A song was playing in my head. It goes "Until the day the ocean doesn't touch the sand, Now and forever, I'll your man..." Hmm... Tis is just one of the many songs that entered into my life years ago... Another one that was playing in Cash's car ystday "I'll never get over you, getting over me". This song had let me thking. I knew I was thking abt some stuff but jus not too sure wht I was thking abt. A frd gave me an advice, in short : dun rush... True true, jus so true...
Was wif the softball pple today. Ate dinner at Swensen's. Was raining maos n gous after we finished our dinner, so, Qi n I wnt to get a cab at the taxi stand. Blardi long queue so we called a cab. Cab came n we went home. The driver dropped Qi off first. I was alone in the spacious cab. The cab was kinda cold and vapour collected on the windows. Everything looked blurred. Raindrops fell onto the windows, creating streaks of 'clearness'. If only I had a camera... Wouldn't it be beautiful to capture tis sight?
Saw the Orion ystday. It was so beautiful, shining in the clear sky above... Tis is the 2nd time which I was able to see the formation. The 1st time sucks. It was during the recent softball camp and it was kinda cloudy...
Sianzzz... I aso dunno wht I'm toking abt. Ntg links n connects in tis entry... Mayb mind not thking straight... Back to trivia...
By the way, I was near his neighbourhood, or rather, at his neighbourhood ystday... Was thking of him ystday, but now, at tis moment, nope... While gog home, we drove past his blk... Memories flooded me? Mayb yes, mayb no. I dun have a clear ans myself...

Where's Bugger?
Hmm, seeing an entry at tis time is no surprise... Afterall, I'm a nite owl! Haha...
Figured tt I blabber something here while waiting for Bugger (#cobratrivia's bot) to come back. Disappeared after a ping timeout. Wht's tt? I aso not too sure, all I know is tt I'm still waiting while writing tis entry. Haha...
Dunno wht to tok abt aso... Sianzz... Btw, stuff have been happening but can't say it here. Mayb its not the rite time, mayb I shld let those pple say it themselves...
So I guess I shall stop here now and patiently wait for the bot to come back... Hehe...

#Cobratrivia Outing
Hmm… For the records, an entry in the aftnn. Hehe… Been too much of a slack lately… Doing a cross-stitch, which is way far frm completion… The bookmark in my novel hasn’t ascended a page yet…
Went out wif the pple from #cobratrivia ystday, yep, the 'cobras'. Hehe... Me, cl, gtt, xand, snj, dokes, burrp, Adrian, poison_ivy and fats went for the sushi buffet at Sakae Heeren. When the sushi session was halfway thru, a hill mysteriously appeared at Sakae Heeren, thn it became 2. Haha... Krizz came down to c us n gave us a ride down to Suntec. There at Suntec, klooz (aka Amok) met us. Courtesy of cl’s idea, we went to “ambushed” espie at her workplace. Saw Xiujie thr too! She’s working part-time there. Haha… We thn took a grp photo wif krizz’s n cl’s digital cam. Pool time at Supercue, Marina Square. Snipes came to mit us thr but went off later. Espie joined us aft she finished work. Cash n svenvath came to mit us thr as well, aft snipes had left. The gathering kinda fun I thk. Mayb we can have another one soon… Haha… The only un-fun part of it was whn I was gog home. Since all cabs were “on call”, I went to Raffles City to wait for a cab. Din join the queue cos I reckon calling a cab was faster. But guess wht… Whn I called I was given music to listen FOC… Hmm, how’s tt? Thn as last I managed to get thru n only gt home past 12.30…

Seeking solace
Stuff happens and you dun feel good. Happened too fast for you to notice. So ytf you bother to call or tell pple wht has happened and tell them a whole long story and then expect them to comfort n tok to you abt it. Not me, some stuff are just meant to kept and buried rite down inside me or jus let the wind blow it away...
Friends? Some friends dun tell you everything too. That's privacy and everone needs a bit of tt. So do I...
Nonsense crapping, ranting, whtever u call it. But the fact is I DUN FEEL GOOD now n the only place I can seek solace is in here, thru my writings. Mayb I shld get myself comfy and finish up reading my novel. Mayb I shld concentrate on trivia...
Argh...

I’m a bad bad girl… lol… Y do I say that? Firstly, I was back from camp on the 14th, but I’ve been slacking till now… The no. of my entries per month has been dropping drastically! Must do something abt it… Well, updates abt me…
After the camp, I jus din wanna do anything, was at home practically SLACKING. Meanwhile was online playing trivia & neopets, chking e-mail and most impt of all, looking for a 2nd hand laptop online. Prices are damn steep, better off buying a 1st hand one…
Looking for a job too, went for an interview on Mon liao. Thanks to Angel cos she left her name card with Mercury on the “tour” and thy called her up. She called Been Tee and me up to share tis “lobang”. So I guess I’ve gotta start updating my resume, draft out a recommendation letter and settle the burning of my personal copy of my DVD project! Had been slogging at tis and if I dun burn a personal copy, I’m be so, so, so, so, so, sad… and mayb perhaps a bit sorry for myself…
Was playing a bit of trivia jus now when xand came across tis diary. Xand was searching for cobratrivia under (I thk) goggle search… Guess one of the search results was my diary… Hehe… Snj aso read it thn we talked a bit… Actual transcripts are private! Hehe…
So I guess that’s the end of my updates… Take care folks!!!
Oh yah!_1: Happy Birthday, Amok!!!
Oh yah!_2: Man U drew 1-1 with Bayern Munich in the 1st match of the 2nd phase of the Champions League, no thanks to Paulo Sergio who equalised for Bayern in the 87th min...

Grievances
Hehe… MIA for one week plus liao. Anyway, I wrote this in my notebook on Monday aftnn, but only managed to find the energy and time to type it out now. Mayb kinda outdated but I need to address my grievances! Here it goes:
So wht? So wht if Man U lost to Liverpool 3-1? Liverpool can win this match and every single cup for all I care, but guess wht, they’ll win everythg except the Premiership. And does tt mean a 3-1 defeat = a big hoo-ha, 7 pages to be exact? Hey, Arsenal lost to CHARLTON 4-2 too! So wht is it wif tis particular media? Its sports rooms filled wif pple who pay pilgrimage to Anfield? Its been the so-called “Man U decade” and they can’t lost any single match? Arsenal’s 4-2 jus isn’t worth writing abt?
Puh-lease, even a Man U fan knows wht’s gog on and we DO NOT need reminders. So, tis media has to rub salt on open wounds or add fuel to fire? Give the players and fans a chance, or rather a break! Hey, try getting tis pple in tis media’s sportsroom to run on the field for 90 mins, like 2-3 times a week! Try hearing yourself at Old Trafford while the fans are cheering their fave team on! Try figuring out the morale they have now!
The league is still in its early stages, there’s still time for the players, esp for the defence to gel things up. Given the determination of the players and supporters, Man U will win it tis season, trust me! Sir Alex, although stubborn, will make sure tis pple eat their words, alternatively thy may choose to stuff it up their arse! Give him credit! We may cry foul at some of his decisions, but he has his reasons for them. He has scored in the days of Brucey & Pally & Schmikes & gang. He will score again nevertheless with Becks & Keano & Sols & gang! The youngsters in this team aren’t called Fergie Babes/ Fledging for ntg! Believe me, Man U will be popping champagne and pouncing ard a banner which reads “Carling Premiership Champions 2001/02” at the end of the season!
Oh yah, a particular Mr Edwin, pls eat yr words or wipe yr arse and prepare to stuff words up…

27, hmm...
Yep, 2nd entry of the day. Mayb some of u might be wondering if '27', my jersey no., has any connection to him after reading the previous entry, well, not at all... Only started to kn him in Nov/Dec 2000, but had been using '27' ages ago, since I've gt a beeper.
At first I didn't had a habit of using a code, a no. to rep me till I started to alpha-pg (hmm, can't really remember the name for it). My bday is on the 24th. Cantona quitted in 1997/98, leaving jersey 7 empty. Becks (my fave player) took it. Combined 2 (starting no of my bday) and 7, thr u have it, 27! So, I've been using 27 for 3 yrs now... Hardly alpha-pg now, but 27 still sticks ard wif me.
Whn changing to M1 in mid 2000 and was scanning thru the list of nos., I saw *****020 (thk shld blank out some nos, cos dun really feel safe putting out my mobile no. on the net), 'po' my luck, i asked to c another list, containing the above first 6 nos. Thr was a *****027! So happy cos I thk it's kinda nice to have a sorta personalized mobile no., a no. ending wif my code!!!
Softball jerseys(printed ard end-Ang '98, '00) are 27 while playing for Ngee Ann. Although tis year I aso took 27, thr's no reason to change to another no. cos 27 is my no. rite?
Can't really remember other stuff (which deals wif nos.) tt I 'neigh si' wan 27, mayb the closest to it is tt whtever nos., like my pger and old mobile no., all must have 7 in them...
All's clear and declared, 27 has ntg to do wif him!

