Skies and Clouds…
Living Each Day Quietly…Gist
Fri- Dinner was out as my parents went to ktv… so I took up the offer of eating @ chinatwn with Akatsukis and tried out some new place which aaron found which is just normal… maybe we should have ordered the frog leg’s porridge which alot of people is eating there… after that we took a cab down to selegie to play l4d… took quite a while as the road to stamford rd is closed due to the night festival… and the taxi driver keep repeating it with aaron replying with the same answer ‘I know’… anyway the game was quite fun with the usual stunts and after that we went to wait for the bus… amazingly there’s alot of ppl @ the bustop and we remembered there’s road closure and we went to check the board… true enough it lasts till midnight… so thats an info for $3 bucks for aaron and irv cos only their buses are affected…
Saturday was pri sch gathering day… after a quick nap I woke up more tired… but still more ppl are later than me,yh and long… I cannot believe there’s 20 of us taking the bus… feels like excursion… so we went to hooked at upper thomson and saw wee hian working there… its only his 2nd day… what a coincidence… the food was normal as expected cos I tried their branch @ the rail mall already… saw Wong pipi outside @ the massage place beside… he didnt come cos of his ict… saw alot of faces which brings back some nostalgic feel… the one who changed the most is Louis cos he was botak back then… haha… after that we went to some jap restaurant at esplanade and continue our session… finally the last part of the trilogy was at some places along the CQ river to wrap up our chat… by then I was running on 10% energy as my eyes are closing… this is the 1st time in so many mths I haven been slping for 24 hrs…
well I talked to most of them… the ones I really connected to was WJ and MX… WJ came from a broken family… poor… and he’s taking 10 tution a month just to pay his household expenses… with a bro who is rebelling… maybe cos of the situation… he didnt have many friend in his sec or jc and uni days as he was busy working and studying… well he’s doing well now with a gf and 1st class honours coming… he’s already apply for hdb flat… with a plan of his future already mapped out… I didnt think anyone plan further than I did… I hope everything turns out well for him after he got his job aft grad…
MX was studying occupational therapy in aussie… dealing with ppl with intellectual disability… something which I was considering too before I took up psyc… well alot of experiences for her from a choice of interests vs money job to issues with family and friends… being the only asian working at her place over in aussie is no easy feat… what she said about guys in her field make sense to me… guess no matter how this society evolves… the basic foundation of mankind wouldnt change… only more difficult… I must say its nice to talk to ppl with the same passion for something… I guess the next time we can chat would be the end of the year…
Sunday woke up at 1 due to me slping at around 5 plus… had a quick brunch before going for my match… thrash the opponets 8-2 as their defence was just lousy… haha… though I didnt do much aside from sending a through ball, closing down the players most of the time, being a menace on the left by cutting in and assisted the last goal… took a nap when I reach home… finally im a bit tired now… time to hit the bed… sch re-opens on the 20th… one more picnic to go!

Plans
Going to meet Long after he came back from US… and HY too this thurs… going to Cafe Iguana… Saturday will be another pri school gathering… this time it consists more of those who didnt make it the last time… then sunday will be the long awaited match… hoping to get my favourite left midfield role again… but our top scorer, Collin, and playmaker Joe is overseas so I hope they dont make too many changes…
I was waiting for the bus back home today and this auntie ghost in from my blind spot and cut me to going up the bus… since I’m not in a mischievous mood so I did not go into agressive mode… then on the bus an auntie cough like a frog croaking which sends fits of laughter to me and ah boon… then on the train when I was standing near the door which dont open till braddell… then this girl who board at city hall walked all the way infront of me and hold on to the metal bar just beside of the door… the train wasnt that packed… we were like inches away from each other and I jerked my head back abit and gave her the what-are-you-trying-to-do look… shes quite pretty I must say… some time people just do things that simply amuses you… anyway time to hit the sack… eyes half opened already…

