After watching the good shepherd and the illutionist, my respect for Matt Damon and Edward Norton has risen up a few notches, Norton has acted many roles which I think not many actors can do, most in my opinion are stuck with one role, say for example Aston Kutcher, Sean Scott Williams and Ben Stiller, all of them are sort of condemned with funny guy roles.

Yet so far the only movie that has impressed me is Turista, a Brazilian movie with a surreal storyline. I am hoping the Prestige will at least match it for after that I will have no more movies on my laptop.

In my opinion, while both sides played cautious football, Manchester United had the more clearer chances to finish off the game and have the FA cup trophy written with their names on it but full credit to Michael Essien who time and time again denied them with last min tackles, no doubt deserving to be the man of the match. I'll bet my last dollar anytime that he will win player of the year or at least African player on the year someday. He is the only player other than John Terry and Petr Cech that I ever will respect in Chelsea. Compared to his fella African counterpart Drogba, a man with stature of 1.9m height frame and at least 80kg, Drogba falls down to ground easier than Kate Moss would if she had been pushed. A few seasons ago Jens Lehnman was my vote of wanker of the year but no doubt in recent years Drogba has been the absolute unanimous choice for wanker of the year.

Rooney had a storm of a game especially when he single handedly ran past the chelsea defenders with ease before last min ditch tackles prevented him from scoring. Just like two years ago when Man Utd played much better football than Arsenal and still lost, they were left to rue their chances when they conceded a sucker punch from Drogba but there is no shame in the way they played and they can hold their chins up high. Another day will come.

Last night's episode of survivor fiji island was interesting. I call it a caught with your pants down moment.

Yau Man who had ealier won a car in a reward challenge a few weeks ago offered to give it to dreamz on the condition that should they still be around at the final challenge and should dreamz win the immunity, he would have to give it to Yau Man instead.

When it came to the final reward challenge, Dreamz did indeed win the immunity and attention shifted to whether he would honour his word. Yet when they went back to camp, he suddenly told everyone that if he were to really give up the immunity to Yau Man he would most probably be the one voted out and started to talk about strategy instead of living up to his word.
When it came to walk the walk, he went back on his word and to add insult to injury, not only did he not give the immunity to Yau Man, he voted him off as well.

When it came to the final voting by the jury, the jury were allowed to ask the final contestants questions before making their decision on their vote. Basically Dreamz was a dead man walking right from the start with everyone accusing him of betrayal and lying throughout the game. True enough survivor is a game where backstabbing is inevitable and majority of winners had to backstab someone to climb to the top. Dreamz argued that in the real world, backstabbing and deceit are just part of life. Fair enought but I bet he did not saw it coming when Boo asked him a simple question. "Dreamz, when you went back on your word and decided not to give the immunity to Yau Man, were you at that point playing the game as a Christian or just part of your strategy? " Dreamz then went on to explain how those two cannot be linked and that the game blah blah blah..... Boo then slammed him by saying that the devil in him had tempted him with money and he was an immature Christian.

I personally believe that if you are a Christian or a believer in any religion, you should live life with honesty and integrity, all the talk about playing it as a game is plain horseshit. If you can't accept it, then don't boast around about how God or Jesus is almighty and Holy, I for one do not subscribe to any religion so if people wan to accuse me of cheating and backstabbing, go ahead, I am not perfect. I find it interesting when Christians like to link all the postives in life to God helping and making it happen but when shit happens there is a long silence. They tend to conviniently block out of the negatives in life and when good things happen, "praise be to the lord". Wankers!!!

Of course this does not apply to all christians quite simply for the layman fact that some christians give themselves a bad name or should I say some people pretend to be Christians for some oblivious reasons, the weatherman might attest to this fact. Case closed.

CHAMPIONS!!!!

I will be perfectly honest to say that today I played poorly by my standards. Bollocks as the British would say. I haven't reached the same standard since playing for Helmi, been playing too much 'relac' football ever since then. Worst of all, my niggling hamstring problem has resurfaced again.

Been watching Championship division one football on tele, I think WBA will be promoted looking at their quality, feel tempted to bet again. Also managed to borrow the autobiography of Ashley Cole from orchard library, interesting to read his opinion of Van Nisterooyl, habits of Rio Ferdinand and Thierry Henry and his version of the tapping up incident. I enjoy reading soccer players biographies because it offers a deeper insight of what acutally goes on behind the scenes in the dressing room and training ground. Ashley Cole offered some clues as to who threw the pizza on Alex Ferguson in the famous Battle Of Buffet at old trafford when we ended their 49 unbeated run. He was gracious not to mention the name but said that it wasn't an Englishman or French so that should narrow it down.

Tmr will be the first day of work. Right now I have the sudden craving to eat tau huey. Oh ya and I found out that the army has called me up again, making it three time I have to go back this holidays, they do really know how to waste tax payers money. Well fuck it for now.

I am pissed off right now because I've just received another msg telling me that I have been called up again on the 27th july at Pasir Ris camp, which means I have to report for reservist twice this holidays on top of my one week ICT in early june. Army damn free, got nothing better to do must call me up to waste my time. Fuck!

Now I have a dilemma, last sun I agreed to play for wengfai team this sun. Then later on I got an email from my cousin regarding my niece's one month birthday this sun, then later on Ben ask me to play for his team this sunday also. Ideally I should play for Ben's team, the match is at Tanglin which makes it closer for me to the lunch at Farrer park, besides the field condition is superb too but then Leung just informed me that including me this sunday there will be only eleven players so technically should I stun him and throw smoke now, there will not be enuff players and I will be a hypocrite. Though its at Jurong, somehow I am more inclined to play for them. Ever since I joined his family team, I have also felt part of his family too. Decision to ponder again.

When all hope seems lost, when all hope seems vague, I have to thank Hoegaarden beer for being there for me always as it is for me now. Damn it, just when I was about to have another sip, Doreen just stunned me wif another mind game sms.....Fuck!

In the end after all the talk I landed up playing for Ben Chen team today, lost to the ACS(i) team 5-2. Chen scored both goals from one on one and a free kick. They had many subs while we only had one and on top of it I couldn't continue the game after I cramped my calf muscle. However I felt that his team had no structure and organisation. I may be responsible for the second and third goal but overall I think my performance was still better than most of his teamates. The defenders beside me gave me a nightmare for most periods of the game, understand that they were last min call up but still..... After so long away from soccer, I was struggling with some of my touches, could see that RongXing was having the same problem. To conclude, Chen u man of the match still la, what are u waiting for, go join the S-League and kelong!

Yes finally Manchester United are itching closer to the EPL trophy. To think a few months ago, Mourinho had the audacity to say that United wouldn't last the race as there was no depth in the squad. Mourinho ah Mourinho, kiang tio ho, mai gei kiang.

Anyway sorry Ben for all the talk on msn, me and Rong Xing deciding not to play for ur team later today in the end. I shy la, scared cock up for ya team, somemore playing against acs school team after three months exile, I sure pangchek. Anyway glad to know u have been playing soccer regulary for ur sunday and Sim team, training under Lee Man Hon somemore. I think next year u can overtake Cristiano Ronaldo for player of the year award. Keep it up!

Before the exams, I promised myself to train hard for the coming IPPT after my exams were done and I did the exact opposite of it. For the past two days, I spent a lot of money in Geylang, no not on that kind but on food food food. Thurs was to catch up with friends and to relax in the swimming club. Yesterday was an impromtu decision to go Geylang and eat tau huey. Then Mr kok suggested going into some laup saab bar which played ah beng techno, it was funny seeing old uncles dancing away and flirting with the xiao jies. I think one of the uncle I saw yesterday is actually my block neighbour, shd have taken his photo and blackmail him. Hahaha. The itinery for next week is also gonna blow a hole in my pocket, shall be going to a lesbian pub and to another laup saab bar in Joo chiat. Venkat, you may be right, the beer might get in my way. I might also try the pub called Lucas which my secondary school fren recommended to me, it is a cantopop pub but with a supposedly "Thai Girl show" environment. And according to him must put tips in their 'chest' when they walk around. Anyone interested to join me juz give me a shout yea.

Next Sunday is my cousin's first born child one month birthday. Welcome to the world Ariel, you r gonna have fun. I bet my whole life u will get brainwashed by my Aunts and prob my Mom to believe In God and Catholism all those stuff. I know how it feels though. But with ur Father and Mother both a dentist, you will grow up smart.

Just had a run and boy am I panting like a dog. The exams totally turned me into a weakling. For the past two months I have either stayed in hall or just travel back home. Today when I went to NTUC to purchase ice-cream, when my turn came to pay up, the cashier stared at me for quite awhile. I looked at the auntie and I was thinking in my head what did I do. It turned out that she was expecting me to pass her a plastic bag to put in my goods otherwise I would have to make a 'donation' before NTUC would use their plastic bags. That is how long I have been out of touch with reality. This is part of a plan to encourage Singaporeans to recycle plastic bags and reduce plastic bags wastage. I totally forgot about it even though I read about it in the newspapers. I readily support the move, shall have to bring my own cloth bag along from now on.

