Spinning head...

Tues: A Mr. Wong from Bukit Timah Shopping Centre called Ngee Ann (NP) Student Affairs to contact me to contact him. Make sense? Anyway, it was because a cleaner found my wallet in the basement 1 toilet that morning. So, they found my student card in there, contacted NP, NP contacted me and yes, I’ve got back my beloved wallet. So that idiot who took it wasn’t that stupid afterall… I’m not gog to take back wht I’ve cursed and sweared about that person, but will only lighten it by saying he or she isn’t that stupid afterall.

Tmr have to do encoding liao. Not all my stuff are that ready as yet. Die liao. I think I’ll have to start gog to school everyday, early, to do my project. Gotta try to finish it in time, which I dun thk I’ve plenty left.

Thk I’m getting not so sickly, not coughing or sneezing or sniffing too much liao., except for the ever-there heavy and spinning heads. Dunno why aso… Lazy to see doc, cos no time. Mayb its becos my pillow’s too high, too low. Mayb I din zzz well enuff. Mayb I need more zzz. Mayb I zzz too much. Sigh…

So, tis Sat is the match… Hope both the guys’ and gals’ team win by a HUGE margin! Hehe…

Dreamland time… Zzzzzzzz…

Suay... Damn suay...

Damn suay these few days…

My body finally gave way and protested to how I'm living my life. Was down with fever when I got home on Fri. By the way, I was already coughing… Took some Biogesic, wrapped myself up real tight (so I could use the perspiring method to get well and feel better) and went to sleep.

Sat, lagi best. Match only started for 15 mins and rain just pelted down. So damn bloody heavy yet such a shallow shelter. When the wind blew in, only those on the last bench were safe. So, the match will be postponed till nxt Sat. Went for dinner at KAP. The rest went to karaoke while I decided to head home. Dun like to sing when I’m sick, especially when I’m having a sore throat, flu or cough or any illness to do with my nasal and breathing system. Was feverish again when I went home. Seems that the flu virus is starting to attack. Took Biogesic, applied Vicks, slept till almost 3pm today.

Woke up today to non-feverish me, but was coughing, sniffing (can’t blow my nose cos there isn’t much to clear) and sneezing the whole day. No point gog down to Kallang since I woke up at this hour. Packed some stuff, washed some stuff, ironed some clothes and finished up another of my stills (which had been left hanging for some time) for my DVD project.

Oh yah, did I mention some idiot stole my wallet? I know it’s partly my fault for leaving it around, but I really dun mind if you would wanna take all my money and chap-ba-lang membership cards but just leave my I.C and ATM card lah… Take also no use, unless u wanna use my I.C to borrow money from loansharks. My wallet is already precious enough for you to take cos it’s a JPG, extinct design… By the way, if that idiot is a girl, I hope she kana _ _ _ _ - _ _ _ _ for her retribution. If that idiot is a guy, I hope he kana some kinda accident and no more _ _ _ _ _ _ ‘_ - _ _ _ !!!

Argh!!! Frustrations, PMS and stress… All not very helpful. Kinda short-tempered, moody, cranky nowadays… Argh…

Memories of...

Shld I or shld I not trust him. I really dunno. I’m too busy and stressed now to thk abt such stuff. Shld I, shld I not? “Good horse dun eat the grass it has turned back on”. K, not for the moment…

Thk Mingchen’s b-day celebration’s not over yet. B-day song over the phone on Mon, pool on Tues, b-day cake today. Thk thr’ll be mud war tmr. Cos it rained heavily today and the field, I guess is bloody flooded. Too bad I wun be joining in, if not it’ll be “jap roti wif peanut butter and strawberry jam”. The cramp almost killed me today. Buay tahan… Maybe that’s y I seem moody, grouchy, grumpy, touchy, blah blah blah today. Sorry guys… Gomene…

Been irc-ing with the team everynite since Mon. We have since developed a practice of taking over pple’s nicks. Hehe… Jiamin, Qi, Coach (Ken Toh) and me had been on irc without being online. Dunno who are the other victims… Juliana came into our chatroom. Din chat much wif her or the rest cos was playing a game at #cobratrivia.

Man Utd won 1-0 for the first Champions League game of the season courtesy of David Backham. Heng man, at least picked up 3 points. Liverpool drew with Borussia Dortmund. Why din my Michael Owen score?

Will be going down to Michael’s shop, opp Haig Girls’, tmr with Chee. She’ll be getting a glove while I need to get boots or maybe cleats will sound a better choice. Hehe… But I wun be an idiot to get metal cleats and hurt myself. Guess will look look see see tmr.

