CIP at metro

today chinks, berge and me went for the metro-syif cip thing that we signed up for damn long ago. it was held at woodlands metro so we decided to meet at woodlands mrt first.
as usual berge was late by 15 minutes, but it was for my sake cos he had to find the nes controller thing that he wanted to give me, so his lateness was perfectly justified.
chinks was late by like 50++ minutes cos he forgot to collect his punch in card and he received much punishment from the manager of the metro store later on(more on that later)

so berge and me collected the vouchers and brought them down to our booth on the first floor in the metro store. for some reason they only provided one chair for 3 ppl and so for the next 4 1/2 hrs we took turns to sit on the chair. or rather me and berge took turns to sit on the chair lol. while chinks was still busy getting here i spent my time chiding berge for staring at the scantily clad women in the vouchers.

chinks then called asking for help cos he couldnt find his way there, and berge went to the security counter to rescue him. soon he came back in fits of laughter as he jovially described how chinks turned up in civvies instead of sch uniform and had to go into the office to get disciplined by the manager.

i then went up to the 2nd floor to the office to ask the manager where in the world the animal magnets we were supposed to give out togetehr wif the vouchers were, but on the way i met chinks who had a sheepish expression on his face closely followed by the grinning manager who was grinning in great satisfaction. she proceeded to tell me "help me scold this boy later ok? he needs to be punished." all the while flashing him that look that you only see on the face of a bonks when he sees a small cute boy.

we then started our work which was basically to sit there and wait for people to come and put money into the donation box and pass them the voucher. unfortunately it seemed like the main attraction of the donation thing was actually the free animal magnets. since the stock for the week had been given out no one gave a shit about our booth. me and berge started counting the number of times people glanced at our booth for longer than 1 second, and i think we din get into single digits. 3 people came up and asked about the magnet but when told that we din have any they said oh and left.

in the end berge felt bad and decided to donate 5 bucks to it. and guess wad? that was the grand total we collected for the day. so in 4 1/2 hrs of donation collecting we collected 5 bucks for charity which equates to 0.37 cents per man hour of work. we felt quite bad that we din do anything but then there wasnt much we could do since we're not supposed to approach people to ask for donations.

so basically we spent the 4 1/2 talking and speculating about how teo could stand going for 7 sessions of this boring thing then we remembered that he had fantastic company and wouldnt feel bored anyway and felt sincere happiness for him.

and when we went back to sign out the manager called chinks "naughty" for signing out early and coming late. lol and i lost count on the number of times she batted her eyelids at him.
Koped these off kennysia.com..its a damn interesting blog go read it
Wow dangerous toilet indeed


What kind of pick would you like to have today?

my neat study table



















Heres a look at my study table that hasnt been touched ever since end of o levels. (cos after that i gave up trying to tidy it up and studied on my bed instead)


Despite the overwhelming mess(actually this is quite good already it used to be like 3 times as bad) i really like it cos everything i need is easily accessible. well almost everything other than studying space but who cares about studying at the moment? (other than angsie but since when does his opinion count ha)


Labelled in red are the more important and significant items on my table:


1. My wallet which contains a tiger cup ticket for the myanmar vs singapore match, the singapore cup final ticket, lots of movie stubs, nutritional information of every single item on the mcdonalds menu, and a starbucks voucher for a free coffee that u get for free if you donate to the salvation army.


2. Beloved 2nd-hand palm m505 which lasted me for like 2 years and cost me 200 bucks. still great for reading ebooks other than the useless battery life.


3. my metro syif cip card thingy! as if boonlay youth club doesnt already provide enough cip hours, heres another 7 hrs of cip to be done selling stuff for charity or sthg like that. And yes its the same cip activity of which teo signed up for 5 sessions, 4 of which was wif a certain vball teammate of the opposite gender.

4. 1S06B(my previous previous class) class list. i found it in the bottom of some file and nostalgia overwhelmed me. unable to stem the emotions flowing through my heart i duly proceeded to place it on my table.


5. trusty old gameboy colour which still works despite years of mistreatment. and no i do not play pokemon on it. i go for more intellectual games such as super mario.


