my lips have not tasted beer, glorious beer, for exactly 6 freaking weeks already...i am dying...or u can say that i am completely detoxed..but who needs detox-ing anyways...just give me beer...
tomolo will be the day when i know a few things...firstly, whether i still need to keep my leg straightened all the time...secondly, whether my mc will get extended thus leading to the third thing, which is when i will be able to get my big fat ass outta home and back to work finally...pls pls pls...let me have positive confirmations from the doc...
no go back to work means more boredom, more time to kill and of cos, loss of income...which alll are totally uncool...also means tat i most probably should go out anywhere else to meet frens, tok cock etc...super ultra weak lar...
went out for the whole of last weekend...yangtai, benson, qiuhui and kit came by to visit me at my place...played some mahjong, drove out to glutton's square for makan (the makan there, i must say, are quite sub-standard and expensive, neva go there unless u are dying of starvation) and met maddy/paul tong there, went back to qiuhui's place to carry on with mahjong and watch real vs barca, went breakfast and tok cock with them plus qiuhui's sis all the way til the afternoon...with barely enough sleep or rest, went home and then left for phyllis' place for her big 21 party...met lotsa people there...sounds like i have been living in a cave for dunno-how-many-donkey-years-liddat, but i am mar...many of my freshies (when i was disney BL) were there...so nice...brings back lotsa memories...suddenly miss camp alot...dunno how i'd feel when i go back and visit for next year's camp...kiv that thought ba....
see, after a weekend out after such a long time at home, the following week was terrible for me...monday was worse...still feel like going out...but never got to...stuck at home....explains how bored i was at home...sorta kills my quit-grumbling campaign...drats...haha...oh well...bottomline is, pls let me hear good news tomolo...dua pek gong, pls boh bi!
p/s: spurs lost again...6th consecutive defeat...halo, wake up, u spurs...my fave player, darren anderton, scored again for birmingham...why is he fit for other teams, but not for spurs...arghhh...highlight match of the weekend was real vs barca as mentioned just now...real was completely outclassed by barca, which is one of the strongest teams i've seen in recent years...completely proves my point about real madrid...you cannot just throw a buncha superstars and just expect them to perform...no way...still need teamwork and organization...look at barca, think frank rikaard (tat how u spell?) did with the team...good organisation, stick to the game plan and players playing for one another...no doubt ronaldhino is the superstar on the squad...but even he plays his heart out for the whole team...he is such a superstar precisely because of the plays he makes for his teammates and his passion for the game...he plays with a smile on his face...tats how footy should be played...unlike a certain foul-mannered ruud van nistelrooy who constantly looks like he's frowning...eew...the second goal by barca was a display of how they can break down a tight defence with intricate passing...total footy resulting in giovanni van bronckhorst, the leftback, scoring...on other matters, wayne rooney, the little boy of england finally lost his head...for me, it was just a matter of time...he has been given too big a hat to fit his head...moreover, i have a certain theory abt him, think he is destructive to the team he is playing for...cos of the attention he receives...look at man u now...they are now beneath everton (rooney's former club) in the league table...remmeber, everton are the perrenial premiership strugglers...they are flying this season precisely because rooney has left the club and the manager finally can concentrate fully on managing the whole team instead of paying too much attention to the little brat...fergie, u bought him for his talent but how are you gonna focus on managing the whole team when u are so concerned about your prized boy...my heart goes out to ya man u fans out there (not u glory hunters, whom are aplenty in singapore, i was only referring to those die-hard fans!)...
enough crap for the time being...ciao!

My worst fear,
I am sure
Is no beer
Not queer;
No beer
Sure tear
Beers!
Peers!
Cheers!
the above gibberish have been bubbling in my puny head since (warm, humid and totally irritating!) yesterday but i put it down here only today (which happens to be cool, nice and refreshing)...funny thing is, you'd only yearn for an ice cold beer on a day which is warm, humid and totally irritating, but yet, i refuse to blog yesterday for exactly the same reasons...ironic eh...
jus plugged in my earphones for my mobile (cell, handphone, wateva u call it...toe-may-toe, toe-mar-toe) cos i wanna escape from the annoying clicking noise that comes from my computer wheneva my norton-antivirus runs a full-scan over a bad sector in my harddisk...was listening in to power 98 cos the reception was the clearest...could it be the safra next door...heard a buncha buddies (army lar! power 98 is army radio) talking abt their share of clownish acts during ns days...dun wanna tink abt my own exploits now cos i dun wanna rack me brains...too many stories, information will overload and my puny brain will crash and burn like my bad sector...but sure miss the frens i've made during ns...not keeping much contact with most of em except for a few closer ones...jus wondering how the others are doing...
anyways, congratulations to all those whose exams have already ended...should be a majority of those from planet ntu...those unfortunate few who are the chosen ones who end their papers on the very last day of the entire exams, fret not, its only tomolo...heard the 2 bozos on power 98 say something abt an exam formula which i found quite amusing...shall share it here...
(CMC)^2 = Can Means Can, Cannot Means Cannot
...so da thing for all of u out there taking/jus-taken exams, over liao then forget it until you get the results...dun think too much...
watched super-size me this afternoon...finally downloaded it after 10 zillion attempts and waiting for more than 24 hrs for this particular torrent...the cheapskate piece of shit i am, finally got to watch this mocumentary (movie+documentary) of "epic-proportions"...jus like micheal moore's stuff, this was also very interesting, humorous and of cos, thought provoking and shocking...of cos anything should be taken with a pinch of salt (not literally, u dumbass!), but after watching this show, i swear i am gonna lay off fast food, or at least mcdonald's, for as much as i can...bet u will too if you have watched the show...some disturbing footage of how much sugar or fats contained in mac's meals...essentially the producer of the show undertook a month-long purely mac's diet for one whole month...he, from above average fitness and health, degenerated to a sad, hooked-on-mac's, unhealthier, heavier dude...totally not cool...all 3 doc's concluded the outrageous diet was killing his liver and more importantly, his overall health...i am sooooo grateful for my grandma's ai-xin (loving) brand of home-cooked meals for this whole period of recuperation from my op...thank god i dun really take very much to fast food...yucks...say no to fast food whenever possible...
"evil, evil ronald!"
on a more positive note, no more cling wrap showers for me...yippeee...i removed the dressing after i removed the stitches a few days ago...can see the scabs...more or less dried up...somehow, the wounds still do have waves of ant bites-like sensations...hope they go away soon...alas, one more small step on the long road of reovery...wish me luck!

