merry christmas to one and all!

this the season to be jolly!
once again the period of giving and sharing is here...
and whilst in the mood for everything festive..
we shall also not forget the true meaning of christmas..

there's this boy child Jesus Christ
was born on Christmas Day.
hark! now hear the angels sing
a new king's born today
and man will live forever more
because of Christmas Day...

how loving and merciful you have been dear Lord..
and the lessons that you have taught will always remain deep in my heart
for now and forever more
Amen

closet or misunderstood?

hmm a long lay off from this place...
just cant seem to find the time to click on blogger, load the page and log in..
or am i just too lazy... bah
anyways.. the ahbeng taunts are still coming...
resonating from the same irritating source called maverick
once again
brown hair doesnt mean ahbeng
and u certainly know more hokkien HOH EH sayings than me
so whos the ahbeng now??
but come to think of it...
am i ahbeng?

nah... im too jiak kan tang to be ahbeng...
but engrish ahbeng are known as gangster/hooligan?
hmm me no gangster leh

anyways.. been hooked on diablo2 again...
FINALLY found some kah kis to play online..
should be fun!!
calling out to LOD D2ers..
do join me on battlenet!!

and they call me ah beng...

i really very ah beng meh???!?!
i mean... i only have brownish red hair..
carry a cue stick...
curse hokkien expletives..
walk with a sia lan swagger...
sing orh biang songs...
ermm..
sheesh.. i AM ahbeng huh....

going back to my roots... thats what they say..
then i must be the most shy ah beng lar..
no balls to do this or that...
anti thesis to the essense of being an ahbeng...
perhaps thats me isnt it..
just a life of contradictions...

spending my time

What's the time?
Seems it's already morning
I see the sky, it's so beautiful and blue
The tv's on, but the only thing showing
is a picture of you
Oh I get up and make myself some coffee
I try to read a bit but the story's to thin
I thank the lord above that you're not here to see me
in the shape I'm in
Spending my time watching the days go by
Feeling so small I stare at the wall
hoping that you think of me too
My friends keep telling me "hey life will go on"
time will make sure I'll get over you.
This silly game of love you play, you win only to lose..

the beanpole finally comes good!

as the old saying goes...
hardwork never goes unrewarded
how true it is for 7mil pound striker peter crouch
yes that tall skinny guy wearing a red shirt who cant score a penalty to save his life
has finally scored in open play!
pity it had to come against plucky wigan.. who remained spirited even though the gulf in class showed today...
but back to crouch..
unbelievable elation from the quiet giant
plenty of critics have written him off from the goals chart...(including myself)
but hopefully this begins a new chapter in his career and he can continue to plunder more goals for himself..(finally do see that bit of confidence in him.. looking to shoot instead of always finding a pass for his teammates)
well done lad!

watching such an inspired display has left me wondering if hardwork REALLY pays off...
of coz in soccer.. u get a lucky bounce or deflection( just like crouch's 1st goal)
or maybe the goalie felt pity for you and let the ball slip through ( again like crouch's 1st goal)
but the bottom line is.. he DID put the ball in the back of the net.. period
will i ever get lucky breaks with studies???
a lucky mcq test(never occurred to me in my entire sad existance)
an easy test for me to score...
even a paper where i can safely complete..
none of this ever happened...

so does hardwork really pay off??
sigh...

tribute to one of the BEST footballers in the world..

George Best 1946 - 2005
pity i didnt get the chance to see the trickery of this genius in live action...
but the highlight reels are testiment enough to showcase his brilliant skills...
outrageously talented, but also sadly outrageously self destructive...
guess it was the hazard of being a superstar at the time..
booze with care... no amount of talent can save u from liver cirrhosis

anyways.. a day of reckoning dawns..
time to tackle the dreaded physio paper... which looks deceptively easy...
bloody failed the mid terms big time...
and will the dentistry/pharmacy pple ever let up??!??! dun think so...
damn those buggers...
just pray to the good Lord to get me an equal standing...
i will do my best.. and show them wat i got inside my war chest..
and Lord may u do the rest!!

quite anti climatic now that the exams are drawing to a close...
complain and complain abt the exams..
when its over.. u begin to feel... well.. abit empty...
hahaha maybe im just being in depression....
talking nonsense... me missing exams??? im outta my mind...

anyways.. guess i will start a new song request section..
so to anyone out there
just post any favourite song of us
if me and my comrade in arms can conjure the song up
we will get in mp3 form and viola!
our very own request station
stay tuned!

where got so suay one.....

cant believe it....
why do the fatimahs always like to arrow my car?????
but anyways... ever since they privatised the fine company...
they have been so enthu!!!
like some swat team like that wor...
the moment they unload from their van..
wah electronic gadget in hand...
bang bang bang!!
ticket after ticket
amazing sia...
i was only overtime for 1/2 an hr???
cannot give chance ah....
haiyoh...