6. the fake slightly less original xbox controller i bought for berge from shanghai for just 14 bucks! and it actually looks quite real compared to the pirated license lacking ones in singapore which cost like 30 bucks.


7. my cd wallet containing the various games and applications that i have burnt to cd after due consideration of their legality.


8. Copy of gp bull(i think? Im too lazy to pull it out to check). Most likely only touched on the morning of the day of the gp paper and then cast into oblivion.


9. Ballpump. Er ya its a ballpump.


10. See that yellow/orangey thing there? Thats the fun water toy i won at the boonlay kindergarten fun fair after challenging fd and bonks to a hard fought contest of picking up marbles with chopsticks. (fd won in the end, but i think he cheated)


11. my dearest PW journal! I mean everytime i look at it i feel an overwhelming urge to actually open it up and write something relating to pw in it! “Dear PW journal, the last session of project work has been undeniably immensely beneficial..”


12. mickey mouse piggy bank. Due to an unfortunate combination of the lock falling off and my lack of willpower it is currently quite empty.


13. My cd cake of 50 cdrs. As can be seen ive been engaging in the burning of quite a number of legal materials that has resulted in the small amount of cds left inside.


14. Half eaten tube of hichews strawberry.(i think coke and grape are the best flavours) im going back to eat it up later.


15. My pen holder containing various kinds of styli.(which are the pen thingies that you poke the screen of a pda with for the uninformed) Unfortunately they are greatly decreasing because berge is constantly losing his and asking me for more.


16. My even larger cd wallet that contains an even large collection of even more legal computer material.

why is it that..

my msn is so screwed up?
the two hours before a champions league match always seem to be the longest?
there always has to be that nagging worry that refuses to go away?
its always so easy to see the faults of others but so hard to see their good points?
late nights at the com are always so boring?
the pots like to call the kettles black?
these replies need to be thought up and dont come naturally?
people can lie so blatantly and so righteously?
i dont get how this freaking world works?

A college teacher reminds her class of tomorrow's final exam. "Now class, I won't tolerate any excuses for you not being here tomorrow. I might consider a nuclear attack or a serious personal injury or illness, or a death in your immediate family but that's it, no other excuses whatsoever!" A smart-ass guy in the back of the room raised his hand and asks, "What would you say if tomorrow I said I was suffering from complete and utter sexual exhaustion?" The entire class does its Best to stifle their laughter and snickering. When silence is restored, the teacher smiles sympathetically at the student, shakes her head, and sweetly says, "Well, I guess you'd have to write the exam with your other hand.

harry potter fan fic

was bored by the real vs barca match so decided to check out some harry potter fan site after being inspired by a 4th reading of the half blood prince.
anyway i saw the fan-fic section where like 60% of the stories written fall under the romantic category.
surprisingly the harry/hermione pairing isnt the most popular one, with only 152. hermione and ron have 224 and hermione and draco have 239. and theres even 53 depraved people who wrote stories about hermione and snape. oh man can you imagine them in a movie together.
lol and theres even one about lupin and sirius. in fact 84 stories are about same sex pairings. harry potter fans are too free..

harry potter

watched harry potter and goblet of fire this afternoon..quite nice overall i found it much nicer than prisoner of azkaban which was quite boring
quite a lot of action this time, a lot of visually spectacular scenes which i like..plot was quite boring as usual but then again how much can u change the plot which everyone already knows and has already committed to memory.
biggest letdown of the movie i think was the omission of all the action in the quidditch world cup they din even show the quaffle flying about the place. and also the personalities of the characters seem to have been changed quite a bit..dumbledore is this quite violent guy who even grabs harry by the neck halfway thru the show and tries to strangle him or sthg. definitely not like what i visualised in the book.
and wow emma watson wow fleur

when i grow up, i want to work at jalan besar stadium

today me berge bonks and nat went to the FAS's office at Jalan Besar stadium to collect the free tickets to the Singapore cup final we won for sending an sms. actually only me bonks and nat were collecting because a certain person forgot to send the sms despite my repeated reminders..but oh well that goes into another story all together.
So we went into the office and were immediately awestruck by what we saw on the other side of the glass door-a damn nice carpet grass pitch which had different stripes of colour! and no track summore so it looks like those pitches u see in england damn cool. anyway the kind ppl at fas let us go there to touch the grass lol and we spent like 10 minutes walking on the sidelines admiring the damn nice stadium.

anyway after we collected the tickets we proceeded out of the stadium and crossed a road, where i saved berge's life by hauling him back in front of a speeding oncoming truck. too bad he scolded me for being stupid instead of thanking me for my concern.

who wants to go watch singapore cup final this sunday 7.30 at national stadium? i have like 6 more extra tickets if no one wants i'll give it to nat for her soccer people.