Earlier today Shujing mentioned that my face look very pale and white. I agree with her, no I am not sick, I have been hibernating in my room for the past two months and haven't been under the sunlight for more than 30mins straight. Gone are the days when I played soccer regularly and had to put sunblock lotion to avoid becoming chao ta. Now I have to bask in the sun to look like a normal person. While bathing today I looked into the mirror and examined my arms and skin, I look like a fucking white chicken. From tmr onwards, I shall embrace the lovely sunlight!

News just came in, Kangli caught my neighbour (the very wuss one) bringing a china girl into his room and then off the light. Guess he needed to relive stress. He looks like a nerd and doesn't look like those kind. I suppose what Kim Hock say is true, people who talk about sex openly are the normal ones. Those who look very innocent are the ones that are actually very hiong. But I now abit scared of my neighbour. While walking to put my stuff in Cheewee room today, I turned behind and caught him spying on me then he pretend not to see me and quicly walk away. Dun noe what he up to acting so weird, thank God I now move home. Kangli wish u gd luck, "lock" the door properly tonite.

Finally after today I have left just one more paper to go on wed. I feel so happy as the papers go by. I have oreadi drafted in my mind plans to celebrate the end of exams. Thurs when I go home, I am going to buy choco mint ice cream, milo and lots of potato chips. I will then go either Attar or chomp chomp for supper. Miss the hokkien mee and sambal stingray there. Fri I will go Holland V or clark quay and cheong the night away. Sat I shall pay a long overdued visit to the national library and along the way shop for clubbing clothes. Yea its been a long time since I check out the clubbing scene and its high time to start during the holidays. For now, I shall take a nap, last night only slept 3hrs to prepare for today's paper. Nitez everyone.

Glory Glory Man Utd,
Glory Glory Man Utd,
Glory Glory man Utd,
and the reds goes marching on on on!

A few hours back, I caught the most awesome kelong match ever seen so far after the AC Milan-Liverpool 2005 champions league final. Yes that is my favourite team Manchester United vs Everton. They were down 2-0 but fought back to win 4-2. It was a cosy ride the moment the goalkeeper turner spilled the ball nicely for O-Shea to tap in the first goal for United. I know its his first game for Everton but no one was putting pressure on him and yet he easily 'swee swee' drop the ball nicely for O-Shea. Eating money ah Turner. The second goal was even nicer, a scramble in the penalty box led to ex-Man Utd player Phil Neville to somehow clear the ball into the Everton net. From that angle, even my mother would have decently cleared the ball away better but what to do, as an ex Man Utd player, I am not surprised after the game his brother Gary Neville and Alex Ferguson give him a big ang pow. Not a bad deal, help Manchester United win the game and Premiership title and share the prize money. From then on, there was only going to be one winner with Rooney and Eagles rounding up the score. Great fightback from a soccer fan perspective but bad acting today from the Everton players, want to kelong also must put up a better show mah.

To Chelsea and Mourinho who earlier this season mentioned that United wouldn't last the pace, eat ur words and jerk off ur wankies in Stamford bridge.

Anyway check out this link Daniel send me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wk51lfLfIQ

This week I lost a bit of my discipline, I ended up playing poker on tues and yesterday night. But not bad I won about 18 bucks. Just awhile ago I lost the discipline again but this time I won 54bucks. Thanks Yixin for bringing luck to me, muz call u down sit by my side next time again. Sorry Mr Kok I will treat u to milo peng when u come back.

I decided to reward myself with spaghetti for dinner. Initially I boycotted the western stall at can 13 because his portion is getting smaller and smaller compared to last sem. Today after they made me wait for 20min, I have thus decided to add the western stall to my list of condemned stalls together with the vietnamese. They make me wait, I make them wait long long for me to buy food from them.

Back to mugging.....

Last night's game against AC Milan for me has entered alongside my all time favourite United games.

1) 1999 champions league final against Bayern Munich 2-1
2) 1999 2nd leg game against juventus 3-2
3) 1999 2nd game replay against Arsenal 2-1
4) 1999 3rd Round Fa Cup against Liverpool 2-1
5) 2004 League Match against Arsenal 2-0 ( Ended Arsenal 49 winning game streak)
6) 2005 League Match against Chelsea 1-0
7) 2007 Champions league semi final against AC Milan 3-2
8) 2003 Champions league quarterfinal against Real Madrid 4-3

The game deserves special praise because Manchester United played well with a makeshift fringe defence against a very technical Milan side. Henize did well in the absence of Vidic and Ferdinand while Fletcher somehow seems to shine in Midfield centre. And of course Rooney for a superb performance. Scholes and Carrick held the forte well and it was also an honour to see Kaka play with such elegance. Nesta also treated everyone with an eye display of what world class defending is about.

Of course the 3rd goal which Rooney scored one and a half min into stoppage time looks very suspicious to me. With 30 more seconds to go, the Milan player should have pumped the ball into the corner to waste time. Afterall they had a 2 away goal advantage but instead the defender who I think was Otto or Janvuloski swee swee fall down and "pass" the ball to Ryan Gigss who then went on his run to release the ball to Rooney and score the winner. Dida an experienced Goalkeeper who should have covered his angle to the post also swee swee stand in the centre and if to invite Rooneyto shoot into the far corner of the goal which he did. During the game and after there were so many hi-fives between both team players and I am not surprised that the Italians have(as usual) eaten the bookies money again.

I think I shoud be an ESPN pundit.

I read with great interest about the article regarding kelong in Singapore soccer in yesterday's Sunday times. A player reported that an S-league player offered him $8000 to get himself sent off. Ex-bookies revealed tactics on how they lured soccer players into fixing a match. The whole kelong business in soccer though not transparant is pretty obvious in my eyes. Last min dramatic goals are the norm in S-league nowdays, defenders who should and normally easily clear the last ditch balls somehow miskick it to the opponents. Vague effort is made to tackle or close down the attackers and it seem to me that it their minds they are trying to say to their opponent "quickly score la, I already make the path so easy for you, you want us to earn the money anot"

I don't blame the soccer players for taking bribes. The average age a player has to retire is prob about 34. Afterwhich he retires what else can he do for a living? Malays form the majority of the players and lets not kid ourself, almost all of them do not have education higher than ITE. They come from poor families( usually large ones). The easiest way out for them is to throw a game and use that extra income to feed their families.

If I had honed my skills when I was in primary school I might have made the grade to become an S-league player. I would definitely throw away matches and bet through my friends. Ben Chen, ur skills not bad, you should give it a try and if you make it pls let me know, I will fix matches through you.

3 papers down 3 more to go...

I was checking my IPPT results which I took last june on the ns portal.

Situps - 40 (5pts)
Broad Jump -234 (4pts)
Shuttle Run -9.7s (5pts)
Pullup -12 (5pts)
2.4km run -10.56 (4pts)

Overall - Silver

Basically the only thing standing in my way for gold and $400 is the 2.4km run which has to be run under 9min45s. For the past two weeks, I have starting running the 199 and 179 route to condition myself. After my last paper on the 2nd may, I will begin an intensive running and swimming programme everyday and hopefully by june I can be ready for IPPT. I think the last time I ever did such a crazy programme to train fitness was in secondary 3 when I was preparing for the national youth taekwondo tournament. I remember running every single day and doing drills which almost made me close to vomiting. My instructor was a psycho and his mantra was simple, when you puke it means u have given 100% effort, otherwise if not u must continue training until u puke. Glad I am now in a more civilised environment.

If anyone wants to take IPPT let me noe. I will be taking with Zhan Rui at the end of May.

Wish me luck folks! And all the best for the exams to everyone!

So the titanic battle is set for the 19th of may when Manchester United faces Chelsea in the FA cup final. On top of that, both sides could possibly face each other in the champions league final. There is also the premiership encounter on may 9 when United travels to stamford bridge.

Througout the season, many people have tipped Man Utd for the treble. Of course with so much hype, United could also easily lose the plot and win nothing at all in the end. Even if they were to end the season empty handed, they would still get my respect and support for the breathtaking displays they have put in this season. Compared to Chelsea's squad, United's squad look meagre in comparison and it will be sweeter if Manchester United fridge squad can beat them in the trophy's hunt. Manchester United have battled the odds this season, Ronaldo fighting the boo boo boys, Ryan Giggs and Scholes showing that they still have the hunger, Alan Smith showing his fighing dog spirit etc. In terms of depth, balance and money budget, Manchester United are winners in my eyes already this season. People talk about Ronaldo and Rooney but for me, the player for this season is Nemanja Vidic, no nonsense defending from him. His absence have shown in the last few matches and the next few matches will determine how badly they will miss him. I wish him a speedy recovery.

Back to moment area and virtual deflection. Damn can't wait for the exams to end.