like that i also wanna work as parking attendent...
hahahahhahahaha

another pleasure in life... OREO!!

ahhh... wat will i do without my oreos...
choccolaty and creamy at the same time...
im pretty sure they invented oreos just for me...
hahaha bigotry at large here...
anyways... MNO was just piss irritating..
past year qns came out.. but we had no idea wat the correct ans is...
but in all.. the module did impart valuable lessons to bring on to the future.. and great frens too!
unlike some module.. the 1 they call signals....
might as well call it electrical engine for suckers..
out of the world qns that are clearly beyond our limited ability!!!
argh.. stress... heh
well.. oreo and milk is as good a stress buster u can get..
so there!
exam tip of the week!
oreos!!

spurs just cant spur on till the end...

amazing scenes at white hart lane...
with the last touch of the game
anton ferdinand came up with the equaliser to deflate SPurs hearts...
the sting in the tail... the bite up the backside...
suffer for not taking ur chances!
also manage to watch an epic of a tennis match betwn federer and nalbandian...
down 2 sets.. up 4 games to love in the final set... lose 4 games in a row.. only to clinch in the a final set tie break...
nalbandian really know how to drama ah!!
but true to the spirit of a champion... federer fought on till the end inspite of muscle spasms.
excellent! top drawer stuff

pass me some of the fighting spirit roger!
let me conquer my demons

toa payoh = big swamp...
hmm more like a concrete quagmire with brick trees..
shows the speed of development in singapore..
wasteland 1 moment.. casino the next
how to apply for job in casino ah??/
screw my engineering background...

holidays have started for some...
seeing a few doign part time work in stores now...
perhaps its time to go for some shopping therapy... and strike up some conversation??
"looking for any specific models sir?"
"yes.. YOU"
omg.. im lame...

1st paper down.. but some beanpole cant get his 1st!!

cant believe liverpool paid 7million pounds for a beanpole..
i mean.. if u want someone tall but cannot head the ball or score goals
get a basketball player lar
given a penalty chance
and he puts it straight into the keeper.. so much for goal scoring instincts..
isnt he ashamed that everyone else in the club is scoring cept him???
give a life bloke!!

anyways.. shall sidetrack for a moment to finally celebrate the expulsion of chemistry in my life
good riddance!!!

ok back to sat nite football review...
chelsea once again proves that form is temporary but class is permanent by slamming 3 past newcastle, not helped by the absense of owen and shearer.. dragged further down by the atrocious play by boumsong...
u call boumsong a defender???
man utd finally got their act together...
and poor ol wigan... heart ache at the JJB after pushing arsenal right to the wire...
could only blame themselves for not being clinical enough..
perhaps a lesson learned today abt top flight football mr paul jewell
villa put paid to sunderland with a 3-1 away win.. condemning the black cats to another season of anonimity
man c and blackburn ground out a goalless draw.. expected since their managers are psycho and sparky..

and just to end..
ZYX is the most handsome bro ever.
period.

simple pleasure in life... choc sponge cake!

yumyum!!
the cure to any exam blues...
a slice of this... plus cuppa of hot choc...
equals 1 very happy me!

gives time for thought and reflection too...
looking out into the dark skyline...
seeing the planes fly by...
it has always been hard to say goodbye...
constantly on my mind..
those words that made my heart tore..
i just dont love you no more..

exams coming... but FM came first!!

argh!!!!
the temptation that is FM2006 is here...
how am i gonna fight this...
cant fight the managerial feeling anymore....
argh!!!!

people killing people dying...
french riots leave streets on fire
cant there be peace in the world??
thank God for high tolerance in Singapore...
cant imagine how it would be like if such riots broke out...
no exams maybe???
:)

its all about the hunger..

man utd has proven it..
hunger does lead you to perform at greater heights...
will i be able to emulate that??
hmm...
i betta...'
if not sure kena sai results...
damn...

more reviews..

arsenal should really wake up their idea...
either they dont have much respect for their opponents.. or they just like to fall asleep during matches... but end of the day.. they proved too strong for sunderland
blackburn ran out big winners this wkend
fulham newcastle and west ham all continue with their fine run at the moment...

memo to self
to always say my prayers
and thank God for my blessings
:)

a worthy performance!

finally.. a premiership win after a midweek champions league game..
shows that impossible is nothing..
come on U Reds!
due to daylight saving.. all matches now start an hr later..
but no bother.. soccer is life anyway.. :)

plenty to be grateful abt..
shant be the whining bitch that i always been...

the week is over?

