in memory of chris benoit ; Wednesday, June 27, 2007 17:54
before a wrestling show starts on any channel, they'll remind their audience
never to try the moves at home. why? because of the dangers and the live
hazards the show has. http://wwe.com also teaches their readers that what's
posted will follow a storyline. so when vince mcmahon's limo exploded after
appreciation night and he was presumed dead, it SHOULD be fake. news would
only be considered real if the appears in your next day's papers.
eddie guerrero's demise proved real. following chris benoit's suspected murder-
suicide yesterday. fbi suspects he killed his wife and son, before turning on
himself. no reason stating why though.
will always remember his sharpshooter and cripple crossface.
bleahh. what a way to start my post. 3rd day of school since the second term
started. realised that i've a lot of undone holiday homework. mass last minute
work before the next day - the submission date. barely survived webapp today,
only to learn that there's wrtoral homework which has to be printed.
term test results are as follows:
engmath - 58% - d+
engfund - 85% - a
still managable. everyone's talking about the semestral exams end august. hey.
why not we look forward to the holidays. isn't that more optimistic? (:

hols end today ; Sunday, June 24, 2007 22:21
school's starting tomorrow. im still in holiday mood. made fruitless attempts
to revert myself back. it's just so hopeless. they should extend 2 week holidays.
it's so redundant.
i miss my soccer. i DONT miss my lan. it's so dumb.
watching initial d now for the many countless time. ending in 30 mins. then have
to sleep and dream of school. no webapp class tmr, meaning lessons start at 11.
thought of not going lectures, so i'd report after lunch break at 2. 3 hours of
lessons and it ends at 5. it's not a tuesday when it's in the morning.
afternoon hours are meant for sleeping. sighh.
i only want to be your friend

i was at this dance function organised by city harvest church at the riverwalk
hours ago. went there on invitation by qiming with gerald and shiyuan. no
intention here, but the way they use to convey their messages seems like a
little like mlm to me. but anyway, we stayed till 10. we were late, thanks to
me and sy. pool rocks. (:
walked to cityhall after that coz i was lazy to change trains at clarke quay.
nightlife on a friday seems much quieter than expected. met meiting, june and
jiaping at amk mrt. heard from june that ngeeann started school already! i
thought it was same as me, next week. so gerald left. the remaining 3 of us
headed for our favourite hangout - kpool. well, it isn't really a favourite.
it's just that when the holidays come, that is apparently the place we
frequent the most.
we had to queue. met lotsa 5a06 people there. they were occupying as many tables. i think they like that place too!
i finally cut my hair. and it looks so freaking short. omgf.
it seems to wrong
so hard
but im still trying..
to be your friend

soccer..rocks! ; Wednesday, June 20, 2007 00:56
my bones are breaking, my legs are weak, my body is dying. you should never
attempt to play 2 consecutive days of soccer. yesterday was fun!(:, though
it's highly unlikely i'll get to play with the same people again. today was
the real action. no more slack play of the yesterday.
we had fewer manpower, and played the same oponents as last thursday. heard
that sy and sz played in the afternoon and their handphones got stolen. dogs
will forever be dogs. thats why we hate them. no matter how hard they try,
they'll never be nice. well, there are those who are different. but then,
most are just fuckers. who would disagree?
thats why when playing with them, we either whack them hard, or send your
strongest troops. never let your eyes off your belongings. they have to
resort to stealing, coz if they were to work, no one would be able to see
them. it's not racist here, so they've to prove me wrong.
1810-2155. more than 3 hours of soccer. it's a physical breakdown. then again,
i wouldnt mind if anyone invites me for soccer tomorrow. (:
was web hopping and browsed through some youtube videos. went to check out
ayton's foc videos. the mass gls cheer. the foc days. im simply missing them.
:'(

webapp....sucks ; Monday, June 18, 2007 22:18
real madrid won the spanish league title this morning. they finished level
on points with rivals barcelona, with both teams at 76 points. however, they
won on head-to-head encounters, with realm winning 1 and drawing the other.
SIGHH.
for a moment, i thought my school holidays were shortened to 1 week. reached
tp at the same 0800 hours, carried a bag and was in my proper shoe attire.
the school was not as chaotic as it usually is. the hallway of the engine
block was almost deserted, only oweing to the bie campers.
we were to meet at 0830. if it was not for the time, i couldnt bother myself
to be punctual, coz no one really comes early. adding to it, we wanted to
use the free access lab but neither brought a timetable. ended up walking in
circles. rushed a little, finished early at 1225, and left. they went to eat,
i headed home.
took a train back. was bored by the bus journey. walked to amkhub where i had
subway. shiyuan came by. passed the ball at dolphin. ended up walking back to
the court. coz i was around. soccer fanatic. 5 people there. his brother,
another guy from band, and 3 girls ALSO from band. for a moment, i thought it
was a band soccer camp. it was scheduled to have more people, but many couldnt make it at world's end.
this 2 other guys joined us from the bench. engaged ourselves in a 4on5 match.
the 4 consisted of me, shiyuan's brother shizhen, a female band-er and a
young malay chap. the 5 got shiyuan, ruishan, xueqi and another young malay
chap.
for the match, it was like that. i spent a hard time getting pass as many
people, and i'll lose the ball at the last point ALWAYS to xq. dont ask me why.
i've nothing to do with it. i think rs scored the most goals. i netted none.
rained and stopped. contemplated continuing playing, but it was too slippery.
the rain didnt totally stop also, and even became bigger. some guy came along,
talked warcraft, and left. took a bus with sy and sz to j8 for waffle. it was
meant to be nice, but considering i still had a 6-inch subway melt and 2
cookies in my bag, i settled for a honeydew ice with more pearls. the girls
left us at the bus stop footsteps away from my lobby.
walked rounds in j8, including the new arcade. finally left after 7. late and
tired. for the whole bus journey back, i was being shot. so i shall repeat.
i've nothing to do with the marking in the street soccer court today. (:

chin hwee's phillips avenue farewell party ; Sunday, June 17, 2007 01:03
not many people would like the feeling of moving house, whatever the
reason.
chin hwee had to. in fact, he shifted days ago, and he's handling the keys
over next tues or wed. though the last time i went there was 2-3 years
during the chinese new year, there's still some feelings for it.
as in the invitation, it was to start at 2. met qiming and gerald at the
bus stop outside his place. it rained and i didnt carry an umbrella. was
drenched. secondary school has taught me that punctuality is something no
one really bothers about. the 3 of us reached 1410? and we were the first.
ch and june were out buying stuff. idled in his room until they came back.
fifa07-ed and ordered kfc whilst waiting. and we came to know that the
actual programme only starts after 7. i think eric came around 3. melvin
and cheryl came later. and that was the end of the secondary school friends.
ps2-ed and card-ed till evening. think it was 8. a lot to catch up also. the
last time i saw ch was before we took our olevel results more than 2 years
ago. he became slimmer! and fms is fun. can tell he enjoys his course a lot.
interest!
then his poly friends came. the 4 or 5 of them sat in the other corner of his
room. took over the ps and played winning 11. and it was dinner time. the
"potluck" became buffet. dont ask me why. it's the organiser. mingled around in
the hall area. found out there were many other people present, only that we
spent half our time in the room. ate a little, coz we weren't too hungry after
eating kfc. about 9. there was this farewell programme conducted by his second
brother. had singing by planned volunteers. photo taking in different groups
after that.
2215. the hall was to be cleared for 6 mahjong tables. we back upstairs to his
room. qiming and gerald played smackdown. eric came up awhile before going back
down. i was bored. ventured out of the room and found his dog there. forgot his
name. it's either max or sam. and it's cute. (:

gerald is always the spoiler. he had to leave early. partially me also, coz i
forgot to bring my house keys out. meaning i had to get home before everyone
sleeps. the 3 of us bid farewell and left at 2315. gerald took 156 home first.
qm accompanied me to the prata house just beside for supper. chocolate and
mixed fruit. plus my tea and his 2 plain. 6$.
and so as i wanted so much to walk home and enjoy the cold breeze, it had to
rain. cab-ed home. 6.9$. reached home 0010. so early! i had intended to stay
there till 1.
anyway, chin hwee's phillips avenue house did leave a lot of happy memories
with us. perhaps one day we would go back and look at the place. hope he can
adapt well to his new hougang avenue 8 flat. all the best! (:

i've never spent 2 and a half hours walking all over orchard looking for
something for myself. even for you a couple of years ago, i didnt walk
so much until my legs ached.
i was on a mass rsh hunt for this reebok shorts. mainly because singapore
only has 1 reebok outlet at centrepoint and the rest comes from 25 rsh
outlets, as posted on their website. went to 6 places in 150 mins, only
to find that 2 are no longer there.
1. lucky plaza (no size)
2. shaw centre (no stock)
3. funan digitalife mall (non-existant)
4. raffles city (extinct)
5. marina square (no size)
6. suntec city (clearance sale)
walked around orchard, then to city hall. looks like amazing race for the
reebok shorts. okayy thats lame. and im so tired.
to say the least, 6 of my 14-day holiday have passed, only for me to have
done nothing useful. i practically wasted it. wanted to work but aborted it.
supposed to go out but didnt. webapp project draft due on the first week of
the second term and my group just, refuses to do anything. it's the same in
my secondary school. what can i say?