While taking a break in between studying, I went to youtube to search for the videoclips of the recent Asean federation cup semi-final match between Singapore and Malaysia. Singapore drew that match and later went on to win on penalties. On closer look and replay, I noticed a few keilong moments. When Shi Jiayi took his kick, the ball went directly to the Malaysian keeper but somehow the keeper punched the ball backwards into the net. Afterwhich he sat down and smiled. When Jiayi jogged back, Alam Shah was pointing his finger at him as if to say "lucky the keeper help you punch the ball in otherwise today we cannnot get our money". It is simple mechanics, when the ball strikes towards your hand, the ball will rebound back, but in this case the ball went backwards in the net. There was also an instance when Alam Shah high fived with the Malaysian keeper. I couldn't believe that it was so friendly considering the rivalry we have.

Finally, when Malaysia took the last penalty, the kicker took a tame shot and Lionel Lewis saved the kick which enabled Singapore to win. The Malaysian captain put his arms around the player who missed the last kick and was smiling away. I can't see how a team captain can smile after a loss unless he has money in the pocket given by someone to throw the game. U gotta watch it to believe it.

Those were the glory days

A new era, a new treble dream

Early this morning, I caught the champions league game between Manchester United and Roma. Man Utd fashionably whacked Roma 7 goals in style. They were aggressive right from the start closing Roma down quickly and challenging for every ball. Heinze and brown played magnificently well in defence and credit to Rooney, Smith, Ronaldo and Carrick too. It was a night were passes were pin point and shooting was accurate. It ranks up together with the nights where United beat Real Madrid 4-3 at home.

But the score also represents a night of 'kelong' in soccer. 7-1? Total goals 8, I wonder how much the payout is. After the whistle, the Roma players must have been gleaming with joy inside their hearts. I always knew Manchester United would win the 2nd leg, esp after I saw Paul Scholes dying to get a red card in the first leg. Barely 30min into the first game, Scholes was ferociously tackling players as if he wanted to get send off. He must have known that the 2nd leg will be bribed in favour of United otherwise why would he want to miss the 2nd leg. Since he knew United would win last night, he therefore got a red card to clear off his suspension.

Also, Chelsea won 2-1 last night thanks to a last min goal from essien. Too good to be true? U bet. God knows how much money the goalkeeper and defenders took from Abramovich. Soccer today is sadly all about money. It is no longer a sport but a movie entertainment. Fifa does not control the soccer world, Ladbrokes live betting is the new Fifa. What a superficial world we live in again.

While sending my clothes to the laundry, I saw a paper pasted on the wall written by somebody which said "To the person who throw his clothes into the washing machine while my clothes were still being washed, you are an inconsiderate person...blah blah.....if you want your clothes back pls come to room blah blah..." I applaud the person who wrote that, he is standing up for many people who have experienced the same problem and it is about time these incorrigible idiots learn a lesson. If such a thing ever happened to me, I would probably throw the clothes in the rubbish bin.

At lunch today, I was thinking back over the years and the friends that I have made. I am proud to say that I had the opportunity to come across many good friends in secondary school, JC, army and NTU. But sadly I also had to come across a few friends that should time ever turn back, I would not want to know them again.

I would like to mention a friend in particular. Some of you might know him and he might read this but to each his own. I shall call him Mr weather because he acts like the weather, when the weather is good in your house he comes to visit you, when it isn't he steers clear of you.

Mr weather is a practical person who believes that money is everything. I give it to Mr weather for having an ambition is life and the amount of effort he puts in to achieve his goals. But what I detest is the way he treats people around him. I remember when Mr weather had an injury to his leg, some people had the heart to help him, driving him around, buying back meals from the canteen. Yet somehow, weatherman did not say a word of thanks to them when he recovered. Somehow everything was forgotten.

Mr weather also likes to boast about his wealth in front of people esp girls. But if my memory serves me correctly, being a friend of his for about two years, he did not even buy me a cup of tea or milo. Speaking of girls, he even went to Church for a gal but when the relationship was over, even God was omitted from his plan. I feel sorry for the girls sometimes, they see one side of weatherman but not the other. I believe that when you like someone, you should accept that person for his/her bad points and not only the good and if you can accept the bad, you can go all the way.

Mr weather once wanted to invest in a business plan and suddenly he started calling his friends around him his 'brothers'. Once again, when all was over and done with, everyone was divorced again.

I find Mr weather very superficial, coming to you only when he needs help or want things to be done. Yes we all use other people in someway but we at least treat our friend to a meal or drink. For all the money Mr weather boast he has, it is an irony that I did not had the luxury of a treat. I know first hand of a few others who have experienced the same problem with Mr weather and many have washed their hands clean on him. I think back on whether it was because of something wrong that I did before to deserve this karma and if that is the case, there is nothing I can do about, otherwise I wish that had circumstances in the past be different, I wouldn't want to know the weatherman again. Mr weather may go far in life next time but I wouldn't be the least bothered, he will never ever earn my respect. As far as I am concern, my 'friendship' with Mr weather was over long time ago and I do not wish to be associated with his name again.

To my friends, when the weatherman comes to visit you, I advice you to wear the correct clothes.

Leeds United are finally out of the relegation zone. Hooray!

A few hours ago I caught the repeat of champions league highlights. There was of course the ugly footage of Manchester United fans being assaulted by the Italian police. Naive people will easily say that it is typical of British fans to behave in unruly behaviour and therefore deserve it. But upon looking at the replay, it seemed that while both sides of fans were taunting each other, only the English fans got the beatings. Women and children were not spared and an eye witness said that a disabled man was beaten. Even when the United fans were on the ground and not being a threat, the Italian police continued to whack them. A female fan filming the scene had her camera confiscated. Thankfully sky sports managed to film the scenes down.

So as usual, both sides have pointed the finger at each other. As for myself, I have this to say about the Italians. Italian people are by far the most racist and fucked up human beings. For the ignorant, black players in the Italian Serie A are often verbally abused by opposition players and fans. Monkey taunts and gestures are often belted out at them. At the 2002 world cup, when Ang Jhun Hwang's header knocked Italy out, Perugia immediately sacked the player in the same week. In Europe, most developed nations have integrated black players in their national squad. As for Italy, throughout history till now, there has not been a single black player in the squad. One wonders how many Negros have Italian citizenship's.

Sure, Italians may be proud of their heritage and national identity, but in a country where crime, racism, mafia and corruption is so prevalent, it makes me doubt whether Roman Catholicism is really the national religion. Italy is predominantly a catholic country, the Vatican headquarters is located in Turin, people regularly go to church on sundays to pray and seek forgiveness but somehow come mondays to saturdays, it seems that they are allowed to switch off and do whatever shit they want.

I hope justice prevails, I hope Manchester United will beat Roma next wednesday and should Roma fans get injured in a riot, well as Catholics themselves, may they forgive the Man United fans.

In a few decades, what is now happening to the polar bears will very soon happen to us. Polar bears today are facing extinction because of global warming, where high temperatures are causing ice-bergs to melt which means that polar bears will have nothing to float on. I feel sorry for animals. They haven't done really anything wrong to us yet we have fuck up their lives so badly. The feeling is akin to someone accusing you of committing something you didn't even do at all. You were not involved yet somehow involuntarily dragged into the situation. So with due respect to animals, I really feel sorry for them for the shit we have given them.

It is not as if global warming isn't a known fact, in fact it has been publicised in the newspaper regularly. Yet politicians choose to settle other layman issues first. I don't think the current situation will ever change and by the time people should start to panic, it will be too late by then.

I was backstabbed so hard and I didn't even know it. Worst of all I was backstabbed by someone who acted so friendly towards me that I never even suspected it at all. I am pissed because one small issue was blown out of proportion by people who have used my situation for their own benefits.

My message is simple. If you wanna threaten me, go ahead and threaten me. I have never feared anyone and I certainly won't back away from any fight. Bring it on. If u wanna talk the walk, u better walk the talk. More details to be updated on my brother blog.

I was having a peaceful sleep, well not exactly peaceful because I dreamt that I was at the airport about to leave for Brunei for my reservist. But anyway my sister called me at 11 45am, I couldn't make out what she was saying because I was still in lala land so she said "u still sleeping ah? Nvm I tok to Dad. " It turns out that there will be a Francis Yip concert in Hong Kong later this month and she asked my Dad if he wanted tickets. At lunch my father told my mother about it and they both agreed to go. My mom asked for the ticket price and my dad said 450 singapore dollars each. My goodness, I cannot believe that my father would actually request to buy the most expensive ticket. $450 I would rather wait for the Dvd to come out, spend the remaining money on shark's fin, abalone and even wage it on Toto.

Over the weekend, I only did one tutorial. I am still trying to motivate myself for the exams but can't seem to find the motivation to do so. I need coffee!

A few months back, Kangli read an article that highlighted the health benefits of eating pineapples. Ever since then he has been acting strange. He behaves like a monkey and a retard at times and I think his crankiness can be attributed to the pineapples. So people pls abstain from it.

On my way up to my room, I saw Wilfred and he was wet all over. I thought he went for a run but it turned out that he was 'pon' at the nie pond and it wasn't his birthday, the reason was because in his four years here he had never been 'pon' so today was his day. Well done mate!

