sry for not blogging for sometime. or rather a long time...

its been a week of lectures n tutorials. wad do u expect me to blog abt? sch ends at 5. when i get home, i'm too damn tired to do a shit.

but i can blog abt ytd...

after sch ended at 10.25, i had a consultation to buckup my math. i din do de assignments we're supposed to do. so i put up a classic puss-in-boots facade. haha. luckily, de tutor took pity n let me off. dere's jus too much work to complete de tutorial. i only managed to answer 30% of her enquiries during de consultation. haha. if i were her, i would have given myself a gd tight slap. i mean, i was lik an @$$hole sitting dere responding "err, how ah?" and "ahh, dunnoe ah". haha. wouldn't u have given me a slap? even Mahatma Gandhi would have done tt. hahaha.

after a sweaty time wif de patient tutor, i went to de library to hand in my 1st project consisting of 6 pages of essays. pheww. satu balak da lepas. i den exited de sch b4 de minimum allowed release time of 1205. went home. bathed. ate. den went out again. for fri prayers.

after prayers, went back to sch for cca. shooting. i broke my highscore of 76. it's now 84! woohooo! baik shad! watched a bit of de mjc vs srjc match till half-time. half-time scoreline, 1-1. den went to play street at de usual. played gk all de way. too worn out to play outfield or rather outcourt. won a few matches.

den...nightfall, as usual, de demons came out to play. my team was pitted against Baby's team. we put up a great fight. n finally, after a long wait... WE WON! we defeated the giants. we got a well deserved victory! it was such a pleasure n a huge honour. we were rested for a few more matches as it was de other teams' turn to play. den, i got de shock of my life. Baby wanted me to play for his team! AGAIN! even after a dismal performance last time. n dis time, he even pointed to me. he wanted me n me only to play for him. SPECIFICALLY me. i asked him if he was sure n won't regret de decision. he assured me de best. however, i let him down. AGAIN. losing 2-0. but dis time, he wasn't angry at all. in fact, he applauded me n gave me words of encouragement. wow.

den came de last match. i tried my best ever. diving to save a one-on-one n putting my body between de posts n a rembat. de impact of de rembat almost affected my stability but i remained composed. however, we lost de match. after de defeat, i went home...after wad my frens call a fantastic performance.

ytd...
played street soccer wif st45. we din get de jerseys. we haven even decided on de colour. wasted my time ransacking my drawer for $. but its ok. initially, i played as striker. made some surprise tackles which were kindda nice. haha. i also earned a few fans. chanting "Crouch! Crouch!" which was printed at de back of my jersey. dey made funny commentators too. haha. i scored a goal against de half-naked goalkeeper. haha. it was kindda cool. i stopped de ball which was in mid-air behind me via a half-scorpion wif my right leg. i den pushed it forward to a comfortable position n placed it sweetly to de left. tt proved to be my solitary goal of de session. i played a few more matches as striker but din make full use of my chances.

den, it was nightfall. de demons come out to play. from de shadows dey emerged...teams of high caliber. teams tt u only dream of playing for. it is such a time tt The Stallion is forced back into his stable. den They came. de Real Madrid of Tampines. but sth was missing. dey were forced to recruit immediately. i did not let dis opportunity go to waste. for de 1st time in hist. i played for de all-stars. we won 3 matches in a row. de 4th was lost due to my amateur blunder. de same one tt made me infamous 3 years ago. i could c disappointment in eyes of greats hu r not used to losing. esp aft only 3 matches. i noe de outcome. a 3 match stint, n a free transfer back to where i call home, st45. to mark de end of my spell, i shook hands wif dem. apologising for my fatal mistake. it seems tt Baby, angered by de lost, was not keen to associate wif me. some ppl jus cant lose. in de end, he did shake my hand.

after a few more matches, i handed de keys to my Harley to a trustworthy FD. i was too tired to cycle back. i went home by bus.

dunnoe wts is wrong wif my comp. cant run some shit called activex. i tried everything but still cant. wts. now i cant enjoy any form of media on blogs n frenster. stupid rite. i hope it goes to normal, like it always does. anyways, its been a while since i last blogged. really sorry. cos i've been really busy dese days. so time for updates!

tue...
went to print our jerseys. ridz n i. i waited at afghan for a record 1h45mins! n tt's de longest time i've waited for someone n i ever will. de shop at afghan's closed too. so after such a long waiting time, i decided to go there instead. on my way, i saw de cause of it all. a huge jam caused by a pileup accident. dere were fatalities. oh dear. a car was smashed n de whole thing looked really scary. it was near husnul's hse. if u turn left, its wsps. if u go straight, ur heading for changi. dere were major jams on both roads. i snapped a photo of de longest bus jam i've ever seen. 12 buses in all. most of dem double-decked.