blink of an eye...
the h0liday wk is gone....
time flies when ur having fun.. how true is that
exams coming...
hardly started...
bad bad me...

girls nowadays damn tall sia...

for my sojourn down orchard rd in a million years...
i finally drew my conclusion...
that the world around me has grown taller...
or i have shrunk like a mouse...
everybody is so friggin tall!!!
how can this be??
so discouraging...
feel so damn.... inadequate...

anyways.. finally a liverpool performance worth praising about
great hunger from the onset
good passing.. good defending..
but still lack the finishing...
once again some spanish magic from the boot of xabi alonso gave that needed edge.. b4 zenden wrapped it up... all round good showing..
why cant they do this in every game???
wigan... wat can i say...
did it yet again.. last min heroics from chimonda.. good ol lactics!!
arsenal was lucky to escape with a draw from white hart lane..
chelsea's train doesnt seem to be getting derailed.. as they steamroll pass blackburn
portmouth came back strong against sunderland.
everton finally won their 1st game..(booooooo!)
and bolton continues their fine run in the league
and at this pt in time... Boro is leading man utd!!!
haahhaha hope it stays that way...

never blame the equipment..

haiz.. old man liao lar...
play few games of badminton and im aching everywhere...
cant seem to smash properly for the entire afternoon....
blame the racket? blame the strings? well... my title says it all...

couldnt pot balls for my life the entire evening...
and im suppose to be the one teaching pple...
blame the cue? blame the table? well once again.. my title explains it all...

but dont we just LOVE to blame everything else except Ourselves??
human nature or self bigotry...
i will always tell myself...
NEVER BLAME THE EQUIPMENT!

sick...

haiz... been having gastric pains the whole wk...
damn the stomach bug thingy...
but was also a good thing the damn virus struck on a free wk...
just slept the whole wk away...
and i have a test on monday....
argh.. when will it ever stop...
even more sickened by liverpool...or benitez should i say...
disgusting performance...
but nothing beats the clown act pires and henry did with a penalty...
amazing stuff...
wigan is on the rise.. good on ya lads!
spurs earned their spurs holding man utd to a draw
blackburn earned an easy win

well hope the stomach bug dies soon...
if not i will die 1st...

i hate mcqs...

the title says it all....
im sure many... no PLENTY of u might beg to differ...
but... im sure u know there are pple out there who have rotten luck...
u can be waiting for the bus for 20mins, but when u decide to go to the toilet, the frigging bus comes...
u can be pretty sure that even though u missed the bus, another will come shortly.. but not another was in sight until half an hour later... and 3 came in a row...
u could be walking along a bright sunny day.. but suddenly realised ur feeling water falling upon ur head.. only to look up and see that the hdb block is under washing..
u know that u have gotten the right answer... but u just chose the wrong option...
if u have experienced any of the above scenarios...
well welcome to the club of SUAY pple...
then u would empathise with me in our hatred for mcqs...
if u dont share our sentiments.. then..
continue to bask in ur good luck...
u never know when it might make a drastic U-turn..
u have been warned..

what a week..

an astonishing week just went by me...
2 tests in a row...
2 BAD tests in a row as a fact...
and 2 more to come...
life is just beginning to get hectic.. ah well... life is just a carousel...
anyways.. finally got a chance to really sit through an EPL match without having to write my one-pager assignment... but that didnt really heighten my soccer experience at all.. especially watching poor poor liverpool at work again..
although the 3 pts were secured... the performance leaves much to be desired...
highlight of the day belonged to wigan.. who climb to 2nd in the table, after being right at the bottom a few year ago.. and bottom means really last rung.. like last position in div3? amazing stuff..
man utd got the job done.. chelsea had a chink in their armour.. before rallying for a thorough wash out of bolton..
at least a consolation was the loss of everton and arsenal... HEEEeeee
well thats about all of the action for premiership saturday...

but lack of action on my part...
hmm is that lack of action stopping me from finding my other half?
opportunites were there... but i didnt make full use of it...
is it me or just that God is telling me she is not the one yet...

ahh.. new design...

hmm changed the design of the blog... seems alot like a LEFThanded blog now..
haha dunno why...
anyways... blog spam is getting worse... can somebody out there do something abt anything?!??!
argh...
so many tests coming up...
so many projects due...
so little time..
and im still wasting time here...
hahaha how ironic...
hmm should be going to church regularly...
but.. just circumstances wont allow me too..
hopefully the Good Lord will answer my prayers...

Blog SPam??!!??!

