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!

2004-11-16T22:04:00.000+08:00

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...

sayonara... *bows profusely*

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

some more pics from me office halloween party...reckon will have more coming once i go back office and get from dixon my man...

the invisible man

tot this was quite good...

and finally, pirate chubby...haha...oooh oooh, and check out the angels in the background...

2004-11-13T10:18:00.000+08:00

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...

my last supper

after the op, i was bed-ridden...going places was a no-no...too troublesome with my crutches and my have-to-keep-straightened knee...so its watching vcds all the way...compliments of qiyan and irene whom kindly passed them to ahboy to pass to me...thanks a lot, y'all...confirm i would die of absolute boredom lest for the box sets of serial vcds...finished 2 sets already, 3 more to go...

wanna take this chance to thank all those who came down to the hospital (delia, felicia, wendy wong, michelle, kit and jenny) or to my place (my dear brudder, ahboy, wendy the panty, ouyang the chowyang and irene soh to visit me...thank you, stel, for accompanying me to rehab...and many thanks to all of you who called or msged your concerns...thank you thank you thank you...see, i cannot stop saying thank you cos really appreciate all your care and concern...yesh, i will get well! not so soon though...it takes time...but i'd be back!!

below are some of the pics i took at cgh when i was bored to shits...

my patient tag

tats where they injected antibiotics into weak weak me (then)

my bed...incidentally, my bed/ward number struck consolation prize in 4-D jus 3 days ago (wed), kit and boy very dui cos they bought the prior sat's and sun's draw but did not carry on...me? bedridden lar, no buy, not dui...but could use with a bit more cash though...hahaha...oh ya, the magic number happens to be 3047, i bed number 30, ward 47...

the gifts i got from visiting frens...yes, tat's a g-string, quite obviously it wouldn't fit me...no lar, the g is a complimentary gift tat came along with the FHM mag tat my kind colleagues bought for me...nothing juicy/kinky of the sort la...

finally a pic of kit and jenny who come to visit after work...silly kit insisted tat jenny act cute, thus the pic...plus he insisted tat the pic remained in my (yes, MY!) phone as the wallpaper...wat the heck, man...

bored bored bored...still have about 2 weeks to go for my mc to end...how to tahan? all these while still have to keep my knee straight...not too painful now liao (except for the occasional throbbing pain tat comes and goes, which is super painful)...stopped relying on painkillers long time ago cos of my luck with painkillers and allergies, so gotta bite the bullet and face the pain...endure endure endure...but still cannot put any weight on my right leg yet...dunno how fast the healing and the strengthening will take...pls pls pls...fast fast fast...need booze soon...muahahahaha...

finally, to those working, enjoy this long weekend! to those still have lingering exams...hang in there...gonna end real sooon, then it'll be IH seaon and the holis...so jia you! oki...getting uncomfy liao...gotta go lie on the bed liao...hahaha...ja!

2004-11-02T07:45:00.000+08:00

yesh, the day is finally here...operation day...going to check in to the dreaded hospital in five...shall talk abt it more after i check outta there...

2004-11-01T13:59:00.000+08:00

exam week starts tis week in ntu...all those still mugging (or bochup), all the best...stress not and focus...the key word being focus...can make it one so hang in there...gambatte neh!

d-day minus 1 today for yours truly...the ligament-reconstruction-meniscus-repair-(if-not-cut-away) surgery by dr b k chan (mbbs), m.med(surgery), frcs(glas), frcs(edin) [hanah, need so many titles meh? haolian...]...its juz one frickin DAY away...stel, he wun torture me rite? he good one rite? hahaha....abit scared, but more importantly, eagerly anticipating the op cos its gonna fix my knee once and for all...cross fingers for me pls...scared cos dunno wat to expect for the surgery and after the surgery, dunno how painful its gonna be and dunno how tedious the rehab's gonna be...but i shall bite the bullet and put on a brave front nonetheless...at least i'm sure i wun scream...yes, haha, as my dear yi lu ping an pointed out, i'd be unconscious cos of the anesthetics...thank u kit and boy for volunteering to accompany me for admission...but seriously, kit, like tat can compassionate leave meh??!

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…

juz heard the news over the laylio tat arts central will be featuring japperneese anime three days a week going forward…goodie for anime fans…am i considered a fan? hmmm…i watch selectively leh…only a few tat I like…but who cares… however, even though i do not understand a lot of the japperneese language and rely heavily on the subtitles in the anime tat i watch, i reckon tat those tat are gonna be shown on arts central will be dubbed in english (or mandarin) and I seriously tink tat they will spoil the anime…cos firstly, I have yet to see a very good job at dubbing done by any of our media companies (oops, now combined liao hor, so its company…again)…and secondly, the very essence and spirit and humor is captured in the original japperneese language, so metinks arts central will be betta off not showing them jap animes if they are gonna show them dubbed…either tat or show em in japperneese eqwuipped with subtitles…tat’ll be much betta…anyways, I grumble so much…most likely I wun get to watch cos I’d be working…oh well….there, I am a fan…muahaha… anyways, thank you soooo much, yaowen, for sending me naruto and opening up another anime download resource for me…

so long…going off to work soon… ja!