Today at tea-break, Kangli went to be a hero and ordered noodles from the vietnamese stall and he was whining when he found out that the aunty put ketchup in his soup. Seriously, who in the right frame of mind puts ketchup in soup? I really feel that the vietnamese pricks have a break down in their logical thinking. Last time I told them not to put chong they defied me and say must must, good! I can't wait for them to close down.

Afterwhich I went to play soccer and I am now regretting that decision for I made my hamstring injury worst. Thinking back, my mother was right when she discouraged me from playing soccer in primary school. To her soccer is a game where boys run around aimlessly, get themselves injured and dirty. But deep down, I knew she didn't like the idea of me mixing with Malays. My mother and relatives have this assumption that soccer=Malay=Never study=EM3.
To a certain extent, she was right about that. As they say, Mommy knows best. As for now, I am in pain right now, wish I could have a beer and numb the pain.

Yes, I decided to give my blog a face-lift, he deserves it anyway. Also, I created a brother blog for him. His brother will contain only juicy details, scandals and bad-mouthing while this blog will continue to remain family orientated. I know the layout of this blog is similar to Kangli's and I admit it is a bit gay but that monkey refuses to change it. I guess nothing comes without a price.

The past few days have been so humid I am practically sweating everyday. Now, my decision to go over to hall 16 for the air-con is made simpler. I think I shall cut my hair this friday, at least it will make my head cooler. Was thinking of leaving it long like the Italian midfielder Andrea Pirlo but I have to admit I look like a cock with long hair. I kinda like my current armani spike crop.

I am hungry. A hungry Parry is not a happy Parry.

I should have seize the opportunity today,
but I didn't,
instead I let my pride rule over my head,
and I know that one day,
I will live to regret it

I hate to live life with regrets. I have been thinking for a long time about what would happen if one day should the higher beings come and tell me that tomorrow will be my last day on Earth. What should I do for my last day then?

One thing for sure, I would defintely say goodbye to my friends and parents, probably throw a party and have some booze. I will make a trip down to a chinese restaurant and wolf down abalone, crabs and shark's fin soup.

My only regret would be that I was never able to see the seven natural wonders of the world. I certainly wouldn't want to depart from this world without travelling around the world to experience the cultures and see our beautiful Earth.

I need money!

I don't know why but I have this sudden urge to go clubbing. On a positive note, I am proud to say I have abstained from alcohol for a month plus.

Looking through my cupboard earlier today, I realised that I have alot of clothes bought but have yet to wear. I think I am an implusive buyer, buying stuff that I like on the spot but not in need of.

Well whatever.

Today is the official last day of playing poker in hall for this sem. Bo bian, exams coming muz study. Overall I think i might have won a few bucks. I was so happy last night as I finally got my first straight flush of my poker career. My roomie Yip Kangli aka Monkey probably lost 40 over bucks. Sorry man for dragging u to play with us but hey juz remember, Winners don't quit, quitters don't win. Even Yan Fei lost before until he strip naked, haha.

Went to catch the movie 300 today and it was pretty alright, admire the guts these people have in the face of adversity.

Recently my morale is a bit down. I was chatting with Magdalene last night and she thought I was in year 3. A few weeks back, someone also thought I was in year 3. Another person last year thought I was in year 4. Damn it, I can't be looking that old right? I asked my good friend from Army to tell me the truth and he said I look a bit old too. Shit! Let me officially declare it, I am a YEAR 2 student, still young and sweet.

Next week is gonna be a mugging week to prepare for the quiz, I hope I can pull throught. Tech comm presentation is also next monday, I really pray that Mr A as Kangli calls him don't fuck up his part or I might bring him to the crocodile farm near my house and throw him in.

Till then Kopi Siew Dai out.

Another reason why racism still exists today. Muz be the Indians again.

The sub-com appreciation dinner last night was fantastic especially since the food was delicious and free! It was also a night to honour residents who performed well in the inter hall recreational and sports games. For the final year students, it was also a farewell to them. I think John gave a very good and inspirational speech. And of course cheers to the unofficial sportsman of the year, Ow Yong Wengfai!

The past few days have been really humid for me, as I lie in bed trying to sleep everynight, I am really tempted to apply for hall 16 next sem to enjoy the air-con. Then again its really hard to change hall after knowing great people around.

As for Kangli, getting scandalous ah, wish you good luck in chasing dumb blonde.

The saying shit happens rang so true to me today when I went for the west side selection. Playing only ten mins and barely touching the ball much, I pulled my hamstring while running back from a corner. Ok la my fault for not warming up before hand, was playing poker in my room before that and won 10 bucks! Anyway the standard for the west side is kinda of poor in my opinion, a lot of players whom I thought were very deserving of a place in the squad didn't turn up, which should have made my stake for a place even easier until that injury. Watching the whole match, I have no doubt I would have made it inside if shit didn't happen. No sour grapes though, I guess what comes around goes around.

After two weeks of playing poker, I have begun to believe that what I have watched on Tv is in fact really possible. I used to think that the straight flushes and Full house that Chow Yun Fatt or Li Nanxing got was all make believe, but after getting full house myself for a total of three times, I declare that it is a reality. Also after seeing Kay Wee win 28 dollars in his first two games, I also believe in beginner's luck.

Oh no I am getting addicted. Fuck.

I can't explain why my performance today was so shaky. By my standards, I should have been more composed. Thankfully the team isn't those that make so much noise whenever one makes a mistake. I think that is why I have begun to love this team, great team spirit around and esp great fighters. Uncle Joey last week knocked a teeth out from a opponent when the opponent tackled him from behind and give the guai lan bin after that. Lucky Uncle Joey is my team mate and not my opponent.

My lack of fitness really showed today and I am now considering whether I should still go for the inter-hall soccer east vs west selection this friday. I wouldn't want to embarass the hall and furthermore the trainings should be quite shag. Tohari Paijan is supposely conducting the trainings and liasing a session for those selected to train together with the Gombak team. I suppose for our area the standard should be easier as compared to the other side comprising of hall 6, 7 , both finalist. Whatever the case, there should be at least two matches to play so I suppose I'll just take it as playing two free matches. Good luck to myself for this friday!

At this moment, I am kinda of pissed off because of one group member in my tech comm project. In short, he is a son of a bitch. I can't see how someone can be so bo chap in project discussions. He can keep silent throughout the whole meeting and unless prompted, he will not say a single word. He does not take a single initiative to even organise anything and doesn't seem worried about deadlines. It pisses me after even further when we give him simple tasks and without even checking, he can straight away reply dunno. Well done la bro, i wish u good luck la. I just send an email to our tutor to shoot u liao, I will fucking bring u down.

Lucky for the past three nights, I won 20 over bucks from black jack and poker so at least my mood isn't that bad yet.

Ten years ago, I was in shorts sitting in a classroom with 40 other kids conforming to the Singaporean way of life. Playing soccer, hanging out at arcades playing marvel superheroes and wearing Alien workshop attire.

Ten years from now, I just cannot paint a picture.

My back hurts and its due to bad sleeping posture. The recess week begins and it is another stark reminder that exams are gonna be near soon. I hate this sem big time because of tech com. Project meetings are a waste of time and the project is more time consuming than my core modules. I still haven't decided what to do next week apart from playing catch up with my tutorials. And while I thought I could get some peace at home, my mother invited my relatives to our house for dinner later, which means I have to entertain my Aunts and Uncle who try to engage in "young generation" talk which they have no oblivious idea about. Sometimes I feel that my relatives ask questions and generate talk for the sake of creating some buzz and noise. And it always ends up in asking me to go to church and pray to God. I don't know what I have to do to get the idea across their heads that I will NEVER EVER convert to being a wanker. It has been over ten years and they never get tired of trying to brainwash me. They think that they are my saviour and will liberate me from my shell. I think that they are just trying to score points only. Bunch of wankers!

Anyway Happy Lunar New Year nonetheless.

Having watched finished hotel rwanda, I defintely aprreciate the comfort and safety that I have enjoyed so far. To me, the movie proves a couple of points, that every action brings about an impact, like the red cross lady who went the extra effort to locate the niece and re-unite them with their relatives. Crazy dictators can really screw up the whole country and the rest of the world can do their part to help the poor but in the interest of themselves choose not to. Of course, the western powers are not always obliged to save the world and have to protect their own soldiers, but selling weapons to rebels and militia doesn't really aid peace. At the start of the show, Don Cheadle pleads with the reporter to report the chaos to the world but sadly the reporter replys " so what if the Europeans see this? They will pause for a second and shake their heads in pity but after that second, they will continue eating their cereals and read newspaper".

I admit that I am guilty of that sometimes, reading about peoples' plight and think in my head why has the world come to this and after awhile, the thoughts vanish and I get back to chasing materialistic dreams. Why doesn't God help the people that really needs help, does he really want to test the rest of us to see if we will lend a hand to the needy? I am sure people in first world countries pray for peace but what about those people in third world countries who pray for peace? Where do their prayers fall on? Does God listen to prayers selectively? Is it more beneficial to pray for world peace every single night or is it better to get one's ass down to help out physically? If one's son is naughty the parent usually gets the blame for not taking him in hand. If the world is in chaos who gets the blame then?