; Tuesday, June 12, 2007 23:25
it was supposed to be a long day.
went to taka with qiming in the afternoon to shop for clothes. found what
i wanted, but the size didnt like me. stadium didnt even have it. then saw
this girl working in wh; the shop beside stadium. i think she looked quite
nice. (:
followed him to sp after that coz he needed to do video editing. there is
this place in the school of business that is only accessible to dmc (diploma
in media and communications) students. and it was so dumb. because it was
a school holiday, and he wanted me to go in with him rather than rot for
an hour. so i went in, and the caretaker was like, "hey, who's your friend?"
somehow, i tried to fake my way in, claiming i was a year 1 dmc student. but
the fucker wouldnt listen to me. i was damn pissed. wanted to whack the
blardy old man. so, i ended up rotting till 5.
our journey was, east to west. from dover in sp, the two of us then took a
train down to pasar ris. i intended to attend the ayton chalet at costa
sands. walked all the way in, stood right at the door, and i decided against
going in. dont ask me why. anyway at that time, there were only 4 people
visible playing mahjong at the front door. and it didnt look like they were
in my group. so i left. it was a bit dumb. qiming was like, "hey. you went
all the way there only to walk past?"
cm asked me to play soccer anyway. it was 1840. and i would never turn down
a soccer offer. i got ps-ed coz he was meeting his friend to celebrate
someone's birthday in pastamania at somerset. reached dolphin, 2040. 1 hour
15 mins to play before lights off. and i was heavily improperly attired. had
no intention to play soccer today. but it was fun.
clean sheet-ed the first against our almost all-star team. made lots of
instinctive saves. had better oponents today from the likes of yjc and nyjc.
to say the least, they were chinese. yeah, im not racist.
i contemplated taking a cab back to the chalet at 2205, but was told that
dinner was over and they were video-ing. oh wells. at least, i went. (:

smu! ; Sunday, June 10, 2007 01:09
i went to smu this morning. was providing moral support for my mother, who
was participating in the brands soduku semi-final challenge. some 900 people
were split into 3 timings, 100 each. ours was at 10, meaning we had to reach
by 0915. took 851 there. no jam. reached early, collected the door gift, and
my mother proceeded into the conference hall. 0935. if she takes 30 mins, i've
55 mins to slack.
really tempted to take a walk along clarke quay, walk to the ferris wheel to
grab some photos. ended up sitting in a corner of the level 5 walkway reading
4 chapters of neil humphrey's final notes from the great island. strolled
back to the exits and waited. you wont be surprised to see contestants of
all ages, but you'll be when you see how young they can be. for example, i
saw a small boy which i thought could not be older than primary 6. and he
finished in 25 mins while my mother took 70. wtf.
for the first time, my mother said it was difficult. a 9x9 puzzle with the
middle cube completely blank. if that was me, i would have gave up. anyway,
it was a good try. at least you'll know the standard of the people around
you. i was to be treated delifrance at raffles city, but the shop wasnt there
anymore. well, you cant blame me. i havent been there after 22dec06. and i
didnt have a reason to.
the channel 55 korean drama smile again "zai ci wei xiao" ended today. 20
episodes shown over 10 weeks. and it was my first korean show which i started
to watch before my parents or sister did. hezhen ended up with danxi, like
they started with in the first episode. then again, it's a drama. it'll be
perfect if it could happen to me in reality. anyway, it was nice! gonna buy
dvd. (:

pirates!; at world's end ; Monday, June 04, 2007 23:41
i sat for my first ever term test paper in tp. arrangement was almost the same as olevels. venue was a 3-classroom joined tutorial room, sitting 76 candidates. i was number 69. pencil cases had to be transparent, calculator covers placed on the floor, handphones off-ed and kept in our bags, and our matric card on the top corner of the table.
slowly awaiting the commencement of the emaths1 paper. 8 compulsory questions from sections ab totalling 100 marks. the way they allocate the marks to the questions make you think many times before confirming your answer.
it was bad. didnt go as i wanted. through my 4-time revisions, the questions were simple, only to be tricky based. sad to say, i think i can only obtain a maximum of 40 marks. would be glad if i passed. if i say i was too nervous, i'd giving an excuse. :(
the 1 hour paper lasted from 1530-1630. bus stop was more packed than usual, because everyone appeared to end their papers at the same time. took the third 15 to pasar ris interchange, and took a train to dhoby ghaut. was meeting shiyuan at the cathay to watch the third instalment; pirates of the carribean: at world's end. by the time we reached and bought the tickets, it was six.
one think i noticed about cathay. their shows start quite punctually, unlike other places. maybe about 5-10 minutes late only. truly a 3 hour movie. well, almost. 1805-2050. for those who are planning to watch the show, you're advised to stop reading from here coz im going to spoil it.
cant remember how jack sparrow died in part 2. chow yun fatt's role in his line, "welcome to singapore" only lasted 30mins. he died.
tia dalma revived captain barbossa and the black pearl crew went to seach in the land of the dead for jack at worlds end. this was vertical waterfall which went down.. lord cutler beckett on the other hand, took control of the flying dutchman and davy jones' crew. elizabeth became the last pirate lord after "chow yun fatt assigned her before he died" and was voted as king of pirates.
the ending saw will turner killed by davy jones, jack sparrow stabbing the heart, and orlando bloom becoming the captain of the flying dutchman. as the saying goes, 10 years at sea, 1 day on shore.
after the credits, elizabeth was on shore with her son singing the pirates song 10 years later. turner came back with the ship for a day, before disappearing as the sun set down the horizon with a magnificant green light.
it wasn't as funny as i expected, but i'll give an overall 3.5 stars rating. (:
