Sleep early, wake up even earlier!

Have had this experience before... i slept at 10pm last night due to tireness, and now... i woke up at 3.30am and i cant seem to get back to sleep... Tried reading a couple of comic books, cant get to sleep, toss around in the bed also cant get to sleep... It was abit too hot on bed and i was strucked by a terrible cold again! Finally until 5+, my mum woke up and gave me some medicine, I STILL CANT GET TO SLEEP! Oh well, then she asked me to go on an errand later when the shop opens, darn... 6.07am right now... what should i do? It has become even more boring as each day goes by...

Cousin Birthday~

Today, Sunday, rather than usual, i woke up at 9am... Because my mum wanted me to go to my small cousin birthday party at 10am. But when i asked her, she said changed to 12pm... sigh...

Well, that small cousin is like 10 odd years younger than me, so we arent close at all, reached there, ate some stuffs, watched some tv programme. Then, anyone my age or older should know, very very long since i last drank from, those old old kinda glass bottle soft drinks! While drinking, i talked about the old days with my brother, oh my, time really flies...

It was really boring down there, since my brother is to leave for his NDP preparation, well, i left with him. Now im back home, not really sure what to do... raining day yet so hot, sleep isnt an option too.. sigh... what to do?

AC Milan VS Liverpool... CL Finals...

As usual, washing clothes into the late nights... Stupid new washing machine taking much more time to finish 3 batches of clothes than the last one... Started at 10pm, finished at 3am... Enough about household chores, *sigh* At least it enabled me to watch the Champion League Finals between AC Milan (Italy) and Liverpool (England).

It was an exciting match though disappointing as well during the first half. First goal at the 1st minute by AC Milan was awesome, though i was hoping Liverpool can level in half-time. Yet, the slobby defense made alot of chances for the fast forwards of AC Milans, and Crespo scored 2 goals to make 3-0 by half-time. I have been a supporter for Liverpool ever since i got to know soccer, ^-^" That's why i said it was both exciting and disappointing; exciting because of excellent plays by AC Milans, disappointing because Liverpool has no sign of reviving.

Who knows what the manager did during the break? Steven Gerrald, the captain of Liverpool scored at the 54th minute reviving hope, if any, for Liverpool, with a nice header. Anyone would have thought of it as a consolation goal, but Smicer scored a powerful shot from far right towards the bottom left corner, leaving the goalkeeper completely beaten at 56th minute. An excellent cross saw Steven Gerrald roaming into the penalty area, got a push from behind and PENALTY!!! It was clear which direction the goalkeeper will dive but Xabi Alonso still shot towards the bottom left corner with a weak feeble shot, luckily he got to the rebounced and brought it to a draw, 3-3!

Carragher from Liverpool has been wonderful thus far for the defense. The Liverpool fans has revived while the supporters of AC Milan went dead suddenly. Well, if the manager of Liverpool cant see, anyone of us could! Luis Garcia is totally useless in this match, ruining already a couple of chances earlier, providing free fast counter by AC Milan which had already proven deadly! He should be replaced as soon as possible, isnt it? And of course, Milan Baros, i'm not sure what had gotten into him, his performance has not been up to standard so far, still, i prefer Michael Owen, my favourite, *sob* *sob* *sob*

Darn, only at the 84th minutes does the manager realise he need to get Baros off the field? Hopefully Cisse does some wonder and gets Liverpool a late winner to make 3-4! Now, when will Luis Garcia be replaced?! Now Crespo is out, i think Liverpool has a better chance, or more possible a draw, i think. Oh yar, if you are wondering, im writing this blog right during the match starting from the 77th minute, hahaha, oh shit... im gona miss abit of action, it is RAINING!!! Time to close the windows, grrrrrrrrs....

OMG, DRAW! YES, more actions for another 30 minutes!!! I pray for my Liverpool... *praying* *praying* But i think i gona die soon due to lack of sleep, >.< Let's hope such an exciting match doesnt end up in a penalty shootout @@

... ... speechless... PENALTY SHOOTOUT!!! What a way to end this exciting match... crap...

Finally, all ends, my Liverpool won! Ok, time to get some sleep, cosy nice weather, zzzZZzzZ

Movie...Show...Movie... part 2

On Thursday afternoon, i went to bishan GV to watch Star Wars III. As everyone may have known already, this episode depicts the story of how Anakin Skywalker becomes Darth Vader. He follows the rules of the Jedi Knight much more than anyone does, though he didnt really understand the true meaning of the 'Force'. The reason why he turned to the Dark Side, was because of his greed for power, though, it was not for himself initially, it was with the intention of keeping the woman he love, alive...