Yes, its Oct 27th...
Yes, I'm still awake at this stupid hour. Jus finished watching "Tai Yang Hua" on TVBS. Din really like it at first, tot tt it was another of those cheesy taiwanese serials. But kinda nice, toking abt relationships, kinda teary, hmm, dun really kn y I'm sorta liking it now... Showing A*mei's MTV now... Can't get to sleep due to 2 main reasons: not sleepy n I choose not to.
Choose not to? Well, the MLB's World Series 2001 is starting at 7.30 am later. Afraid tt I'll oversleep...
As for the first reason, well, there are sub-reasons... Hehe...
Well, I woke up at 5pm ystday... Yep at a grand time of 5pm... Slept at 3+, 4 the previous day, woke up at 8, passed somthing to Janice at 8.30 at the carpark below my hse. Went home, koon...
His bday was ystday, 27th Oct. Sent him a SMS at midnight wishing him happy bday. Well, as expected, waited the whole day, no reply... SMS a frd of his to help relay 'happy bday' to him jus in case he c my name n jus del the SMS without reading... Sigh, stupid rite? Really felt like kicking myself in the butt. He's not worth it (according to most of my frds), not worth thking, not worth toking abt. But I? I'm still, sigh... Shld have picked up the pieces mths ago, or at least in late-July, whn I kn tt he has a gf liao. Something's not rite here. Jay Zhou Jie Lun is driving me nuts with his MTVs, pratically ogle and stare at the tv whn his MTVs are on. Can't wait to buy his 2nd album, but gotta wait till I've time to. A*mei's album coming out too, tt shld divert my attention! But no, it did not! Not even my busy schedule! I'm damn f***ing useless, y?!?!?! Been waiting for his reply, mayb a 'thk u'? But it din come. Any SMS tt came in today, any phonecalls tt came in today, I was so hoping tt it was him... Nope, ntg... Mayb it's a hint, no, or rather a straight-in-d-face msg telling me to 'back off', 'forget me', 'I've gt a gf', 'thr's no way tt we can b frds anymore aft we broke up'...
Hungry: Nope
Craving for a drink: Maybe
Sleepless in Singapore: Yes
Playing trivia at #cobratrivia: Yes
Watching tv: Yes
Crying: Awful to admit, but sad to say, yes, betcha I'm crying.
Thking of him: Ditto, replace 'crying' wif 'thking'...

Typing off,

England qualifies! While Cranberries sing Warchild...
Hmm, some sort of a brief update...
Sat: England has qualified for World CUP!!! The last match for the group phrase is against Greece. England is tied in points with arch-rival Germany, leading only on goal difference. To qualify, they must at least match the results Germany will get against Finland. Was watching the 2 matches at the same time cos they were on different channels after I got home. England was trailing by a goal at half time. Sheringham equalises for England with a Becks corner. Germany and Finland still 0-0. Gd, England is thru for the time being. Greece scores. England trails 2-1. Germany n Finland 0-0. Wondering why Finland don't score. Matches go into injury time. Full time whistle goes for Germany n Finland, 0-0. Shit, England must die die euqalise!!! 92nd min, Backs take a free kick outside the penalty area. GOAL!!! Becks scores n brings England into the World Cup!!! Hehe... Msg Amok to tell him the score... Phonecalls time to settle Sun's miting time... So, after the match, it was work time again... All the way till 5am. Amok called. Tok for a little while, thn went to zzz...
Sun: Miting Hong, Janice, Zhou n Chris for lunch at Marche at 11.30. Went to Kallang aft tt. Met Juli thr. Aft watching Hunters (Mingchen's n Jeffery's) play the Jap team, we stayed a little while to c Red Sox (Mr. Toh n Sebas) play Braves. Went LeisurePark, the guys play CS, while I watched then we played pool. Chee and Clara were watching Miss Saigon at the nearby Kallang Theatre, so we met up wif them too. After the pool session, they went to Orchard for dinner while I went home. Work time as usual... till 5+ again.
Mon: Went to sch for project again... Skipped training. Was working on the audio tracks at home. (I illegally copied SoundForge's setup file home, again...) Really had no choice cos can't stay overnite in sch. Lots of problems cos thr r 2 closed-circuit cams pointing towards our lab. So if kana find out, die liao. Slept at 6+, 7+am cos was watching MLB, Cardinals against Astros... McGuire (Cardinals) wasn't playing, lost to Astros. Dunno whts the score cos i fell asleep.
Tues: Woke up at 8.45am. Confirm late for class, class starts at 9am. Went to sch, forgot to bring my ZIP disk, went home to take. Really damn tired. So, I 'officailly' started class at 10am. Dunno wht the *tu* happen to my main menu. Render a bloody f***ing 9 times, still cannot. Tmr have to go back to sch to try to render again. Can't render at home cos it'll end up as a freakin 4+GB .avi file and thr's no way I can bring it to sch. Like wht I tell some of my classmates most of the time, we spent most of our time rendering and converting files frm one format to another. If only the computers in sch are much faster! Sigh...
By the way, I din mention that US have stared bombing Afghanistan rite? Started on Mon... War time... By the way, thr are some stupid pro-muslim active groups out thr staging protests. Can't they use their freaking brains?! Its a war targeting not at Muslims nor at Afghanistan (a Muslim country), its a war on OSAMA and his followers. If its a war targeting at Muslims or Afghanistan, why would the US wana spend money giving food aid to the
Afghan civilians?!?! Sigh... Saw a headline today. It read: Osama divides the world. True, cos governments around the world have to choose to stand behind justice or terror...
First someone dun use brain, insist on a war. Now others dun use brain, holding protests. Sigh... What is the world coming to?
Sat: England has qualified for World CUP!!! The last match for the group phrase is against Greece. England is tied in points with arch-rival Germany, leading only on goal difference. To qualify, they must at least match the results Germany will get against Finland. Was watching the 2 matches at the same time cos they were on different channels after I got home. England was trailing by a goal at half time. Sheringham equalises for England with a Becks corner. Germany and Finland still 0-0. Gd, England is thru for the time being. Greece scores. England trails 2-1. Germany n Finland 0-0. Wondering why Finland don't score. Matches go into injury time. Full time whistle goes for Germany n Finland, 0-0. Shit, England must die die euqalise!!! 92nd min, Backs take a free kick outside the penalty area. GOAL!!! Becks scores n brings England into the World Cup!!! Hehe... Msg Amok to tell him the score... Phonecalls time to settle Sun's miting time... So, after the match, it was work time again... All the way till 5am. Amok called. Tok for a little while, thn went to zzz...
Sun: Miting Hong, Janice, Zhou n Chris for lunch at Marche at 11.30. Went to Kallang aft tt. Met Juli thr. Aft watching Hunters (Mingchen's n Jeffery's) play the Jap team, we stayed a little while to c Red Sox (Mr. Toh n Sebas) play Braves. Went LeisurePark, the guys play CS, while I watched then we played pool. Chee and Clara were watching Miss Saigon at the nearby Kallang Theatre, so we met up wif them too. After the pool session, they went to Orchard for dinner while I went home. Work time as usual... till 5+ again.
Mon: Went to sch for project again... Skipped training. Was working on the audio tracks at home. (I illegally copied SoundForge's setup file home, again...) Really had no choice cos can't stay overnite in sch. Lots of problems cos thr r 2 closed-circuit cams pointing towards our lab. So if kana find out, die liao. Slept at 6+, 7+am cos was watching MLB, Cardinals against Astros... McGuire (Cardinals) wasn't playing, lost to Astros. Dunno whts the score cos i fell asleep.
Tues: Woke up at 8.45am. Confirm late for class, class starts at 9am. Went to sch, forgot to bring my ZIP disk, went home to take. Really damn tired. So, I 'officailly' started class at 10am. Dunno wht the *tu* happen to my main menu. Render a bloody f***ing 9 times, still cannot. Tmr have to go back to sch to try to render again. Can't render at home cos it'll end up as a freakin 4+GB .avi file and thr's no way I can bring it to sch. Like wht I tell some of my classmates most of the time, we spent most of our time rendering and converting files frm one format to another. If only the computers in sch are much faster! Sigh...
By the way, I din mention that US have stared bombing Afghanistan rite? Started on Mon... War time... By the way, thr are some stupid pro-muslim active groups out thr staging protests. Can't they use their freaking brains?! Its a war targeting not at Muslims nor at Afghanistan (a Muslim country), its a war on OSAMA and his followers. If its a war targeting at Muslims or Afghanistan, why would the US wana spend money giving food aid to the
Afghan civilians?!?! Sigh... Saw a headline today. It read: Osama divides the world. True, cos governments around the world have to choose to stand behind justice or terror...
First someone dun use brain, insist on a war. Now others dun use brain, holding protests. Sigh... What is the world coming to?