Heard that Fri the world will be on high alert, standby. Guess that someone wants to act big bro afterall. I understand that this is an irritating matter, hard to swallow indeed. But taking innocent lives for revenge? I thk that’s a big NO NO. Sigh… End of world is nearing… What happened to the so-called World Peace? Had never seen war and will never want to taste it. The last 2 were bad enuff. “Why, tell me why…” Bakayarou!!! Seshinbyo!!!

Hope the world dun end so soon, pls… I have yet to tok to him. Really miss him man. Why does Superpool at Bukit Timah look like Pavillion at Tampines? Blue tables, low lighting, blue chalk… All remind me of him and his mannerisms while playing pool. He, forehead creasing aft missing an easy shot. He, looking at me, toking to me while waiting for his turn to cue, wondering and worrying if I’ll be bored (cos I din kn how to play only till recently). He, giving me a peck right before he steps up to the table. He, chalking his cue. He, rolling his cue on the table to get a straight one. He, he, he, bringing tears to my eyes once again. Thk I’m not trying hard enuff aftall. Really feel like smashing my head into the wall, so I dun have to thk of him…

Blabbering Time

Hmm, today got quite a lot to blabber on… One thing at a time…

1) Congrats to Hong… Got a home run on Saturday against NUS courtesy of their shortstop having an error. Hehe… Kinda morale booster, only if it was done earlier in the game, thn results might be different. The team kept suan-ing him that he wouldn’t be able to zzz that nite. Anyway, the gals will be fighting for the 2nd or 3rd with Singapore Poly (SP) this coming Saturday. Somehow feels a bit funny to play wif them cos somehow or rather, the players know each other.

2) I feel that I’m f***ing being misunderstood. Someone told me that she heard that I’ve got feelings for a very gd/ close frd of mine. This grievance must be addressed! The following points are definite valid reasons why I’ll NERVER EVER fall for him. (A) I’m thking of my ex still. (B) He has ‘target’ liao. (C) Although we are close, I DON’T feel anything for him cos he’s NOT my type of guy. (D) Just CANNOT make it lor. Sigh, being close frds also kana say… Luckily I’m not close wif all the guys, if not sure gt pple say I FLIRTING one… Hehe…

3) Some 2 cents worth: Someone out there thk he’s BIG BRO. Wanna wipe out terrorism in abt 60 countries. Can’t he just leave it to UN? Wah piang… I kn yr country kana attack liao, but declaring war is definitely not a very clever idea lor. Sigh… (Suddenly thking if I’ll kana for toking abt this. F*** care…)

4) Damn f***ing stressed up! Project’s like due soon and I still got lots to catch up on. Here’s wht happened. Went to some stupid computer store in “THE IT MALL” to look for the software that I’ll need, but they ran out of stock. The sale person say that stock WILL (I repeat, WILL…) come in within that week. He told me to leave behind my contact no. and say he’ll call if the stock comes in. Bloodly hell, it been f***ing 2 weeks liao… Damn f***ing tulan!!! How to do my project like that, Then went to sch early to do today, something f***ed up. Did a RAM preview and ended up with colour bars!!! So I guess hv to redo, unless my lecturer finds a way out. Wah lan, spent an hour plus on that leh!!! Time’s running short and I dun hv that bloodly software at home, still got a research thingy to do. ARGH!!!

5) Thk asking my mum to stop having a maid at home is a gd thing afterall. If not, I think my sis n I will end up being bloody spoilt *tu* brats… At least I dun go round screaming and shouting, hoping what I’m looking for will just appear right in front of me. At least I kn how to cook and wash my own clothes, and I mean hand wash, not machine wash. Till now, I still dunno how this new washing machine works. The old one spoilt and I think this one has been ard for more thn half a year. Maybe I’ve gotten use to using my hands to wash my clothes… Best of all, I DON’T go round saying, “Huh?!?! I dun (fill in the blank). I get my maid to do it for me!”

6) Think Amok’s ‘flaking’… So I guess that freak’s finishing his poxing. Hehe… Got someone to watch A.I with liao… Muahahahahaha…

Guess that’s all I wana blabber abt today… Nitey nitezz… By the way, I’ve just gt this hunch that I’ve gt addicted to pool…

NUS match (Before)

Kinda 'early' for this entry rite? But, who cares... Was chatting away on the phone while downloading songs, now that's what broadband can do for u... Hehe...

All lot of rumours, stories and tales have been said and told about the terrorist attack on NY's WTC. Even saying that Nostradamus' prediction might come true. Just hope that war will not be declared just becos of retaliation, if not, what Nostradamus had said might really come true. This is just my two cents worth, but actually I have lots of other opinions regarding about this "act of war". Maybe whn I manage to collect all my thoughts, I'll type an entry jus toking about this.

The teams will be playing against NUS later. Really hope that they will win. Getting quite excited for them already...

Time to go dreamland... zzz...