The reason why i seperate into 2 parts was because i was trying to describe abit about the last show and it becomes abit too long, hehe. =b

Love truely drives one crazy, one doesnt try to do anything beyond own limits or against conscience for own goods and benefits. But as shown, one maybe overcome with greeds, the greed to keep love ones to him/her, never to let go. But be it just having to part each other ways or having to part in life and death, one has to learn how to let go, because the memories still lie inside the hearts, becoming part and parcels of life, that's what makes love meaningful, like the Tuesday's "Ai Zai Shanghai". True love means to learn to cherish when love ones are around, learn to let go and let it become one memory that will never be forgotten when love ones are gone, and constantly learn valuable lessons from these memory, and learn to walk down the life more meaningfully, trying to avoid making the same mistakes again. Love has no discrimination against the rich and poor, between races or religion, though love alone cant make parties stick together just as it is in the current society. We have to learn about each other, accomodate each other, and try the best of ownself, to work towards the dreams and goals of each other. White lies can be told at times yet trust cannot be gone. Reason why lies are told at times, are to keep the other party happy, and to keep dreams alive, as long as we work towards filling up the lies and promises, thats all it matters. Love... is to let go, never to forget, and to bring about happiness, and filling up the slot in each other, be it family, friends or lovers.

Movie...Show...Movie... part 1

On Tuesday night... or was it considered Wednesday morning, i think from 1am onwards... there was this show called "Ai Zai Shanghai" aka "A Love at Shanghai" showing on channel 8. It was about this guy, whom was a young designer whose talents and works always rejected by his superior, and live in a very small house, leading not a rich life. He met this lady and they were in love, but he lied to her about being rich and having a big comfy house. This girl, having living in a broken family, knows the pain, and longs for a house of her own, which she thought of as the most important part if she was to get married. Though the guy lied, he has on many times tried to confess to the girl, yet, upon looking at her innocent eyes and how much trust she has in him, he just cant bring himself to do so. He vowed to get his designs approved for the most recent big project, which he lied the girl yet again, saying he was to go aboard (Hai Nan) for work matters, in which he was actually staying at home trying to rush out the whole part of his design alone in just 10days, which normally took a team of 10-20. I remember this was the line he said(translated) to his close friend(who "lent" his house when the girl wanted so desperately to see his house): "I just cant confess to her, i dont wish to put down all the hope she has on me. Im very confident that my design will be accepted, once it is accepted, i will be rich and can fulfill all the promises and fill up the lies i told to her.". But half-way through, i think it was around the 8th or 9th day, due to anxiety of the girl being so close to a rich middle-aged man, he cant hold himeself down anymore, he barged to the rich man's estate and was searching from door to door in search of the girl. The rich man actually was showing the young designer's profile to the girl, and actually the girl didnt mind, and rejected the rich man's love for her by returning the profile file back. It was a very touching scene, where the girl practically cried on the phone, just asking... "Where are you? I just wish to know where are you?" repeatedly... And at this point in time, the guy barged through the door and saw the girl, and all he said was "Why are you here?" and he knew that all lies was known and he left. Then it was some days later that the girl actually found him in his house, she saw how it was practically a drastic comparison to her dream home. Both of them saw the "make-up" photos made by the guy, a wedding photo of both of them, and the girl knew just how much the guy love her and the reason why he lied... The guy proceed to tear away the photo, the girl at this time, rushed and hugged him from behind. It was a happy ending, the young designer's designs left on his superior desk actually was seen by the customers and they like it very much. He was promoted to "chuang yi zhong jian" aka creative director and was asked to lead the team to Hai Nan(where he lied earlier he was going to)! And the ending was actuallly in a park where they were locked in conversation, which the girl hung up upon hearing he was going aboard, thinking he was lieing again... Yet, when she saw him from afar running, she rushed towards him.. and the show ends here...

Went out... finally...

After being couped up at home buzy settling some stuffs, i finally went out on tuesday, cheers~ As usual, i will go to the AK comic shop first... well... i met mr bear and his gf there, wahaha, wat a coincidence! Later, i met up with my pal, and went to watch the movie "Kingdom of Heaven", showing about Jerusalam (spelling?) wars between christians and muslims, orlando bloom, love, kindness, etc. A show worth catching for 2hrs20mins =) though i hardly caught wat my pal was saying to me about the facts and history during the movie, i think he tried to speak softly, turning out to be just murmurs, which i promptly replied "oh.., ya... etc", apologising here! =b

Then after the movie, which we did not think will be so long though, we rushed off to take bus 25 back to Hougang Stadium to watch the match between Paya Lebar Pungol FC and Woodlands Wellingtons FC. It was an exciting match to see the cellar dwellers Paya Lebar putting up a good fight against Woodlands Wellingtons, had a couple of good chances, yet they wasted, they seriously need some good finishers! Well, after 80 minutes of struggles, they finally made mistake and lost the game, it was a hard fought battle, though lost, yet well deserved our applause.

For me now, since ROSEOnline is going to reset, i dont think i will go back to it anymore(a cleric is a must in high levels, hates!), and finally after 5-6 re-downloading, i've finally managed to download the setup file for A3, which also failed to download fully last time when i tried and gave up. A3 gave me a little feeling about MUOnline, but definitely much better, less pkers and botters, though i havent saw much of the game yet, that is. Well, sometimes theres just some lamers, who look at ur equips and determine the fact ur level is lower and just wanna pk for the fun of it, well... theres even some that ask for WZ(money ingame) so they wont pk u, but pk is fine, because we just need to teleport back when we die, nothing else, we dont lose anything, yet they gain murderer status(MUOnline features?), well.. for me, i just press ESC key, and click on reconnect, and instantly im out of that map, ^-^
Something more i like about this game is that it has most stuffs(G1-G7?) on sale, and all of them is quite expensive due to the fact that they came as "unidentified" when u buy from npc, u can identify urself and may come out with good stats, woohoo. As a matter of fact, no matter wat items u buy or pick up from loots from hunting, all came as unidentified, cheers!!! Except for rings and necklace, and "pets" that identified themselves when u buy them. I like the pet flying around the character, though its hard to level it, even harder to try keeping it alive, xD The hp/mp potion are relatively cheap, so wont make u broke trying to level, hehe, but the revive potion to revive ur pet is uber expensive... and theres some buff up potion on sale, that u can purchase or pick from loot to make leveling, hunting easier. And i think hunting for materials to craft ur own g7.5-g10 equipments is a good motivation to carry on the game, and also, the quests are nice! I've been leveling on quests now, nice rewards and exp.

Anyway, i've not find out alot about the game, so i cant comment much, just tat it looks quite good to me for now, found something to keep me occupied for the meantime while waiting for NS. I dont quite like korean games due to lack of contact, a sg/my one will be a nice one to test out. If anyone is playing or wanting to play, please tell me, => almost forget link http://a3.igamesasia.com.sg/

Happy Mothers Day!!!

Well, today was just like any other day, except that its Mothers Day! I hereby, wish all Mothers in the world a very Happy Mothers Day, all the mums have been great, our lifes would not be the same happy ones without them.

As usual, my mum would find some place to eat, for special occasion. But too bad, all the place was booked, so we finally just decided to eat out together at chom chom(did i spell correctly? o_O) at serangoon circle. Wow... i was sooooooooooooo full from eating.. that i can barely make it home =D We left the house at 5.30pm, ate until around 7.30, the usual stuffs like stingrays, satays, carrot cakes, sugar cane drinks(HUGE!!!), prawn mee etc etc. Took bus 136 home, took a short rest, before we took bus 72 towards tampines interchange for a movie that we have made reservation long ago, watching together with a few friends, "House of Wax"!!

"House of Wax" is NC16... not really that scary, and just those same kind of old plots like deserted town again and again... wats totally gruesome, which *may* makes some of u puke, is the way they kill the people, sewing up, making wax out of live people etc, shouldnt be revealing more, just hopefully dont go in with a full stomach!

Once again, Happy Mothers Day to all mothers out there, we know how hard it has been on you, though we dont spell, you know deep inside we respect and love you no matter whether you are good or bad or watever, =P

Results is out!!! contented but still sad~

Finally, the results is out, which i was not even looking forward to see even. Overall is considered not bad, due to the factor that i hardly study for my exams at all, lolz. But then my Case Study Project just got a 'C', not too bad for one day effort coding for a 15weeks project? ^-^ Just dont feel like taking this 'C' due to the fact i always waste time on the project because my leader sort of dont let me off, and i actually have spent many other days doing some stuffs for the project out of my area scope.

Oh well, i still havent met the pre-requisite of university entry, an average point grade of 3.2-3.6, well... guess i just have to go for my ns first, speaking of which... i still havent receive my ns enlistment letter yet!!! Maybe i should make a call to CMPB tml, dont wanna be charge to court due to absence from ns, wahahaha. If im to be enlisted next year, well, i guess i just have to take up a job at the mean time, slack slack.

This "officially" marks the end of my poly life, in which i will seriously miss the friends i've made in there, and the casual life also. These short 3 years in nanyang poly, has been a wonderful part of my life.

Stealth dear, pls gay with me once more? muhahahaha! Alrite, yandao kia, stop being a bachelor, 29years old, time to find urself a mate.
Niu ge ge, it was really fun being with u, even if u dun feel like it? Famous guy =D
Shivani babe, why din u even inform me ur going to Australia for ur uni study? No more babe to see! Anyway, bon voyage~
Retroqueen, clever, hardworking gal, such a contrast compared with me, wish u all the luck in ur study in NUS, and may the day comes soon where i call u "mam!", but surely not a day i call u tat while lock up behind iron bars, :P
To all others, (i dont think any of u see this anyway) good luck in watever u will be doin, it was great knowing all u guys, though none of u told me wat ur plans was, in the meantime(be4 guys go in ns) =.=