Im not sure if this has plagued other blog users...
but these spammers are really IRRITATING!! @##$#$#!$@#$!
has spam really invaded blog world??
well.. exposed to the public domain does invite such nuances..
but blog spam.. thats a new one...
hope blogger.com does something abt it..

lousy badminton player...

just realised that.. even after 2 years of training..
i still suck badly in badminton.. and i mean big time CRAP
lost to this uncle who totally exploited my weakness.. the inability to chase down shots..
exposed my inept backhand as well..
and my half court lobs..
into the net smashes..
well.. the list goes on.. im a lousy player...
ah well.. wat to do.. maybe thats why i neva made it to the team...
hopefully the hamster can teach me the basics again..

yum yum dim sum!

yum yum dim sum! whoever created dimsum is a genius...
had a great lunch with my mum and aunt! delicious har-gao.. fried carrot cake..
and the list goes on..

on a totally different subject... finally had a taste of extreme deviance is...
having mcq test.. that has a qn worth 30 marks..
wtf! get 1 qn wrong and ur on ur way to fail.. where the hell do these pple get the idea from?
disgusting...

forgot to bring my goggles for chem lab.. had to practically beg or steal 1.. managed to beg 1 from the lab tech.. such a nice lady! hahah im really a male slut...
damn...

ok now to my wkly sat nite round up of EPL action...
lucky lucky red devils again... ruud to the rescue is the headline once again...
but im sure sir fergie would take the 3 pts in any fashion these days..
portsmouth and newcastle fought out a rather entertaining goalless draw... newcastle obviously missing the cutting edge of owen..
Spurs takes the cream of the wkend with a stunning come from behind victory away to charlton..
and west brom continues their disastrous season with another loss to blackburn
guess the baggies are going down .. sooner or later..
anyways.. big match on super sunday pits liverfools against chelski again...
with senor benitez getting rather cocky lately... hope he gets the premiership match right this time...

apologise for my rather incoherent entry.. mind in a whirl... too much information.. too little neurons... or is it axons.. or ... watever...

men in Red just cant win...

endured another disappointing performance from liverpool...
talking abt managers being negative... nobody can get as negative as senor Benitez..
european champions.. playing against europe wannabes.. and he opts to play defensive...
almost made to pay when pandiani poked in the goal.. lucky lucky you benitez.. shame on you too..
at least the quality of football from west ham is betta... and considering that they were playing against arsenal.. made a pretty good case for survival.. keep it up Hammers!
chelsea, as usual cant be stopped... but at least they let in a goal!
in a day of upsets, blackburn stunned man utd( YAY! =) haha)
wigan sent everton deeper into misery,
and newcastle finally get the money's worth with owen proving to be a match winner.
charlton continue their bright start by condemning west brom to another defeat.
but at the end of it all... wat a poor present liverpool gave to me...
sigh..

late nite taxi drivers...

come to realise that taxi uncle is a damn lonely bunch of uncles...
EVERy time i take a mid nite cab.. the uncle will always talk abt some issue.. without a doubt..
and is not abt worldly issues or wat..
but ALWAYS abt CHINA girls.. or girls in GEYLANG..
i mean uncle ah... do i look like some hum sup boy waiting to get laid??
just send me home in 1 piece and im happy liao k.. why intro me to the vice of singapore??
its just so damn awkward like... they go on and on abt these Prosts always haress them for money.. i mean.. u dont patronise them.. why the hell they will bother u uncle??
and u jolly well know they might be illegals.. why do u still encourage them??
haiyoh... digging own grave rite???
hahah do i have an uncle agony face? these uncles must confide in me ah??
hmm but i do know plenty of secret affairs now...
hmm... maybe i should sell these stories...

yay! coloured my hair.. by me self!

haha as the title suggests.. yes my hair is... a mess..
brown patches of dye...
hmm quite ah beng...
but hey.. i did it myselF! maybe i should take hair dressing course instead...

men in Red cant put ball in net..

just cant understand it...
European champions.. put 3 past a world class keeper in Dida...
and liverpool just cant put the ball in the net in the premiership...
my goodness... maybe liverpool should just play in the european league lar... banned from EPL..
and owen finally found his mark for newcastle.. beginning to regret now senor Benitez???
newcastle finally got their act together.. and there might just be a light at the end for them.. NOT!! :)
chelsea just doesnt seem stoppable.. and thats a bad sign for the league.. its like ferrari domination written all over it..

start of a 4 day break.. but wat kind of break is it when there are projects and tests to study for???
nonsensical..

great gig!

well well.. tobasco's red hot week at munchie monkey cafe!
great set by EIC.. Reverie was ok too.. but they played too rock songs lar! sounded like that lost their way a little.. does show the professionalism by EIC's jack and rai.. good on ya mates!!
really does spur me on to get the band going...
any singers out there wanting to be a superstar???
contact me!!

