Whenever I feel lost, I always like to return to my roots, to where I learnt my football. Of course, I learnt most of it in my alma mater, but it's not often I get to go back. Today's game at the CC was great. Those one-touch passes, dummies, backheels and flicks... Lovely!Too bad so little of us turn up nowadays, and opponents either have no balls or just aren't there.
But I guess today was worth it to skip training. Don't know if I'll get dropped from the first team but I guess they're pretty desperate for a naturally left-footed player. I don't really care though, I'm not enjoying my football as much there. ):
And yeah, Chelsea can go lick my balls. :P Manchester United for the win!
I still.. miss you.

What a classic match! Well worth the probably hour long walk there to watch it.Why do I feel so tired and listless on Wednesdays? I really need to use my off-days happier..

My laptop died on me. Sigh.Luckily I have most pictures saved in a backup, but some Italy pictures are gone. Damn it.
Guys should check this out (Probably girls too.): http://www.vasectomy-information.com/humor/manual.htm

Well, the first week of school just flew by like that. The time-table is looking awfully good, with lessons starting after noon on Mondays and Tuesdays, a day-off on Wednesdays. Thursdays suck because I'll have to wake up early to attend a module I don't really enjoy (those useless language modules should just go away). Even though Friday starts early too, the last lesson is pretty enjoyable. It is the only class so far in my whole polytechnic life that probably has more females than males, and those females look like females. The module is pretty interesting too, Mathematic Games & Puzzles.Off to a chalet later. Take care everyone, and those who have to, study hard!

First off, condolences to those affected by the VTech shootings. It's still a wonder to me how fudged up people can get.School's fine. Guess it'll be my whole polytechnic life without a hot chick in class! We came real close guys, that girl code-named "Cheryl" for some reason I don't know is probably just a class away. But in polytechnic terms, that is a really huge difference! Aww.
Been feeling really, really sluggish and tired recently. Too much sleep? =\
I think I'm falling sick..

School's starting tomorrow!It's the first time I am so damn happy about the term starting. Maybe it's because attachment ends. Maybe it's because the time-table is good, with Wednesdays off and tomorrow starting at noon. Maybe it's because of new year one girls!
It's probably just all of them. =P
Edit: I just saw Jacqueline's comments on this year's Miss Universe Singapore. I beg to differ! Just look at this blog post here: http://izreloaded.blogspot.com/2007/04/why-singapore-will-never-win-miss.html

Training was much better today. For the first time in weeks, the tightness in my calves did not occur. It could be that the new boots are much more comfortable, or maybe because I rested the whole week without jogging, and only doing the thousand skips a day for cardiovascular fitness.Those touches are coming back. I hope I will retain today's confidence at next week's match at Meridian JC.
I don't need to hope, I will have that confidence.
I hope I'll be happier. Happy boy equals to better football!
Oh yeah, I'm bored so I decided to change all the songs to duets.

Who are you? ): It's finally over. (: A really huge burden is off my chest.Anyway, many people know that I can't play and absolutely hate games like Bejeweled, chess, checkers or whatever games that need you to think more than one step, because I am dumb and lazy to think.
As addictive as cocaine.
This game called Puzzle Quest has a style akin to Bejeweled, yet I can't put the game down for some reason. It is good, and in America it's sold out at many game stores.
It's only available for the PSP and the Nintendo DS at the moment, but there's a PC demo available. I'm warning you that this game is very addictive and may ruin your social/sex life/productivity. Once people play the PC demo, they either complain about the lack of a full PC version, or they are very tempted to buy a Nintendo DS or PSP just to play that game. It is really that good.
The demo (just 34 megabytes) can be gotten here: http://www.gamedaily.com/canvases/gd/_a/download-puzzle-quest-demo/20070315101009990002
Have fun!

Haha! Go try this face transformer here: http://morph.cs.st-andrews.ac.uk//Transformer/Upload a picture of yours and then transform it into many things, such as below:
Transforming an old picture...
Into an African-American..
Then an Indian!
And no, I am not racist.

I'm still shocked over Manchester United's trashing of Roma.Oh well, I'll get over it eventually.
I watched Blood Diamond at work yesterday, and I think I have a good reason not to buy any diamond rings for any future prospects. :P Good movie.
Then again, I am easily melted. ):
These few days my things keep breaking down. My PSP's start key is somehow in a permanent state of being pressed, so I pretty much can't play anything on it. And my laptop, the display's fudged up totally. It's like the Matrix perpetually showing on my screen, but blue or red. Damn. Both of them have no more warranty so I basically have to fix it myself which I probably can't, so I guess I'm fudged. ):
Thankfully, the attachment ends in two more days. 18.5 more hours of sitting down there pretending to work and I'm free! Actually, I've done more than my share of work that's worth much more than the one thousand I'm getting for the two months, but whatever, life can be shit.
Edit: Fixed my PSP through some soldering and stripping of excess copper strips. It won't have the satisfying "click" sound when the "Start" key is pressed, but whatever, it works.
I think I give up on the laptop. I spent hours at work just trying to open this thing. Obviously they don't want us to.

