Dead

i m not sure whether i m gonna die soon. Haha 8 essays. Let s see how many days? 4? 2 a day can finish but just cant find the mood to do. Started on 2 but all intro only. I m gonna do a bit more later before sleeping. Ok, enuff of the sad news. Went to bugis today. Went to OG first coz sis's shoe spoil, so need to buy new one. Bought ald then went to bugis street. You know, the chaotic place... noisy, smokey, squeezy. Sell pirated cheap stuff. haha. not really all pirated la but just that most of the things you dun see outside and the brands are unheard of. some may not even have brands. Anyways, went there not for the brand. it s for design. wanted to get a bag, mostly for school. Aimed an adidas sling with some funny light blue colour flap but design was not bad. wanted to buy at $55 but parents say too small. ok lor then didnt buy. so in the end didnt buy anything from bugis street.

next went to marina square to have dinner. standard. last time, before they renovated, everytime go to the foodcourt eat the sphagetti plus egg on hotplate. it s nice. but then after renovation, the shop didnt exist. so end up eating the highly rated duck stall's food. many say the duck there is outstanding but i dun see much of a diff, maybe they add something extra like sauce or pepper but the rice or noodle also quite ordinary. anyways ate duck rice then went walking from shop to shop to find suitable bag. I planned to buy 3 things....

1. Sling bag that can use for both school and outing.
2. Shoes that can use for street soccer, badminton and outing.
3. Normal plain flip-flap black wallet. (sick of being the childish kid carrying Velcro OP or Billabong wallet)

So i just kept looking but parents said most no practical, too small etc. Then in the end went to wallet shop. Finally found one suitable one. It looks like Chien Ming's bag (may be the same one) but they have many bags of the same design and cutting but diff words on it. It just a black MYUK sling bag with a phrase i dun understand on the flap shaped like crumpler.

ok, happy happy buy that one $29, on discount. Wanted to buy wallet also but see the price can die. $33. Also MYUK, dunno what it stands for or what it means. (my UK? someone who knows plz tag) wallet more ex then bag. didnt think that it was suitable to buy that but then later father told me wallets were on 50% discount! So it s only about $16.50. Damn. nvm, see how next time can go look again. Anyway nearby got one pasar malam about to start. can buy some cheapo brandless wallet there.

Finally, about the shoes. My total 90 soles about to come off ald. The side wearing off due to ramming of ball. The colour changing from greyish white to black. (but not as bad as reuben's heehee). ok anyway wanted to buy wei ian and jethro's shoes not bad. ok gtg liao. bye

Match

yay! A victory finally. 5-2. And i scored, that s the icing to the cake. We played ok, not outstanding. Just blogged on team blog. Super long report. Dunno who will read. haha. ok nvm, talk about today. Went to school for the sec 1 registration, had to sell uniform. Spent about 7 hours taking uniform. Quite slack. but no pay, no CIP hours, no attendance might as well dun go. Nvm, anyway, met Shawn in school do chem hw. I left only mole questions actually can hand in lor, but didnt coz belmond and shawn didnt. Then went to tanglin cafe to eat lunch and slack with Shawn. Took car home. Father wanted to try out route for next year coz sis go sec school ald so need need to make transport plans. Went home sleep almost immediately. Damn Damn tired. Slept total of only 5 hours in 2 days. That is 5 hours out of 48 hours. Crazy rite. If you know me well, you will know i m crazy... haha

No time!!!

Ok hi, havent been blogging too often. Too busy either doing hw, go out, people using the com or playing fifa. Anyways, went to Courts and Ikea Tampines yesterday. Damn crowded. Just happen to go there coz no other place to go. Just realized recently that I m screwed. Got about 8 esssays to do, 1 more chem paper, maths independent learning and memorise some Chinese thing. Dead man. Only left about 1 week plus to finish up hw and play my fifa until season 15. Not gonna play that next year ald. Gotta mug until the end of Os. Father dun allow to play soccer anymore. Say end of 2006 have to hang up boots ald. Damn sad, so must play to my best this coming match or matches!