Never ending sick cycle carousel..

argh.. start of another hectic-to-nowhere week again...
why must it be like this??
sian...
anyways.. been researching about how china pple do business...
and its very interesting to note a peculiar trait!!
haha it goes like this.. "zhe ge wen ti.. mei shi'er.. xiao wen ti.. mei she me da ai.."
literally translated means "this problem.. no worries.. small problem.. not a big deal"
hahah but in chinese terms.. it means a big blardy problem.. :)
and i always thought they really meant mei shi... hahah china pple..
well not sure if i offended any china business men out there.. but this is taken straight out from university text.. so its not a figment of my imagination!!!
pple always said doing business in china is tough work.. and im beginning to understand why..
all these hidden meanings... even with a strong knowledge of mandarin.. ur still gonna get conned somehow..
terrible..
anyways.. arsenal lost to boro.. unbelievable.. but.. happens to the best sometimes..
maybe a sign for henry to go?? haha but arsenal do have a nice jersey this season..

learning to play mahjong from my brother and sis-in-law.. veh fun!!
haha mahjong anyone??

EPL reviews.. with added spice

well i guess u peeps out there would have access to results anyway.. so perhaps i would just give a first hand account of the matches.. via very biased eyes :)
anyways.. the 151st manchester derby.. the psycho vs the wily scotman.. rich vs pauper..
how apt that the match ended in a draw, and if not for further heroics by van der sar.. man utd would have rotten eggs in their faces.. cunning old van nistelroy popped up with the opener.. same JIAN trick of running off the last defender during the freekick.. cheapo..
joey barton (yea! a scouser!) leveled the match. great on ya mate!
to the other live match... and poor liverpool are at it again.. and this time.. the crosshair is firmly on djibril-weird hair and cannot score-cisse. how many chances u bloody need man???
u want to be betta than owen?? dream lar... haiz.. spurs played betta.. but if not for poor tactics.. would have over ran a ragged liverpool.. and mr jol.. why do u need a whole platoon of midfielders??? argh..
well no hiding where my alliances lie.. :)
elsewhere.. darren bent continues his hot form to lead charlton over birmingham..
shockers were provided by portsmouth and wigan...
newcastle shared the spoils.. and no doubting chelski their 3 points

well school is just getting bad to worse.. just like liverpool..
promised alot.. delivered little..
just got a new home theater system.. so can play my jay chou and air supply concerts liao!!
going to get my own cue... hopefully that will boost my pride in the game.. hehe..

~so raise your hands to heaven and pray...
that we'll be back.. together.. someday..~

vcd shops...

hmm not sure if this is another singaporean trait.. but am i seeing more and more pple getting a kick out of watching a short clip of a vcd that the shop is selling??
i mean its almost as if the shop was selling porn or somethin.. the number of pple crowding round a 21'' tv is amazing
and is not that the shop screens the ENTIRE disc.. its only like a short 10min segment???
but seeing how these pple get transfixed.. oh my... totally out of this world..
the current 'screening' is that of initial D.. so understandably screeching tyres ring throughout the entire underpass.. sch kids..( boys AND girls alike) trying to imitate the way jay chou drives.. (pretty obvious this is a WRONG method to teach driving to these innocuous kids)
even the aunties and uncles arent spared by this.. jamming up the entire walkway..
i mean guys.. they are showing only a 10 min segment.. watch and go lar.. if u want to watch more.. get the darn vcd!! how much only... 10bucks?

but then.. why do i know... damn! im doing it myself...

Very unfortunate result for SPurs.. they were matching CHelski stride for stride, before a hash of a decision so sent Mido off for alleged elbowing.. poor poor decision mr referee..
spirited match from west ham.. though they do seem to have a common trait with LIverpool.. misfiring strikers
west brom too seem to show signs of that style that got them out of relegation.. but again.. poor finishing got them nothing from the game..
milan baros marked his debut with a goal.. once again confirming the fact that EX-liverpool players ALWAYS perform betta away from Anfield.... wats up with that...
Liverpool not playing this wkend.. due to the super cup match against cska moscow.. proving again that benitez is a one european night a match kind of manager.. pulling another escape act in a european final.. cisse could be out.. owen could be back..(YAY!!) hope all this will be settled soon..

after all these years...

another hectic wk passes.. another wkend ready to fly pass me in a flash..
anyways.. finally after wat.. 4-5 years, i finally met up with seng.. still the same reticent self.. and as he so poignantly put it.. some people just dont change.. haha!
armed with a pseudo american accent.. im sure he will strike it out in the economic world..
and now he is heading for london.. seems like he has the world at his feet..
great guy.. wish ya all the best in the pursuit of ur future wife.. dont forget to put me on ur invite list yea my fren.
trying to put in some practice time for my guitar.. but the to-do list just doesnt seem to end.. argh.. but.. the band is gonna make it.. =)

wat the fark...