Phone Call

Several men are in the locker room of a golf club. A cell phone on a
bench rings and a man engages the hands free speaker-function and begins
to talk. Everyone else in the room stops to listen.

MAN: "Hello."

WOMAN: "Honey, it's me. Are you at the club?"

MAN: "Yes"

WOMAN: "I am at the mall now and found this beautiful leather coat. It's only $1,000. Is it OK if I buy it?"

MAN: "Sure, ...go ahead if you like it."

WOMAN: "I also stopped by the Mercedes dealership and saw the new 2004 models. I saw one I really liked."

MAN: "How much?"

WOMAN: "$60,000"

MAN: "OK, but for that price I want it with all the options."

WOMAN: "Great! Oh, and one more thing...the house we wanted last year is back on the market. They're asking $950,000."

MAN: "Well, then go ahead and give them an offer, but just offer $900,000."

WOMAN: "OK. I'll see you later! I love you!

MAN: "Bye, I love you, too."

The man hangs up .The other men in the locker room are looking at him in astonishment.

Then he asks: "Anyone know who this phone belongs to?"
Meeting The Parents

A girl asks her boyfriend to come over Friday night and have dinner with her parents. Since this is such a big event, the girl announces to her boyfriend that after dinner, she would like to go out and make love for the first time.

Well, the boy is ecstatic, but he has never had sex before, so he takes a trip to the pharmacist to get some condoms. The pharmacist helps the boy for about an hour. He tells the boy everything there is to know about condoms and sex.

At the register, the pharmacist asks the boy how many condoms he'd like to buy, a 3-pack, 10-pack, or family pack. The boy insists on the family pack because he thinks he will be rather busy, it being his first time and all.

That night, the boy shows up at the girl's parents house and meets his girlfriend at the door. "Oh, I'm so excited for you to meet my parents, come on in!"

The boy goes inside and is taken to the dinner table where the girl's parents are seated. The boy quickly offers to say grace and bows his head.

A minute passes, and the boy is still deep in prayer, with his head down.

10 minutes pass, and still no movement from the boy.

Finally, after 20 minutes with his head down, the girlfriend leans over and whispers to the boyfriend, "I had no idea you were this religious."

The boy turns, and whispers back, "I had no idea your father was a pharmacist."

from the official man u newsletter

"Robert was uncertain and scared to miss the penalty and he made a big mistake and a wrong decision. He was not lacking seriousness or respect - he was lacking confidence."
Arsene Wenger

"Robert's leg went numb, but had he touched the ball, I would have been there to bury the ball."
Thierry Henry. So does Pires go numb when he gets nervous?

"I have never found anyone who had the guts to do it with me. Robert Pires did - but then he missed the ball."
Hey Bobby, what's the French for 'air kick'?

"I will now take the penalties - all the time."
Sense prevails - eventually - for Thierry...

"I will try the routine again - but next time I will push the ball off the penalty spot for someone else."
Then vanishes again.

"You know why they took the second penalty like that? They have so many penalties in a season they had to do something different."
Jose Mourinho, candid as ever, has his say.

"I am happy to hear that he would like me to teach him a few of the things I stand for. I would happily teach him not just about winning and playing well but also about winning respect from people. That is more important than the titles you win. He has time to learn how to win and how to lose. To earn the respect of the whole world is a different story."
Dutch legend Johan Cruyff hits back at Mourinho.

"This Chelsea is better and more solid than the best-ever Real Madrid team. At this moment Mourinho could put out two teams with the perfect guarantee of not losing to any club."
Claude Makelele, before Chelsea's clash with Charlton.

