Today's game against Clarence's old team will rank as my 2nd most shack game of my career so far. Even Shyam our fittest player at one point looked like he was gonna faint. They were an almost all Indian team who were very fit and played sporting football. I guess we can take consolation that we lost 2-1 to them considering that they trash a team 7-1 which drew 3-3 with us only two weeks ago at AMK ITE. Our defence was a bit shaky in the 2nd half and Eugene together with Apple were relentlessly kao bei-ing us all the time. I couldn't take it at one point and decided to shout back at Eugene. Of all people yes Eugene, who only knew how to bang the keeper, tackle people unnecessarily, shout at referees and did not cover the left flank when defending. He was strolling back all the time and left Tiong exposed most of the time at the left flank.
I guess why Eugene and Apple are always scolding people for mistakes can be attributed to the fact that they are commando regulars with Eugene being a captain and Apple a staff sergeant. On a lighter note I would like to congratulate our Thai player Park Kim who officially made it to the Singapore under-16 team.

Made a trip down to the new national library and I must say I was pretty impressed. It really indeed is big and the fiction and reference section are about twice the size of normal. However I still prefer orchard which offers a more warm and cozy feeling. Borrowed the great gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I actually doubt I have the time to read it. Spent the noon trying to solve Ax+By=C type of questions, questions which 3yrs ago would have easily been solved with an eye closed. But thank you SAF. I actually have to see the answers and work backwards to refresh my memory. Damn

Slightly woke up late for the morning game which was supposed to be against raymond's friends. 5min into the game however, I could hear a familiar voice, a voice that has been played in my ear drums quite too often in the army, looking up amid the light rain, I saw a brown hair guy with no. 21 on the jersey, it was none other than Mr ZZhouu...... What a small world. Thankfully manange to beat his team 3-1. Could hear his voice from almost every inch of the field throughout the whole game. Hope tmr will be a enjoyable day, seems like army life, booking in tonight and booking out of hostel on friday evening to enjoy the weekend life. Hmm think I shall check out the new national library on sat.

Today I shall be booking into my hostel for the night. Been busy packing especially since last night after coming back from bangkok. Disappointed at not finding a nice gym bag but managed to get lots of shirts. Enjoyed drinking at high five pub at Patpong. The Thai girl show was a flop. Defintely not worth it. Did not go for massages because I didn't trust the service. All the time 'tut tut' drivers tried to get us in for massages esp Aru who was pursued relentlessly and was not spared in the Thai girl show bar when an old hag pestered him to buy her a drink. Aru, gotta say this but you the man.
Looking forward to my hostel life but defintely will miss the days after ord when life was so relaxed and care free. I doubt I will get another break as enjoyable as this peroid.

Collected my room keys and to be frank, I am quite satisfied with the lay out of the room. I am just next to the kitchen and toilet. When my stuff are finalised I will probably throw a house warming party. However, I cannot believe that so many occupants are prcs. Damn I feel like a foreigner instead. In fact, I saw a bus of prcs with their barang barang moving in. Thankfully they are all one floor below me. Something needs to be done. Hopefully my bangkok trip next monday will cheer me up.
My afternoon was partly spoilt becoz I had to listen to Alvin Goh gf problems and wasted 20bucks on a lousy buffet at Taka's coka restaurant. Enjoyed watching sin city though. Can't wait for the island to open.

Tomorrow is my official day of moving into my hostel. Been packing my stuff since yesterday. Its almost like booking into another camp with my duffel bag. I can't wait to see my room and decorate it. ALvin has promised to bring a tv and a fringe. I am contributing speakers and vodka. Hopefully my room is windy.

After dreaming of two topless females on sat night, my dreams couldn't get more wackier. last night I dreamt that we were in an army camp somewhere. In the middle of the night Aru(seriously) went to the other block to disturb the occupants and before we knew it, we were 'ambushed' by the other block. I was screaming 'no its wasn't me don't touch me'. My father who was in my room at that time replied 'what are you talking'. That was when i woke up and realise damn I was talking in my sleep. Sheesh.

Well again Happy 21st birthday Keith. You finally seem to find your right path and hopefully you do not return back to the old dayz.( Hey I am changing too). Interesting speech though. But sad to say, you didn't warn me about your friends. Sorry for being direct. Until Gregory and some guy called Ka Woon started pointing to me all your church friends in the house, I began to realise I was alienated. My worst nightmares came true. . For the rest who are probably thinking why the fuck I bothered listening to them in the first place, well I actually like to debate with people like them. Just as much as they would like me to 'convert', I shared my own views to prove that I was not that easily convinced. Fair enough it did broaden my views on the whole picture and it was interesting to hear new opinions. However my stand is still clear. They are nice people but I believed the conversation would have turned sour if I decided to be more direct but hey Keith, don't worry you are still invited to my party at brewertz.