it doesnt get betta than this...
3 hrs of non-stop profanity spewing.. all done in the confines of a signals laboratory...
knnbccb! wat kind of screwed up mother of all scumshit lab was that???
doesnt help that the teaching assistant was from china.. meaning his ability to convey his knowledge is well.. limited
doesnt help that the china kid next to me also has no farking idea wats going on..
doesnt help that my bro was blardy cursing with me...
doesnt help that the other teaching assistant was secretly being entertained by our profanity spewing, yet oblivious to our dire need of help.
doesnt help that this counts to our final grade
doesnt help that we could have done this later in the year
doesnt help that... we didnt receive any help!!!!
wat the fark!!!

wat a fluke..

hmm dunno if its my browser or blogger.. but cant seem to sign in smoothly these days..
any comp literate pple out there to help??
anyways... chelsea has done it again... winnning when they dont deserve to.. and wat a fluke goal at that too! perhaps its champion's luck.. but how long can this go on?? one thing's for sure though.. they play much betta than liverpool.. bah!!
haiz.. all the labs and tutorials coming in fast and furious.. no time to breathe!! doesnt help that fluid mech and signals are just SSSSSSSsoooooo dumbfounding and befabbling thats its just.. too flabbergasting to describe.. argh!!
gonna start pool training soon.. hopefully that will in some way help in alleviating some agony... haha will be fun i guess!

once again, had to sit through another torrid, horrid, unacceptably boring performance by liverpool.. and as usual, it took a piece of individual brilliance from xabi alonso to secure the points..

when will liverpool ever score a truly team goal???

heck when will liverpool ever score goals??

if pple didnt tell me.. i would have thought liverpool was the one playing with 10 men..

absolute rubbish.. sigh...

anyways.. blockbuster of a match coming up on sunday.. with the champions hoping to get 1 up against the previous champions.. hope it will be a cracker!!

so the EPL results will be a fixture here.. any request for other league results will be considered on a case by case basis.. aiyah go check the results urself lar!

fireworks!!

sparkles sparkles in the sky!

the start of the fireworks at tampines

fireworks at the brightest!

have to apologise.. been rather caught up with sch work lately.. and blardy balloting for tutorials..

amazing how a top 10 university can have such a poor allocated system for students to register for tutorials.. nothing to say.. but f**Ked up...

anyways.. another wk has passed.. another wkend ready to fly past me.. and i dont even know wat the hell am i studying.. wat a way to start a new term..

work is piling.. so is the stress.. hope to be able to shoot some balls regularly this sem.. if i get into the cue club.. and not to mention to be able to jam some tunes too!

EPL start liao...

well well.. its been a hectic wk so far.. and tutorials have not even started!
damn... but thankfully the wk ended on a musical note.. thanks to jam and hop.. but.. wat were they thinking by putting the 2 most professional bands at the start???
quite obvious that half the crowd left after electrico performed.. but then again.. not my problem!
then comes the wked where EPL starts again!! YAY!!
and same ol liverpool just CANNOT deliver the goods needed.. very much the same story last season.. when will they wake up??? against 10 men leh.. benitez needs a real good conk on the head.. irritating.. stay up so late to watch somemore...
pretty impressed with wigan so far(watching them as this post is being churned out), giving the big boy chelsea a good run around.. Good'uns wigan!
the inevitable feeling of the sch wk dawns upon my weary soul.. but no matter.. will try to get the fireworks pics out ASAP... real beauties those NDP fireworks!

disastrous!

wat a bad day!!
1st i went to sch SUPER early just to be in time to ballot for my tutorial classes... and hold and behold.. the classes were not available for balloting.. WTF..
2nd got lost trying to find f*cking LT32.. and its like no link with the LTs AT ALL!!! WTF..
3rd totally flunked my audition for band... how embarrassing!!!!
audition 101: neva.. and i say NEVA change ur audition piece at the LAST moment.. it totally screws u up..
grumble mumble mumble.. fed up of sch life..
i want my holiday again!

dunch wanna go back to sch...

back to sch.. back to stress.. back to misery..
doesnt help that i have 8am lessons too.. wat a bummer!
wat a start to the term as well.. went for lecture 1/2 hr late.. came out 15 min later.. only to go back in 10min later for a REAL lecture.. not a good way to start sch lor..
shit only gathers more mass as it rolls down the hill.. how true is that!
not only did i have to fill some dumb national education survey..(come on govt... do u think we students will fill in our actual thoughts???) the next lecture was a complete knock out.. late + cheem subject + genius competitors = trouble
totally hot weather today too.. never felt so good enjoying aircon in sch like today..
well tmr is daddy's birthday.. as well the nation's too... so..
a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to all!!