Relaxed Weekend…
So friday I went to see some perfumes to ask Joe get for me since he’s gona wait for Fate to knock off… Had a lousy wanton mee @ far east basement, its the same one as the sunshine plaza’s but lousier quality due to demand. Crap… Waited almost half an hour for our order to come, and the cashier still cough infront of us… Pretty face doesn’t mean immunity from H1N1…
Joe said something about the age group being stagnant at that area while we kept growing… for awhile I thought it was something nostalgic but logically of course we will age leh… looking at the teens showing their creativity in their dress sense reminds me of the good old days… Afew things I observe while waiting for the food… the guys always like to act cool or just wait for their female friends to find seats for them… like its embarrassing to do all that… Anyway I went home and caught up with the animes I’ve missed… pretty busy week for me yea…
Saturday was rest day as I caught the top 20 music videos in the morning… then nap after lunch… watch some shows and went to check out the I-Shop sales @ Cine with Ron and Jon, which I didnt get any earphones but they got alot of eye candy… and fail to get my mouse as the computer shop at Heeren was closed down ages ago… After that we went for some we11 to round up the night…
Sun morning went for my ‘training’ @ bishan park… felt better than last week maybe due to enough sleep… scored a goal when no one close me down and I saw a hole at the goal… then went to amk hub to get my mouse which Collin said I thought u wanted a pet mouse… zzz… drag myself home on my injured feet and knees… its like when the game is over then the nerves reconnect and you feel the pain… good for me I guess lol… took a knock on my left knee and right foot… was limping abit… looking @ the dark clouds which cast sleeping spell on me I was about to take nap… but time doesnt allow and I had to decide whether to go for my 2nd session… so I decided to go and have a slow jog along the usual path to test out my leg… shutting out the pain after it surfaced is no easy feat… reached and everyone is waiting for me as we again have the minimum turnout… played barely 10 minutes before it rained… went home and concussed str away till the guys came over… wrap it up with psml supper and thats it for the week… some pics below from my mobile which I’ve been too lazy to upload…
I saw this when I open my eyes as I was asleep in the bus… my heart stopped for 1 sec
Pork Chop
Lemon Chicken
Mei Chai with Luncheon meat
Spinach with scallops… all the food above are vegetarian… taste like the real thing!
I found this place while driving to check out selator resovoir… good place for a picnic!
Took this while stuck in the rain at a HDB…
Definition of a bad hair day
This sign amuse me… then dont park la so risky here…
Crispy thin pizza with a wooden smell from modesto… one of the best I’ve eaten
Mac madness… and no thats not the Mac lady…
A farm near my work place… fascinating…
I got a fright one late night as I went to the lift lobby… I thought it was some black aliean stuff which moves…
Ugly chicken puff… nuff said
TPY lor 8 lor mee… still lose to the bukit purmei’s one… but rumoured amoy street is even better… time to hunt again…

Transformers 2
Just caught the movie for the 2nd time on friday… before that went to the Zara sales but too many people and this time there’s nothing much to get… Fate got her dress and another killer heels… god… I felt so guilty for being partly responsible as she only bought the latter when we went back to the taka outlet… After that we went to waraku for dinner Rick and Cyn… we waited for Joe to join us after work… dicussed about the picnic stuffs and had a super long dinner due to the waiting time… short handed I must say…
Rick went home to get his car and off we go for ROTF! Still as funny and awesome… I managed to get more details of the fights and the combining of devastator… if only they combine more than once and transform individually into their robot forms… sideswipe is a good sub for jazz too… more screen time for him please! haah… lets pray there will be a combiner for the autobots… preferably the jet planes Superion cos they can combine in the air! And put predaking for the decepticons as they are made up of animals… fresh idea yea… lol… and of cos dinobots must be in the 3rd instalment! ok enough of it…
Saturday went to some warehouse sale at peninsula plaza and got a new cheap boots, predator pulse… new shorts, socks and a soccer ball too… always wanted to have one as I donate mine afew years back and got ran over by a car… so since I got time to burn after that, I tag along with Joe and Fate to find his bag at muji… but instead I got myself a bag from crumpler as my PS bag is almost dead… then I went to meet CnC 2 (Clare and Cand) @ novena to have ice cream… this time I finally tried udders after seeing it pop up evertime I search for something to eat… then after combing the whole of novena we decided to go to quality hotel to chill… seeing the porridge supper buffet I know I will try it someday soon… after that Clare made a joke of the day when she asked is it Cand and me alight first where she stayed at Sengkang… cannot be we go sengkang then come back tpy right…
My alarm went off and I nearly overslept for my first dose of soccer… made my way down to bishan park to debut my new boots… better than my blister pair… just need to tighten it abit more and I’m ready for my match… which reminds me stamina training would need to start this week… then I went home to catch a nap before my 2nd dose with the bty guys… low turnout… but maximum fun till I got shagged near the end… gathered one last push before going to had a refreshing drink of sugar cane with lemon at lor 5… super nice… and I had my dinner at 9 after I finally decided to get my ass down… went to HY house to watch him play the bully before heading home to rest… and Im still thirsty… ok time to rest… 3 more weeks to sch… cant wait…