2004-10-31T02:09:00.000+08:00

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...

so...so...happy halloweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen!!!

two nites ago...after i went to the little boy's room for a leak at nite, i found an unusual visitor in my room...see below...

the pictures were taken after i put the thing into a container filled with water...all tat after i have caught it with a plastic bag and brought it up to show derr, ahboy and qiyan...qiyan was totally frightened by my prized trophy...wanted to scare huat with it by leaving it in the tied plastic bag and putting the plastic bag in his room, but too bad the old man was sleeping by the time i got to his room...oh well...hehehe...

wah kaoz...yesterday was a super long day...campus interviews in the morning and the early afternoon and then i had to rush down to pwc building for another interview...came back to hall, relax a while then had to attend camp meeting at canteen b...then came the fun part, the lot of us, me, derr, ahboy, huat, wenlie, gillian and benson rode kind wenlie's trusty yet rickety van all the way to geylang for supper...huat was super dark...i called him the burnt matchstick man...back to the food, food, glorious food...beef horfun, chwee quay, oyster omlette, iced soyabean drink, youtiao, guo tie, vermicelli, shao bing...so good, so good...came back to my room after a packed day...continued watching this anime series called full metal alchemist...been watching it for a few days liao...

wanna finish the episodes i have on hand so that i can go on to watch other shows...this is a brilliant yet sad story about two brothers...find out more here...

wanted to write this blog after watching the show, then, but...but, i was too exhuasted and dozed off with my room door open ...erm...the second time in 3 days!!! sleeping with the room door wide open wasn't a bad thing, unless of course you lived on the ground level like me and people will walk past your room every now and then and look at the state you are sleeping in...

thank god today has been a relaxing day for me...nothing much happening except for settling some camp stuff...hee...yup, a slacker, that's wat i am...watcha gonna do abt tat...yay, 3 more days to KL...steph showed me the pics of her trip to tioman with the programmers and wah, so nice, looks fun...(everybody seems to be going off on overseas holidays, but me penniless)so KL, here i come!! hope the trip is fun, i'm sure it would be...

2004-05-18T00:26:00.000+08:00

wah wah...exciting times now...whole series of interviews coming up for me...really hope i can get them jobs...the feeling of not able to secure a job totally sucks cos u would feel super demoralized and lost...cross all fingers!! pls pls pls pls pls pls...

anyways, was at sentosa over the weekend...forgot to bring my camera there...shucks...so used an older foto i took the other time i was there...hee

was at yangtai's chalet...at sijori resort...in the suite, which were much better and spacious than the pathetic standard rooms, thank god...yangtai, qiuhui, derrick, ahboy, benson, maddy, luppy, jane, jared and derek chong were there...whilst kit and mrs kit, jenny, dropped by late late in the nite for while too...the whole time was a relaxing period cos really did nothing much except tok kok, play cards, drink and makan there...dunno wassup but the ex-dunmanians(or the de4-mingers) (namely maddy, qiuhui and me) were targetted by (de4 cheena-highers) (derrick, yangtai and benson...oh, and luppy) thru out the whole time...juz cos we lost to them slightly in a card game called 99...hmmm...not bad lar, learnt this 99 game...neva played prior to tis time...there was a pressurizing, tense period when we were playing the drinking game (the card game) cos the spirit of the game was missing then...but dunno why also...previous drinking games i've played in neva ended in such tension...but apart from tat little hiccup, the chalet was a blast cos it was really a nua time where we all had activities together...the nonsensical word joining game, tat went on and on when we were about to sleep (but not really keen on sleeping) and layed on the bed, was super funny, everything under the sun could come out...very very hilarious...and we made so much noise whilst playing tis nonsense game...but benson and derek chong were fast asleep despite all the noise...they sure were deep sleepers...oh yar, and the aircon was quite weak, cannot even cool down the whole suite, only managed to cool down the front part of the room, so sad, so warm...oh well, it was still great-great to relive the chalet experience...dun even remember when was the last time i was at a chalet...oh, maddy or qiuhui, if u are reading this, pls pls pls send me the photos...

okie...gonna prepare for my interviews tomorrow...and maybe drink a bit with ahboy, derrick and poh...hee... =P

2004-05-13T17:32:00.000+08:00

yes yes...i know i haven't been bloggin for the past week and a half...now even blog homepage changed its outlook liao...have been a complete slug since exams ended for me and juz din felt like bloggin until now...haha...i am juz a lazy bum...but i will be back...

check out today's(make tat today, the day before yesterday, two days before yesterday and three days before yesterday) weather...sweltering heat...yeah, the kind tat juz automatically shuts down your brain and u would juz not move at all, not wanting to risk perspiring more than u already have been...even sleeping at nite becomes a tedious process if u are not helped by God-sent cures such as beers, liquors, wines etc...and all these is evident by below:

juz look at how pathetic the cloud cover is...right outside of me room...sigh...

yes, really, i will be back...but not in this dreadful weather...maybe later at nite when the irritating sun takes a break and the wind finally decides to visit our little sunny island...