It was a pretty close encounter today and sadly we had to be eliminated by penalty shootout. We took the lead first with a try by Adam but slack defending allowed them to equalise. Afterwhich we held on even till sudden death extra time. In the penalty shootout, only Adam managed to covert a goal. By the fifth kick, hall 2 led us by a goal so me being the fifth kicker had to covert it to keep the game alive. It is the first time I have ever taken a drop kick but when it left my foot I was confident it would go in. Sad to say, it hit the crossbar and we lost. Not that I felt like Roberto Baggio, in fact I was proud that my kick was the best after Adam, at least it was near on target. Andy missed by a bit while Harith also screwed up his kick. Hengkia better, miss the ball totally. Lucky ref give him one more chance which fell short off target again. Ok la, at least we held our heads up high.

I hate it when every module decides to hold their respective quiz on the same week and worst of all the same day. So far 4 quizzes have been confirmed and others still pending. Totally spoils my chinese new year mood. Anyway my sister will be back for reunion dinner and hopefully she brings back some goodies from Hong Kong for me to munch.

Also I have decided not to take anymore ang pow from my cousins who are already married. Feels kinda of weird that we are of the same 'rank' and yet still receiving ang pow from them. Wasn't it not too long ago when we still played catching and silly stuff together? Damn it looking at my niece makes me feel old oreadi. Shit!

I still haven't really warmed up to this semester yet, yes I know its week 5 liao but honestly I am still in dec holidays withdrawal mode, totally miss those heck care days. My time-table sucks big time with tues, weds and fri having lessons at 830am. Somemore with tech-com involving project work and idiots not contributing and on the other hand EID project so simple yet made so complicated by the china guy, I can't help but feel sick of this sem, hope this sem finishes soon.

At lunch today, I was telling my parents about getting a job after graduation. I said not to worry, the future looks bright, after graduation, I will start a charitable organisation or self help social organisation. The plan is simple, cheat the public of their money and bankroll all the money myself.

Also last night, I managed to watch the Spore vs Malaysia game at the national stadium. The atmosphere was great with 55000 spectators in the stands. I wonder how it feels like in Barcelona's stadium. More importantly, we beat our neighbours on penalties. Yet somehow, it didn't feel like the Malaysia cup days when my father brought me to watch when I was young, gone are the likes of Fandi, Abbas, Sundram, Lim Tong Hai and Malek. A new generation has taken over. The stadium is gonna be torn down later this year to make way for the new one and so will the memories of what my father experienced when he was a teenanger and what I had experienced as a small boy.

Blood diamond is a fantastic show, definitely two thumbs up. What drugs was to the movie traffic, this is what diamond trafficking is to blood diamond. I have also comed to respect Leonardo Di Carpio as an actor, of lately, I am impressed with the shows he has acted in.

Last week, a casual chat with my neighbour, yes the wussies I mentioned last time, I found out that we share many common interest ranging from the movies we like and especially the drama series lost. According to him, the explanation and the mystery may boil down to a book which the character Sawyer read in season one. The title is watership down written by Richard Adams. It is a psychological test based on rabbits where they are placed on an island with food and shelter being provided by farmers. The catch is that the rabbits know they are being pampered by the farmers so that they can be killed for their meat. However it explores the possibility that some rabbits are relunctant to escape and fend for themsevles. That was roughly what happen in season one when Sayid opposed moving into the jungle on Jack's idea. Sounds pretty interesting, shall search for the book this weekend.

First and foremost, a very big thank you to all those who came down to support sepak takraw today, you people really made a difference tonight. It is the first time I have seen so many people down to support a sport in Hall 12. Good job Wengfai! Special thanks to Cheewee also for wishing me so much luck on msn too.

From the day I played the 2nd game in the preliminary rounds, I never expected to enter the semis. I think the reason why many of us feel so gutted after losing today is because we are the true underdogs in the whole tournament, many of us are new to takraw, we do not have any star players and we entered the semis through sheer hard work.

Playing the deciding game was definitely pressuring, especially since we went down 6-0 in the first set and fought back to 20-18. Needing just a point to win the first set, we kinda self destruct to lose 22-20. I felt confident in the first set esp since I scored quite a few pts. But 2nd set, I totally fuck up big time, dunno wat the hell I played. Not surprising we lost overall. However it has been a great experience and I have no regrets waking up early for matches and training in the late night.

Only 1 more dream is left, RUGBY!!!

I had a poor game today, passing was bad and crossing was lousy. It was no surprise that at half time we were 3-0 down. Helmi wasn't happy and demanded a pressing game for the 2nd half and it worked, we pressed the opponents and took the game to them winning 6-3. There were three new players, Joe, a former Geylang and Balestier prime league player, Farleh, Hazid's brother also another Balestier prime league player. The third was Akrab, pretty impressive as well. At this rate, I would have to buck up real soon with the growing competition even though we practise squad rotation. At least from today's game , I learnt from Joe postioning and closing down of wingers as a full back. I think it will take awhile for me to adjust back to the team's playing style from the more easier relaxed inter-hall games.

Oh man school starts tomorrow.

Once again, we choked during the final part of the game today. With 8min more to go, our keeper mishandled a simple high ball and punched it into our own net. Into extra-time, a simple bounce which the keeper shd have comed to out to take led to a mis-communication btw him and Lee Chang which allowed the hall 2 striker to pounce on the mistake and score the golden goal. This is the 2nd time whereby we have taken the lead and lost the game at the end.

I am proud to say I performed my role in this tournament well, at the very least none of the goals conceded could be attributed to me. I am disgusted to say some pple have let the team down. James for not coming down for stupid reasons, Weiliang for fucking up some simple balls, Alan Smith for drinking the nite b4 and having to sub himself out with a few min more to go, yea I bet the real Alan Smith would be proud to know that, so much so for calling urself Alan Smith, Kok Liang for complaining tireness after barely playing 10min. Its a total letdown to me, Hengkia, Chang, Joel, Liao and Ivan when we put in a gutsy display only to be letdown in this manner.

I know I wasn't showing much respect when I refused to take the team photo after the game but thats me, I hate to lose and I still can't understand till this day how some people can still smile and laugh after losing, it says alot about character.

Guess team sports ain't for me.

In a few hrs time, I will be out there in the field playing rugby, or is it ploughing the muddy field. At times I wonder why the fuck I am doing this. Is it really for the passion or for pride. Does it really outweigh the benefits of working or spending time with my family? It has kept me thinking this whole month. And boy am I sick again, really regretted playing the friendly on wed, it has left me with bad cuts on my left leg and a flu.

Year 2006 draws to an end and reflecting back on the year, it has been alright for me. Feeling pretty moody now becoz of a couple of things, a few incidents have made me pissed off this week. Hope that 2007 will be a much happier year for me.

Today I made my debut for sepak takraw. We won overall 2-1 and I also started my first fight in inter-hall. Ok la it was a small one and thinking about it, I also dunno what went in my head just now. Apparantly the opp leg had pivoted in the circle so the point went to us. Wengfai then went over to explain nicely to the hall 8 pple. Instead they rebutted a bit aggressively and I didn't like the body language of one of the vietnamese pricks so I ran over and pushed him. Immediately the hall 8 pple about 5 of them separated us and dragged me away, of course not without me swearing "u pu bor kia" at that arse first. Joel and the rest were juz laughing there, only hengkia bother to come backup. I think if Edwin was there it would have been a different story.

Yesterday's loss to Hall 5 was a bitter pill to swallow, we were so closed to winning en route to the quarters but a few lapses in concentration cost us a defeat. But the match did proved a thing, we are capable of matching the better halls. I believe we can beat hall 2. There was great support yesterday but we let them down, hopefully come next fri we can put a smile on everyones face.

Another point I have noticed, so far all the Popes have been white people. Will we ever get to see a black, Hispanic, Asian Pope at all? Is it a coincidence or racial related?

Also, according to movies like the exorcism, there have been incidents whereby people have been possessed by the devil and at the end of the day like all Hollywood movies, the good guys win, the priest sucessfully exorcised the devil out of the body. Of course the identity of the person is "conveniently" protected and withheld. Now my question is why does the church not videotaped the whole process and show it to the whole world. Surely if the world sees the tape, everyone would start praying to God. I mean if I were head of the Christian community and I have proof that God works to eliminate evil, I would surely present it to the whole world to prove his existence and increase the number of worshippers. Any marketing student can also testify to this strategy.Unless of course such a thing never happened in the first place. I can only SPECULATE that the movies is just a way to make money between Hollywood and the church or scare people to belive in God.