SLeague soccer

While waiting for the man u match to start i shall blog about soccer that is closer to us..the S-League!
First we shall go into my theory of how leagues in the world are named. Leagues in excellent footballing nations like Brazil and Germany get pretitled with an letter close to the start of the alphabet. Therefore the Brazilian league and German League both start with B. Lesser footballing nations like England get pretitled with E, and even louser ones like Singapore get the ones all the way at the end at the alphabet. Anyway, the point of this is that only the best of the best of the leagues in the world get to start with A..and hey..what a coincidence..thats where Yorke belongs!
Anyway, angst berge bonks and me went to watch SAFFC vs Geylang at CCK stadium on thursday. The tickets only cost 1 buck each cos we were students, and they even gave free ice cream for each ticket purchased. That is like the cheapest entertainment Ive seen for damn long.
After waiting outside the gates for like 30 minutes for that stupid berge to arrive and missing 49 seconds of the match, he finally arrived and we rushed in to grab our seats in quite a packed stadium. And contary to our expectations the match was actually quite good.
Geylang drew first blood thru some thai dude called Pittipong or as bonks would call him "Pretty bonks". Then while berge and bonks were busy staring at some male cheerleader, Alexander Duric levelled with a predatory strike not unlike that of Van Nistelrooy. Then SAFFC scored again when Noor Ali(whos like 3 heads shorter than Duric) was pulled down in the area.
Then Pittipong went crazy and like went thru 4 SAFFC defenders to shoot past Adi Saleh in the SAFFC goal who sadly like touched the ball 3 times in the entire match(all 3 times to pick the ball up from the back of the net). Apparently John WIlkinson then scored another goal in identical fashion but i din see cos i was distracted by two small boys playing with a rubber ball at the steps below us. SAFFC needed to win to keep their title hopes alive and this was reflected by the SAFFC dude behind us who started shouting damn loudly at the referee.(both me and bereg concluded that he betted on the match)

Anyway in the end duric only managed to score one more so they bid farewell to their title hopes. In all it was a damn nice match with good displays of skill, espcially by the Nigerian guy in SAFFC called Greg Nwokolo whos damn good at dribbling.

Moral of the story? Go watch an Sleague match one of these days, you wont regret it cos its really worth it supporting SIngapore soccer. Just dont go watch Paya Lebar or SInchi or sthg like that and you'll probably enjoy it.

weird injuries

Freak injury rules out Hammers keeper Carroll

West Ham goalkeeper Roy Carroll has been ruled out of Sunday's Premiership clash with Middlesbrough after injuring his knee in a freak training-ground accident.

The Northern Ireland international was collecting balls from a goal when his foot was caught in the net, leading to the problem and giving Shaka Hislop his first start of the season following his return to Upton Park from Portsmouth in the summer.

Stephen Bywater has also been recalled from his loan spell at Coventry as cover for Hislop, while at the other end of the pitch Jeremie Aliadiere will not be in the squad as the on-loan Arsenal forward, continues his recovery from a hernia operation.

Here we look at some other bizarre injuries sustained by players over the years.

RIO FERDINAND: During his spell at Leeds the England defender managed to pick up a tendon strain in his knee watching television. Ferdinand had his foot up on a coffee table for a number of hours and ended up injuring a tendon behind his knee.

RICHARD WRIGHT: The Everton goalkeeper faced most of the summer on the sidelines after damaging his shoulder falling through a loft as he was trying to pack away his suitcases.

SEAN FLYNN: The then Kidderminster captain suffered a broken nose, busted lip and bruised toes after tripping over his son's toy cars.

DAVE BEASANT: The veteran goalkeeper managed to rule himself out for eight weeks in 1993 when he dropped a bottle of salad cream on his foot, severing the tendon in his big toe.

SANTIAGO CANIZARES: The Spain goalkeeper missed the 2002 World Cup after accidentally shattering a bottle of aftershave in his hotel sink. A piece of glass fell on his foot, severing a tendon in his big toe.

KASEY KELLER: The American international knocked out his front teeth while pulling his golf clubs out of the boot of his car.