2004-04-26T03:35:00.000+08:00

wow!! juz finished an 8-hour marathon watching soccer...watching 4 matches in a row and all were pretty good matches...but my personal favourite was the north london derby at white hart lane where my dear spurs come back from 0-2 down to level the game in injury time...it was smashing...screw the arses...so wat if they had won the league...they din come to us and walk all over us...jamie redknapp's curling drive to the bottom right hand post was a peach of a goal...the best of the nite...though he's still not back to his very best, he's shown glimpses of wat he's capable of...so great to see them play better after the first goal...they are really capable of playing very well if they had the drive to press like they did juz now, if they had done tat all season, i wouldn't be surprised if they were challenging for the top spots...oh well, my only hope for them now is that they would not be dragged into the relagation dogfight...and get and decent manager for goodness sake, and build a solid, disciplined team tat's capable of palying good football...they already shown tat they can play good footy, now wat they need is more determination, drive, spirit and discipline...come on you spurs! other results included leeds going down 0-2 to pompey...they look doomed for relegation...wat a pity cos alan smith has been wonderful for them all season, too bad the rest of the team and the management sucked big time...the toons came from behind to win 2-1 over chelski who did look quite lost at times, and quite brilliant at others...shearer, the classic center forward, does wat he's best at - using his body to shield the ball before lashing a nice dipping shot into the far corner...vintage shearer, he's still good for a couple of years....great professional...another cracker of a match - real at home to barca...a host of stars on display...and they are not called stars for nothing as they entertained throughout the match...the first half was goalless, yet thoroughly thrilling...raul, zidane, figo, becks, davids, kluivert, saviola, overmarcs, roberto carlos...the list goes on and on...even from their marvellous subs bench...but none can beat my man-of-the-match, ronaldhino...he was absolutely sublimal tonite...his touches, his vision, his dribbling all shone out as he crafted chance after chance for barca...it was end to end stuff...mesmerizing...worth staying up for the match...super enjoyable 4 matches, super enjoyable evening...too bad couldn't cheer loudly when my spurs scored cos someone came down to tell us to lower down the volume cos she was trying to sleep for the next day's exams...oh well, i'm so thrilled tat my spurs actually came out good...one more time, screw u arses!!!!!

enough about the exhilarating footy...gonna sleep and tml will be back to the boring books...my first paper is beckoning...tuesday is the d-day...cannnot wait for friday to come cos tat'll be my last paper already...hope everything goes well...pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls...

yesh, finally updated my blog after a whole week...yes, jac, i know...haha...been very slack den exams prep is a perfect excuse mar... plus nothing much to update cos it had been wake up, makan, study, doze off in any sequence recently...

i know tis is late, but lets have a minute of silence for the victims of the nicoll highway collapse...

well...tis has been the biggest incident so far this year tat has happened to singapore and wat a tragic one it has been...tink the site workers are facing up with constant dangers...terrible...deepest condolences to the families of the victims...

life indeed is fragile...so we do really need to live life to fullest everyday we are living...easier said than done...but tink tis is a simple yet profound principle tat everyone should and could follow...let us rejoice in life!

but then again, wats life without the realities of life...which brings us back to NOW...i hate the exams...not because i dread studying...but because i dread the fact that the system of exams is pure sucky...or at least closed book exams are wrong...i feel tat closed books exams only profit those who knows how to swallow, memorise the whole book and spit it out during the exams...and most of the time these people dunno half the stuff that they have spitted out...and they are the ones who get the good grades...sigh...wat a pity...haha...juz lamenting over the fact tat i myself is a mediocore memorizer who prefers to understand concepts to understand stuff...too bad for me and alot of ppl out there i'm pretty darn sure, tat we wun be the ones who get the good grades...oh well, grades ain;t everything i guess...juz dun like the fact of losing out because of a fundamental flaw in the system...hahaha...even though i have only one closed book exam for this semester...the pressure, the losing feeling, the irritation still kinda sux...hehe...

oh no...shd be back at my stoopid books soon...as soon as i'm done with burning the stuff for vcd production for my camp's vcd...SUX aka sports unlimited x...my camp...well, it ended last july...i'm still doing work for it now..l.sigh...can only sigh at my committee member's efficiency (or lack of it)...alrite...finishing...shall stop complaining again and get back to my burning...at least it takes me off the more irritating books...hee

finally my dumb browser is working fine...wanted to blog for the past 2 days but din managed to cos the dumb browser refuses to let me type anything cos got some run time error...god knows wats up with that...been studying the past week or so...tink should be better prepared than last semester tis time round cos actually forced myself to study...hehe...but definitely not as piah when i was in my first year...miss those days when i actually can proudly claim tat i am well prepared...but then again, the results did not reflect the state of preparedness...oh well, juz glad tat i've found some sort of discipline to sit down and hit the stoopid books...

hehe...rewarded meself with a movie for a second time in one week...watched starsky and hutch with gerard, yung, jac, hongying...very cock show...well, it provided ample comic relief, but really cock lar...hahahaha...

check out the 2 cocksters...do it!!

oh oh oh...juz heard a piece of brilliant good news today...my dearest GL and "mummeee", jiamin, is gonna ROM end of next month...so happy for her...so thrilled for her...she and her boy have come a long way...gosh...so nice...i quote her, "its realli a very lovely and wonderful feeling to know you're going to belong to your other half."...tink its so wonderful for her...can feel it for her...i muz say once again even though i have been congratulating her all the way today...my dearest mummeee, may u have a blissful, beautiful and loving marriage!!! your boy is one lucky dude...

time to knock out...muz make the most of the cool weather after the heavy downpour just now...cool weather seems to be a rarity recently...dear blanket, here i come...