Also, the incident involving the Lady of Fatima appearing to the three sheperds in Portugal a few decades back is suspicious. Somehow only the "three" young sheperds can see the virgin Mary while the "rest" of the audience cannot see. Whether the sheperds were highly paid good actors I don't know. They are supposely told three secrets two of which has already happened, world war one and two. The last one is yet to happen and the secret is said to make every Pope who has ever read it turn pale white. Ok so it is a secret but come on surely God is not so selfish right? Only the Pope can know the secret? Fine. Some speculate it to be the end of world which brings me to ask why would God want to create the world in the first place if he knew he was gonna end it eventually unless of course he cannot predict the future which contridicts the theory that he is all powerful and almighty.

Furthermore, at the start of the bible, it is said that in the first seven days, God created light, darkness, the world, Adam and eve blah blah blah... But I noticed no mention of creating dinosaurs. Even if one were to read the whole bible, I do not recall any mention at all of dinosaurs. Now surely something as significant as dinosaurs derserves some mention? Surely humans muz have been eaten? Unless of course the bible is against the scientific evidence that dinosaurs exist way before time. Highly impossible becoz they wouldn't want to lose a significant number of worshippers who also believe in science. I know all these is rather confusing but give it a thought yea. And dun report me to any authorities. Thanks!

Ok I am bored again so I am gonna write about my fav subject God.

Some people say that since Evil is created by Satan and Satan is created by God, God is actually responsible for evil.

A simple analogy. If we were to put a toddler in a kitchen and the kitchen has three sharp knives. Suppose the toddler plays around and accidentally cuts himself with the knives, surely any adult would blame us for being ignorant by putting the toddler in the kitchen all by himself inspite of knowing the dangers the knives can impose. Of course one would argue that it is human error but lets say knives did not exist in the first place(assume that knives serves no purpose except killing), the accident would not have happened in the first place. Similarly, if God did not create evil feelings and emotions in humans, we would not be killing each other in the name of hate. My theory is simple, prevention is better than cure, if we do not impose the root factor in the beginning, nothing would take place. Without evil feelings like jealousy and hate in the first place, there would be zero percent success rate for many evil actions.

Its like a choice between putting a child through two schools. Say school one is a prestigious school with highly educated students and school two is a substandard school with students from dubious backgrounds, one would surely put a child in school one due to the fact that is has lesser risk of the child learning bad values from the other students. We cannot totally eliminate the possiblity of the child learning bad things in school one but for argument sake, we all know that the chances are substantially lower.

Therefore, my arugment is that since God has created hate, jealousy, greed in humans, the premium risk of us humans commiting sins is therefore gonna be there as compared to a world if he did not create any of these in the first place. Its like exposing the child to vulgar words, of course the child would pick them up as compared if we live in a world where everyone does not even swear at all. I know Christian pple out there would say that we as humans can make the choice between good and evil and that by doing the wrong thing it is a reflection of our morals but hey do think about my analogy of putting a kid in the school. If u guys got the balls, put ur kid in school two and teach him ur sets of values and see how he grows up, that is of course if one were to dare try it out in the first place if given a choice.

A narrow win it was today but nonetheless still a win. Could have been a draw if the ref had judged that I had handled the ball in the penalty area which I did. Lucky me otherwise I would have to take the blame. Hall 8 are whiners and wankers. Practically each time they go to ground they have to cry foul. I rem the fat ass midfielder no 28, in the last few mins of the game as he lined up to take a shot I threw my body to try and block it and caught his leg due to momentum. There he was saying I delibrately fouled him. End of game I still overheard him toking bout that foul. Eh if u not happy ask ur father come down la ah. He also said our hall machiam bo seh, only pump long balls to strikers and couldn't do much. Well how is this for stats, hall 8 shots on target ZERO. Cry father cry mother 100%.

Everyday rain rain rain and instead of sleeping I am out there playing, how wasted....

I finally tried out playing sepak takraw today, ok la its a bit fun but not as easy as I hoped it would be. I am stil trying to inspire myself for thurs soccer match against hall 8, somehow I have seem to lost the drive to play football. During the exams, I broke away from weekend soccer duties and lost the momentum eventually. Anyway Captain Helmi has organised a match this week, hopefully the match will take place, need to catch up on match fitness and technical positioning.

I need to psych myself up for this thurs, and yea I will practise my pre-match routine, drink teh c peng before the game!

Whoa, seems like google is buying over everything huh.

What a pulsating game, the Arsenal vs Chelsea game has got to be the best game I have watched so far this season.I admit chelsea were unlucky not to win in the final mins of the game.

I am still shackled by sat match. Totally no fitness and poor awareness of the ball. Morale and confidence a bit low in contrast to a few months back. It will be interesting to see how I fare on thurs. Anyway out of boredom, I have decided to name my dream team. Here goes. I have adopted a 4-3-1-2 formation.

Goalkeeper - Peter Schemichael

The great dane, I always fancy a keeper who shouts at you throughout the game thereby keeping you mentally alert.

Right Back - Gary Neville

A loyal servant and a hard working bloke who runs his heart out down the flank.

Right Centre Back - Rio Ferdinand

He may have been off-form sometimes but he hasn't let England down in major tournaments esp the world cup, he is fully focused and rarely loses a tackle.

Left Centre back - Tony Adams(Vice Captain)

A typical British old fashioned and no nonsense defender. Someone who can psych players up before a game and rally the troops when the chips are down definitely gets a slot in my starting lineup.

Left Back - Ashley Cole

The only person I feel who can stop Cristiano Ronaldo.

Right Centre Mid - Luis Figo

An extremely skillful winger who can play centre mid as well. At his peak, he was practically carrying Portugal on his own. My secondary school idol.

Centre Mid - Roy Keane(Captain)

Since I started watching EPL, I dun rem seeing anyone square up to him after any challenge. Week in week out players square up to challenges but no one has ever reacted to him after a challenge, he is that FEARSOME.

Left Centre Mid - Pavel Nedved

Many still say Juventus only lost to Milan in the 2003 champions league final because he was suspended. A talented player who also led Lazio to the scudetto. He can make mazy runs and pass a through ball.

Hole(In front of midfield and behind strikers) - Zinidine Zidane

How could this maestro not be in anyone's dream team. Practically the best player of our generation.

Left Forward - Rivaldo

Another skillful player full of tricks. He can dribble and most importantly score.

Right Forward - Fat ronaldo

He may be slow now but surely a few years back he was the best clinical finisher of the game. Able to do dummies and crossovers as well.

Reserves

Keeper - Buffon/ Oliver Kahn

It was difficult to choose between them so I decided to include both.

Sweeper/Left Back -Paolo Maldini

A world class defender who reads the game and tackles well.

Midfield- Michael Essien

A player who can slot in at any postion and excel. A physically powerful lad, almost a complete player, one to watch out for the future.

Attacking Mid - Paul Scholes

A technical and crafty player who has great vision and passing ability. Though quiet by nature, he stands shoulder to shoulder with the best players in the world. He is the most underated player who should deserve more recognition.

Hole - Wayne Rooney

Though he is not as skillful as henry or a finisher like Van Nisterooyl, he plays with his heart on his sleeve. Only 21 and still not the finished product yet. How could anyone ever leave him out.

Striker - Eric Cantona

My idol and also the reason why I supported Leeds Utd then and later Manchester United. He has a great footballing brain and is also a charismatic entertainer.

I am sick of playing all these mind games. I tried to be diplomatic about it but since you don't get it, then don't blame me for being nasty. I don't even own u anything for a start. I can play mind games also.

Have been enjoying life for the past few days. Just came back from drinking with Phil, Junxian and the baba Nicolas. It felt like good old times, sitting down to drink and talk cock. Earlier in the day, went to Singapore swimming club to get a tan and relax in the jacuzzi and sauna. One word to describe today, SHIOK!

The day before I also met up with my secondary school frenz to catch up on times. Found out a couple of gals got married and already with kids. A few of my juniors according to my police fren are in jail. Seems like I haven't been in contact with a lot of pple for a while.

However the past few days have also been torried at times. A gal I got to know while working at Sing Post has been pestering me to go out with her. I should have known better when she asked me for my number. The branch manager also played a part when she kept persuading me to tackle her. Sing Post is a fucking match making agency, the last place I worked, the aunties also asked me to date their daughters. WTF... Anyway I have decided to make things clear to her after her 21st birthday this fri, dun wanna be a bastard also. Vincent the weirdo also took my number. I really regret being too friendly with pple. Tomorrow at Bedok I shall project a jerk attitude. If only Jenny could be more friendly, hhmm maybe things might be in a different state, haha.

Day 4 summary

In total, I have been called an uncle three times. Also whenever young kids misbehave, their parents will go 'see that man there, u naughty he will come take u and sell u away'. Since when did I became the convenient bad guy, i so friendly.

Gonna miss the ah beng tomorrow, he took the day off. For the past few days, he has been my constant supply of free cigerettes. But I did help him by pushing every customer to him. But that means I will be stuck with vincent tomorrow. Now vincent is no ordinary person, vincent is a fucking weirdo. He walks as if there is a vibrator stuck in his body. I had the unfortunate luck when he came over to tok cock with me today.

Vincent: What do u think of the girl in the handphone shop?

Me: I think she has a great figure.

Vincent: I luuvv her ass.

