champions!

never thought i would say this but, THANK YOU ARSENAL!

and finally, after two seasons..

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!



wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

a bad tackle, a lost game, a car accident

did a full shift on saturday..and was so bored waiting for my dinner to arrive i did this,






then sunday came, and i found out there's a new day between friday and saturday, and its called "Lisa"






went for a match with joseph and his team. didn't play very well, we went from 2-1 up at half time to 3-4 at full time =/ took a bad tackle to the right ankle when the opposition midfielder tackled me and got my ankle instead of the ball. but its ok now i guess.

then after the match, we had a screech of tires and a loud bang. ran out and found out there was an accident between a car and lorry. dunnoe who's right or wrong but it did look kinda bad. fortunately there was no major injuries, just probably a concussion for the driver.

tiredness sets in

yesterday's cage was pretty good. ended up with a trio of malay dudes who were quite good.

not that i did much, but i was still very much tired after along with a sore left ankle =/ came home and konked out from 6-9 woke up for dinner, packed the house a lil before feeling extremely tired ard 12. proceeded to try to sleep but couldn't.

sucks.

the feeling of tiredness but not being able to sleep. konked out at ard 3 in the end. had to wake up at 8 to bring stuff out to give to the recycling company. then konked out till 12. lols.

well at least i didn't follow up with my sleep plan of sleeping at 9 on sunday and waking at 7pm on monday =p


weather looks like its gonna rain and another good day to sleep in. but i've got work to do!

sucks.


btw..this is post #350! yay!

boredom

worked at century on sunday with sebas. first time officially. had to rush off though cuz of a family dinner and that the night dude was late. had a lil scare during dinner when sebas called to say that there was 20 bucks missing from the drawer =.=

turned out to be a miscalculation but that is way too common over there. really contemplating doing that for a month. like what if it keeps happening?!

dinner was alright, some place at kitchener road. going to my aunt's place wasn't. for those who wish what it is to travel in india, just head to the backlanes near mustapha centre. whole friggin place full of them. no respect for traffic either. lost count of how many times my cousin had to horn them to get out of the way. i would have bet joseph would just run them down.

mahjonged the whole night and watch spurs surrender a 2 goal lead to chelski. makes me think, spurs have now scored 7 goals and conceeded 6 goals in 2 away games. heard someone made a big score on 6 goals. eventually slept at 4 and woke up at like close 1. headed to century to meet sebas to collect my pay then home and to Jq's to table tennis till 11. reached home and konked. so i woke up at 11 =P

just noticed that the rain (which is pouring) is coming in at 45 deg angle. wow. boredom is settling in. i should go curl up again and nap *yawnz*

*pant* ACROSS!!! *pant*

oh boy. do i feel old! my legs agree with me and they say, they feel 10 years older =/

the Grand Plan being completed, kudos to the drivers, joseph, jeremiah, danny, freddy! Thanks for allowing me the "use" of your cars to get everyone there and most back. Thanks to all who made it, adrian, kai (hope you two get better soon! meet on the pitch someday soon! ;), ben, jq, chan, elliot, haogen, zhuang, tian lang & friends (bryan, samuel, tianyu (?) and that big dude-sorry didn't get your name *grinz*), lian yi, lian kuang and the above-mentioned drivers.

i hope you guys had a great game and a great time :) i know i did! amidst a lil heated challenges beautiful football and excellent goals were scored.. thank you for all your time and energy. hahaha..i totally ran myself dry, feet refused to respond the brain's prompting to run for that ball which seemed to run so fast tonight (or rather this morning)


in retrospect, i enjoyed organizing as well as being part of this plan ;) as an average soccer player (and photographer, and pool player, and friend, and person) it really  felt like a dream to play amongst friends and everyone having a good time, and feeling that youth again ;)

thank you all once again. it has been a morning to remember! =p

oh why won't the rain stop...

quite eventful 3 days (:

monday -
actually it starts on sunday night when i watched chelski STEAL a victory from arsenal's grasp in the league cup. a rise of a wonderkid, a blatant offside goal, a bad kick to terry's face (which left him unconscious and very nearly killed him), a great goal (by the one who scored that offside goal) and a bad brawl is how i sum up the match.

my goodness, i almost thot terry would have died after that full blooded kick from diaby. complete accident of course. but utterly scary.

had a couple of drinks and table tennis in the wee hours of the morning with jon and jq. played fairly well heh. 11-1 jon! =p *does "danny stare"*

woke up really really late like at 12. rushed down to klassic to meet the Chinaman, YH and took pictures of his cues so far, an 8 pointer James White, 9 pointer Franklin-era Southwest and a Cosnogcenti. beautiful cues (:

made my way to qshop, hung ard and took photos of an Omen plain jane and then basically chilled out and ate the taipoica chips there =p before deciding to go for basketball at aycc, met magdalene on my way there (she was on her way to NUH)

haha the bus i was on was like breaking down, so the bus driver took out the number plate on the front and sides! win! express service heh =p

tuesday -
resolved to wake up earlier but ended up procrasinating my hair cut and photo for my admission forms, ended up going to qshop ard 5 and hanging out there till 8 and back to century to shoot a few racks with jo and jere. had quite a bit of mind, so pool was a pleasant but insufficient distraction.