2004-04-15T00:40:00.000+08:00

yup...tat's hellboy...very funny, very cock, and at the same time very cool...hmmm, how the hell (pardon my coldness) is it possible for some one to be funny, cock and cool at the same time...juz go watch hellboy...i juz caught it juz now with benson, huat, ailing, maddy, mun and wenlie...quite a fun show to watch...the humour and the special effects...go watch it soon...eh...havin a headache...shan't add to my poor head's burden and pain...signin off for now...

2004-04-14T02:06:00.000+08:00

fwah...juz attended possibly my last tutorial ever in ntu today...oops, yesterday i mean...and i was 45 mins late for it cos i overslept...hahaha...but the bugger of a tutor hasn't started lesson proper yet...in fact he started going thru the tutorial 15 mins after i stepped in to the class...he asked me why i was late and i answered tat i overslept, he insisted tat i say my alarm clock was spoilt, but i still said i overslept...but he still insisted it was the fault of my alarm clock...then the whole class laughed...????!!?? feel so old all of a sudden...3 years of uni life has already flashed past rite before me...has been a fun filled 3 years for me...ups and downs...jam-packed...those still have more undergrad years left in them...pls do enjoy the life u have now...enjoy it while it lasts...kinda have the depressing feeling of leaving already...maybe tats wat spurred me to hit the books in the reading room straight after my lessons without even taiing a nap cos wanna forget tis lingering feeling...haha

encountered a massive blackout juz now while i was studying...seems like the western part of the island actually experienced tat too...quite cool actually...cos every one in hall juz came out of their rooms and started walking around...chatting and telling ghost stories and talking about conspiracy theories of maybe malaysia or even china (cos of the public outrage cos of a prc polytechnic student insulting barks at singaporeans which made most of our blood boil) attacking us thru the tuas 2nd link and cutting off all the electricity lines...haha...oh well, tat was quite nonsensical...then cyalume sticks and lanterns and torchlights and candles lined up the entire hall, forming a pretty bazaar of lights, it was a romantic sight...after all it was a nice break from the cooped-up studying-for-the-impending-exams...still dunno wat caused the blackout yet (though i reckon the reason would be known by tomorrow), but it ws pretty welcomed anyways...

2004-04-13T00:58:00.000+08:00

it was a cold start for me today...walked to school with loot taijie in the morning...was queuing up for pao for breakfast when he walked up to me and told me to hit the pao when i bought it...then it suddenly dawned on me in disbelief that another of his cold jokes hit me again...he told me to da bao (aka, to packet something...in our context, to pack up one of our subjects and fail it...)...think the fella's brain muz be one big freezing, empty cave with icicles jutting out from everywhere and penguins skiing all over...brrr...tat's the third or fourth time he did it within the space of say, 12 hrs...

last nite shared food with my usual footy khakis, benson and huat, again...brilliant idea...we cooked shark's fin soup (those canned ones lar...where got so rich), and clam chowder and tortilla chips with salsa sauce...all these whilst watching a match...haha...pure bliss...

anyways, today was a boring, long, tiring day where was trapped in classes for 6 consecutive hours... almost died...and the sun was not helping...its so blardee humid...seems like someone up there forgot to turn on the air conditioner...too hot, too humid...too sapped to type anything else...

2004-04-11T16:38:00.000+08:00

wah piangz...was drinkin and chillin last nite...alll the way til 9 plus 10 this morning...tat explains why i juz woke up...woke up with a layer of perspiration, yucks...been to blardeee humid for my liking...den now i look outta my room and i see lovely weather, lovely weather to sleep tat is...drats...anyways, time to drag meself up, i guess...

whilst drinking, we were playing arsehole big-2 (pronounced dai dee)...muahahaha...can juz sit down there and play for like eternity...and kudos to the reigning, undisputed world champion of arseholes, ah huat...the most consecutive times being arsehole + most times kena relegated from king to arsehole in one turn...huat the arsehole king!!

all was well and fine until we decided to blast the music upon seeing daylight...a security guard came along and bickered with dehlick...wrong move ar, mr security guard, arguing with dehlick...u can neva out-argue him...and den the security guard lost his cool and started yelling as well...tempers flared...den his supervisor came along and dehlick carried on arguing his case with the supervisor...i dragged the security guard aside and bitched to him about our very own, very irritating resident security guard, tony, and also told the guy tat he should not be so unprofessional and lose his temper so easily...the point is, even when its daylight, u cannot blast music, den one might ask, when exactly is the "safe" time to do anything...seems like anything u do in hall will bound to bring about complaints...sometimes, even if we were juz chatting outside our rooms, we'd get warnings about our volume even though we were chatting in ultra low volumes...being in the notorious group for creating dins, u'd alwaysw get blamed for every and any blardee complaint tat those no-life-low-life-only-know-how-to-sleep-dunno-wat-is-hall-life-zero-tolerance would make to the authorities...wasssup with these people man...there are things in hall that some other residents do that irritate me but i dun go around complaining and telling off about every little thing about them...the key is tolerance...tat's wat communal living is all about...having fun together and living in peace together...i do admit at occasions, we do make some noise, but come on, wat's celebration or a gathering without a little noise...wat fun is there if suppose u were at a party adn u'd have to put a finger at your lips and shhh every now and then...is there no tolerance in these pesky whiners...anyways, if the noise does really affect you, these people can juz come up to us and tell us about it personally, tink we'd be more willing to keep it down if we see a fellow hostelite to come up to us to tell us to keep it down...instead they have to bring in the security at every little instance...the security personnel have to do their jobs and cover their own arses, thus would bugs us and irritate us...worse outcome...anyways, wats the worse thing tat they can punish us with for making noises...evict us from hall? well, if they'd have to evict us for tat, and we know tat certain underwear thief/peeping tom culprit has been allowed to carry on staying in hall with the case being swept under the carpet, wat sort of penalty justification is there... certainly our crimes (if u can call making noise a crime, tat is) are way lesser than underwear-stealing or peeping for tat matter...really says something about our school's screwed-up system...

tis tune comes into mind instantly... "all i wanna do is have some fun..." well done sheryl crow!

fwah...getting very very long-winded...feel like an old man...haha...