Orchard Road

It was about 8.30am on Sunday. I was on bus no. 7, on my way to meet some of my team mates at Orchard Emerald. From there, we would go down to the Kallang ‘Diamond’ to catch some baseball or softball matches. The matches, organised by SBSA (Singapore Baseball & Softball Association) are played league styled. I received a call on my mobile, saying that ALL of them will be 15 minutes late. Since I was nearing the bus stop outside Lucky Plaza, I reckon that after buying breakfast and Sunday’s copy of The New Paper from 7-11 and then taking a slow walk down to Orchard Emerald, I would still be “early”. I dropped at the bus stop, bought the stuff I wanted and headed down to Orchard Emerald.

As I took my slow walk down, I saw a different side of Orchard Road. It was a different sight when compared from what you would see at other times. Times like peak hours, shopping hours, from 10.30pm to 12mn and from around 9am to 9.30am. Yes, 9am to 9.30am. I would be at Orchard Road around that time when I was still working at Takashimaya. Those would be those days where I had to report for morning or full shift at work. Compared to the 8.30am ‘look’ of Orchard Road, it was different although there was only at least half an hour’s difference. The 8.30am ‘look’ was kinda miserable. Very few people on the streets except for a tourist couple walking in front of me, a few Filipinos were sitting at the stone benches outside Lucky Plaza, only 2 service staff in 7-11 and none of the shops were opening yet. The 9am ‘look’ had more cars passing by, more people on the street especially tourists taking a walk, more Filipinos waiting around at Lucky Plaza and the sound of the metal “gates” sealing the entrances of the shops can be heard lifting up.

Besides the beach or the park, this is a sight of (can I call that) relaxation. It kinda have that “you zai xian zai” feeling, no one doing much or anything at all. Even the few patrol and security guards I saw looked like they were enjoying the peace and quietness of the normally bustling Orchard Road. Also, I dun think there’s really a need to say that they look in need of some “chess time”, right? Hehe…

I know I’m being an idiot here, but if you have the urge to relax at the beach or something, why not wake up even earlier, take a stroll down Orchard Road. It’d be an eye-opener in some kinda sense. Maybe that will be the day when you’ll notice stuff in Orchard Road which would never have caught your eye in the past, like me. Well, in the past, I’ve never noticed that the building that houses Rolex showroom had barricades and notices warning people that this is a private property and sitting on the steps are not allowed. Singaporeans reading this, give it a try, k? I might give it a try again, (only walking at a slower pace and opening up my eyes a bit more) if I’m gonna meet my team mates this coming Sunday.

England won 5-1

Writing an entry at this unearthly hour cos I couldn't get to sleep. Have to wake up at 7am later cos gog down to Kallang to catch softball and baseball matches. Since I can't get to sleep at this hour, I might as well be better off staying awake...

Nothing interesting on telly now, not even cable. It's Sept liao, SCV still owns me Telescope, a monthly magazine that show the listings for the month, . Dunno when it will arrive. Real Player refuse to work, so no live stream radio today.

Watched the England vs Germany World Cup Qualifier just now. England won 5-1. Really din expect it. Was only looking forward to a draw or England winning by a goal at most. Germany was always considered a stronger team. Owen scored a hat-trick, the other goals were scored by Heskey and Gerrard. Well done England! Well done Owen!

Shld I force myself to sleep? So afraid that I can't wake up. Scar-li I fall asleep at Kallang later. Sigh... Mayb I shld take a nap after all...

Gambate!!!

Today's test quite ok, think shld be able to pass considering I only read through my notes twice. Registration for IVP closes today and the gals' team has yet to choose a captain. Coach's away for reservist, so can't contact him. No choice, so appoint JM first, cos she's the captain last year. If there are any changes, we can change it among ourselves cos its only for registration purposes. Listening to acid jazz streaming online thru real player. Kinda fast tempo, making me kinda wana stand up and shake a bit... Hehe... But the stream's kinda soft, turning up my speakers quite a bit, till the "oh-ohs" of my icq are so damn overpowering. Solution: disable all sounds of my icq...

Read an entry written abt love. How love hurts yet we are still willingly letting ourselves go into it. Love is risky. Being swept off your feet till mountains high and being let go till u fall and break into million pieces... These 2 areas are only drawn by an imaginary exteremly thin line. Yet, we are willing to take this gamble. Sigh... "Wen shi jian qing wei he wu, zhi jiao ren sheng si xiang xu" 'Nuff said about love, not really in the right mind to talk abt it...

Sabishi ne... Demo, daijiobu! Watashi genki gambate ne! Kare koibito teimas. Demo, watashi wa suki kare, aishiteru ne! Doshite watashi wasurenai, kare o kangae teimas! Ne, watashi gambate! Gambate! My Jap's like coming back to me. Hehe...