after meeting ridz, we went to loyang point. sad to say, de shopowner is s real noob. i wanted a barclays logo on my no. but he din even noe wad's barclays. so yeah. wth. we decided to go to tamp via mrt. de shop ridz wanted to go to was extinct. haizz... we went to de shop near firdaus's hse. n it was open. we had a tough time deciding on de font n colour. cos we wanted to make our jerseys look as real as possible. after being de last customers at de shop, we headed home.

go for a five mins break b4 reading de rest ok...

wed...
mbk n i went to changi.....airport. wad were u thinking? n we din go dere to luk arnd. we went dere to study. yes. it's time to face jc life. short hair, 24/7 studying. however, as everyone would have guessed, we studied but one page. haha. we spent de entire time exploring n cracking jokes. haiz... we met some mjc peeps dere. BUT unlike us, dey were studying. mac luked like a library. dere were more papers than fries. at 8, we went home.

jus returned from another wedding. 3 course. ok ok lah de food.

ytd...
went to mbk's sis wedding. de decor was sweet. black n white. his relatives were as gd-looking as him. de gang n i became "The Blockers". haha. our job was to prevent the groom from entering de compound to marry de bride. in order for him to break our 'wall'. he must appease (bribe) us. haha. sweet ah. half de 'wall' drifted away n only 4 of us were left to de de honours. dis tradition is supposed to b done by male members of de bride family. i myself dunnoe y we were chosen. haha. we had a great meal after a torrid time waiting for vacant seats.

after de wedding, we went to a nearby mosque for prayers. we den unanimously decided to donate our bribe to de mosque. sulaimi had de honour of slotting to cash in. $10. we did not make full use of our free time thereafter as we all headed home.

on fri...
we went to de IT fair at suntec. 4 lvls were occupied. hell of a lot of items up for sale. v crowded. i got de external hard disk tt i've always wanted. cos i keep reformating my comp. so wif dis new baby, i dun hav to feel bad de next time i reformat cos i hav it all backed-up. it has also been a long time since gd pal daryl ong kept my documents at his pc. it's time to take it all back. anyway, it was a Maxtor 80GB for $79. gd deal ah.

after de fair, we played futsal at de usual place. i cycled dere. as usual, i get stares from de public n even dose hu already noe abt it. (if u've seen my bike, u'll understand). haha. dun get me wrong, i LOVE de stares. tt's y i ride it in de 1st place. haha. a member of de public even smiled to me n gave me the thumbs-up sign while he was cycling past me. haha. sweet.

ok ok. de matches. i played gk throughout. n i kept playing n playing cos most teams dun have enuf ppl n needed a gk. so well, hellofa gd time. towards de end of my playtime, i finally met de legendary player dey've all been talking abt, Baby. yes, tt's wad dey call him. but dun b fooled by de name. he has made a fool of many players in de court. n all dose stories were true. he IS tt skillful. den dere was Wan. a pure Rembateer (a noun which i give to players hu have mastered the Rembat). hearing de sound which de ball makes wen it comes in contact wif de wall from a rembat already made me sweat. my team lost to dem twice. both 2-1 losses. we could've won. but we gave a gd account of ourselves. after rounds of matches, i cooled down...by sitting down. haha. i den cycled home.

yeah! i got into shooting.
din noe it was such a hot cca. ppl were going like "omg! u got into shooting?!?! wow!". kindda syiok sia. haha.

i learnt tt ridz got a photoshoot on his last day of work. fathin got 1 too (it wasn't his last day of work). fathin's was cool. ridz had a photoshoot with de whole bunch of Gold Eagle ppl. tt's one hellofa shoot. come to think of it, i had none at any of my 3 workplaces except for a few which i took photos of myself n a couple which i took with ridz. haizz...
but it's ok. ridz deserved such a farewell. he served for quite a long time. n he ruled de centre-line. i believe all those in de sales line deserve such a treatment as well. cos u guys could sell thousands of dollars worth of goods while i cant even sell a packet of keropok udang (prawn crackers). haha. but i deserve a pat on de back atleast right? well, a firm handshake by mr charles was enuf for me i guess.

but i won't rule out a return to Singpost.

watched Meet The Spartans with ridz on sun, after buying jerseys at paya lebar. it was really funny. some parts may b nonsensical to some of u. but to dose hu have a huge sense of humour, dis is a must watch. but if u're saving money, get de pirated cd instead. haha. cos de cinema effects dun really help much in ur enjoyment of de movie. for a good laugh, go wif frens hu laugh a lot. i dun understand a couple of punchlines but de laughter of some cinema-goers made me laugh as well. so, i guess tt helps. haha.

but if u haven't watched Jumper. CATCH IT NOW! n i mean NOW! for dis movie, dun watch from cds. unless if u have a high-definition flat screen tv with home theatre system n u're planning to buy de blu-ray disk. de cinema effects make de movie nicer. seriously.

to raidah- sry for not attending. but i do wish u a happy happy happy happy happy birthday.