ALAN WRIGHT: The diminutive former Aston Villa full-back strained his knee by stretching to reach the accelerator in his new Ferrari. He subsequently swapped the sports car for a Rover 416.

DAVID JAMES: The England goalkeeper once pulled a muscle in his back when reaching for the television remote control and the keen angler also tweaked his shoulder when trying to land a monster carp.

STEVE MORROW: The former Northern Ireland defender broke his collarbone after falling off the shoulders of Tony Adams while celebrating the 1993 League Cup final win against Sheffield Wednesday.

ALEX STEPNEY: In 1975 the Manchester United goalkeeper Alex Stepney dislocated his jaw while shouting at his defenders during a match against Birmingham.

CHIC BRODIE: The Brentford goalkeeper's career came to an abrupt end in October 1970 when he collided with a sheepdog which had run onto the pitch. Brodie shattered his kneecap while the dog got the ball. ``The dog might have been a small one, but it just happened to be a solid one,'' he reflected.

SVEIN GRONDALEN: The Norway defender had to withdraw from an international during the 1970s after colliding with a moose while out jogging.

ALAN MULLERY: The England star missed the 1964 tour of South America after injuring his back while brushing his teeth.

DAVID BATTY: The former Leeds and Blackburn midfielder managed to re-injure his Achilles tendon when he was run over by his toddler on a tricycle.

DARREN BARNARD: The former Barnsley midfielder was sidelined for five months with a torn knee ligament after he slipped in a puddle of his puppy's urine on the kitchen floor.

LEE HODGES: The then Barnet player slipped on a bar of soap in the shower and wrenched his groin.

CHARLIE GEORGE: Arsenal's 1971 FA Cup hero managed to cut off his toe with a lawnmower.

MISTAR: The Indonesian footballer was killed aged just 25 by a stampede of pigs which overran his team's training pitch in 1995.

why gp should be abolished

1. because it requires you to explain the answer damn specifically to the point where its quite pointless. Like how they ask you whats the irony in this statement blah blah blah. wth its ironic cos its ironic la in the real world who in the right frame of mind would ask you to explain an ironic sentence.
2. because the stupid marking teacher thinks that only amatuers can take part in the olympics and thus denied us of our 45/50 for berge's,teo's and my brilliantly written professional sport essay.
3. because its so bloody hard to get an a
5. cos not all of us want to be lawyers when we grow up.
6. cos poor people like kai dunno the meaning of controversial
7. cos poor people like angst dunno the meaning of crack
8. because i got lower than chinks

its over

and just as everyone says it doesnt really feel like its over. for some reason the promos din really feel like exams at all but im not complaining. and now we have a grand total of 3 more days to relax before we have to go back to school for pw and more lectures and tutorials. fantastic.
Anyway, in these 3 days since the end of promos i havent really done anything. Not used to going home and realising that I'm not obliged to take out a file and start mugging it lol. And theres nothing much to do at home other than play pes/watch movies so im getting bored. We should all get out and go play soccer or sthg yea.
Watched goal on thursday despite my strong insistence on watching corpse bride. Goal was alrite..the soccer was more realistic for sure, and like 1/3 of it consisted of EPL footage. The plot was a bit unbelievable tho, unless you have Yorke's skill or something u dun get into the first team like 2 months after going for trials lol.
Then after econs mcq on friday went to cine where we watched into the blue. It was a rubbish show wif the exception of Jessica Alba, and of course i would rather have watched corpse bride for its deep plot but no the horny berge/hanxu and chinks decided that they would prefer into the blue. In the end we had fun watching teh shark bite off half of Ashley Scotts leg and some nice Alba scenes.
Aha and speaking about horny I haven even mentioned Angst. Hes the reason why we spent like 1 hr wandering ard Cine. Check out team-b for more details.