I finally caved in and went to get a new pair of football boots. My previous boots were almost 3 years old, and after much deliberation, the tightness of the Mercurial Vapour could have been a factor in the unlikely tightness in my shins in the past few weeks of training and matches. Of course, that could be due to a lack of fitness, but it is unlikely since my cardiovascular condition is still good from what I see. But whatever, a thousand more repetitions of skipping everyday would probably do the trick if that was the case. Anyway, I won't recommend anyone getting a pair of Mercurial Vapour boots. Personally, I feel that too much is removed just to make the boots lighter.
My Tiempo Brasilerio! Hope it is the start of a fruitful journey together.
And four more days of work and it's all over!

Thursday and Friday's work was really great, in a sense that I watched a number of movies because I was alone at the company's second office. I watched Music & Lyrics, Snakes on the Plane, Scoop, Jackass 2 and The Departed. Snakes on the Plane was surprisingly not bad even though before I watched it the concept of the title made it look like a lame movie to me. The rest was okay, and Jackass 2 was just sick. Drinking horse semen? That really made me feel like vomiting.Sentosa yesterday was alright, too bad the weather made most of the girls disappear from the beach.
And I won't hold back anymore. I will fulfill my potential and even exceed it. The left flank will be my home.
Tuesday, April 03, 2007
Yay! I'll be going to the company's other office tomorrow alone! No one's there, so that probably means that I can slack there as much as I want, after finishing what's needed to be done, of course.Own time, own target and casual clothes finally! 7 more days of work and it's all over. (:
Anyway, the boss says he wants to pay me the full salary even though I took 7 days of leave from work. I feel so guilty. ): I guess he's really nice, or maybe he really wants me to work for him next time.
Every night, I die a little more inside.

Because I got bored at work as usual, I wrote an entry on my pet peeves.Some may seem weird, while some of them may be yours too!
1.) Being Disturbed While Concentrating
In the rare occurrence that I am concentrating on something, I really hate to be disturbed at all. Unfortunately, the other student on attachment at my current workplace loves to do that. I get absolutely murderous when this happens, and luckily for the offending people, I am a pacifist. By disturbing me and asking me redundant questions like “Are you programming?” (No, I am press random keys on the keyboard that somehow look like programming to you), you are greatly disturbing my thought process and I hate that!
2.) Being Woken From My Slumber
Because I am so bad at organising my time, I already don’t have enough sleep. It would be a big, big favour to me if I were to be allowed to sleep as much as I want if time allows. Unfortunately, my mother likes to come into the room when it’s afternoon, probably on purpose to disturb me and wake me up. ): And the irony is that most mornings I am already forced up by that damn alarm. I think I am developing a phobia for alarms. ): I could set my previous phone models to wake me up with a nice Canon in D, but now, this beautiful but functionless LG Chocolate wakes me up with some alarm music I dislike. I lack sleep like how Britney lacks sanity nowadays.
3.) Whatever
Don’t ask me why, but I’ve never liked the word “whatever”. It stems from long, long ago and I just find it so cold and impersonal. ): So please, please try not to use it on me.
4.) The Lack Of Replies
I’m guilty of this myself, but I really dislike it when people don’t reply my short messages! I probably don’t message you things like “Haha, I saw this blah & blah chick at blah & blah”, or other redundant and useless crap no one wants to know. Even if you’re not interested in replying, it would be courteous to at least give me one reply and tell me to screw off or something, which is the least I’d do before not replying. I don’t think I am not worth anyone’s five cents?
5.) The Weather
Sadly, this is not something I can control. Recently, the weather has been really fudged up in a sense that whenever I need it to be sunny, like to play football or to go out, it rains. And when I am at work and indoors, the weather is beautifully sunny. Well, I really hate the weather. ): Why can’t it just rain at night so I can sleep better without my air-conditioner which is spoilt. ): The one who controls the weather is a really funny person.

Guess not many people got tricked by the previous post. I think only a couple of blondes came to ask me about it. ): What... Loser can't get attached huh! ):Anyway, I also managed to successfully prank a few people, including my parents. Jacqueline's one was the most funny.. Heheh. Shall not go into it.
Yes, and the only one I failed tricking was not my failure, it's because you have too much faith in my character! Haha!
Anyway... It's been pretty depressing these couple weeks in term of my football. I realise I have absolutely zero confidence at doing anything now. Back then when I was happier, if anyone of you had ever played with me, you know I'd dare to do almost anything with the ball, be it to score or to humilate people. Yeah, I was in a world of my own, I had enough confidence to tell myself that I'm the best.
But now, I don't know what has overcome me. Every touch of the ball feels so uninspired, so awkward, so... distant. These legs of mine fail to respond to what I want them to do. It's not my fitness, I really, really push myself in terms of that. I train beforehand for my training sessions, no matter how tired I'm from work, effectively sticking to a schedule.
I really don't know. I just have no more confidence at doing anything with the ball. Anyone wonders why I keep shooting from a distant today? If I have an empty goal in front of me, the first thing I'd think of is that I'd miss. That's why I'd rather shoot from far and miss, instead of having an open goal and miss and be feeling even worse.
I know I still have it in me. There are flashes of brilliance, but that's not enough. I want my whole game above the potential I've ever reached. I want the arrogance I used to have.
But I need my happiness back to achieve that.
April's Fool!
I always thought I'd be loving you always, but I guess moved on. You will still retain that special place in my heart though. (:
April's Fool!
I guess it's true when they say that when the right one comes along, you just have to go with the flow and things will be fine. (:
April's Fool!
I love you I do, you know who you are. (:
April's Fool!
You gave me hope when I was at my lowest, and I thank you for that. (:
April's fool dumbasses!