Singing 'Life' by Des'ree while typing tis...
So, its another ‘early’ entry, but I dun care cos my mood’s kinda nice for once in like almost a month. I managed to make all the stupid and ‘fan si ren’ changes to my Photoshop and have embarked on my After Effects! Yeh! So, the main animation and the bridges are done (hopefully no re-doing). All tt’s left are the multi-angle menus, a total of 8. Can’t do them at home (even I’ve illegally copied the whole After Effects folder from sch. Hehe…) cos the .avi files are in sch. Hopefully I can finish them tmr. Haha…
Thk Amok jus woke up. Hehe… Army has called upon him, will only hear frm him in like 3 wks time…
If I can finish my stuff tmr, hopefully I’ll just pass by sch on Sat morning to chk on the rendering. Then hopefully nothing crops up cos I wana join the gals at Mr. Toh’s place for dinner on Sat then join Hong and the rest on Sun. Heard frm him that the plan on Sun is to go Marche for lunch thn we’ll head over to Katong for pool/ billard/ CS session. He’s saying that its very cheap thr. I really need to distress and enjoy my weekend sia… For the past God knows how many weeks, my weekends have been occupied by softball, washing soiled clothes, ironing and PHOTOSHOP!!! Sigh, I really nd a life!!!
Was shortlisting songs to use for my DVD jus now. Suddenly tot of the song ‘Circle of Friends’ by Point of Grace. It’s a Christian song. So I went to look for the CD, which was in my room somewhr. Found Hillsongs CDs too. Opened the CD sleeve, read through the lyrics, tears dropped. Tried to hold back but I really can’t. Really have to thank God’s grace! For so damn long that I’ve backslide, I felt comfort, warmth and God’s love once again. With some much calling and I still refuse to bulge! What kind of child am I? I guess I really have to work something out some how…

Brain-dead, Stoned, Shagged Out...
Can't think. Dunno how I managed to type anythg here in the first place.
...
...
Went to sch on Mon to do project. Joined the team for dinner and pool. Went home to do some more. Slept damn late.
Tues class at 9am. In sch do whole day also not enough. Found a lot of mistakes. Have to re-do a lot of stuff. Qi called me, asked if I wanted to go shopping. Had to reject her cos I have to finish up stuff which I did in 2 mths within 2 days! At nite, at home, photoshop time again. Did all the way up till Wed ard 5+.
Went to zzz, woke up at 1+pm but just couldn't get up. Handphone just beside me so was chking it for a while. Replied some msg while lying down, fell asleep with the phone in my hand. Woke up again, wondering how on earth I fell back asleep. Replied some msgs again, can't pluck up the energy to get up, lay there for a while. A while = falling asleep again. Woke up to a grand time of 5+pm. Dunno why I can't get up, mayb it's cos I haven't been getting much zzz these days... Gotta abort plans of gog to sch already. Even for training! Went to bath, eat 'breakfast' and put myself down in front of the comp. Opened photoshop, work time.
So, I've been working for ard 8-9+ hrs, minusing the time i took breaks, walking ard, playing trivia, chking mails. Shortlisted songs to use too. Will work on Aft Effects later after my nap. And i stress, NAP! Target wake up time, 1pm. No laying down anymore!
Been too occupied to notice stuff ard me. Thk i'll nd to get a life. Was reading a frd's diary and realised that I've only talked abt me and my projects recently, that I've left out worthy stuff to write abt. But no worries, I'll remember the pig bombing, Mingchen and his MRT handle, potong in Eng Kok's bag aka Kevin the 'bao to kia'...
...
...
Time for nap... Oh yes, Amok's enlisting in abt 1.5 hrs time. Wish him good luck! Promised to catch movies with him in 3 wks time...

Mud War!!!
There’s no one at home when I came back on Fri. I had just came back from grocery shopping at Jelita’s Cold Storage after class. The house was cold, dark and quiet when I stepped in, guess that my ‘rents and my sis are out for dinner. A thought struck me that this might be what would happen when I’m in Australia. Kinda had that lonely and helpless feeling which doesn’t seem to help at this moment. At this stage, when I’m feeling down, kinda like the depression stage of life. Really dunno why, but tears just swelled up in my eyes and I broke down once again… This time, in my living room, all alone…
Marcia, Weiling and Kaixin all came to watch us on Sat. Both teams lost the match, so I guess positions of the teams are quite clearly stated. After the match was over, we had mud war. But we were ‘interrupted’ with the prize presentation. So, after the presentation, part 2 of mud war continued. There was a little peek-a-boo session cos someone’s slacks came kinda loose. Wun mention names nor jersey no. cos dun wana embarrass him. But most of us kn who he is anyway, that includes those who stay a little while longer after the prize presentation and caught us playing mud… Hehe… Most of us end up dripping wet with mud water, including me. I kana ice water too. Beri beri cold. Cos my clothes were wet, I was feeling kinda cold on the bus too. Heng the bus’s air-con not tt power after all and I was sort of walking ard a bit, if not sure buay tahan one… After the bus got us back to NP, we put back the equipment and showered. Went to Marina South and had steamboat. Played pool after that. Shared cab with Janice, Bo Shen and Chris. Reach home 2+, 3.
Woke u ard 3 just now. Guess I was really tired. Washed the muddy clothes and packed up my stuff a bit. After dinner (or was it late lunch?), I did some Photoshop stuff for the DVD project. Seems like never-ending. Already prepared to stay overnite in sch tmr if I can’t finish. Hope thr are others staying too. I wouldn’t wanna end up alone in Blk 52, kinda scary.