2004-04-10T06:04:00.000+08:00

sux man...my beloved spurs juz played like crap and lost 1-3 to a rampaging everton side...seriously, it was our own defensive kamikazes tat dug a hole of no return for us...imagine 3 outta their 4 defenders actually got on the scoresheet whilst our defenders were behaving like clowns...wats more, the scorer of our only goal (easily the best goal of the entire match), who was incidentally our defender too, got sent off 2 minutes after scoring...we were juz constantly shooting at our own feet...darn, its really tough being a spurs fan...today i mourn, but today's not all, we mourn constantly and consistently...how can a side which held and at times outplayed a mighty chelsea side juz 6 days ago turn up playing against a much lesser opposition with complete shambles in their defending...i juz don't understand??!??!?! blimey...

xiao hei , this is definitely a worse feeling than real's defeat cos for u and real, this is a one-off affair whilst mourning for my perpetually under-achieving team has already become part of life...this is a sucky ritual...week in week out you see them play erratic footy - absolutely brilliant at times and totally disastrous at other times...

well...enough of moaning about my poor spurs...life goes on and life goes on for the spurs fan as well...this is my club and i love it dearly...thick and thin i'd go thru with ya, my dear spurs...but blardee hell, can show me a bit more hope...

lemme see...for the past 48 hours...only managed to sleep abt 4 hours in total...went to bed at about 3 the nite before...got "turned out" (army lingo for being dragged out of bed for no reason) by huat, din and eric teo...basket...den didn't sleep all the way til 3 in the noon yesterday... den was woken up by benson for an early dinner cos got liverpool match at 730...alll the way til now, tat is...*yawn*...sleepy...going, going, gone!

2004-04-07T22:14:00.000+08:00

2004-04-07T21:07:00.000+08:00

hmmm... shall observe one minute's silence for a fren in mourning today... xiao hei, steady boh? i know tt u still mourning today... haha... cheer up okie?
.
..
...
....
.....
......
.......
........
.........
..........
...........
alrite, the silence is over... let's kick off... wat was tat all about? hmmm... apparently xiao hei is an avid fan of real madrid and they stumbled in the quarter finals of the champions' league last nite... well, all i can say is tat despite her mourning today, the fact is tat football and determination won both matches played out last nite... monaco had more desire, more grit in their play, they really wanted to win, real on the other hand lacked the heart to win despite their immense talents... in the other match played (which i watched), i wasn't exactly rooting for chelsea cos they actually juz got away with an undeserved victory over my beloved spurs over the last weekend during a league match, but i would definitely not want the old enemy, the arses (if u know which team i'm talking about), to win... it was a cracker of a match, end to end stuff, very technically superb match, and was absolutely smashing to watch, especially with my soccer-watching buds, benson and huat... for a footy fan like me, it was totally brilliant tat i got tio watch such a massive match... in the end, football won for the nite cos it was a showcase of magnificent football and tactics... speaking of which, if chelsea were to let go of such a shrewd manager as claudio ranieri, it'll be their immense loss...

haha...watching the match was definitely worth it, even though i got a big fat quiz the next day and staying up for the match would take its toil on me the next day...tis is the life...i'm easily content, u can see...give me a good footy match, beer and snacks to go with it, and shouting and cheering as the match proceeds (sorry jac, i know u still can hear us from your room... pls forgive us...heee...)... i view tis as one of life's best pleasure...hahaha...the dreaded quiz or any tots of it was immediately thrown out of the window...

hmmm... back to reality...the quiz went all rite cos fortunately, i managed to find a way to do the calculations one way or another... was already very tired after the quiz but still had a discussion after tat... lucky for me, this project group is the one tat i enjoy their company a lot and as usual we crapped thru the discussion and had our fair share of laughs, the best thing was tat we found an empty seminar room and used the computer, projector for oursleves and blasted music while we had our discussion using the classroom's speakers... damn shiok! den we watched the clips of the spoof of the infernal affairs (see entry on Tuesday, March 23, 2004) using the projector... life size...so big...so funny...laughing our guts out.... if u do know wat i'm talking about, pls do try abusing the seminar rooms in skool, its very fun... i know some of the newer rooms even have dvd players in built...imagine a private screening of movies...hehe... *evil grin*

was bushed after the long day i had and the severe lack of sleep... the fatigue finally caught up with and concussed right away once i hit my bed... so nice tat it was raining at the same time... so nice to sleep... but now, the aftermath - of the rain - is irritating me as i type... the whole place is super humid after the downpour...super irritating... oh well...

was watching a show on com juz now... "big fish" starring ewan mcgregor... nice tale... nice story...

its a show tat features a mixture of some bizzare stories... but the whole show is actually about a son trying to learn more about his dying father by reliving stories and myths his father told him about himself and has the underlying meaning about the importance of the role of storytelling in our lives, and has made a film about that importance and the effect it can have on us...stories told verbally perpetuate lives, cultures, families, and loves...and with storytelling comes tat bit of imagination...i guess, imagination is a marvellous thing... it allows one to juz wander off to great things, to dream and dream big...it is fantastic to have a fruitful imagination... lets u forget the mechanics, the slightly bleaker sides of life and lets u focus on the joys of life... good to have, imagination, especially in this era whereby the reality is a dab too grey for my liking... so its another simple pleasure to take some time off, and let your imagination take full control...go try...take off...oh yar, go watch the show too! frens in hall, get it from me soon...if not, i'd delete it already...