And yesterday I had my taekwondo grading! Went fine.. I wasnt too nervous or anything just that in the middle of one of my 360 degrees jumping turning kick i forgot the direction i was supposed to kick at and just stood there for a split second..
While i was waiting together wif all the other candidates there was sum super super weird guy sitting in front of me. He kept tapping the guy beside him and asking him "pattern no 7??(Then he would make a number 7 sign wif his 2 hands and push it into the guys face) The block is like that? or like that?" and all sorts of weird qns. In the end the guy got fedup and stopped answering him. And so he turned around and started asking me instead. After like 5 minutes i was super sian so i just nodded at everything he said. Then after the guy in charge gathered us and said good morning before the briefing, that weirdo actually shouted "good morning!" Like wth?? so anyway we started saying the taekwondo pledge and of course the weirdo was like speaking at full volume amongst all of us who were more like muttering.

Then we prepared to spar. So that weirdo's group was preparing and he got up and started kicking left and right while everyone was giving him weird stares. Then he started making a damn fierce face, baring his teeth and chopping the air. And in the middle of that he almost hit one of the helpers who proceeded to give him one of the weirdest looks Ive ever seen lol.

Ah and thats what happened over this few days now that the promos are over i promise to blog a lot more definitely more than the lazy pong.

Sydney FC storm back to clinch points in Perth

tribalfootball.com - October 2, 2005

Sydney FC stormed back from being a goal down at halftime to win at Perth Glory 2-1 in front of the biggest crowd of the season for Members Equity stadium.

Almost 14,000 fans saw Bobby Despotovski nod Glory ahead just before halftime after a fizzing cross from the impressive Jamie Coyne.

The Glory could have gone 2-0 up before the break, but former Middlesbrough centre-forward Brian Deane hooked his effort over Sydney's crossbar.

Sydney were level only minutes into the second-half as Sasho Petrovski took advantage of a mad scramble in Glory's area following a free-kick. It was Petrovski's first goal since his call-up for Australia's World Cup qualifying squad last month.

Strike-partner Dwight Yorke joined Despotovski at the top the A-League's scoring charts with his fourth of the season as he FINISHED SUPERBLY with 25 minutes remaining to make it two wins on the bounce for Sydney away from Aussie stadium.

"I think we played as a unit and we saw a real team today," Sydney coach Pierre Littbarski told AAP. "I told people we needed four or five games to get a rhythm - now we have found our formation."

Queensland Roar fans love Yorke

tribalfootball.com - September 26, 2005

While Queensland Roar officials cranked up the State of Origin rivalry with Sydney FC, there was no mistaking who the record crowd came out to see on Friday night.

Sydney striker and captain for the evening Dwight Yorke didn't reach the visitors dressing room at Suncorp stadium until 35 minutes after the final whistle as he happily signed autographs for scores of fans - young and old alike.

"I'm happy to do it," said Yorke as he made sure everyone who wanted his signature received it. Even once he was in the changerooms, officials held him up from getting changed with armfuls of thunder sticks to sign.

"No problem, I'll do it now," replied Yorke, who without any protection from the referee had been kicked from pillar to post by the Roar players.

Sydney coach Littbarski: More to come from Yorke

tribalfootball.com - October 1, 2005

Sydney FC Coach Pierre Littbarski has sent out an ominous warning to the other seven Hyundai A-League clubs by declaring the in form Dwight Yorke is yet to reach his potential in a Sydney FC shirt.

Yorke has proved his worth already in the A-League, scoring three goals in four matches, and has also thrown himself into his work, illustrated by his effort in setting up Andrew Packer for the opening goal against the Central Coast two weeks ago.

Get your Free Screensavers now!
Critics of bringing the former Manchester United striker to Australia have fallen silent but Littbarski believes he will get even better.

"I think we will see an even better Dwight Yorke in the coming weeks and matches," Littbarski said. "When he came to us he had not played a lot of matches and he had to work very hard on his fitness, which he has done.

"He has been doing well but I think we have not seen the best of Dwight yet. We are just starting to learn to play better as a team and we showed a lot of improvement against Queensland (Roar) last weekend.

"When we improve as a team he will be better also."

Yorke will take his place in an unchanged Sydney FC line up for tomorrow night's (Saturday) clash with Perth Glory at Members Equity Stadium.

Typical brilliance

Dwight Yorke scores again in Australia

Former Manchester United striker Dwight Yorke scored his third goal of the new A-League season but it was not enough to save Sydney FC from defeat.