Spinning head...
Tues: A Mr. Wong from Bukit Timah Shopping Centre called Ngee Ann (NP) Student Affairs to contact me to contact him. Make sense? Anyway, it was because a cleaner found my wallet in the basement 1 toilet that morning. So, they found my student card in there, contacted NP, NP contacted me and yes, I’ve got back my beloved wallet. So that idiot who took it wasn’t that stupid afterall… I’m not gog to take back wht I’ve cursed and sweared about that person, but will only lighten it by saying he or she isn’t that stupid afterall.
Tmr have to do encoding liao. Not all my stuff are that ready as yet. Die liao. I think I’ll have to start gog to school everyday, early, to do my project. Gotta try to finish it in time, which I dun thk I’ve plenty left.
Thk I’m getting not so sickly, not coughing or sneezing or sniffing too much liao., except for the ever-there heavy and spinning heads. Dunno why aso… Lazy to see doc, cos no time. Mayb its becos my pillow’s too high, too low. Mayb I din zzz well enuff. Mayb I need more zzz. Mayb I zzz too much. Sigh…
So, tis Sat is the match… Hope both the guys’ and gals’ team win by a HUGE margin! Hehe…
Dreamland time… Zzzzzzzz…

Suay... Damn suay...
Damn suay these few days…
My body finally gave way and protested to how I'm living my life. Was down with fever when I got home on Fri. By the way, I was already coughing… Took some Biogesic, wrapped myself up real tight (so I could use the perspiring method to get well and feel better) and went to sleep.
Sat, lagi best. Match only started for 15 mins and rain just pelted down. So damn bloody heavy yet such a shallow shelter. When the wind blew in, only those on the last bench were safe. So, the match will be postponed till nxt Sat. Went for dinner at KAP. The rest went to karaoke while I decided to head home. Dun like to sing when I’m sick, especially when I’m having a sore throat, flu or cough or any illness to do with my nasal and breathing system. Was feverish again when I went home. Seems that the flu virus is starting to attack. Took Biogesic, applied Vicks, slept till almost 3pm today.
Woke up today to non-feverish me, but was coughing, sniffing (can’t blow my nose cos there isn’t much to clear) and sneezing the whole day. No point gog down to Kallang since I woke up at this hour. Packed some stuff, washed some stuff, ironed some clothes and finished up another of my stills (which had been left hanging for some time) for my DVD project.
Oh yah, did I mention some idiot stole my wallet? I know it’s partly my fault for leaving it around, but I really dun mind if you would wanna take all my money and chap-ba-lang membership cards but just leave my I.C and ATM card lah… Take also no use, unless u wanna use my I.C to borrow money from loansharks. My wallet is already precious enough for you to take cos it’s a JPG, extinct design… By the way, if that idiot is a girl, I hope she kana _ _ _ _ - _ _ _ _ for her retribution. If that idiot is a guy, I hope he kana some kinda accident and no more _ _ _ _ _ _ ‘_ - _ _ _ !!!
Argh!!! Frustrations, PMS and stress… All not very helpful. Kinda short-tempered, moody, cranky nowadays… Argh…

Memories of...
Shld I or shld I not trust him. I really dunno. I’m too busy and stressed now to thk abt such stuff. Shld I, shld I not? “Good horse dun eat the grass it has turned back on”. K, not for the moment…
Thk Mingchen’s b-day celebration’s not over yet. B-day song over the phone on Mon, pool on Tues, b-day cake today. Thk thr’ll be mud war tmr. Cos it rained heavily today and the field, I guess is bloody flooded. Too bad I wun be joining in, if not it’ll be “jap roti wif peanut butter and strawberry jam”. The cramp almost killed me today. Buay tahan… Maybe that’s y I seem moody, grouchy, grumpy, touchy, blah blah blah today. Sorry guys… Gomene…
Been irc-ing with the team everynite since Mon. We have since developed a practice of taking over pple’s nicks. Hehe… Jiamin, Qi, Coach (Ken Toh) and me had been on irc without being online. Dunno who are the other victims… Juliana came into our chatroom. Din chat much wif her or the rest cos was playing a game at #cobratrivia.
Man Utd won 1-0 for the first Champions League game of the season courtesy of David Backham. Heng man, at least picked up 3 points. Liverpool drew with Borussia Dortmund. Why din my Michael Owen score?
Will be going down to Michael’s shop, opp Haig Girls’, tmr with Chee. She’ll be getting a glove while I need to get boots or maybe cleats will sound a better choice. Hehe… But I wun be an idiot to get metal cleats and hurt myself. Guess will look look see see tmr.
Heard that Fri the world will be on high alert, standby. Guess that someone wants to act big bro afterall. I understand that this is an irritating matter, hard to swallow indeed. But taking innocent lives for revenge? I thk that’s a big NO NO. Sigh… End of world is nearing… What happened to the so-called World Peace? Had never seen war and will never want to taste it. The last 2 were bad enuff. “Why, tell me why…” Bakayarou!!! Seshinbyo!!!
Hope the world dun end so soon, pls… I have yet to tok to him. Really miss him man. Why does Superpool at Bukit Timah look like Pavillion at Tampines? Blue tables, low lighting, blue chalk… All remind me of him and his mannerisms while playing pool. He, forehead creasing aft missing an easy shot. He, looking at me, toking to me while waiting for his turn to cue, wondering and worrying if I’ll be bored (cos I din kn how to play only till recently). He, giving me a peck right before he steps up to the table. He, chalking his cue. He, rolling his cue on the table to get a straight one. He, he, he, bringing tears to my eyes once again. Thk I’m not trying hard enuff aftall. Really feel like smashing my head into the wall, so I dun have to thk of him…

Blabbering Time
Hmm, today got quite a lot to blabber on… One thing at a time…
1) Congrats to Hong… Got a home run on Saturday against NUS courtesy of their shortstop having an error. Hehe… Kinda morale booster, only if it was done earlier in the game, thn results might be different. The team kept suan-ing him that he wouldn’t be able to zzz that nite. Anyway, the gals will be fighting for the 2nd or 3rd with Singapore Poly (SP) this coming Saturday. Somehow feels a bit funny to play wif them cos somehow or rather, the players know each other.
2) I feel that I’m f***ing being misunderstood. Someone told me that she heard that I’ve got feelings for a very gd/ close frd of mine. This grievance must be addressed! The following points are definite valid reasons why I’ll NERVER EVER fall for him. (A) I’m thking of my ex still. (B) He has ‘target’ liao. (C) Although we are close, I DON’T feel anything for him cos he’s NOT my type of guy. (D) Just CANNOT make it lor. Sigh, being close frds also kana say… Luckily I’m not close wif all the guys, if not sure gt pple say I FLIRTING one… Hehe…
3) Some 2 cents worth: Someone out there thk he’s BIG BRO. Wanna wipe out terrorism in abt 60 countries. Can’t he just leave it to UN? Wah piang… I kn yr country kana attack liao, but declaring war is definitely not a very clever idea lor. Sigh… (Suddenly thking if I’ll kana for toking abt this. F*** care…)
4) Damn f***ing stressed up! Project’s like due soon and I still got lots to catch up on. Here’s wht happened. Went to some stupid computer store in “THE IT MALL” to look for the software that I’ll need, but they ran out of stock. The sale person say that stock WILL (I repeat, WILL…) come in within that week. He told me to leave behind my contact no. and say he’ll call if the stock comes in. Bloodly hell, it been f***ing 2 weeks liao… Damn f***ing tulan!!! How to do my project like that, Then went to sch early to do today, something f***ed up. Did a RAM preview and ended up with colour bars!!! So I guess hv to redo, unless my lecturer finds a way out. Wah lan, spent an hour plus on that leh!!! Time’s running short and I dun hv that bloodly software at home, still got a research thingy to do. ARGH!!!
5) Thk asking my mum to stop having a maid at home is a gd thing afterall. If not, I think my sis n I will end up being bloody spoilt *tu* brats… At least I dun go round screaming and shouting, hoping what I’m looking for will just appear right in front of me. At least I kn how to cook and wash my own clothes, and I mean hand wash, not machine wash. Till now, I still dunno how this new washing machine works. The old one spoilt and I think this one has been ard for more thn half a year. Maybe I’ve gotten use to using my hands to wash my clothes… Best of all, I DON’T go round saying, “Huh?!?! I dun (fill in the blank). I get my maid to do it for me!”
6) Think Amok’s ‘flaking’… So I guess that freak’s finishing his poxing. Hehe… Got someone to watch A.I with liao… Muahahahahaha…
Guess that’s all I wana blabber abt today… Nitey nitezz… By the way, I’ve just gt this hunch that I’ve gt addicted to pool…

