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.