2004-04-03T10:55:00.000+08:00

yawn... once again, this lazy dude haven't undated his blog for some time already...things been pretty slow and dull for this dude's life recently...this dude has way too many stuff to study, way too many projects to complete, way too many prasentations to prepare and deliver; and way too many reports to bang-head about and write...imagine gettin writer's block (if u can ever call me a writer) whilst writing a blardee report...now dat's scary...

was drinkin in hall the whole of last nite...actually have mixed feelings about drinkin sessions nowadays... i mean, on the one hand, its a nice time to chill out, relak, tok cock and have a good laugh, enjoying urself...but on the other hand, u have this inevitable feeling that u are bound to see some of your frens getting depressed over some things that's happening in their lives...u can tell from their actions, expressions that they are not okay, but the sad thing is that as a fren, u dun wish to see them upset, but yet u cannot do much to help lift their spirits...i'm not saying that everybody should not be upset, well, everyone has their own right to their own problems...its just that its a stnking feeling of helplessness that u feel when u see sorrow creeping at a time where all are supposed to make merry and u can do nothing to stop the crappy sad feelings from seeping into the crowd...this sucks big time man...but what the heck, apart from this tiny glitch, and oh yar, seems like the bottle of smirnoff we bought was made of blardee inferior glass and i had to be the one whom unwittingly and gently put the bottle down on the floor and the stoopid glass had to break...drats man...tat was some shitty glass...wasted perfectly good vodka due to to crappy glass maufacturers...totally wasted money for tat bottle...yar, apart from these 2 stinkers, i muz say tat the session last nite was enjoyable...the drinks, the lighting, the aircon, the cushioned seats, the music, the whole works...all tehse in our very own hall...guess where...hee...totally have the makings of a nice chill-out hangout...wat a friday chill-out...

guess its back to sleep for me...can still smell alcohol in my breathe...i need sleep...seriously...muahaha...excuses, excuses again dude...

haven't had an entry in the past 3 days... the reason being i've been sleeping, shopping and job searching in the meantime... a partial reason is tat i've been too lazy to do any typing...hee...

went shopping with ahboy, hongying and jac in town last friday...cos we had adidas vouchers to splurge on...hee...well, its been a refreshing day out in town cos haven't been there for quite a long time...nice break from the routine in my cave in NTU...haha...was constantly taunting jac with her mrs fields brownies in my custody along the way, she bought 3 and wanted to bring back 2 to hall, unfortunately, she succumbed to the temptation and only one brownie managed to find its way back to her hall...den hongying brought us to this smal joint down at kiliney road, which served cheap, good food... wat more can one ask for, good food, shopping and a nice day out in town with frens whom u can tok cock with...see how easily content i am...haha...the enjoyable day was, however, also exhausting cos we had to cover great distances as we trekked thru the jungle of shopping centers...not helped by the fact that i was engaged in a totally nonsensical out-irritate-your-opponent battle (where u constantly poke your peer with your fingers in an outright attempt to irritate) with hongying for a monumental time of 15 minutes or so...ok, she outlasted me, but i outsmarted her cos i was intelligent enough to disengage the battle to free my tired arm from more fatigue...i can assure u tat she is very very very irritating...but ok, i muz admit, its a bit fun...nonetheless, i liked this day out...

later tat nite was luppy's birthday celebration...din remember much from tat though except the fact that stoopid tienwei poured water over me from the 3rd floor amidst the celebration and i cannot move cos somebody stepped on my slipper whilst trying to escape the wet assault...i was easy meat for stoopid tienwei...wat a way to treat a bai-kar...some people have no sense of apathy...anyways, after tat fiasco, i went on with a mahjong session which started before the celebrations...sorry lupps, wanted to make u drink with the rest...but the mahjong ended too late...by then u were already dead like a fish...kudos to kit's! haha...

slept thru sat after waking up damn early for the career day thingy...cannot really say it was worth the trip to nanyang audi...but at least left a few resumes with a couple of potential employers...still keeping my fingers crossed...with tat, i came back to my room and did some searching on my own...sent even more resumes online and clicked on any job tat looked like it had any slight potential...man, i was on fire...hehe...really hope to get some replies...got really tired after al those clicking and went straight to bed...

today had been a crappy day too, worrying about my presentation tomorrow...haven't actually completed it and the thought of doing it really irks me...but anyways, i'd forced myself to read thru the stuff and even managed to dig out a case study which would provide , like, 90% of the requirements of the presentation...looks like a little hard work did pay off for me...watched a really good show today though...'runaway jury' was good stuff...the plot was good, the acting was good, the pace was good...the whole show can only be described by one word - yup, u've guessed it, good...go watch it if u haven't caught the show...it doesn't matter if u have read the novel...juz go watch, though i'd always watch the movie and read the book as well...haha...interesting...