Me: Ok, ic

Vincent: Have u ever done it in geylang before?

Me: Err no

Vincent: The girls there are fantastic! Do u watch porn?

Me: Which guy hasn't?

Vincent: I love ang mo porn, they are hardcore!

Me: Oh ok

Vincent: Can u share with me any dvds?

Me: Err why dont u download from internet?

Vincent: Too slow la, it will take days.

Me: Oh then go Johor buy lor

Vincent: Where, where?

Me: Holiday plaza

Vincent: Ok, I call my fren now

And with that he really called his fren to arrange a trip together to go Johor. Well done to him. Even when I knocked off to go home, I was stopped in my tracks by other loonie.

Loonie: Hi, i need to ask a favor from u

Me: What?

Loonie: I need money to buy dinner, can u spare me 2 dollars?

Me: No

I mean, do I look like some welfare organisation called sharity? No! Do I look like I print money? No! Waz up with these fucking loonies I wonder.

But overall it has been fun so far in Singpost. The staff there are tok cock people. The ezy cash lady is very cute and friendly. The guys got so bored we started asking each other questions like who would we prefer to have for a gf between serene(ah lian) and Jenny the ezy cash lady. No one voted for serene, haha.

Summary of day 3 at work. Had an unpleasant encounter with an uncle early in the morning. He was drinking Baron strongbrew beer at like 11am and was toking alot of bullshit to me so I tried to escape by telling him that I had to do my work. Then he asked me to give him my handphone number and address so that he can get his friend to hire me for dunno what work also. Anyway while he was not aware I immediately went to hide and sun pian take a break. Can't understand why hougang has so many fucking nutcases around. And Hougang uncles have a very disgusting habit, they prick their nose in public.

Also, I met another one of my secondary school fren Fiona which makes me realise, if I want to find anyone from my secondary school, I think spending a week in Hougang mall will help me find half the class there. Another one spotted was Lta Dave from soa, he looks as if he has been sacked from the army, looking rather sloppy and run-downed.

I wonder what tommorrow brings.

Two days into work and my legs are feeling sore from standing long hours. Anyway the team is still the same, only some new faces. In fact the new faces are only two weeks into their job so by right I even more lao jiao than them. Met quite a few pple, my primary school fren who is now a regular in the navy, staff sergeant Jimmy who is now a csm in 46SAR. He stay near hougang(Aru beware). Also met my serangoon sec frenz, raymond poh who dropped out of poly half way and is now carving out a career in selling massage chairs. Met Chen Yee, still pretty as ever, she was one of the few success story together with me in my sec school having made it to JC. I guessed throughout the school history prob no fewer than 200 people went to JC.

Speaking of the Prudential team, they hired an ah beng and ah lian to replace the old staff. Take it from me folks, don't trust anything finacial consultants tell ya, they are as the name suggest finacial CONsultants. Besides the ah beng consultant looks more like someone who acts in gangster films. Some observations noted from working in hougang mall, people in hougang still walk and swing their arms the ah beng way, as if their arms had no joints to control them. And the mall is still filled with 13yr old small punks wtih purpled dyed hair, alien workshop shorts and spewing foul language picking up fights to impress the ah lians. Yet, the good thing about hougang is that there are many shops that sell things like soap, batteries, clothes for cheap cheap. Actually I think what I am writing today is incoherent, muz be the tireness, hehe...

UNITED WE STAND

I feel gutted for Man Utd, they should have beaten the blues last night. But then again we didn't lose so at least we stood our ground.

Exams are finally over. However my early morning wake up routine still continues as I report for work at Hougang Sing Post again tmr morning. I will be able to earn 250 bucks in 5 days so I can use it to enjoy life in dec without feeling too guilty. I shall go for a run later, gotta get back match fitness in two weeks time. Earlier also, I went to Serangoon interchange to eat my fav mee pok. Though the standard is still there, the portion has gone down so much, felt cheated paying 3 dollars for what I felt was 1.50 bucks worth. Had a hair cut which turned out a bit disatrous. I wanted a cut like Valencia's David Villa but end up I think the Aunty didn't really knew how I wanted it so she juz cut a crew cut for me. Now I feel like a army boy again. Think I shall try a mohawk next time.

Just woken up from my sleep. Gosh its been awhile since I took a nap without having to set the alarm clock. Anyway I just finished my semi-final match against Fluid mechanics earlier this morning, two days after a tough quarter final against mechanics of materials. Now I have five days to prep for the final against soil mechanics.

I have to write about my neighbours, got some stuff to say about them. My left door neighbours are wankers. i can't understand how they can keep their doors close 24hrs 7. Go brush teeth muz lock door, go piss also muz lock door, come out to take a breather also muz lock, I mean what the fuck is so valuable inside that one muz lock the door everytime. Its not as if your shoes are soooo COOOOl that u gotta keep it inside in case I steal them. U wankers! Shihao's french roomie is also a wanker. Just hearing the footsteps and I know its him. He pounds the floor loudly when he walks to the toilet. He used to walk real fast as in fast march pace to the toilet and lately he sprints, and I mean sprint to the toilet. He muz be pretty fit I guess. Loong's french dude isn't far better, heard from Loong that he eats Macdonalds three times a day for his meals. Guess chinese cuisine doesnt suit his taste buds.

And the vietnamese food in my hall canteen sucks big time. They should make an effort to learn English. A month ago I ordered set 1 and got on bowl off dung. Mins later I ordered another SAME set for my roomie and got a different bowl and asked her why, she simply said ya same. And when I said I DUN WAN chong, she nod her head say yes muz muz! Upon my pleas not to, she still put it in the end. So I have since condem that stall and hope everyday that it closes down. Vietnamese pricks...

With my first exam paper starting in two days, its doesn't get any better with mself falling sick today. Suffering from a minor cold and bad sore throat infected by my father and mother over the weekend. I hope the gallons of water I have drunk today cure me asap. With the exams looming, I realised that I am sleeping more and more. Perhaps that is how my body copes with stress. Different people have different methods I guess, like Kangli for eg, he relieves stress by downloading Japanese AV porn, so if anyone wants a sneak preview u can ask him.

Juz gotten a call from Captain Helmi, the team is back again but sadly I won't be able to play this weekend but at least there will be something to look forward to after exams. Furthermore, my dramas and movies are waiting in line in my laptop for me to view so dec will be a month to cherish.

Thats all folks, back to studying again.

Studying at Lee Wee Nam library has so far been fruitful. The air con is just alright and the environment is very conducive to study. Also not much choice la, can't be back at my room at certain timings. Have to be understanding towards my roomie. Hehehe. Kangli is one hell of a tiger I tell you folks.

Exam period is always a time where fitness level drops and fat level increases. It doesn't help very much when the only food available at 11pm plus is Macdonalds. Speaking of macdonalds,when I was a young boy, I fell in love with macdonalds at first sight. My fav burger was the cheeseburger. There came a time when i would only desire to eat burgers. My mother in a desperate attempt to change that fake me a story( my mom told me many lies last time). She claimed that burgers made all my elder cousins contract diabetes and told me I would suffer the same fate if I continued. But stubborn as I was, I couldn't. Once at dinner time at Hougang South Interchange hawker centre, I whined and whined about eating my cheeseburger and refused to eat the hawker food. My mother gave up and passed some money to my sister and told her to get my cheeseburger. That was where my father straightened me up. He gave me one tight slap and told me 'no more macdonalds for you'.

Fast forward to now, I can eat macdonalds anytime I want. Hahaha.

This week is hell of a hectic week for me starting with 2 quizzes tmr and another two along the week. Spent the past two days at home sitting glued to my table and trying to figure out my fluid mechanics tutorial.

Also after dropping a hint a few weeks ago that the only vegetables I liked were brocolli, tao gay and kang kong, my mom specially made tao gay and brocolli for all my meals. It seemed as if it was a make parry eat more vegetables campaign.

Anyway Joseph aka Pirlo sent me a link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzHlMs2rSIM
It is fucking hilarious but only if you are not a Christian. It is basically some anti religion skit. So don't take offence for you have been warned. For the rest like me, hope ya enjoy it.

My ankle is finally feeling the pain after playing two games in three days. I know one day when I grow old I will sort of regret what I am doing now.

Anyway I spent the whole of yesterday studying in my room. My dad tried to tempt me back home by offering to give me a treat. I guess he was probably feeling lonely since my Mom is in Beijing on holiday and my sis working in Hong Kong. I told him cheekily to go to KTV. Haha

Two night ago some idiot spoilt my day. I hate to be a bad guy but sometimes being nice doesn't pay off. I was studying in the study room when I received a call from some stranger I presume from India.

Kei Leng: Hello can I speak to *%^$£"

Me: I think you call wrong number

Kei Leng: Hello I am looking for %£%$£"

Me: I think you call wrong number

Kei Leng: Hello I am looking for &*"^%£

Me: Eh fuck head, how many fucking times u want me to say u called the wrong
fucking number.

