Skies and Clouds…
Living Each Day Quietly…Coming!
It’s almost here! Christmas and of course the New Year! Though I’m not a christian but still festive moods are great! Combining with Chinese New Year, these triple attack never fails to overwhelm my spirits…
Its been 2 weeks since I’ve last updated… got my life back on track after afew issues which bombard me at the same time… they always come together dont they… So xmas shopping was good… somehow I feel that SG has increased twice in population as I find it hard to move around as compared to last year… oh and I saw SJ awhile back… met up with her over coffee and surprised to find that she toughen up alot since the last time I saw her… but her same old vulnerability to certain things are still there… ha… gave me afew tips to buying xmas gifts too… her quote of the day “when you see your ex on the streets with another girl/guy and you dont feel anything, means you have already moved on”… well I hope she will reach that stage soon…
After afew sick guys came back to work… I got the virus straight away… finally crumbled on saturday night… and recovered abit on sunday… but still need to do some xmas shopping since Im gona missed soccer anyway… list almost complete… still need afew touch ups and Im done!
Today went to celebrate Pah’s bdae by eating at Carls and L4D2… finally completed my lists of gifts and now all thats left is to wrap them up! So exciting to execute one of my master plan after so long… hahaha… must thanks to yh for the trip today… kk turning in soon after I finish the writings…

Affected…
Sunday’s game was one of my off days as I cant get something off my mind temporarily… even though I got a couple of assits but I feel that I could contribute more to the game… oh well… and thats that…
Friday was good as I went to check out the Xmas lightings in town… and of course catch new moon… not too bad… maybe I should read the book too… ok… got to turn in… going to see blasts tomorrow… ha…

Decision
Went to Travellor world to get my winter wears yesterday as it was the last day of sales… the sales person was very patient… good service… think that way time will pass faster for him…
Went home to have late dinner before meeting the guys… shocking news… Long’s going to be a father soon… and he’s graduating in june… so we laid out all the options (actually theres only 2 la) and the consequences, reactions of each… oh well… it could have come at a worse time… will see how the parents react before taking the next step… I guess the exposure he got at US influence his thinking alot… I can see my 1st wedding from friends coming right up… ok time to nap for awhile before soccer…

Exams Over!
After a month of isolation from here… Im finally back! Man I sure miss writing… not essays… haha… lets recap…
My exams started on the 9th, so after relaxing for afew days after I handed in my last assignment… I switched into study modo… though pace was slow… somehow I will absorb alot more on the day before my actual date… talk about short term memory… means I have to read up on the topics I did not pick for exams when Im free… I’m good at spotting questions… maybe it luck… but nonetheless I should do ok for this exam… as my goal was to increase my knowledge and not to just get a cert for a better paying job… thus Im mostly different from my other uni mates due to their result oriented attitude…
Ok enough about exams… the few days at home was good as I get to see the society in the afternoon instead of the after work crowds… afew changes here and there… still alot of brats running around… oh and I tasted the spirit of Xmas in starbucks toffee nut latte… Im so geared up for it… maybe because Im going to UK and visit the guys a week after that… hahaha… cant wait!
After my last paper… I went to eat ban mian at ps food court… Im not a fan of it… but that is the best one I have had eaten so far in my life… maybe its cos of the lousy one I had in tpy that I had phobia of it haha… anyway… caught xmas carol too… and quite diappointing i must say… not as heartwarming as I thought…
Fri was early rest day as I was still suffering from the effects of the many 24hrs barrier I broke… Sat went to Hello Kitty’s 35th anniversary… CW was involved in the event and he didnt tell me… lol… after that went to food fair, john little fair and mph fair since Im already there… then to tampines one to try their jap gourmet food… as Im too lazy to upload pics now I will do so this wkend if im free… lol…
Sunday was my return to soccer after 2 wks of absence… I even pass on the match at St Wilfred ok… delicious field… damn… after not touching the ball for 14days Im glad to say my touches and runs are still there… abit blunt on my shooting and lacking match fitness… still got the few assits I set for myself… haha… should perform better this week…
And L4D 2 has arrived! One more thing to do after work… new maps… new weapons… new zombies… too bad I wasnt able to join the guys today… oh well… long weekend ahead… but need to go back work for awhile… but after that its Raya soccer!
K time to rest… been having too many late nights… oh ya… happy belated bdae to Rick… I’ll see you in a month’s time man…

L4D
Finally had a game with the lads last week after I submitted my last assignment… decided to give myself a break after chionging through the assignments… then went to watch the hurtlocker… very good movie… never fails to increase my heartbeat everytime they defuse the bombs… showing wat the US troops do @ Afghanistan… real eye opener…
Yesterday went to night safari’s halloween… the queue was madness… should have gone there when it just opened… soba @ paragon was superb…
Im trying to not let my game affected by the things on my mind… so thats how a footballer feels when he got personal issues and still have a match to play… the once a month thing is coming… I can feel it…
Don’t turn away, dry your eyes…
Don’t be afraid, keep it all inside…
When you fall apart, don’t give up…
Life is always hard, just hold on…
It’s going to be alright…

500 days
This movie was very good… how the lead goes back and forth through the 500 days to find out whats wrong is very balanced, so you wont get confused at any point of time…
Although the dialouges were so eerily familiar that it sounded funny… I had to say I actually did some of the things… haha… moral of the story is very important… if you never get it… then watch it again…
We will never recover from the wounds if we have not forgive
Though it does not change the past
It opens the ways to the future

Mental
Blocked… still only one paragraph… ha… anyway saw the UK pics of the guys… super fun… cant wait to join them… now they can finally experience how is studying like in Uni… lol… Joe told me the clothes there are at least 20% cheaper… well looks like my end of year and new year spendings will be from there… I hope there’s time to fulfill my dream of going to Anfield and also visit the legendary stonehedges…
J
Thigh…
My left thigh is still in 90% condition but I just went for the game… aggrevate it… but had a good game so quite worth it… finding the right way to struck the ball finally with this new shoe…
So weekends the usual… with saturday class again… looking at how pool played yesterday immediately eliminates all hope of getting the title… unless aquilani do some magic once he came into the team… oh well… been slacking too much lately… time to up the gear again…
