Things are so screwed up! Firstly, the computer that I've been slaving over to fix had a simple problem - The new RAM I bought for it was faulty. Argh! Those assholes at Sim Lim sell faulty stuff man. I wish I could get compensation for my time wasted.. At least now it works and I hope they exchange a workable piece of RAM for the faulty shit they gave me.
And I'm beginning to hate CAD (Computer Aided Design). The assignment is so fucking tedious. It's not difficult, just tedious, boring and overall a waste of time. I just finished it, with much copying from people, and I'm really shagged now. I was already shagged doing circuit design in class just now. Imagine connecting components that are fucking in a mess.. A real headache. It's like playing some puzzle game..
I need sleep and exercise.. Damn this long schooling hours..

The whole team played well today. We finally played as a team. Unfortunately, 2 dubious refereeing decisions cost us a win.. As obvious offside and foul throw incidents weren't seen by the referee and we were really caught off guard. If not we'd have won 2-0. Damn. At least we were the first team to hold the team that is top of the league now with all wins I suppose, as when the other teams heard that we held them they were shocked. I wish they actually knew that we should have won. Oh well. That's football. It should be predictable but never is..
The opponents were strong.. They were NSmen and were fitter than us by a margin, and they have played together for 6-7 years. I guess we can hold our heads up high for this performance.. Thanks guys.

Thanks to my friend whom told me "anyhow" that Far East Plaza had the kinda bags I was looking for, I spend so much time walking around there for nothing. Should have rested my back which I think I injured during morning's soccer. Hurts now and I hope it doesn't affect my performance tomorrow.
Oh well.. Have to super-glue my torn bag now instead..

I felt I wasted a few days of my life fixing the spare computers that my dad brought back because I think the hardware failed and I couldn't do anything. Haha. Plus I was watching Naruto these past few days.. Watched finish 50 episodes. Just.. around 70 more to go? Haha. After that I'll probably download Bleach to watch.
Hopefully my right arm has recovered. I couldn't work out the past few days and it felt really shitty. I don't even know what happened to it but I'll bear with it. I need to exercise!!
This is how my life is. Pretty boring now.
I need to dream again..

I guess it's happy birthday to Singapore. Was out just now at night but didn't go to watch the fireworks. The damn army sealed the road and the cab was not allowed access. Anyways I think watching the fireworks will only make me more aware of my status as a single and make me feel more miserable. =(.
I'm actually so lonely.. I hope I will be watching fireworks with a special someone next year.. If I can find one. =(.
Ok, I don't want to sound desperate but times like this (festivities) make me feel lonely. Damn you couples on the streets! Argh!

Maybe confession ain't too good..A parish priest was being honored at a dinner on the twenty-fifth
anniversary of his arrival in that parish. A leading local
politician, who was a member of the congregation, was chosen to make
the presentation and give a little speech at the dinner, but he was
delayed in traffic, so the priest decided to say his own few words
while they waited.
"You will understand," he said, "the seal of the confessional, can
never be broken. However, I got my first impressions of the parish
from the first confession I heard here. I can only hint vaguely about
this, but when I came here twenty-five years ago I thought I had been
assigned to a terrible place. The very first chap who entered my
confessional told me how he had stolen a television set, and when
stopped by the police, had almost murdered the officer. Further, he
told me he had embezzled money from his place of business and had an
affair with his boss's wife. I was appalled. But as the days went on
I knew that my people were not all like that, and I had, indeed come
to, a fine parish full of understanding and loving people."
Just as the priest finished his talk, the politician arrived full of
apologies at being late. He immediately began to make the
presentation and give his talk.
"I'll never forget the first day our parish priest arrived in this
parish," said the politician. "In fact, I had the honor of being the
first one to go to him in confession."

I'm a philosophical man.A philosophy professor stood before his class and had some items in
front of him.
When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a large empty mayonnaise
jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks, rocks about 2" in diameter.
He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it
was. So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them
into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled
into the open areas between the rocks. He then asked the students
again if the jar was full.
They agreed it was. The students laughed. The professor picked up a
box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up
everything else.
"Now," said the professor, "I want you to recognize that this is your
life. The rocks are the important things - your family, your partner,
your health, your children - things that if everything else was lost
and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are
the other things that matter like your job, your house, your car. The
sand is everything else, the small stuff.
"If you put the sand into the jar first, there is no room for the
pebbles or the rocks. The same goes for your life. If you spend all
your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for
the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that
are critical to your happiness. Take care of the rocks first - the
things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just
sand."
But then a student then took the jar, which the other students and the
professor agreed was full, and proceeded to pour in a glass of beer.
Of course the beer filled the remaining spaces within the jar making
the jar truly full.
The moral of this tale is: no matter how full your life is, there is
always room for beer.

The second out of twelve terms in my Polytechnic life is about to start. I've learnt some things during my first term..
1. I have strong willpower.This friend of mine keeps asking me to try smoking. Haha. He asks stuff like "Why not smoke?" and once put a half-used cigarette in front of me asking me to try. I don't blame him or anything, he's still my dear friend, but yeah, he made me realise that I have pretty strong willpower. I don't think I'll ever smoke for the sake of my fitness.. It was extremely difficult to train up to this level which is already not excellent. But I think I'll get second-hand smoke, which is worse, and he did say the best way of not getting second-hand smoke was to smoke itself.. What bullshit.. Haha. But yeah, I did learn about some stuff on smoking. Don't worry guys.. I won't smoke.
2. I lost touch with my first love.Obviously my first love is football. I've realised that I've really lost touch in it.. Gone are the days I used to touch a football everyday and was really happy. I seldom play in the courts of SP now. I don't know, but I feel that the final step in going past people when I dribble is somehow missing.. Nowadays I try more to juggle past them which is obviously not very practical when I play for Salem Fire. Nevertheless I must try to regain that last touch. I really underperformed in last Friday's street soccer games.. I guess I can attribute it to my upset stomach and 2nd toenail dropping in 2 weeks.. But I don't want to. I want to tell myself that I sucked and I need to get back that touch. Sigh.
3. Plucking out that toenail was really gross. =\ Skip this if you want.Pretty much a follow-up to number 2, but yeah. One thing is that you should trust me that I've seen many, many gross stuff on the internet.. An example of which is er, one woman poking her eyeball and.. Well I won't go into details. But on clip I saw is a man plucking out his toenail with a pair of pliers. I found it really sick. However I did pretty much the same thing to myself. My toenail was coming off, with the middle portion of it severed. I really couldn't take the fucking irritant factor of it and proceded to take it out, ripping my toenail off the sides of my toe to which it was attached. Ouch.
4. Initial D anime is really nice!I've watched the first season of it and all I can say is that I'm downloading the second season right now. Even though the result was all pretty obvious, aka Takumi winning all the races, somehow it was addictive. I can say that I was addicted to Need For Speed Underground 2 too. Luckily I've completed the whole game, which is probably more than a hundred races, so I can say I've gotten bored of it.
5. I'm still such a fool.I still don't understand the concept of
once bitten, twice shy. I get fooled over and over again. I won't go into details, but yeah it sucks.
6. Nothing's happening much in my life.You can see from the lack of recent updates. Maybe I'm lazy but I can say that nothing much special is happening nowadays..
I guess that's all for now.. Tomorrow's the Principles of Electrical and Electronic Engineering exam but I can't say I'm confident. I just need to be alert and I guess I should do fine.. Hope I don't regret drinking the
e33 (Extra strong alcoholic cider) just now when I am currently ill.. Because usually alcohol makes my illness worse. Haha.