computers & pretty ladies?

finally, met up with my neighbour for some male bonding... and where else to bond than sim lim square!!
all the fanciful gadgets and colourful neon lights.. its almost like the geylang for geeks... orgasmic!
hahah but bro.. please... the girls were checking YOU out lor.. not me.. so stop lying to me k.. ur breaking my heart with ur lies... :)
and that brings us to the topic for today... do computers and pretty ladies co-exist?? or more importantly.. *ahem* do geeks and chio-buS ever hang out together?
from the survey me and my bro did... consensus is... a big NO..
how sad!! like how many good looking guys walking ard sim lim.. but no chicks to check them out!! * ahaah alrite alrite.. i know i sound like some male pimp... but thats the truth k!*
so there... let it be known that the latest hunk checking out haunt would be sim lim square.. girls quickly take that down. u wont regret it!! and probably those geeks have tons of money to splash too... so hint hint!
and to end.. BRO the frigging bus 56 bus stop is DAMN far from sim lim lor... almost died TREKKING to the bus stop... STOP LYING TO ME BRO!!

i want to vote!!

its official.. presidential polls on 27th August...
YaY!! now please somebody.. just challenge president Nathan..
yes i know you may not stand much of a chance winning.. but at least give me a chance to vote can???
hahah and you can also enjoy your few weeks of fame during ur campaign trail!
its how ironic that a self proclaimed democracy that singapore is.. her citizens hardly get to vote on anything!!!
argh!! and the only voting we get to do.. we are charged sky high prices!!!
singapore idol and project superstar have shown that singaporeans are not stingy when coming to support their idols... the producers MUST be laughing all the way to the bank now lor...
but nonetheless... Kelly Pan Jia Li is my superstar!!! :)

frailty of life..

accompanied my dad to the hospital for his check-up today.. realised how fortunate i am to have a healthy body at the moment..
warms my heart to see these elderly people, despite the pain they are sufferring, manage a smile at you in acknowledgement..
as life expectancy in singapore increases.. will our bodily function keep up as well?
will we become burdens to our progeny?
will we be able to muster enough courage and happiness like the several of them do...
its an aging population out there..
be thankful for your youth..

what life is...

as you're walking down the streets, looking at people going by, do you wonder what is your place on this planet?
every step you take, every decision you make, all culminates to your final destination... where?
your grave? immortality?
life it seems.. mirrors a piece of connect-the-dots picture..
you start off at a particular point, and continue to join neighbouring dots to sketch out a picture.
which dots we join, which path we take, what picture we will eventually trace out.. is all in HIS loving hands..
God knows the path we should take, for only He knows what our final picture will look like..
thus every dot that we connect is not a random choice, but rather a detail of the great plan He has for us..
if the dots we chose are out of His picture for us, He brings us back, gently or abruptly.
but those that compliment the overall look, adds colour and texture to our mundane life
So.. to those seeking direction, always have faith that the big guy up there has you in His mind.. and let Him guide your hand in completing the wonderful picture of your life...

~oh tell me why
i cant get you out of my mind
no matter how hard i try~

sick liao...

the bug has finally tracked me down.. and bitten me hard..
ever notice how hot the weather is when ur having a sore throat and COLD when ur having a flu??
seems like the weather is playing with ur body...
but still.. managed to make a trip down to Popular.. and was i shocked by the stacks of assessment books kids have nowadays! *stunned*
poor kids probably have to go through 20 yrs of questions even before sitting for a simple class test!
tragedy of the singapore education system.. its students we are producing, not robots!

~in the middle of the night
as i try to feel alright
the thought of you come streaming by
floating right into my mind~

Rawk Oooonnnnnn!

The winners of the recently concluded SChool of Rock, 3 dash1.
Who says there is a dearth of musical talent in singapore??
3 young, unassuming lads heading their way to stardom..
keep it up singapore!
may you produce more talents like them!
P.S. when can i follow in their footsteps... :)

Yay! ouch..