Short one

This will be a short one. Went to CCAB to play soccer and sort of train for the match. Intended to play on field but the cleaner who was cleaning the toilet didnt allow us to carry the posts on the field. Dun even know why on earth is he in charge. Anyway went to basketball court to play instead as both netball courts are taken. Then the security guard this time, together with another cleaner, didnt allow us to play there. I was getting pissed. Kena chased here and there and didnt get to play. I also felt bad as i was the one who initially suggested field and caused reuben to only bring studded boots, cant play street. Anyway, we managed to play street with the ACS barker and some others. Kicked around on field then went to Lot 1 for lunch then to Shawn's house. Watched TV, and then DeathNote then went home. Took LRT to CCK. Suppose to meet father at Bukit Panjang but went to take MRT. hahaha. Forgot there s no such thing as BP MRT station. Too bad lor. Went to Bukit Gombak instead then met father. Finally went home.

Boring

Yesterday i had a shock call. Yea a phone call. Unexpected caller. Actually to be honest not unexpected. The day before, i was lying in bed thinking whether this fellow will call me. Yep, i got it right. He called. Who is it? Who else... Chem teacher lor. Didnt hand up hw by 30th Nov. Sort of expected him to chase. Anyways, i told him i will hand up today and i did. At around 4 plus. Then went out to Orchard went family.

Thinking about calls. I got this phobia. About unexpected phone calls. i think its spooky. I remembered sometime in Febuary this year, around 5am, there was this call. my mother answered it and started crying. you never know what's going on outside if you are looking at only the receiver's expression. it can be something you never even thought about it before. The call that morning was from my aunt who told my mother that her father my grandfather is going to pass away, holding on for the last few minutes. My mother then rushed to the hospital. Hiya, today i had a taste of that feeling again. Not that something bad happened, just that an unexpected call out of the blue start ringing will always make me try to anticipate and get ready for the worst. I have many ageing relatives. My grandmother is 90 + years old, even i cant remember the exact age. It s scary dun you think? Anything can happen, anywhere, anytime. My eldest aunt reaching 70 seems weak and sick. Everytime my mother answer a call and keep silent for a while, remind me of the Febuary morning. I only feel relieve after she start to talk about some other topic.

Ok back today. Went to Orchard walk here and there waste time, exercise legs thats about it. There s little you can do in Orchard other than walk and waste time, at least that s my opinion...

Summary

Ok, it s time for a summary for the entire week. it has been a busy week really.

Monday- went to play soccer at CCAB in the morning. I felt my touch is back. I really had the feel of the ball and suddenly had the ability to dribble and evade challenges. I always knew my weakness is my dribbling and ball control. The other attributes for soccer is fairly good. Eg. shooting, crossing, passing etc. Now i can cross the ball without ramming at the person's head. My shooting had been improving lately, power and accuracy all returning. I need to work on my heading and dribbling, otherwise, i think i shld be fine.

Went home, accompanied grandmother the whole day then went home sleep.

Tuesday- Went out with cousin together with family. Went to eat Botak Jones at Clementi. It was good for me (not for jer). i thought it was cheap and good. Value for money. It s western and was started by a botak american. He has other branches at tuas and amk. I ate rib eye steak which was unique, not the kind you can find anywhere. So, i recommend you to go try. The portion is quite a lot and worth it esp at this price. Can go search Botak Jones to find their website to find out more about them.

After lunch, went to taka to return library book. then went to take the DHL balloon near Bugis. Cousin had this card which have 50% off for 3 people so ok lor quite cheap. Went up to see the evening view of singapore. quite nice actually but not impressive. got bored after a while.

Yea just see the pics. got more but too lazy to upload. :P

Then walked all the way to esplanadem just to sit the boat. The wooden boat for tourists to sit then go clarke quay etc. Half price also so just sit lor. It was beautiful actually, the scene, the feel, the lights and the breeze.

The photo may suck because not i take one. I was using my phone which has so much more artistic views of the city but again, too lazy to upload.

Later just went for dinner at marina square then went home to sleep. yea end of tue.