Yorke equalised in the 72nd minute against the Central Coast Mariners at Aussie Stadium but an injury-time goal by captain Noel Spencer gave the visitors a 3-2 win.

Yorke, who had been a substitute in Sydney FC's last A-League game, a 2-1 loss to the Newcastle Jets, found the back of the net when Ufuk Talay threaded a perfect through ball to his feet and he made no mistake.

The first half had begun well for the home side when Yorke produced a typical piece of wizardry in the 13th minute to enable Andrew Packer to open the scoring.

But Central Coast led 2-1 at half-time through a penalty by Stewart Petrie in the 18th minute and a powerful strike by Andre Gumprecht 10 minutes before the interval.

Yorke was sensational at times for Sydney FC and combined well with midfielders David Carney, Packer, Talay and former Northern Ireland Under-21 captain and QPR apprentice Terry McFlynn.


I quote: "Dwight Yorke scores again" - whats new
"typical piece of wizardry"-hes so brilliant everything is typical
"Yorke was sensational!"-well thats why hes called Yorke
"combined well"-not only does he have individual brilliance he has out of the world team work

mug mug mug

ahh its 2.30 at night and im braindead
all i see is partial fractions floating all over on my paper
anyway chelsea just beat charlton 2-0 and im very sad cos that means bad things for both Man U and my fantasy football team.

theres nothing to blog about

cos all i've been doing is mugging and sleeping my life away. i suppose it'll remain this way until promos are over then finally there'll be something to do that breaks the monotony of this boring/endless mugging.
anyway the whole day today was spent at home stoning. i think i'll go to school tommroow so that i can actually make some progress on my work and leave the many many many distractions at home behind.
on a happier note chinks yabbie and pong righted a wrong for me when they confronted raisa today at school lol. but chinks sent me a picture that just destroyed my ego :(. lets just say that my supply of visual sugar-coated treats is rapidly dwindling.
damn tired now im going to sleep soon good nitee

tired

went to comex today with berge..din buy much other than some lousy skin for my handphone and sum super cheap/outdated thumbboard for my palm.
the exhibition itself was quite sian cos there werent any cool new products so we were just walking ard the place seeing the same things like memory cards and mp3 players all over the place. oh and the damn place was so damn damn damn crowded that you can get stuck in an aisle for like 5 minutes while ppl mill ard u. and thats on thursday at 2 pm during working hours..so u can imagine how crowded it will get during the wkends. i was so tired during the trip that i almost fell asleep against sum temporary wall while berge was shopping for his mp3 player. In the end he did get it but of course not before getting distracted by some other stuff that appealed to him more :p.

after that i went home and din do any work as usual. lots of aardwolf and pes. this is bad i think i need to enter intensive mugging mode soon. this is bad maybe i'll go mug in school after the physics makeup lesson that we have. and for anyone that asks we have this stupid makeup lesson thats supposed to last for half an hour and cover 3 tutorial questions or sthg during our day off cos the lazy girls in our class voted to have it on friday. so now i cant spend the day sleeping anymore. sigh. ok im damn tired now im going to sleep good nite !!

Jose and his technicolour overcoat

In case you cant make out the lyrics:

I close my eyes, and stand there grinning (woah-oh),
we can't stop winning (woah-oh), you'd be grinning too.

When I first came (when he first came), I was de-lighted (woah-oh),
Could've managed united (woah-oh),any team will do.

I wore my coat (he wears his coat), the world is merry (woah-oh),
I've got John Terry (woah-oh) and Drogba too..

I switch them round (he switches round),they all are hating (woah-oh)
but I like rotating (woah-oh), any team will do.

A corner kick, is just enough, a little flick from Damian Duff,
the ball flies right into the net and we are one nil up...

May I return (may I return), to the beginning (woah-oh),
it's so easy winning (woah-oh), when your team is blue.