jus finished watching the epl highlights on tv since i wasn't able to catch the north london derby live on cable since i dun have cable at home...but classic matches deserve another mention...all the goals were brilliant...especially the individual effort by jermaine defoe; won the ball on the left wing, shimmies past one defender and speeds past 3, 4 others before curling a sweet shot to the top right-hand corner where the hopeless clown of an arse keeper was rooted at his spot...still, we lost out on disgusting defending...yes, absolutely goat's crap's showing of defending...not less than 4 of the 5 goals the enemies scored were due to keeper's fumbling and clashing into the defender/losing the ball at dangerous places near or in the penalty box/zero coverage/napping when defending...aw man, defence is the key man...minus those howlers and we would have thrashed the arses 4-1...mr jol, u jol-ly well do something about the organisation...
win games = f(organisation + ability to get the goals no matter wat + team fighting spirit - ultrasuay bad luck)
simple formula...of course tat's simplifying matters...of course there are many factors and complexities...but but but, those are the KEY...cannot run away from em...no amount of money can buy you winners...jus look at real madrid (sorry, chia)...they have all the money and superstars in the world, but look at how they suffered defeats after defeats cos the team has no organisation aand fighting spirit...then take a look at chelski, they have really built a team...in the true essence of what you would call a team, well-organised and the attitude to play for your teammates...true, they were built on the money of a certain russian oil mogul but they have developed a team, not bought and jus thrown into the mix like a bunch of schoolboys playing in the school yard...
anyways, the weekend produced many, many goals and memorable moments...many fabulous goals such as the piledriver of a freekick by lampard, the sweet volley by papa diop, the mazy dribble by robben, the acute cracker by kolka etc etc...but the most memorable moment was by kanu, who missed an open goal in the last minute (and a chance to give his team west brom a chance to equalise against boro) from a great distance of, ahem, 2 cm...yes, 2 blardee centimetres!! and he skied the ball...the commentator poked "only kanu is capable of such incredible feats"...bet many a baggies fans' hearts missed a beat there...bish...that was under the belt to tease the nigerian who had a heart murmur condition...oops...
kay...enuff of footy...
good day i had...amazing...my prayers, or should i say the threat to dance the rain dance on one (my) good leg, guess wat, was answered...somehow, someone up there read this blog and decided to make this day a much cooler one by splashing a mighty downpour in the late morning...the whole day was breezy and nice throughout after that...gooody...not irritated at all today and the afternoon nap was shiok...
in other amazing matters...was at the hospital today...when i left and boarded the cab (which, a chio-chio lady alighted from and offered to hold the door for me)...the chio chio lady not the amazing thing lar...when i boarded the cab from changi general hosp, it was noon time so it was pouring like crazy as mentioned earlier...some 6 minutes and 47 seconds later, when i was nearing my place (which was a stone's throwaway in tampines), the bad-ass rain cowarded into a mere ity-bitty drizzle...
i quote the cab driver (loosely translated from mandarin) "aiyo, i was still thinking of how to help you out of the cab when you reach your place...now i know you are very very lucky...only i know because now the rain stopped for you...you are very very lucky..."
yeap, i was quite lucky...to escape getting lame-drenched and getting my fresh dressing totally wet (and perhaps incurring the risk of getting infection cos of the wet dressing)...yes, lucky me...thankfully, i got home nice and dry...
went to rehab first before removing my stitches...rehab was good today...could do all the exercises the physiotherapist (called yann ling, looks like a petite minah, but from the name, can tell is chinese rite?) has ordered...yes, including the dreaded leg raises...did it with a mighty (erm) 2 and 1/2 lbs weight some more...pain pain, but at least overcoming it, with much difficulties...was breathing hard and perspiring...good feeling...hope i can keep up with more progresses...was looking forward to the electric pulse thingy they did at the end of the last session cos quite comfy and shiok...but guess she decided i dun need anything to soothe the pain...
then went to remove the stitches...tot tat would be quite eeky...but heng ar, i got my phone's mp3s to blast whilst i lie down and try not to look at watever the nurse was doing to my knee (as usual!) and the nurse juz went on with the removing of the stitches...din cause too much pain...though i know that she was snipping the threads and yanking them out with a tweezer...glad tat was over in like 10 minutes...3 mp3s and i was done...no more showers with cling wrap 2 days from now...
still a bit sore from the exercises in the morning...shall continue with the leg raises tomorrow...for now, i shall stop here...and enjoy wats left of this lovely day...simple pleasures of life...a slacker's life tat is...

wats up with the stinking weather?? so blardee humid...even with the fan blasting against me back...i hate the feeling of being sticky and sweaty like 5 mins after u have juz taken a shower...and having showers now is a very troublesome routine for me considering the fact that i have to wrap my dressings with cling-wrap and tape em up...and standing one leg on the wet, slippery bathroom floor is a tricky tricky business...so i limit my showers to the minimum...i cannot run to the refuge of an(y) air-conditioned place to cool down and escape from the punishing weather cos of my obvious lack of mobility...and yes, i do not have the luxury to jus turn on the air-con in the house cos simply my house no air-con lar...pls pls pls...dun be so humid liao...rain more rain more...pls do not force me to dance the rain dance on one leg...
enuff kaopei-ing...not tat old to constantly grumble...
gonna go for my second rehab session tomorrow...as well as remove my stitches...well, consolation is that showers should not be so much trouble and a severe wastage of cling-wrap and tape...yippee...dunno whether the removing of the stitches will hurt alot...cannot bear to tink of it...i have tis habit of lookin away when the nurse/doc/medic/first-aider applies medical procedures to me...be it injections, cleaning of wounds, savagely pulling out blood drains from me knee...bet i will look away when they remove the stitches for me tomorrow...dun like to see the graphic image of watever shit they do to my fragile body...rather like to concentrate on not screaming like a girl if there is any considerable pain...tink wun be too painful tomorrow, rite? yeah, dun scare myself ba...oki, leave it at that...
tink the rehab this time round would be more constructive cos i have been trying to do leg-raising exercises tat doc wants me to do at least like, erm, a thousand times a day...come on lar, dr b k chan, u gotta be kidding me...i know its good for me but my knee will hurt like shit after like, erm, ten miserable reps...and the pain lingers for a coupla hours...well, i do it everyday and feel my quads slowly (no kidding, very slowly) building...rome wasn't built in a day, rite doc?
other than the uncompromising weather, i have been a fairly happy, content dude of late...largely thanks to msn, the vcds i have, my books, and of course bittorrent (which allows me to have access to fresh songs, latest episodes of naruto/bleach/southpark/simpsons/OC)...cannot wait to be mobile again...got so many things that i was planning on doing...
one regret though, feel like kicking me own butt for not subscribing to cable tv...cos i missed an absolute thriller derby at white hart lane over the weekend when my dear dear spurs lost narrowly to the arrogant arses by an incredible scoreline of 4-5 due to some defending kamikazes...thanks huat for keeping me updated on the match...i'm sure u enjoyed the match...i wanna watch, i wanna watch...arghhh...anyways, reckon that spurs will have a jol-ly good time under martin jol's charge...he's dutch and he's out to play good footie...cannot be too bad...its all in the fine blood of spurs...looking at the current team, he has a considerably talented team to work with...but pls dun abandon wat santini has drilled with the defence...defence is still a critical path to go if we were to challenge for any honours...if possible, groom carrick and let him grow in stature like wat lampard did in chelsea...we can do it...pls dun disappoint, mr jol...looking forward to the future spurs matches...life at the lane should get considerably exciting...come on, you spurs (us spurs fans have been an oppressed bunch for long enough)
did a little homework in analyzing and it paid dividends for my yahoo fantasy football team this past weekend...got 7 goals (inclusive of a milan baros hat-trick), 2 assists and the only cleansheet for the weekend's fixtures...all these considering i chose to pick undervalued players (i.e. only 4 out of the 11 players i selected cost me more than 10 yahoofantasy dollars)...ended as the top performer for the week for both leagues (hallseven and the crapleague) i'm playing in with 153 pts...not bad not bad...shall do homework if i have the time...hanah, let me haolian a bit can? =P
back to my bed and the scrubs soundtrack...ja!