Wednesday- Another day out as a tourist. This time to sentosa. ya the So Expensive, Nothing TO See Actually SENTOSA. Went there see see look look. Waste time. Started with going to harbourfront to eat lunch then took cable car to the island.

The first thing significant at sentosa is the bloody gift shop. Purposely put some souvenior shop there and must walk through somemore, damn money face and despo leh. If people wanna buy will auto go there one what, why must put it in such a way that everyone must see the souvenior? Pathetic. Anyway, straight away saw the carlsberg tower. yea, took it and this is what i saw.

Nothing much la. just waste time up there. serve as an experience only. you see mostly greenery and roof of buildings. And if you are a first timer there, you realise Merlion is balding! Jk la. Some people like hair lice on its head walking up and down on the flat patch on the creature's head.

yea, then went to the Luge. I think this is the only fun thing in sentosa. Haha but too lousy ald. I was at full speed from start to end. Oh wait, havent explain what is it first. It is just some 'go kart' then sit on it down the slope and slide down like racing lor. Quite chicken la. but fun enuff to get the thrill. The downslope was quite fast esp as i let the thing move at full speed. Of course at the turns need to slow down a bit la, unless do a 'drift' as jeremy suggested. Ok, then took the skyride back. it s just some levitating bench floating in mid air up and down the slope. Took that thing back up the slope.

Next went to underwater world. Sian, no need to describe la, always the same, never change.

Ok then went to cinemania. Not bad la. But to be honest, australia is way better. Just some 'cinema' where you have to sit in some 'roller coaster' then it will start moving up down left right. A simulator la. So you watch a 'movie' and the simulator moves to make the movie realistic. Two movies is about roller coaster ride, one about dinosaurs. I still prefer real rides. the thrill cannot be substituted.

i think that s about it at sentosa. So went to Vivo city. Nearby ma. Then just walk up and down see see look look. Got some barca store there in the spainish corner.

Mother took this 'artistic pic'. Guess what s special about it.

Ate dinner ate sakae sushi. Then went home. Sleep. Again.

Thursday- Woke up early hoping to complete all the chem hw but cant la. Got chalet in afternoon. Yl suddenly called me to say he is at tampines mall and need to put the frozen food in a fridge coz the chalet cannot check in yet. So he decided to come to my house as temporary shelter. Wasted about 2 hours playing 07, esp with team slayers against some noob league 2 team. Thaddeus, JJ was also with yl. In the end they took wrong bus and ended up taking taxi which i had to sponsor. Play Play play then go chalet, again in a taxi.

Went chalet, wasnt impressed. Expected it to be quite a boring one coz so few people (abt 20) nothing to do some more. Played soccer at pasir ris town park. At least long passing improved. Blah blah, went back bbqed, eat, people play with fire, esp with deo and fire, newspaper whatever they can find to play with the orange flame. Waste time watching mr. bean then chi drama. Actually wanted to go Tampines Mall watch movie but too late all closed so some people like shawn and yl and cm went to cine to watch. Crazy. of course they didnt sleep la. show at 11.30pm. i watched and played 06 then went home sleep. Again.

Friday- That s today! Ok whatever. Was woken up by a call from shawn. Wanted to do chem hw. Suppose to meet some where to do. Suggested library but he dont want, and wanted to come my house so ok lor anything. Then he brought along a gang that consist of chien ming, ting soon and wei jin. Maplers la. Ting soon not really. So they came and kope my com and played maple. Wei Jin's laptop was for 06. I did as much chem as possible and managed to finsh section A. then all wanted to go home, cm go for drums. So they go downstairs, cm and ts go bus stop to wait for a bus that took forever to come while shawn and wei jin kicked bola at void deck. Taxi came and all went. Left me alone to train on my skills. Did some weaker foot training. Like left foot clearance, left foot ram. Of course did some free kick training. This time right foot. Yea, stand at playground there and practised kicking into the hole. not bad la, got once it went in curling with power. that was the best i did.

After that, went back did some exercise then went for a run. Speed training. Didnt run far but fast. I m really trying to gear up for the match to have the best result so far.