hope i finish my stuff soon...already all set to watch the big match tonite...the arses vs the manUres...should be a cracking game...pls, pls, dun disappoint me...

still on the mystery of the cracked egg... my prime suspect denied having done it...but i have a pretty strong hunch abt him being the culprit cos i found incriminating (well, somewhat) evidence later in the nite - found his dirty pot and an egg shell in the sink in the vicinity... muz be my creepy, disgusting neighbour who washes his fish tank in the shower stall and making it black, gross and dirty in the process; he also let a starfish juz dry up on the common stone table outside my room and turn into powder once...in summary he is a blardee irritating, creepy, disgusting freak...oh yar, tis morning he ate at the stone table and left (or should i say, spilled) his leftovers there, well, the crows feeding on the leftovers seemed delighted...

oh well, its lovely weather out there now...shan't let freakish buggers, like the above-described, spoil my day... anyways, did quite a few things on my task list for the day, so still alrite...not a slacker day for me...so can chill for a while now and blog...amazed at the time i woke up tis morning...tink i'd only slept for 3 hours max cos was watching footie last nite...brilliant second half...but seems like its curtains for Ranieri if u noe wat i'm talkin about... haha...

met shan on the way back hall juz now... haven't seen her for some time liao... yes ger, i remember saying wanna meet ya for lunch after i have submitted my FYP (aka Fark-your-project)...okie, mental note to self, call shan up for lunch next week...oh yar, tink i'd promised ahbeng tat too...haha...sorta miss talking to a lot of frens whom i have not met up with for some time... arghhh....muz really make effort to meet up with em more often...miss them a lot...tink one of the best things tat happened to me are my frens...

was lookin at ping's blog...hey, ping an, u not IT idiot mar... not tooo bad mar...haha...tom very farnie...so his name for u is parasite...give him a name as well lar...give him a real sissy name den he'd sure be irritated one...

oh well...goin for yet another recruitment talk liao...when, when will i get a job???

2004-03-25T02:22:00.000+08:00

weee... rotted another day away... din manage to wake up in time for todays tutorial, cos of last nite's round of exhausting mahjong plus i din really prepare much on the readings for the lesson.... juz din feel like doing anything today...feeling super sluggish... dunno why, tot monday was y'day and the blues shd have been gone by now...was cooped up in my room all day and juz layed on the floor watching shows...was so glared by the light outside when kit came back from presumably his lesson and sprung a sneak attack on me, flicking the door open hard and fast tat i got shocked and got too much light in my eyes instantaneously at the same time... stoopid kit

anyways, y'day's basketball session was quite fun, considering the fact tat i haven't handled a basketball for, lemme see now...3 or 4 months already? ahgoh rushed back from IA and played...haven't seen him for some time already...played the game of bang!where essentially we took turns to shoot from the free throw line and the ones who din make their shots would have to stand under the hoop and let the others shoot, risking gettin banged on thy head in the process...darn...tink i got hit the most, not cos i was the lousiest shooter, but cos when its my turn to stand at the execution spot, they got real accurate... and den we played 3-on-3...kinda sian when u cannot reach the ball in time cos u move too slowly...i cannot move fast at all cos dun wanna risk a recurrence on my weak weak injured knee...sigh....

now in the computer room in my hall...cos wanna let my own computer take a breather...been using it and leavin it on for too long already... met korn here but he came and left and came again and left again...actually wanted to read a case study here but really not in the mood...see i'm procrastinating again...so here i am...haha...was reading some stranger's blog and found something interesting...tis gal takes the subject lines of spam and composes poems outta them...here's one i tink is quite cool...

2004-03-22T15:04:00.000+08:00

muahahahaha... today supposed to be a tedious day for me... 6 hours straight of lessons... but somehow, when i checked my skool mail tis mornin, there lied the good news of today's 4 hour seminar in the a'noon has been cancelled! woohooooo! went for the 2 hour lesson in the mornin and was supposed to have a presentation, but only 8 of us turned up for the lesson... chop chop went thru the presentation, cos dun have laptop to show the slides cos the main presentation group (derr and stella liao's) went MIA, stella was actually upstairs in the comlab but din bothered to come down for the lesson, haha... den the stoopid tutor actually chided us (those who bothered to turn up for her zero-value-added lessons), wat a turn off... anyways, she sucked big time and rambling on about her isn't worth the effort... tis class is only interesting cos my group is fun to be with and we all have the same frequency (namely Eddie and Heeren)... we left the class bitching and laughin at the stoopid tutor and the other group's presenter who tried to hard to impress with his corny jokes but failed miserably...

oh yar...fwah, juz finished watching "Enemy at the gates"...smashing show...
"I am a stone. I do not move. Very slowly, I put snow in my mouth, then he won't see my breath. I take my time. I let him come closer. I have only one bullet. I am at his eye. Very gently, my finger presses on the trigger. I do not tremble. I have no fear. I'm a big boy now."
tat's the opening sequence...wah so cool to be a sniper...if only i had perfect eyesight, den i might have been posted as a sniper specialist during army...