Went to some stupid computer store in “THE IT MALL” to look for the software that I’ll need, but they ran out of stock. The sale person say that stock WILL (I repeat, WILL…) come in within that week. He told me to leave behind my contact no. and say he’ll call if the stock comes in. Bloodly hell, it been f***ing 2 weeks liao… Damn f***ing tulan!!! How to do my project like that, Then went to sch early to do today, something f***ed up. Did a RAM preview and ended up with colour bars!!! So I guess hv to redo, unless my lecturer finds a way out. Wah lan, spent an hour plus on that leh!!! Time’s running short and I dun hv that bloodly software at home, still got a research thingy to do. ARGH!!!
5) Thk asking my mum to stop having a maid at home is a gd thing afterall. If not, I think my sis n I will end up being bloody spoilt *tu* brats… At least I dun go round screaming and shouting, hoping what I’m looking for will just appear right in front of me. At least I kn how to cook and wash my own clothes, and I mean hand wash, not machine wash. Till now, I still dunno how this new washing machine works. The old one spoilt and I think this one has been ard for more thn half a year. Maybe I’ve gotten use to using my hands to wash my clothes… Best of all, I DON’T go round saying, “Huh?!?! I dun (fill in the blank). I get my maid to do it for me!”
6) Think Amok’s ‘flaking’… So I guess that freak’s finishing his poxing. Hehe… Got someone to watch A.I with liao… Muahahahahaha…
Guess that’s all I wana blabber abt today… Nitey nitezz… By the way, I’ve just gt this hunch that I’ve gt addicted to pool…

NUS match (Before)
Kinda 'early' for this entry rite? But, who cares... Was chatting away on the phone while downloading songs, now that's what broadband can do for u... Hehe...
All lot of rumours, stories and tales have been said and told about the terrorist attack on NY's WTC. Even saying that Nostradamus' prediction might come true. Just hope that war will not be declared just becos of retaliation, if not, what Nostradamus had said might really come true. This is just my two cents worth, but actually I have lots of other opinions regarding about this "act of war". Maybe whn I manage to collect all my thoughts, I'll type an entry jus toking about this.
The teams will be playing against NUS later. Really hope that they will win. Getting quite excited for them already...
Time to go dreamland... zzz...

Orchard Road
It was about 8.30am on Sunday. I was on bus no. 7, on my way to meet some of my team mates at Orchard Emerald. From there, we would go down to the Kallang ‘Diamond’ to catch some baseball or softball matches. The matches, organised by SBSA (Singapore Baseball & Softball Association) are played league styled. I received a call on my mobile, saying that ALL of them will be 15 minutes late. Since I was nearing the bus stop outside Lucky Plaza, I reckon that after buying breakfast and Sunday’s copy of The New Paper from 7-11 and then taking a slow walk down to Orchard Emerald, I would still be “early”. I dropped at the bus stop, bought the stuff I wanted and headed down to Orchard Emerald.
As I took my slow walk down, I saw a different side of Orchard Road. It was a different sight when compared from what you would see at other times. Times like peak hours, shopping hours, from 10.30pm to 12mn and from around 9am to 9.30am. Yes, 9am to 9.30am. I would be at Orchard Road around that time when I was still working at Takashimaya. Those would be those days where I had to report for morning or full shift at work. Compared to the 8.30am ‘look’ of Orchard Road, it was different although there was only at least half an hour’s difference. The 8.30am ‘look’ was kinda miserable. Very few people on the streets except for a tourist couple walking in front of me, a few Filipinos were sitting at the stone benches outside Lucky Plaza, only 2 service staff in 7-11 and none of the shops were opening yet. The 9am ‘look’ had more cars passing by, more people on the street especially tourists taking a walk, more Filipinos waiting around at Lucky Plaza and the sound of the metal “gates” sealing the entrances of the shops can be heard lifting up.
Besides the beach or the park, this is a sight of (can I call that) relaxation. It kinda have that “you zai xian zai” feeling, no one doing much or anything at all. Even the few patrol and security guards I saw looked like they were enjoying the peace and quietness of the normally bustling Orchard Road. Also, I dun think there’s really a need to say that they look in need of some “chess time”, right? Hehe…
I know I’m being an idiot here, but if you have the urge to relax at the beach or something, why not wake up even earlier, take a stroll down Orchard Road. It’d be an eye-opener in some kinda sense. Maybe that will be the day when you’ll notice stuff in Orchard Road which would never have caught your eye in the past, like me. Well, in the past, I’ve never noticed that the building that houses Rolex showroom had barricades and notices warning people that this is a private property and sitting on the steps are not allowed. Singaporeans reading this, give it a try, k? I might give it a try again, (only walking at a slower pace and opening up my eyes a bit more) if I’m gonna meet my team mates this coming Sunday.

England won 5-1
Writing an entry at this unearthly hour cos I couldn't get to sleep. Have to wake up at 7am later cos gog down to Kallang to catch softball and baseball matches. Since I can't get to sleep at this hour, I might as well be better off staying awake...
Nothing interesting on telly now, not even cable. It's Sept liao, SCV still owns me Telescope, a monthly magazine that show the listings for the month, . Dunno when it will arrive. Real Player refuse to work, so no live stream radio today.
Watched the England vs Germany World Cup Qualifier just now. England won 5-1. Really din expect it. Was only looking forward to a draw or England winning by a goal at most. Germany was always considered a stronger team. Owen scored a hat-trick, the other goals were scored by Heskey and Gerrard. Well done England! Well done Owen!
Shld I force myself to sleep? So afraid that I can't wake up. Scar-li I fall asleep at Kallang later. Sigh... Mayb I shld take a nap after all...

Gambate!!!
Today's test quite ok, think shld be able to pass considering I only read through my notes twice. Registration for IVP closes today and the gals' team has yet to choose a captain. Coach's away for reservist, so can't contact him. No choice, so appoint JM first, cos she's the captain last year. If there are any changes, we can change it among ourselves cos its only for registration purposes. Listening to acid jazz streaming online thru real player. Kinda fast tempo, making me kinda wana stand up and shake a bit... Hehe... But the stream's kinda soft, turning up my speakers quite a bit, till the "oh-ohs" of my icq are so damn overpowering. Solution: disable all sounds of my icq...
Read an entry written abt love. How love hurts yet we are still willingly letting ourselves go into it. Love is risky. Being swept off your feet till mountains high and being let go till u fall and break into million pieces... These 2 areas are only drawn by an imaginary exteremly thin line. Yet, we are willing to take this gamble. Sigh... "Wen shi jian qing wei he wu, zhi jiao ren sheng si xiang xu" 'Nuff said about love, not really in the right mind to talk abt it...
Sabishi ne... Demo, daijiobu! Watashi genki gambate ne! Kare koibito teimas. Demo, watashi wa suki kare, aishiteru ne! Doshite watashi wasurenai, kare o kangae teimas! Ne, watashi gambate! Gambate! My Jap's like coming back to me. Hehe...