Yay!! Finally got down to getting my mini-Hi fi...
a total case of splash and dash.. i spent maybe 5 mins in courts? so there i was carrying my hi fi home..
but as with the law of physics..
anything that goes up... must come down..
woke up today with not 1.. but 2 blardy ulcers!!!
i tell u.. ulcers are the most god-damning ailment to strike the mouth..
it gives pain, irritation and loss of appetite..
argh!!! veh angry!!! *wince*
anybody out there with a quick fix for ulcers??
help!

high-rise living part 2...

here are more pictures taken 40 storeys above ground..
even had a chance to sneak into 1 of the units for a preview..hee hee...
but such a pity that the units are quite small!!
really like pigeon hole in the sky..
box in the air..
but its worth a look anyway..
so any potential house hunters...
the 40 storeys are probably a good place to start!!

high-rise life..

having neighbours that live in a 40 storey building is highly irritating..
1st u have to content with the high volume of human traffic that emerges from the vertical piece of concrete every morning..
and 2nd.. they have this darn top of the world view of singapore..(see left)
the view is.. veh nice!!!!
and not to mention the splendid breeze that comes with it...
hmm will the flats at duxton be the same??
only time will tell...

falling sick...

very sluggish day.. wasnt helped by the fact that the flu bug has decided to give me 1 X good bite.. veh irritating..
anyways.. went down to PS to change for a digital set up box.. came back and found out that there are now over 200+ channels on cable tv...
wassup with the world today man.. 200+ channels... how much of each channel can u watch each time???
made a trip down to the airport to send a relative off to melbourne... another aussie-heading family.. would i join the bandwagon too??
had dinner at the food court in terminal 1... only 1 word describes... EXHORBITANT!!!!
9 bucks for grilled fish.. 4 bucks for prawn mee... *faint*
note to self: always send pple off on a FULL stomach.. or plan to eat OUTSIDE of the airport..
met up with another bro at nite.. and was bloody conned into paying1.65 for a useless cup of hot tea at mos burger when i could have gotten horlicks for 80cents.. thanks alot JB..
but it was fun listening to him bitch abt his comm stuff, very animated too i must add.. with all the f*cks and wat nots.. hope the aunties around us didnt brand us as ah bengs... or menace to the society...
wo men shi du shu ren auntie... wo men bu hui hai ni de..
need to find a way to burn off the 2 plates of char tao kuei..

Kelly! wo yong yuan zhi chi ni!!

Alrite.. to start off.. i would just like to apologise to my bro for not going down to help him move stuff into hostel.. but bro!! u didnt answer my sms.. wat am i suppose to do??
anyways.. but to topic.. kelly just blew the competition away tonite!!
slow or fast songs.. you nailed it girl! bravo!
wo hen ENJOY ni de performance!! hahaa..
with looks and a solid voice to match, ur the bomb!
come wat may.. u will always be a superstar to me!!
jia you!!

aunties...

im not sure abt u guys.. but this has been happening far too often...
each time im waiting at the bus stop, staring innocently into space.. some elderly auntie would punctuate my space with this classic sentence..
"xiao di ah, xian zai she me shi jian?"
wah lao eh... auntie ah.. do i look like some time announcer to u??!?
and im sure there are other pple at the bus stop that are wearing watches!
why poor me????
do i have an auntie killer face???(not that i mind.. but why cant i 'kill' girls my age too???)
but being nice ME, i happily oblige..
so to all the aunties out there...
xian zai de shi jian shi... mai shou biao de shi jian
(for those not hanyu pinyin inclined, i just told the aunties to go buy their own time announcer)

Long or short hair???

Just had dinner with my bros YX and RC...
been a long time since i met RC.. always busy with his escapades and dates..
appreciate his cancellation of dates with several potential wives to spend an evening with us..heehee
ANIwaes.. dear RC brought up an interesting topic abt guy's hair.
Wat's the preference of sg girls for a guy's hair??
according to RC, most prefer guys with short hair...
hmmm is that why AH BING GEs are so popular??heehee:)
but how short is short??? BOtak? GI style? ARmani? Sec sch boy style?
also makes me wonder why aunties like korean male stars that spot long hair...
is there some skew in the demographic??
but gals preferences aside.. guess i really do need a change in hairdo...
so... any hairstylist or make-over artist out there?? hello???
potential customer here:)

Hello World!

A big hello to the world of blogging!
It has been a long while since i last left my mark on the sands of the internet..
but new surroundings augers a new beginning.. and the setting up of a new "home"!
well as it is.. school is just about to start again..BOOOOO...
but as usual.. good things must come to an end.. and the hols has just zoomed by...
and it is this very period of time just before sch starts that the ugly side of singaporeans surface..
bidding for modules can be a bitch.. but its the irritating KIASU buggers that cause even bigger headaches by dumping all points at the beginning of bidding!
i mean.. pls lar.. unless ur some final yr student with frigging too many points to spare and dont know wat the hell to do with them, DONT frigging raise the points so high!
its exhorbitant!
come on lar.. dont scare the freshies like that.. very frightening for them to realise their mods were outbidded by 1000+ pts.. DA WU JIAN XIAO WU ya know...
its really time sg students stop living up to their kiasu status and be more analytical..

NKF... yet again

call for transparency...
but will there be real transparency?
is it possible?
peanuts worth 600k.. gold taps in the house
while the rest of us live like a mouse