but instead i was a recce specialist... dun get me wrong, being a recce spec was damn fun too! damn shiok when u see ppl pass by 1 meter in front of u and they cannot even notice your existence... moreover, we were on our own outfield on missions, so its u, your fellow commander and two troopers, paradise away from regimentation i guess... recce! well, back to the show, it did have some sad undertones though, war is blardeee cruell and totally uncool... peace ppl, peace... hope those irritating terrorists nowadays stop their punk behaviours...severely disrupts world peace man (hmmm, i sound like a pageant contestant, gosh...eeekks)... besides tat, the show was brilliant, loved the part where vasily, the hero, was trapped and being hunted down by the german sniper major and only had an abandoned stove for cover and he made use of scrap glass and sunlight to blind his hunter momentarily and shot his hand in the process...superb sniper duel...

still damn humid, the weather...irritating...forcing me to shower every now and then...arghh...mondays always like tat...dunno why also...its times like tis tat i'd miss diving the most, even though i;ve only been to 2 dive trips so far...the smell of the sea, the clear blue water, the cool n quiet underwater atmosphere, the remarkable underwater view, the fishes, i could go on and on so u noe wat i mean rite? looking forward to tml (or maybe friday), got adidas voucher from working at the adidas sale to go shopping...been very broke nowadays... dunno whether can gather enuff dough to go for the thailand trip in june... for now, juz crossing my fingers and desperately seeking temp as well as fulltime jobs (i'm gonna graduate soon...erm...i hope)... so any openings to intro, anyone?

2004-03-21T22:30:00.000+08:00

yay, the small irritating entries have been removed!

2004-03-21T21:54:00.000+08:00

drats! juz realized tat in my many futile attempts to post a nice nice picture on tis, i actually posted many many small and irritating entries... and i dun seem to be able to get rid if them...oh well...tink juz live with it ba... anyways, can see many more nice pics in my gallery (juz click the link there <----)

juz had dinner with luppy and ahboy, went out to the coffeeshop where the old "ah-fang" used to be located (sports club and sports camp ppl should know this...erm...well, at least the older generations ba)... come to tink of it, met shifeng there juz now... miss the original la-jiao-fan (chilli sauce chicken rice)... the place used to be our fave haunt after late nite meetings...the food, the frenly uncle, the atmosphere...mmm, really miss it man, now wanna re-visit the feel muz go all the way to ubi there (whoever is on, juz jio me!)... remember the last time i was at ubi there was dinner with ahbeng, had chilli crabs den...fwah, cheap, yummy and completely satisfying, where else can find... in retrospect, the dinner i had juz now was so comparatively lacklustre...tasteless kambing soup, overcooked roasted pork rice...sigh...i'm sure luppy would agree with me on tis one...

juz finished my chio chio presentation slides for tml...guess wat, its on Tiger beer...haha...beer, yeah, beer...Tiger beer somemore....wish i have some cool, thirst-quenching beer with me now...confirm shiok!

hmmm...shall reward myself and carry on watching the show i've been watching tis a'noon... "As good as it gets" by Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt

man, the doggie in the show is very very cute...tis show has so far been quite entertaining, interesting...it has simple settings yet brings thru some profoundly interesting notions...an unlikely frenship develops between a romance novelist, a waitress and a gay painter...Jack Nicholson is the novelist who suffers from an obsessive-compulsive disorder, and shows us many tips on how to piss ppl off big time! hehe... "Do you (Jack) have any control over how creepy you can get?" was the classic statment tat Helen Hunt actually used to rant back at his atrocious behaviour...nice show, worth a watch!

so, on with the show...

2004-03-02T02:31:00.000+08:00

well....where should i begin? *yawn* sure is early, considerin tat fact tat i slept abt 4 hours ago...last nite was chill out nite, drinking with huat and derr, tokkin cock... kinda funnny, seems like everytime guys tok cock, somehow we'd end up reminiscing abt our army days, most of the time extracting the most interesting/cock-up/punishing bits... hmmm...actually been tokkin cock with huat since dinnertime, we were comparing our creepy experiences with each other, one story lead to another, wah, actually we had quite a handful of stories of which some were first hand accounts... dunno abt huat, but recounting or listening to him certain incidents sure left me hair standin on their ends...brrr... can actually conclude tat Singapore, despite being such a small place, is teeming with "la sam" (as huat puts it, aka dirty/spooky) areas and instances...places like kranji, sarimbun and even our own hall seemed like the backdrop for horror stories...really, i tell ya, these stories (esp on a cold cold nite like last nite) are bound to send chills down one's spine, well at least they did have an effect on tis scaredy cat... kanchanaburi, thailand - the area tat huat described as the most "la sam" of the whole of thailand cos it was the site of the infamous Death Railway...incidentally, i had my very own hair-raising encounter (something i'd like to call the Casper adventure) there, still haunts me whenever i recall it, shall not elaborate on it or any other stories though, not now, if u (havin read tis) are game for horror stories and wanna hear abt my/our experiences, can always approach us or wait for the next installment (in case i had nothing interesting to post on tis)... but until then..

darn! juz remembered, my beloved SPurs juz got trounced by the stoooppid ManUre... sucks man, sure is tough being an all-out Spurs fan...

been listenin to david tao's "my anata", very cute song to listen to in the morning, esp the beginning... now a new song of his keeps findin its way on my playlist...its called "ji mo de ji jie" (loosely translated as lonely season)... another nice, soothing tune, can check it out...the guy's a genius, i tell ya

tink still way too early leh *yawn again* tink i shall go back to bed... hope i dun get any nitemares...been havin quite a few recently...d'oh!