Protests for Stanley Kubrick
There’s a test tmr, but I figured out that I’m not achieving anythg when I’m staring at the notes and the notes are staring back at me. Maybe I’m just plain lazy to study or simply I’ve no mood. Maybe I shall go back to them after I finish crapping out here.
Need to get new boots cos the old one has a BIG hole at the sole. There was an additional training session today but I couldn’t make it. There was a guest speaker talking and demonstrating on a more commonly used software in the market which is called DVD Studio Pro today.
So far, my lower left wisdom tooth hasn’t been giving me any problem. Hehe… Maybe its still too early to say, but well, it better stay this way, painless. Find it kinda of amusing, seeing the tip of the tooth sprouting out bit by bit. A bit exciting also. Just like when I was younger, seeing the 'adult' teeth replacing the 'milk' teeth. Now, I'm a BIG child, still so excited also. Hehe...
There's a new reality program on TV Works called The Mole. Must remind myself to catch it. Reality programs are kinda nice to watch cos u can see how one will behave under certain circumstances.
Talking about catching shows, A.I is screening AT LAST. Been waiting for it since Stanley Kubrick pass away on the 7th March 1999. Anyway, it was supposed to be his project. Since he has pass away, good friend, Steven Spielberg decided to take over. Heard that there are not so good reviews on A.I on the net, so I'm gonna take a look at them later myself.
Anyway, he has started on the first draft of screenplay and script, the art direction and the creation of the character, David, even before he shot Eyes Wide Shut. He had to put A.I on hold because the animators he wanted to work with were with George Lucas doing Star Wars at that time. According to imdb website, he's only credited with CONCEPT?!?!?! A bit unfair rite? I think he deserves a bigger credit than that! Before I lose control and start feeling "its unfair!", I'll shall watch the movie, opening next Thurs, open my eyes big big and look out for Kubrick's name in the credits!
Think I'll stop here and take a look at the reviews now.
** By the way, in case no one knows who Stanley Kubrick is, he's the one who directed (the controversial and wht some considered as a posh and class 'porn' movie showing how Tom Cruise and ex-wife Nicole Kidman having sex, which might be a disappoinment to some, cos it din happen) Eyes Wide Shut, (what many consider, including me, classics) 2001, Space Odyssey and Spartacus.

Memories
Sorta thinking why sometimes memories are so hard to get rid of. I had already forgotten what had happened while I was still a child.
Forgotten how my room looked like when I stayed in Holland Drive, except for a vague image of the small purplish timer light, plugged into the wall socket. And except of the vague feeling (hmm, can feelings be vague… heck…) of sleeping between my parents cos I was afraid of the dark.
Forgotten how my nursery and kindergarten friends and teachers look like even if I were to see them right now. Forgotten how I felt when I went up the stage at dunno where to collect prizes for coming in the top 3 positions in those 3 years. Forgotten how the crowd looked like when I was dancing as part of the prize giving day ceremony performance in K2, except for the thick make-up my nanny and mum put on me. And except the red polka dot dress, with an extreme flare bottom.
Is it becos memories fade with time or is it that when we grow up, our skill in remembering stuff is stronger, so we can remember all kinds of stuff better.
I could remember the joy when we beat Nanyang Girls in Sec 4. Our team had no more chance to go into the next round for the nationals. We were trailing by 2 runs and it was the last inning. Nanyang Girls had already batted and it was our chance now. Maybe we were determined to beat them or maybe we detest Jerry’s tuakang-ness and arrogance and wanna shut him up for once… Although I can’t really remember who were exactly the batters who scored these runs, I vaguely recall it was either Peijun, Jessie, BB or Chee who scored us 3 runs. I could recall the rest of us, on the bench cheering for those in the batter’s box or those on the bases. I could recall how I was praying, heart beating really fast, for 1 more run to be scored when the game was drawn. When the 3rd run was scored, all of us were thrilled, happy, delighted… High-fives everywhere.
I could also remember how I and Winn hugged and held to each other upon receiving our ‘O’ level results. I could remember how hard I cried for that moment. It was a moment of relieve and of joy of my English grade. And It was a moment of relieve and of joy of Winn’s Maths grade. We were most concerned about these grades cos they’ll determine if we were able to apply for MCM or FSV.
Other memories that flashes about are the bad ones. Ones about how that Peacock aka “Kong Que” treated us. About how he looked and talked to us, in a sense that he was almost threatening us, forcing us to change classrooms.
These are memories I wanna recall or keep. But there are some which I wish they would just disappear so I can at least say, “Hey, I’ve gotten on with my life!” Like how secure I felt when I was hugged or held by him. Like how he says, “as in”, “l.p.p.l”, “lan liao hor”, “ge gao meh”, “ah, suah”, etc… Like how he creases his forehead. Like how he holds his cigarettes. Like how much I still feel for him. Like how, how I wish I could just forget all these. Maybe they’ll just fade with time, just like childhood memories…

After (softball camp) aka I'm back!!!
Just came back from the softball camp ystday. Had lotsa fun and laughs.
On the first day, we could not get in touch with our teacher-in-charge, so while waiting for him, we slacked out at the clubhse. Too little pple to start playing games anyway. After training and dinner, it was slacking out time again. Some played Counter Strike (CS), some played card games, some chit chat and some gathered in the girls’ room to listen retro songs. Danced a bit too cos damn gian… Too long din go “cheong” already. Went over to the guys’ bunk to watch a bit of Shaolin Soccer. It was a show of “brainless” laughter, just like Goodness Gracious Me. MC, guys’ team coach gathered everyone later for a softball lecture. At abt 3+, 4, some started to fall asleep. Min, Qi, Kevin, Darren (aka T-Rex) and I, and can’t remember who else gathered in the girl’s room to “jiang gui gu shi”. After listening to a few, cannot take it, too tired, lied down into my comfy sleeping bag, zzz…
Next morning was kinda relaxed. Ate breakfast, chit chat, again some played CS. Zhou and (I think it was) Alvin went to collect lunch and bought bubble tea. After lunch, we changed and packed up to leave for Teck Whye Sec Sch for a friendly. Think we played quite well. Only kinda caved in during the 2nd and 3rd innings, letting a few runs in. During the 2nd game, the gals got to bat. It was a good experience for the newbies cos they tried out what was it like to be in a softball game. After the match, went back to NP. On the way, bought drinks and snacks from the Shell station nearby. Got a free packet a instant cereal, there were 5 inside. As usual, after dinner was a relaxing, slacking out time. There was CS session AGAIN. Guess the guys are so into the game considering there were ONLY 2 laptops connected. Yes, I repeat, 2… Somehow I think a LAN game is more enjoyable if its played in a bigger group. MC tried it out too. Guess there were enough pple that nite, so we played a few ice-breaker n team building games. A discussion session followed. After that, some listened to MC on techniques, some played card games, some fell asleep. Tried to sabo Zhou with toothpaste, but he woke up in time…
On the last day, I was asleep when MC went around with toothpaste. Dunno who he sabo. Just hoped that someone has recorded it down. I haven check the tape. Maybe I’ll watch it tomorrow cos I kinda need to rush through my project. Menus are only ¼ done. Have yet to edit my showreel and animate some of the menus too. Luckily I only got 1 moving menu and bridge menus to handle. Just hope that I can get Adobe Premiere and After Effects soon. Most left cos they had CCT test. The rest of us took lunch. After lunch, they went to the library to watch a tape on baseball while I went home to change, bath and unpack. We met up a bit later to go down to Kallang to watch MC’s team, Hunters, play against Safsa A for the 1st/ 2nd placing in baseball. Think the softball games will start next weekend.
Reached home, tired, watched a bit of soccer, slept at 2+… Woke up only today at ard 1+… Slacked a bit before starting on my Photoshop stuff. Watched Man Utd play Aston Villa. Damn si bei heng to get away with a draw cos there was an own goal in the 2nd min of injury time during the 2nd half. Dunno wht the defence doing nowadays. Somehow got lobang for opposing strikers to attack. Now Man Utd has sold Stam to Lazio. Starting to wonder if Fergie is ruining his own chances of retiring as Man Utd’s manager gloriously this seaon. Sian…
Feeling damn lousy too. Down with sore throat and slight cough. Found out that my lower left wisdom tooth is starting to grow while I was brushing my teeth on the first night of camp. Can see the tip of the tooth already. Hope it will not give me any problems cos I’ve heard too many “horror” stories abt wisdom teeth already.
Have to find time to call Ping, haven been toking to her for a long time liao. Same goes for my jie meis, the last time we went out was the weekend before Yue’s birthday. Sigh… I need more time!!! No time for crapping today cos I’ve got to carry on with my project. Ciao…