Some days I feel like crying
Don’t matter if its rain or shine
I feel like my heart was broken
At least a million times
Some days I wake up dreaming
Feels like I never even woke
Answer life’s big question
As if it’s one big joke
Maybe it’s too soon to be sure but I
Really do believe that some day we’re gonna have it all
So I cry so hard it keeps the rhythm of a train
Rolling right along when the ride gets rough you got to carry on
Some days I feel like singing
I sit back and just groove the day away
Maybe I pick up a guitar and play what I want to play
Maybe it’s too soon to be sure but I
Really do believe that some day we’re gonna have it all
So I cry so hard it keeps the rhythm of a train
Rolling right along when the ride gets rough you got to carry on
Carry on,
You got to carry on
You got to carry on
You got to carry on
Today I feel like laughing
Seems to be no reason at all
And if the world stops spinning
I’m not afraid to fall
Maybe it’s too soon to be sure but I
Really do believe that some day we’re gonna have it all
So I cry so hard it keeps the rhythm of a train
Rolling right along when the ride gets rough you got to carry on
Don’t matter if its rain or shine
I feel like my heart was broken
At least a million times
Some days I wake up dreaming
Feels like I never even woke
Answer life’s big question

Carry on,
You got to carry on
You got to carry on
You got to carry on
Today I feel like laughing
Seems to be no reason at all
And if the world stops spinning
I’m not afraid to fall

the invisible man
tot this was quite good...
and finally, pirate chubby...haha...oooh oooh, and check out the angels in the background...
finally found a way after my operation...to sit at my desk in front of my com for longer times (than the previous 5 minutes max)...all becos i have to keep my troubled knee straightened...so, jus try sitting with one of your legs completely straightened...pain lar and ultra uncomfy...so having a comfy position to finally stay long enough in front of my com, here i am bloggin...
where was i...
oh ya, the operation was successful but the doc said tat my kneee was very badly damaged and tat my case was very troublesome...took him much longer than the usual operating timing...i'm jus glad tat was outta the way...woke up from the anesthasia feeling super painful in my knee and throat (yes, cos they have to shove a tube down my throat to aid breathing) and lack of circulation in my lower right limb (cos strapped up o a brace plus i reckon a lot of veins and arteries were damaged in the process of the op)...din have the strength and appetite to do anything including eating for the following 2 days...despite the fact tat i was starving in actual fact cos i only had a subway sandwich the night before my op...