We can't go wrong (we can't go wrong), I am in heav-en (woah-oh)
playing whatever eleven (woah-oh), any team will do!!

soccer overdose

Today was a damn damn tiring day.
First we had teachers day celebrations in the hall. Being damn tired i was planning to sleep my way through it, but berge forcibly dragged me out of that nice sleeping place to the photocopying shop where he proceeded to spend 1 hr messing up the photocopying machine by trying to photocopy double sided and getting the paper jammed. Anyway by the time we got back the celebrations were just about ending, so we went to the stadium steps where we got ready for the Hullett vs teachers match.
Notable players on the teachers team included Hockey Tan, Jamie Reeves, Jason Teo, Dave SIm and even Francis Lau!
Anyway the match finished 1-1, Sunny and Kamel scoring in the first few and last few minutes of the match respectively. The sun was damn damn hot and like 3/4 thru the match me and teo were already dying. Anyway it was quite a fair result especially wif the teachers winning like virtually every single header(Jamie Reeves was like twice the height of benny)

After that we went to RI to play soccer! and the sun was still damn hot..im like damn red now after 3 hrs in the sun. Too bad i din get to see any teachers cos they were msotly gone by the time we got to ri. Anyway happy teachers day to all my past/present teachers! Miss Lye hope u enjoy ur huge turtle haha.

Then we went to j8 fj to eat where tok said a lot of rubbish -_-. but anyway it was a fun day la. in the mean time i'll setup my fantasy football team and woop teo. too bad theres no Australian league fantasy football if not i'll be winning everything just by choosing Yorke.

Yorke stunner on debut

Australian Football

Yorke value for money as Melbourne hold Sydney FC
tribalfootball.com - August 29, 2005

Sydney FC has drawn a thrilling opening round Hyundai A-League game 1-1 thanks to a Dwight Yorke goal against a determined Melbourne Victory side at a packed Aussie Stadium, lighting up the Hyundai A-League.

Star Sydney FC striker Yorke scored with just two minutes to go in the first half before electrifying Victory marksman Archie Thompson equalized in the 73rd minute.

The Hyundai A-League has promised a lot in the months preceding the opening game and the Sydney versus Melbourne match certainly delivered an entertaining and enterprising show to the record breaking crowd of 25,208.

Both teams had several chances in an end to end battle that had all the drama and excitement of a final.

Yorke was taken down off the ball by Melbourne defender Carl Recchia in just the third minute but recovered to showcase several signs of the brilliance that he was brought to Sydney for.

Yorke struck his killer blow in the 44th minute with a stunning header that gave the marquee player the honour of becoming the first Sydney FC goal scorer in the Hyundai A-League.

The goal came after Sydney FC Captain Mark Rudan fed Andrew Packer on the right side of the field before Packer cleverly evaded Kevin Muscat to begin a long run down the field.

Packer then sent a wonderful cross in to a diving Yorke whose header was far too good for Victory keeper Eugene Galekovic.

Fittingly Yorke's strike was right in front of the Sydney FC fan club "The Cove" and sent the excited faithful into a frenzy.

The goal was the only score of the first half although Melbourne had several great chances of their own via speedy striker Thompson.

Sydney FC goal keeper Clint Bolton made two vital saves with his legs after Thompson's raids on goal and the Victory's best chance came when Thompson hit the cross bar.

Overall Melbourne had four or five genuine first half chances to Sydney FC's three with Terry McFlynn's thundering strike that went wide from an Ufuk Talay corner the best.

Thompson troubled the Sydney FC back four all game had more chances in the second term before scoring the equalizer.

First it took a desperate deflection from Rudan and more brilliance from Bolton to keep Sydney FC in front.

Six minutes after the break Thompson burst into the box and let go with a shot that forced Rudan to push the ball out with Bolton seemingly beaten in goals.

Then in the 58th minute Thompson's diving header looked like the equalizer before a despairing dive from Bolton tipped the ball over the crossbar.

Fifteen minutes later Thompson was finally rewarded when his diving header to a Recchia cross from the right beat Bolton hands down and ensured both sides finished with first round points.

Sydney FC and Aussie Stadium officials were forced to open the gates 20 minutes into the game for only the second time in the Sydney Cricket Ground Trust's history allowing almost 1600 fans that had arrived late into the ground for free.

With only 14,000 of the tickets pre-sold the walk up crowd was also the biggest in Aussie Stadium's 17-year history.

The crowd was also the biggest ever for a domestic soccer match in Australia.