Before (softball camp)
The day was spent in sch again. Became the guys' "delivery gal"... Hehe... Went to buy mineral water and bubble tea for them. Confirmed the friendly game with Mingchen so i could plan the schedule. It'll be on Fri. Been stressed up abt the camp for the past few days, seems that everything is starting to fall in place. Can stop freting, worrying or stressed up so much already.Tmr's the camp, kinda excited. Hope everything goes well.
Throat kinda feels funny. Let's see tmr to confirm if its sorethroat or cough... Hehe...
Amok had his graduation ceremony today. He was saying he spoke to Jere. Dunno wht they spoke abt. Hopefully not bad things abt me... Hehe...
Blackburn vs Man U starting soon. After the match still have to SMS some guy frds the score. Reason?
Well, when the government calls for guys once they turn 18, its 2.5 years of disciplined life with extreme short hair (most of the time). Standard waking up and sleeping time. If u r lucky, u're in a office doin clerical work. Suay = ok "allowance" = cheong sua, guard duties, yes sir, no sir, sorry sir, permission to (______) sir, outfield training (which ='s to fighting with mosquitoes and eating packets of "food" -which according to real life accounts- that dun taste like food. hey... no joking). Even more suay = a higher "allowance" during this period = parachuting, risking limbs and whtever a commando does. Above all, "po heng suay", no tv. So no tv = no soccer matches = poor guy frds have to be updated = Pacey has to SMS. But on only one condition that I'll do this... Updates are only applicable to Man U matches and Man U fans... Hehe...
"Glory Glory Man United! Glory Glory Man United! Glory Glory Man United! And the Reds go marching on on on!!!"
Better stop this "Man U screaming" cos the Liverpools fans will come after me! Am I correct, Amok??? Hehe...
'Nuff said today. Jus as i'm to log off...
Man U lead by 1 goooooooaaaaaaaaaal!!! Scored by Ryan Giggs!!! "Ryan Giggs, Ryan Giggs running down the wing (x2)..."

Out Of Reach
Date: 21st Aug, 2001
Time: 5:37 pm
Venue: Pacey’s Residence, Kitchen
Event: Eating left over pizza and chicken drumlets from last nite’s dinner. Tv was switched on to SCV Channel 11 aka MTV Asia. First few notes of the song sounded familiar. Before I knew it, it was “my” song.
“Knew The Signs, Wasn’t Rite, I Was Stupid For A While.
Swept Away By You, And Now I Feel Like A Fool,
So Confused, My Heart's Bruised Was I Ever Loved By You...
So Much Hurt, So Much Pain, Takes A While To Regain,
What Is Lost Inside And I Hope That In Time,
You'll Be Out Of My Mind And I'll Be Over You"
Din bother to pay attention to the song in case “the river” flows again… Finished my pizza and chicken drumlets. *Yum Yum*
Suppose to wake up at 7 today to watch a softball match… but overslept AGAIN… Argh… Maybe jus not fated ah…
Online now, chatting a bit on ICQ, watching a bit of MTV, downloading A Little Respect by Wheatus. Dunno what song is that, jus download lor. Nothing to do now aso… No crap to write today… Maybe I should jus log off n go iron some clothes, if not got no clothes to wear. Got a whole load to iron… But so boring n who will iron clothes at this hour?!
Maybe I din warm up/ down properly… Aching all over now. Even when laughing, tummy also aching one…
End of this entry… Might think of crap to past time or just go iron clothes…

Ren Yan Ke Wei...
Din put in an entry yesterday cos I was freaking tired. Spend the whole day in the sun watching softball. Tan all over, damn happy! Fair fair like (in canto) “bak jam gai”… Speaking about being tired, I even fell asleep while watching the first Man U match of the season. In the end, they won 3-2, with the first goal from Becks in the 35th minute. The other 2 were from Ruud. Wonder wht happen to Van der Sar, he’s quite a good goalkeeper…
Anyway, I’m kinda tired now too. Gotta pull myself up early tmr for a softball match at 7. Also showing on ESPN. Got ESPN damn shiok. Woke up early today, supposedly to catch the baseball game on ESPN. But fell asleep AGAIN during the 6th inning. Maybe I tie a string/ rope attaching the ceiling to my hair, (ma chiam like those Chinese scholars in the past when they studied for the imperial examinations) so I wun fall asleep. Hehe…
Crap time: A Chinese idiom/proverb: “ren yan ke wei”. To me, it’s the mixing up of the half-truths, false-truths n the real-truths together to form a story. Somehow when someone says something, it spreads round or whtsoever, “seasoning” is added. And when a person who knows nuts hears it indirectly, he/she will tend to believe what is said. This resulted in Ruan Ling Yu’s suicide. Ruan Ling Yu was an actress in the days where even our parents were not around. She was very popular in the 20’s or 30’s. Dun ask me too much cos I know nuts abt her too, I only knew of her existence when there was a movie screened on tv during my sec sch days. It was abt her life.
Abt how wide spreading rumours of her life by the media got to her.
Abt how she entered depression when she mixed reel-life, which was filled with crying, sadist, crying and more sadist scenes, with real-life.
Abt how she couldn’t stop crying after a scene cos she got too emotionally involved into that scene.
Kk… ‘Nuff crapping today… Time to walk walk in dreamland… *yawn*

Crapping Time
Got to wake up early later, so I figured out that staying up will be better… Anyway, I’ve been sleeping at unearthly hours (read: 6+) for the past 2 days. Dun think it will make a difference whether I sleep or not cos I can’t get to sleep now anyway. Mind’s kinda bank now… Dunno what to write on…
Caught the Sun Yanzi’s mini concert held at Civic Plaza on tv jus now. Dunno why some songs in her last 2 albums kinda got “my” lyrics… Maybe her composers know how I feel… Hahaha…
Aiyah, what crap to write today? Downloading Bosson’s One In A Million nw… Been trying to d/l this song many times. Been requested by the “little princess” at home.
Got an e-mail frm Winn. After reading her mail, tears dropped. Maybe I’ve been counting n depending myself too much. Forgot that “Daddy” up there cares for me. Guess I’ve been backsliding too much. Guess my bible n daily bread been collecting too much dirt n dust too.
*yawns* but no point zzz now… half an hour to go n I’ve to prepare to go out… Showing the repeat of some Taiwanese variety show on channel 8 now…
Think I’ll stop crapping n Go check out scores of EPL matches played jus now…

Sealed With Tulan-ness
At last subscribe liao… hehe… Went down to the SCV showroom at Wisma Atria just now…
Slept at 6+ in the morning… After loggin off yesterday, it was toss n turn time again till I got fed up. I got up and watched some tapes.
Wondering if I’ve got a “qian bian” or I-curse-you face. Think back now really damn tulan! As if as it’s my fault! Was on the MRT the other day wif some frds. A lady behind us called out, “hello”. I turned back n she showed me some Handicap Association pass/ card. She asked if I wanted to buy Christmas cards. I told her I din wan to. Cos I was thinking WHO buys Christmas cards on the train? Anyway, even if I were to buy them in the MRT, I’ll most prob be buying them in Dec, not now rite? (I’m thinking now, I haven even eat mooncake, u wan me to eat log cake liao… Hmm…)
Then she started to mumble to herself LOUDLY. (Read: LOUD as in almost that particular carriage can hear n it’s during the peak hours) She told everyone her life story abt how she made hamburgers, fried chicken and collected trays in fast food restaurants. She added in her statement abt how 4 companies rejected her application cos they find her action too slow. Then she ask me to buy AGAIN. I said I don’t have money n she told me to save up for the flag day coming up soon. Then the loud mumblings started again. She said something abt “u dun buy my cards NEVER MIND. Not say I wanna sell but I got no choice. Blah blah blah… I still have 1000 of these at home.” The way she sounded was like ma chiam I landed her in that state. As if as the companies that rejected her were founded by my forefathers. As if as I threatened her to order such a huge bulk of Christmas cards. Anyway, that’s only her tone of voice. You shld have looked at how she looked at me!!!
I mean when pple say dun wanna buy n u wanna “cry father cry mother” (read in Hokkien), go home and do it lah… I was damn freaking embarrassed. Luckily we alighted 2 stops later…