PTS!
Pre-Transformers Syndrome that is… how do you know if you had it? 1) Every mobile transport passes by and you think it’ll be awesome if it could transform into a robot and talks… 2) You keep checking for the latest news and trailers every hour or so and read every available forums for spoilers 3) You started to pre-order the toys even before they are out…
Ok back to updates… seems like Im quite busy this few weeks most of the times I posted just once or twice a week… Friday met up with mx… kinda impromptu… though Joe tempted me with a friend he wanted to intro me but I think its not very good to fly aero (altho she did it to me once, haha)… catch up quite alot… she’s more open now but most of it is still the same… I was thinking it must be due to the stuffs she studied back in Uni… caught I love you, man with a blocked nose… then sent her home… saturday met up with hy for we11 and just rest at home for my sunday early morning soccer…
Since today’s aftnn session is cancelled so I went to the early morning field soccer… and I got a super disgusting blister on my heel… can see the skin overlaps… was going to take a pic but too tired now… going to get a new boots soon… a $50 lesson to never buy a just nice size for a shoe… so after that went to watch another thriller named taking pelham 123… super good acting plus non stop action… kinda reminds me of taken… after that is dinner with my dad at Tims… since he’s craving for western food and dont want to go crowded places… we went there @ 530… after walking past the restaurant countless times after my soccer every sunday I knew the crowd will come at 6… maybe its a universal dinner time in sg… so we beat it and got hold up during desserts but still we did not waste as much time as the others… haha… food was great as usual… better than ashtons if u ask me…
I almost went to get the Transformers dvd but looking at the time I probably wont make it before it closes… had to watch the uncut scences cos I knew some of them was shown in the trailers and not the movie… 2 more days to ROTF… cant wait… but first… a bigger event is happening tomorrow… first bitter then sweet…

Power Packed!
Started off with L4D on friday with the akat guys… decided to postpone or skip PC show as I had nothing to buy… of course if I wanted I could get a Laptop for laziness or a new hp as my plan is up… so met the guys and played versus mode… quite fun and towards the end abit shag already… so headed home to rest for eventful saturday…
Woke up from my 8 hours of sleep and tried the wanton mee from the new stall near my house… not bad… finally an alternative to the western foods, zi char and ba chor mee… then went to PC show with rick, cyn and joe… looking through all the laptops and pc’s specs I finally got a hand on some infos for the new parts… preparing myself to make a super cpu for diablo 3 yea… hahaha… talked to the promoter who attend to rick… was earning less than me when I worked at at lenovo… but he said there’s alot of customers so kinda makes up for it… no joke standing 10hrs and talking the same stuffs for 4 days… you just keep spamming the same rubbish to strangers you probably wont remember and hope they come back to get it from you and not some other pretty girls… this show there’s an overkill of promoters… so much that some are just standing there chatting away… I even missed my lunch break last time… and I also see some who went out of the halls to eat… kids this days are blessed yea… afternoon plans took a twist as SJ was down with lung infection for the past 3 days and after lunch and accompanying cyn for her shopping I went home to cool down and prepare for my movie marathon
1st up Land of the Lost… quite funny I must say… some lame jokes and childish actions… the occasionally use of witty lines are good too… halfway through the show I rubbed my eyes too hard and thus my left contacts got ’sharinganed’… I had to close my left eye for half of the movie like Kakashi… then after that met the pah and aaron for Drag me to Hell… once the movie starts… the loud songs indicate to us that we are in for a loud show… ok it was pretty scary in the beginning… with the lamia and stuffs… but after that when she got cursed it began to get funny… haha… but aaron still close his eyes most of the time…
After that I missed the last train to Doby for L4D again with my dota gang… thus I called Irwin but he apparently ask me to go yew tee to ask JW drive me instead while he was at woodlands… must be doing things with his gf la… so I took the last train to YT and it was super long! And I cant fall asleep cos missing the station means game over… then I still had to wait for 20 min or more for JW to come down… then fetch brian before speeding off… and I really mean speeding… he drives like there are no cars on the road… reached there and saw Irwin with his gf… and immediately the 2 of them said why she come cos it will be boring unless she played too… thats the reason why he keep changing and you 2 in a long r/s… this time irwins gf looks eurasian… btw her names felicia… then started the 1st expert mode I’ve played for L4d… quite exciting… finished the game in 1hr 40 mins… then while the guys went to tau hua Irwin send me home… he zeng his car with heavy engine sounds and some other stuffs… he too drives like initial d… felicia knows the roads and tpy pretty well to my amaze… cos normally when I tell ppl where I stay they will just either 1) Oh ok… 2) its near (insert name of any place here) right? In face she said its opposite sph right… I was too shag to initiate any small talks as I was out for close to 20 hours… so I just stone all the way to home and crap on msn all the way till 5 before hitting the bed…
Woke up @ 12 today and slack till 1 before rolling off bed… had a quick lunch before going for soccer… didnt wear my new boots… the old one surprisingly feels very comfortable… maybe it knows im going to throw him away… soccer today was normal and got better towards the end… starting of the game I keep having to look who’s behind me… the last few games we finally got the team formation right and we played with a better flow… knowing where our team members are without looking up is crucial… wrapped it up when the guy who plays just to vent his frustration on us falls, we capitalise on the loose ball and scored… as I always says… karma will get to you no matter what… ok super tired now… not too hot this 2 days… keep the rain coming now!

