goalie on more occasions than once.
They were of course backed by a very energetic crowd.

Their reward finally came by when they were awarded
a free kick from the left flank.
A well sent ball into the box,
saw the ball headed low into the bottom right corner
of the goalpost, with the keeper only
getting a slight touch on the ball.

They kept on attacking
and there was nothing much SAJC could do.
However, their triumph today was also
extremely controversial.

In probably the last 5 mins of the second half,
MJC was awarded a penalty.
In my point of view, there were no fouls.
There seemed to be no handball,

no pulling and no pushing.
Yet, the ref pointed to the spot.
The MJC penalty taker slotted home an inch perfect
penalty kick down to the bottom right corner.
The goalie once again only had a slight touch.

MJC morale was at an all time high.
This was to be a comeback of their dreams.
All 90 mins were played,
and after the score was still leveled after extra time,
it was all down to penalty shootouts.

SAJC denied
MJC denied

SAJC scores
MJC scores

SAJC denied
MJC denied

SAJC hits the post
MJC scores

the next penalty was crucial.
SAJC had to score it no matter wad.

Unfortunately, the MJC keeper saved the penalty.

I didnt wait long after that cuz the SAJC ppl
i were with got pissed and wanted to leave straightaway.
But i stayed long enough to notice the inevitable
tears of joy and despair shed by players
on the field of green.

On the bus ride home, i learnt something very important.
As a player you must be prepared for anything
and everything.
Especially penalties.
In a match where there is no room for errors,
your weakness might prove to be your team's downfall.
Therefore, train until you cant possibly disappoint,
though one must always bear in mind
that mistakes do happen.

Yea so dat was my Thursday

dedication to Man Utd


Many ppl (including me) wore
the Red Devils jersey to school today.

Such a great sign of passion and love.


Sealed with a kiss to the crest,

I dedicate my 3 goals today

to the club that I love most;



Manchester United.

nuff said

Man Utd 07/08 Champions!

GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED.
GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED.
GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED.
AND THE REDS GO MARCHING ON!!!..


This year's league proved to be one
to fight for til the very end.
And today, D-Day and the last day of the BPL,
the United faithful reign supreme!

10th Premier League title.
(excluding the old league division)

Certainly a memorable year for the Red Devils.
Records were broken.
- Ryan Giggs matches Sir Bobby Charlton's record
for most appearances for United, at 758.
- Scoring 4 goals in 3 games consecutively
- Most goals scored in a half (6 against Newcastle)

Talents arose.
But most notably the name that comes to mind
can only be one,
and that is Cristiano Ronaldo.
His performance this season just cant be described with words.



after United's victory today,
i had a short conversation with Haziq,
who is a Chelsea fan.
(Chelsea 2 points short of matching Man Utd)

yea i probably pissed him off. lol
Chelsea fans please dun take my words to heart.
I just wanted to agitate Haziq,
because its a 2D/4G way of life.

Anyway, its all back to square one 10 days from now,
in Moscow,
whereby Man Utd and Chelsea WILL meet again.
This time, for the title of
Champions of Europe!!

19th day in Ngee Ann Poly.

Today had a really weird start.
Mom woke me up at 6am.
And asked me if i was supposed to head to school
early or late today.
Thinking that a 9am start was considered early,
i said "early".

So she rushed me to wake up,
eat my breakfast, bath and everything
with the mentality that i was gonna be late.
I completed everything in 15 mins
instead of the usual 30 mins.

I left home and walked briskly to the bus stop
cuz i was a minute behind time.
(would have missed a bus)
But when i got to the bus stop,
tired after the incredibly fast paced start to the day,
i finally realised that i was an hour ahead of time.

You see to my mom, "early" means
im supposed to be at school by 8am.
Yea so dats how the an okay day began.

futsal - 3rd training

Week 4.
16th day in Ngee Ann Poly.
My first taste of sour defeat at the futsal court.

This is actually my second loss.
My first was on Saturday,
but that one was after a 3 game winning streak.
So losing didnt matter.
This time though, we got kicked out on our first match.

The opponents were very formidable.
Commanded from the back by a rock solid defender.
Their last line of defence was the best keeper around.
And yea la the whole team was good.
But im not using that as an excuse.
(though maybe i involuntarily just did)

But anyway, i had a few decent touches on the ball.
The one moment i cant get rid off on my mind
was when i got past one on the right,
thn from out of nowhere
i was taken down by a living bulldozer.
I probably got thrown a feet away,
landed on my knee where a bad cut now lies.
Not a cut la. But that thing u get when ur skin drags
on a rough surface. Forgot wad its called.

At any rate, that wound is now
nothing but a reminder that i'm still not good enough.
Still not fast enough.
Still not intimidating enough.

It was a hard tackle.
Hard yet clean.
(well at least it seemed clean)

With this, i now have lost twice in NP,
out of a total of 16 games so far.
3 draws if i can remember properly.
4 goals for CCA,
4 goals for Sports & Wellness.

This tally can only go up.
It will never remain stagnant.
(excluding the losing part)




PS: To Valerie who has tagged me,
the thingy thing that im supposed to do
is gonna have to wait til at least tomorrow yar.

Labour Day 2008

A well deserved break today for all those working
men and women who have been working hard. o.O
And also all the students studying hard
for MYEs or wadever it is ur studying for.
Of course i'm not one of them.

Today i was supposed to go out with OG Whisky.
But in the end i had to stay at home cuz
the ppl who are gonna renovate my house came over
to measure the details and all.
Being the only person in the household who speaks English,
i had to stay so that they and my parents
dun engage in a chicken and duck conversation.

Wad are they doing working on Labour Day anyway?

Well whatever it is, i'm glad my house is finally
getting a renovation.
Actually, only the kitchen.
But that'll do cuz the kitchen is what im worried about anyway.

My mom cooks everyday on a stove
thats 1310398123 years old.
Its oven malfunctioned like more than 10 years ago.
It cant even close properly.
Heck, everytime i look at the stove i feel like
it could explode anytime.

If only i could take photos of my kitchen
(AND MY TOILET)
and show you ppl.
Not as a means of showing off of course.

Anyway, my toilet is very old.
Its separated into 2 diff rooms, toilet bowl and bathroom,
unlike most of ur toilets.
And the toilet bowl is the squatting one.

And the kitchen cabinets,
luckily its only my mom who uses them.
Cuz if any1 else stronger than her tries to open any of the compartments,
they'll probably tear the whole thing apart.

My point is, my kitchen is old,
its dirty,
its got insects and lizards crawling all over it at night,
and its old.

So i'm kinda looking forward to an all new kitchen