Kei Leng: Oh sorry......Hung up

It sort of brought me back memories of the putfile incident involving the chinese fella scolding some Indian fella. But anyway its seems that certain people don't get the message until the magic words pop out. Since I am writing about Indians, I might as well comment on the Indian scholars living in the corridor next to the toilet on my floor. Basically they stink so much I can smell them from 20m away. I wish I can banish all of them to another hall.

No offence to the Singaporean Indians, ya folks are fine, juz got problem with your native Indians.

Out of boredom, I came across this two links which I think is kinda of funny. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2xe_Z36_Lc and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDEnNAqpia8. Hope ya fellas enjoy it.

Once again I got my wish to play as many roles as possible today, filling in at centre back, then left back, then centre back again then right back. It can get real fun but confusing at the same time. For the first time also, I finally got praise from Remy for playing well. My heart goes out to Adil and Hazid for playing today even though they were fasting. I could see that they were really shack but still hung on for the 3-2 win.

My dad also revealed to me in the car that Yahya Mahdon spoke to him after the game thinking my dad was a player or manager and said that our team was quite good. Its a great boost for morale hearing it from an ex-national team player. Feeling kinda of giddy, I think its the haze. Back to the Man utd game now.

Thursday's rugby training was better than expected with almost everyone I had in mind turning up for training.At least it made my effort calling people down worth it. Just checked my email and read Adam's email in which he thanked everyone for turning up for training. His msg was simple, play rugby for hall not just sorely for points or winning, but for the fun of it and playing for the other guy beside who has also been sweating like a dog in training and putting his body on the line in the game. Felt rather inspired.

Next week gonna be real fun as there will be a soccer friendly agains hall 11. Somehow I get this feeling that not many people know that Daniel is the new soccer manager. On wed where there was supposed to be soccer selection, I had three missed calls from people regarding soccer and thus spoiling my afternoon nap. Seems like I may have to arrange for the hall to fall in at the amphi theatre and conduct a handing over ceremony to let people know the hand-over.

One thing about NTU is that it always have to be on a higher ground than everyone else. Making my way to the NTU alumni building yesterday for the oct fest event prove daunting when I saw the slope I had to climb. But anyway it was an experience with the free flow of booze and food. The crowd were mainly ang mo pple, had a chat with a German exchange student who told me that it was his first oct fest as he came from the Northern part of Germany which does not celebrate it unlike the southern part. Btw my dad knew how to speak German in his younger days while my sis knows how to speak French. Seems like I have to learn Spanish to maintain the tradition.

I think last night will the last time I touch beer until I get at least a silver for IPPT. Beer is definitely making my fitness drop like crazy and not doing me favours to get the 400 dollar cash. I weigh a hefty 81.2 KG now and hopefully my year end can bring it down to 75. Shall request to Helmi to put me in right back postion to run more.

Darn it, hazy days are back again.

So far school is depressing especially lab sessions which is always a drag. And after my quizzes finish this week, I will have another round next week. Nowadays have to be on 4NTM stand by mode to prepare for activation(quizzes).

Last saturday I remember watching the God of Gamblers 2 featuring Chow Yun Fatt, a classic show which I have already watched many times but still have no qualms watching it again. I luv the music when the hero gets out from the car and the way the hair is styled. I always savvy the moment when the bad guy assumes that he has won and gives out the hideous vicious laugh only to be anti-climax when the hero slams the winning card down and the bad guy will go 'hey I tot I arranged for your card to be swapped wat happen? Then the good guy will reveal the masterplan and out of nowhere the bad dude will whip out some weapon only to be killed by the hero in dramatic fashion. I think these kinda shows are really cool and only Hong Kong movies can make it look interesting. Can't imagine hollywood shows producing the same effect. Gonna take my nap now.

The recess week has come to an end and its back to another hectic time table in the next couple of weeks. This routine is becoming pretty mundane to me now. Sometimes I wished that time can stop for me to enjoy life better.

I spent a few days in hall over the recess week trying to study finish my lagging tutorials and till now some of them are still lagging behind. I can probably blame it on watching back to the future and some other movies when I should have completed the tutorials first. On a positive note, I finally found the Guns and Roses live in tokyo concert on sharescan network, ending a 6yr search. The performance was superb especially when you have slash and Axl Rose downing whiskey and smoking what I presume is marijuana during the concert getting really high.

I also swam quite a bit this week especially on fri at the singapore swimming club courtesy of guest entry by Junxian. It was good to relax in the jacuzzi and steam room. But after that going to old airport road to eat hokkien mee didn't really do my body favours.

Today also played soccer for wengfai team, dunno what is happening to Helmi' team so meanwhile just play for him loh. Dunno why he play 3-5-2 formation meaning our defence really had to be on our toes but overall the opponents were easy meat. Sometimes I don't understand why people fight in friendly games, its not as if it is a competitive game where money is at stake. The left winger who pushed Ray to the ground after being tackled was a fucker and I couldn't help it but rushed in and shove him away demanding an explanation. Ben Chen u faggot u purposely take ur time jog over and help right think I dunno. Next time u kanna whack I will pretend leg cramp, haha. Speaking of which my knees are beginning to feel the wear and tear from football. I suppose I will probably not take up Muay Thai this friday after all then.

Last night was smashing. I had a drinking session with my NTU bruddas not to mention heavy drinkers too. Initially the two jugs of beer seem harmless until out came the Chivas Regal bottle. The good thing about Chivas is that it is so neat you don't feel the kick. After we left Brewertz, I wasn't walking straight and so was Phil who looked like he was gonna puke any moment. He went into MOS while me and Junxian left for home.
I took the night rider back and with two more stops to go, I had to alight to puke the beer out. After walking for another 100m, I vomitted again. While I thought that was the end of it, in the middle of my sleep I had to puke again, thankfully I managed to rush to the toilet bowl in time. One thing good about Chivas is that even when puking, the process is smoother than say if I had drunk Black Cat instead. Anyway that summed up yesterday night, wasted my money eating the burgers which eventually ended out in my vomit.

I am gonna be broke soon starting with this friday, heading down to clarke quay to have a few pints of beer with Phil and Junxian. Next week probably eat some buffet with my roomie and Jianming. Not forgetting watching the movie Miami Vice. I also spent 18bucks on tickets to the octoberfest event held by the NTU German society whereby there will be free flow of Paulenars beer, dunno whether true anot in the sense sure make a loss if give free flow mah.

The recess week is also a week whereby I have to pia all my lagging tutorials and get my fitness back. Gym, swimming and soccer all planned liao and hopefully can faithfully stick to it. Been trying to motivate myself to get IPPT gold so that I can use the 400 bucks to go overseas. I know easier said than done but hey, if the Italian wankers can win the world cup, anything is possible.

Just finished watching the office, a British comedy which made me laugh my balls off. I laughed till my throat went dry and I seriously recommend it to anyone who is bored or stressed.

Yesterday was a sinful day. While watching the two big games, I was indulging myself in mee goreng, snickers, cookies and cream ice cream and chivas regal. Man Utd lost and that was when Chivas came in to console me.

This week is another quiz week before I get to enjoy the recess break. Finally Miami Vice will be opening, have been waiting for that show quite a while.

Channel 5 sux big time. They do not show champions league soccer and on top of that have only decided to air prison break now. Thankfully I have watched season two due to the network system in NTU. First world country my ass. Besides I wonder wats up with NTU professors nowadays, getting involved in so many raunchy affairs. I won't be surprised to see my lecturers in the Newpaper one day.

In loving memory of my cousin : Selena Low

It has been an emotionally wrecking week for me with today being the worst day of it. Standing next to the coffin with everyone saying their last prayers for my cousin was a painstaking event to experience till the part when the top part of the coffin showing her face was covered. That was the last time anyone of us would have gotten to see her face again.

Proceeding to the viewing hall to see the coffin being slowly transported before it gets cremated is a heart-breaking process. It makes myself feel powerless standing behind the glass door and watch someone of my kin being 'sent off' in this manner. My mom and aunt took it all rather badly. It is a very sad and painful event to experience, much worst for my uncle and cousin and the scene keeps replaying in my head whenever my mind idles. Hopefully as time passes I should be able to get over it soon.

I am beginning to feel like William Gallas, playing centre back then left back then right back then left back again, though it can be quite fun. Everyone was tired yesterday. I was totally shacked. Great to welcome Indra back also, the man I look and pass to whenever I run out of options. It was weird playing against Terence, no one was able to get the ball away from him as usual.

As wednesday draws nearer, my mood is getting more solemn. My cousin's crementation will be a hard one to swallow. Everyone is worried about my grandmother and whether she will be able to take it. Seeing my uncle's teary eyes and sad face last saturday also sank my heart. I really feel for the whole family and wish that they can get over it soon.

Just back from my cousin's wake. She has left this world as of today afternoon after 5years of suffering from her condition. Shall not discuss the matter anymore. Bad news one after another has messed up my head. This has been a bad week for me, beginning to fear the word death. I realised that I can't accept the reality of people around me leaving this world. I just hope that things can brighten up soon.

Pardon me if I am moody.