witnessed 3 fender benders through the day, one on my way to the shop, one near the shop and one on my way to century. sheesh. i was jokin with lisa that i should walk home so i wouldn't be in one then.

wednesday -
electricians and carpenters came by in the morning to fix up the loose ends and the new lighting! 95% done. left with the painters on the 8th of march to finish up. new lights are pretty (: glad i have better taste than my designer =p hahahaha!
and it rained the entire day! met gee and headed to century for a couple of sets, won 7-6, 6-7, 7-4 for a 2-1 victory. ok lah both of us were shooting quite off, he was rusty, i was erm...distracted. since i thot bball was off, played a set with sebas (won 7-5 but i didn't really play well lah) and then headed to jq's to play table tennis. didn't get to repeat monday morning's domination =p (perhaps chem A does help ;)

ok two incidents that pissed me off today, i was waiting for a cab and it was raining. i saw this woman who was flaggin cabs down but they didn't wanna take her fare (dunno why) and then she would step back into the shelter and wait till the next wave of cabs came. normally i would give whoever is there earlier the cab, but since she didn't want to wait for it in the rain and kept going back i decided to just stand there. when i got the first cab, she literally jumped up behind me and said, "excuse me, but i came first." jumped into the cab and drove off. the hell man. you want the cab, you stand in the rain for it.

then JUST NOW my half-wit, brainless neighbour comes over and knocks on my door demanding that something from my house woke him up. when asked what it was, he said "i dunno" geez he couldn't open his windows to find out something downstairs was making that noise. but just pinned blame on us. get a life dude.

btw...have to make an insanely long trip to paya lebar to collect my cue becuz the company refinishing it forgot to follow my instructions =/

owells hopefully pictures come out tmrw!

OH AND IF YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE PLAN FOR THE CAGE ON MY BIRTHDAY CONTACT ME!

crapcrapcrap

soccer today was bad. losing 10-2 even in an exhibition was just no reason for a bad perfomance.

no squad discipline at all, we were all over the place.

my ankles feel like they are 33 years old. old and wearing out.


anyways, some people need to remember its not that easy to organize an event, let alone a last minute one. murmuring and complaining really does NOT go easy on the ears esp if that person has put it effort to run it well.

in short, if you think you can do better, why not volunteer to do it in the first place instead of complaining?

the CAGE again

went down today and had a blast, except for the part where i twisted my ankle while trying to cross and it got caught on the netting.

not bad, nice touches, great teammates heh. got winded by my own teammate in the end too. took a ball into the chest..ouch.


this weak old body is not meant for crazy stuff anymore :(

feeling old.. body dying

heh ever felt so out of breath? I did and after two solid games. Was playing @ the CAGE with sheva and friends, came in one game and was so "zhuan" (out of breath) by the 3rd game. maybe i've gotta lay off the lunch or push it back heh.

apart from that soccer @ the CAGE was quite fun. played overally well and topped off with a goal (haha..still can't beat sat's tally of 8?)

anyways, decided to do something a lil crazy and go for basketball that evening as well. Paid the price on thurs morning, waking up like a bag of bones.

so playing again just a while later @ the CAGE. heh to those who don't know what it is, please go and check it out sometime, http://www.thecage.com.sg

of gashes and skin

Soccer today was great apart from the rain which came and went thrice. Played right through it and enjoyed myself though, best moments were before the rain where I somehow managed to "ole" one guy, turn another and slot the ball into the goal :P

the bad moments were actually BEFORE the game. ran to pick up a ball and fell forward onto the drain covers and ground. that makes it twice in 4 days -_-

scratches and small wounds on the left palm and a 3 cm wound on the right. at least now both knees are balanced, hahaha!

apart from that, ain't celebrating CNY this year but well there's quite a lot to do at home. when does (un)packing ever end?!

so to all readers, Happy Chinese New Year!

90% Complete

Here's an update for now.

Carpenters came by the first 3 days to do up all the new furniture and 
cupboards etc.

SO i finally have a new bed to sleep on after "squatting" on 3 chairs to sleep 
every night (looking much like a homeless person sleeping on the benches at the park)

anyways, minor screw-up with the tv/video sigh. so no tv as yet. hopefully it will be fixed soon!



On other notes, YF beat FEBC/Gethsamane at the Lorong Lew Lian Field 3-1! (:

I owe photos and i'm lazy :P

Let me get through the last bit of renovation work before I post them.

If you thought packing was hard, unpacking is actually much much harder!