wahpiangs...today really grey sky morning leh...rain like nobody's business...see i have prove below...paiseh…picture blur blur cos I wake up blur blur so hold my fone oso not steady one…
those poor contestants at the class 95 subaru wrx challenge muz be super drenched by now…poor things…but hey, the winner goes home with a sports car, so if i were there, snow i also will tahan man…rainy mornings are the best to sleep in, but not in the mood to sleep tis time round…dunno why…something’s wrong with me already – usually i’d juz pull my blanket over my head and snooze in…tink to gan cheong for the op liao..siao one…where got people so eggcited for op one??!
oh well…abit not used to the new start-work timing now…today happens to be the first day that daylight saving is off, so i start work at 4 pm instead of the usual 3 pm…but wat the heck, i’m gonna be out of action for 2 weeks, shall get used to the timing after i get back to work after my medical leave…

woah...working at csfb (the bank tat i work for) is quite interesting...lets begin with yesterday's - erm, friday lar - series of events for me...
was up til about 5 am in the morning designing halloween wallpapers for myself and my team mates...so, slept for 5 hrs...den groggily woke up to reach office by 12 (instead of the usual 3 pm) to do scoring for our company's very own amazing race... tinking tat we gonnna have a halloween celebration later in the evening in office...i was desperately looking around the house for stuff to wear as costume...unfortunately juz just founda small piece of black cloth for me to tie around my crutches...yes, i'm on crutches cos i suffered a relapse of my knee ACL+meniscus injury (tats wat the doc says...he says its the same one as ronaldo's injury)...
anyways, i took part in last month's amazing race before my relapse of the injury...and thus was entrusted with the responsibility of organizing the race tis time round with my fellow participants... i din do much actualli cos i was hurt shortly after we startedd planning for this race... so din go for recce and the planning...only helped out with final scoring on the race day and designed the race logo of sorts...which my organising team liked...hee...ego...fly fly...
the logo...
so, after doing the scoring for the race (which unfortunately ahboy's team lost outcos they had the harder route)...see them so enjoy the race good enough for us, the organisers liao... was in office earlier than normal... tats when dixon, my fellow organiser and the organiser of the halloween party, pulled out a pirate's hat and eye-patch and handed em to me...and said, there, we bought tis specially for you...cos tink i mentioned to him tat if i could get hold of a pirate's outfit, then it'll fit my predicament (in crutches) purrfectly...so, there i was quite touched...but kudos to dixon, michelle for putting up such a marvellous celebration!
enough of my ramblings...shall show some of the pics i took in office on fridae...
my desk...
above my cubicle...
my team's hideout...
the winners of the best deco...

me and my assistant vice prez, pirates ahoy!
more pics will be posted once i get hold of em... will feature a lot more nice nice costumes...witches, ghouls, skeletores, angels, pumpkinheads etc...so watch tis space for more fun halloween pics...
the celebration got catered (free) food, and charades, and costume/deco competition...and paiseh to say, urs truly got teh best male costume, which i totally din expect to win, cos i tot there were far nicer costumes than mine...but tink they took pity on the bai ka...so give it to me lar...hee...anyways, heard got vouchers for the prizes...gonna find out on monday...tot the best female costume one was very goood...she really had the whole outlook of a true blue witch, even her frock, then her hat got a papier mache cat stuck on it, superb effort...deserved winner...
anyways, it was mighty fun...tink the whole office mood liven up for these coupla days...though i myself was facing a certain ahneh crisis myself (shall elaborate on tat when i am free)...shall not spoil the halloween fun with my grumblings...hehe...had plenty of fun and laughs the whole time...real cool place to work in...
the nite was rounded off with a nice impromptu supper with ahboy, kit and benben at geylang...dim sum followed by dou jiang + you tiao (oops...if irene soh, u happen to be reading this, our bet is blown to smithereeens... =P but really, i have been dieting for the past two weeks... come on, cut me some slack at the end of the week...hee...)...den kit and boy were drinking beer whilst we chatted til the first lights of the morning sun in geylang turned up...tmd, i wanna drink beer, but cannot cos of my knee...haven't been drinking since three weeks ago and prolly not gonna touch alcohol for the next 3-4 weeks...sianz 1/2...we spent the whole nite reliving hall stories and stuff, talking abt baseball and soccer, and suaning kit (as always)...tmd again, all of em talk about sports makes me have the urge to subscribe to scv...should i? should i? hmmmm...tats y its so tmd...but it was a very nice tiem out with a few good frens, juz chatting and tinking of nothing else 'cept stuff tat we like...nice warm buzz abt it...and i'm lovin it...will definitely do tis more in the future...when i'm more mobile of cos...haha...