Choices
I just caught a commercial for a recent drama… about this guy choosing his buddies and passion over his love for this girl… instantly I thought of the day I chose soccer over her… haha… and I’m going to my sunday session now…
Jh
Sentence
“Maybe you just think for other people more than an average person does”
This sentence totally stunned me when it was said to me… this shows I’m not at that level yet… the new guy is coming on tues… gather some info on him… gamer… amazingly hes one of those who go to arcades and earn points so as to… maybe satisfy himself? anyway just finished L4D with the guys… going to turn in soon… I’ll have to be at my versatile best to accomodate all the plans tomorrow… busy day… but first… supper time!

Cliff
Went out for coffee with him yesterday before he flies off tonight… talked about alot of stuffs from nonsense mostly from me to the society and future… he’s going to aussie for 2 months holiday… somehow the small talk makes me feel kinda recharged…
I never wanted to hurt any of them, that’s why I never commit
They know what kind of guy I am
So only the ones looking for a good time approached me
When they weren’t around I was completely alone
Sometimes I sit down and think
What would I be doing if I never met my love
I’m almost positive that I’ll be spending my days all alone
If what I’m describing makes you feel lonely
Then you better stop what you are doing

Blood…
I vomit it while watching Blood… weak plot, poor effects… enough said… Ok recap…
Friday went for coffee/tea session with Akatsukis… discussed about the upcoming story and as usual all the funny ideas came out… then I realised that in 1 day you can only laugh the hardest for one time… then even if there are funnier jokes you cannot laugh as hard as before… strange isn’t it…
Saturday went for haircut before hitting town for some GSS shopping… went to cuppage area for dinner and found out that the wanton mee stall @ sunshine plaza opened another outlet there…
Sunday is soccer day and I went to bishan park for a kickabout… its been sometime since I’ve stepped onto a field for soccer… it offers a different dimension than street soccer… more teamwork, area covered, mobility and of course vision… I also discovered my ever realiable predator pulse is wearing off… its the left boot somemore… my dad says its how I do the running… quite true as I always starts of on my left foot… lucky I bought a stand in the day before… guess my boots can only last me for 3 years max…
Afterwards it rained so I went to take a nap… woke up and saw the sms that said afternoon street soccer was resumed… it was too late by then… crap there goes my double servings of soccer… anyway I joined Joe for his shopping… actually he’s getting what he needs for his overseas studies… due to the Levi’s promotion I can’t resist getting another pair even though I’ve already bought their signature brand already… got the vintage with a lighter wash to match my new aldo shoes… then off we went for Astons with Fate joning us after her ktv… food wise was ok considering their location and portion… but the queue and mixed up with the food for the tables was a turn off… oh well then we proceeded to watch blood… then caught the train home… super tired week…
Total Damage – $623
Maybe I should just get the LV wallet instead… but still I’m spending the freed up cash from my US trip… ok I promise to stop after I get a shorts because I realised in this kind of weather I cant possibly wear jeans to get our of house…