Had a good driving lesson in the afternoon. Somehow my conversation with Mr Koh went from driving to durians. He started with telling me how to choose durians and went on to say he had good durian lobangs, like $1.3 for a kg of durians. I told him I preferred durians from my relatives plantation in Batu Bahat. We argued for a while on whose durians were better until he delivered the killer punch. According to him no one could beat his friend's "mao shan wang" brand. Whatever. Mr Koh 1 Parry 0. Hhmm considering whether to buy creative neeon for my dad, after all with angela's uncle to help me get it for 279, I shouldn't let this oppurtunity slip by.

Anyone still interested in New York 2012? Posted by Picasa
Swam 20 laps in 33min this morning. Still 10min short of Zhan Rui's 23min. Gonna train up more.
Checked my email. Apparently someone by the name of cynthia wants me to add her on friendster. Sure no problem but I don't have a clue who she is. Another gal sent me a message asking me if I was interested in doing business. For Christ's sake I am usually guarded against females asking for favours. Sorry I don't fall for sex appeal that easily. Sorry Qingpei.
Anyway it feels good to know that so many stars are on our tiny island(IOC) . Stars that usually can been seen on Tv or newspapers are actually within our 635 sq km land(hope my geography doesn't fails me). I am not a fanatic but if I had a chance, I would want to shake Alexander Popov and Ian Thorpe's hand. Popov was my idol when I swam 50 and 100m front crawl in Secondary school. I respect Ian Thorpe especially after he pulled away in the last 40m for the Australian 4 x 400m relay.
Anyway congrats London, though I was rooting for Paris. I guess I should have seen it coming. The wind of change seems to be blowing to England. Not too long ago, Liverpool, an English club won the champions league ffrom the death, being 3-0 down at half time to win in penalties. London, which was supposed to be at the bottom of the pack, eventually gets the nod for the olympics. Hopefully England doesn't disappoint me for next year's world cup.I do not want to cry again like in 1998 and 2004. C'mon Rooney.

Got my morning off to a bad start. Got fine 20bucks for jay walking. Pleaded with the traffic police to give me a chance. 'I giving u chance liao, no charge just fine only' Damn, felt like punching him. Should have gang up with the Nanyang poly guy to beat him.
Read TODAY newspaper and liked the forum. One guy wrote in to condem SAF 'higher ups' who pushed responsiblilty to the medical officers for the recent death of an NSF. Said they should be more responsible. I salute you brother. Felt bothered by people writing to say that musicians are taking part in Live 8 just for fame. Well I mean if they don't take part, they will be blasted for not showing concern. As if writing and watching will do much better. But I was really hoping to see a cameo apperance by wacko jacko and see the crowd reaction.

I swear that drinking beer the night before improves one's performance on the field in the morning. But I shall not go into another debate. My driving was rather poor today. Being over confident led me to releasing the clutch too early, resulting in 'si chia' which in turns leads to my instructor screaming ' wah lau le ai hiao wa chia bei, ga le gong qui bai nia liao le bei hiao tia si bo, mai ah ni za ri lise clerk, ah ni kuan wa ga le bo yong sim si? ' Sometimes i wish I could box his teeth. I do not doubt his experience but sometimes when I wish he could shut up to let me concentrate on the road. Its a bit dfficult when he starts 'ah le kua tui bin gu za si kopitiam or kim mei uu guik kua bo, Brazil bang pua liap si bo?' Today, I almost bang a car cos he was pointing over his back saying ' le kua ji eh cia jin swee'. Damn one of these dayz I reckon he will get us both killed.

ORD LOH

Today being my last day, I gave out oreo biscuits to my lovable colleagues who remarked 'wah temp staff also give out presents ah'. Thought most of them except Angela and the technician are of an older age group, we have managed to communicate fairly well, especially when it comes to bitching their bosses. All good things come to an end and my journey of freedom is slowing fading away. These few months after ord and before university will most probably be the most carefree and joyful months of my life, with no worries to bother about. Shall checkout creative vivid 60 speakers at Funan tomorrow. Hopefully it really cost 9bucks as advertised in the papers with no strings attached