Stay...
Went to “lim kopi” at Coffeebean, Holland Village (HV) with Keat n Chee today. Talked abt his recent trips to Taiwan n abt other MIA Mei Chin pple. Saw Jerry n Qi today too. Jerry was working n Qi came to HV for dinner wif friends.
Amok’s on his way to Genting now, coming back only on Mon. Nites online w/out him a bit sian cos we talk on icq almost every nite. But it’s ok cos I most prob got a test coming up nxt tues and I’ve to get some stuff for the upcoming softball camp starting on Thurs. And I’ve lots to catch up on my dvd project. Argh… Busy me again… Besides these, I still have to settle cable/ broadband n SCV subscriptions wif my mum.
Yes!!! I’m getting cable n SCV AT LAST!!! No more dial-ups n disconnections!!! No more nites where there is footy on telly n I can’t get to watch it!!! No choice but to subscribe to SCV cos they bring in ESPN. N ESPN got EXCLUSIVE rights to the English Premiere League (EPL). They even got rights to other big games n leagues over the world. Do u call that monopolisation? Anyway, once the SCV subscription is done, I’ll have access to EPL, baseball and softball games!!! Isn’t that SO wonderful? Yokuyata!!! As for cable? Need I say more?
Saw the advert for the “Xing Shuo” vcd jus now on tv. Brought back memories again. The theme song, “Stay” goes like this:
Stay, ying wei ye tai mei, ji mo de yue liang xu yao xing xing pei.
Stay, bu guan ye duo hei, bu guan tian hui liang, bu qu xiang ming tian.
Dai wo fei yuan yuan de, dao tian ya, dao hai jiao,
Hao han de tian ji li, zhi yao you ni pei.
Ye xu ku, ye xu tian, bu hai pai, bu hou hui,
Ying wei ai rang wo men zai ye fen bu kai, Just stay.
~Literally translates to~
Stay, cos the nite’s beautiful, the lonely moon needs stars for company.
Stay, not caring if the nite’s too dark or if dawn will break, not thinking abt tomorrow.
Bring me to a faraway place, to the end of the world n edges of the oceans.
The vast horizon only wants you for company.
Be it bitter or sweet, not afraid and w/out regrets.
Cos of love, that’s why we’ll stay together, just stay.
While translating the song, Kevin called. Long story, so I wun talk abt it. Dun wanna make it seem that my entries are always so damn long.
Time to check e-mails… That’s all for today, folks…

Argh!!! (V.2)
Maybe if I dun tok about it, I can’t get to sleep anyway. What the heck! Maybe tok a little, let these thoughts out. Cos it’s better then letting these thoughts clog up my mind, in the end, still can’t find grandpa zhou for “chess” time…
Frustration 3… Am I still too young to tok about love or am I too old to be at the puppy love stage? If I was, what were that serious relationships about rite? Why would I wanna put in effort to make them work rite?
I look at my guy-friends. One of them, a cheong-ster, self proclaimed a bit gd-looking. Dunno why girls will flock to him leh. He say he dun mind making friends with these girls, but as for them being his serious gf, no way. His view on love is simple. A male and a female who have feelings for each other treat each other seriously. They must support each other in many ways like in each other’s interest/ hobbies, emotionally, etc… True enuff…
Another, put in lots of effort, but saw the relationship go down the drain.
Another, too slow. Well, the girl somehow had feelings for him too. But he din confess his feelings for her. Another guy came into the picture. Story ends here.
Lovely couples around me, W & M, WQ & V, YC & J, ZY & SZ, A & C, M & S… Envy, envy…
Maybe I’ve yet to forget him… Bloody hell, its been 3 mths! Maybe I’m not strong enuff. Maybe I din try hard enuff. Maybe I still have feelings for him. I really dun know. Maybe the hurt’s too deep, tears dropping again. Argh… Talked too much, think too much, wrote too much… Sad sad, sob sob…
Guess it’ll be another of those cryin-to-zzz nites. Nite everyone!

Guess it’ll be another of those cryin-to-zzz nites. Nite everyone!
Argh!!!
Frustration 1) Broke! So damn f***ing broke! Is there any job out there that pays 20 bucks an hour yet will allow me to work for only a day weekly? Si bei sian! Everything’s so important to me. Trainings on Mon and Wed, classes on Tues n Fri and “family n friends” day on Sat and Sun. How to work? How to get a job? Maybe Taka? Sick n tired of that homely turned posh/ classy, nice colleagues yet sucky management place but “connections” there can somehow allow me to schedule my working hours. Coffebean, Starbucks, Bubble tea outlets near my home? Hey, I patronise these places often enuff so I’ll find it weird to work there. Data entry? Where to find this lobang? Even if can find, forget it cos I dun think I wanna risk my 6/6 eyesight. Argh… Big headache ah…
Frustration 2) Toking about trainings… Dun wanna come training then dun come lah! Come training then tok so much, now say wanna quit. Too many projects, no time for commitment. I also need more time everyday. I also damn busy. If only we had 30 hours a day instead of 24. If this person can find a time-lengthening method/ solution/ miracle, I wanna know how too.
Frustration 3) What is love? “wen shi jian qing wei he wu”? Sigh… Dun think I wanna touch on this. Se-ka-li later I cry to zzz again… Sigh… Skip this topic… Lai next… (Hmmm… sounds like an auntie in NP’s canteen 1)
Frustration 4?) Went to Ange’s place today. Kinda small when compared to older 4-room flats. Think that’s how newer flats are like. My youngest uncle’s place also like that. Furthermore, blocks in the newer estates are very close to each other, not much privacy, I feel. Next time when I get a flat of my own, I will get the older ones. Although 2nd hand (or maybe 3rd/ 4th/ 5th…) they are bigger, airer and I will not have that someone-in-the-opposite-block-is-peeping-at-me feeling. Maybe flats are smaller and blocks are going up to 50-stories high is due to Singapore’s expanding population and limited land?
Limited land lead me to thinking about land reclamation. Something to voice out here. But before I do that I wanna say this. If this para is offending to any authorities somehow in someway, dun sue diaryland.com cos I dun think they screen any diary entries. And dun come looking for me cos as a citizen of Singapore, I have a freedom of speech, period. K, back to what I wanted to say. I know land reclamation is essential to the limited land space here, but hey, what’s going to happen to the kelongs n coral reefs? Authorities, pls spare a thought. Reclaim and reclaim, but no more kelongs n coral reefs, sad rite? Kelongs disappearing while our coastlines are expanding, can we at least preserve some of them? Jus like how the look of the pre-war houses in Chinatown is preserved nowadays. Take a closer look at Bugis Junction too. Coral reefs are dying cos it seems that the sea’s kinda getting cloudy and sunlight can’t reach them. Maybe my Chinese name has something to do wif corals, so I feel for these creatures.
Kk… End of today’s entry. Less frustrated now. Time to “play chess with grandpa zhou”

A Dedication To...
Dedicated to my dearest friends… (close/ good/ best, best-er, best-est/ normal/ ordinary)…
Sigh, it’s another of those “Sleepless In Singapore” nite… Same old story, rather write somethg then to toss n turn. While staring into space trying to zzz jus now, somethg pop into my mind. A (good) friend told me after my recent breakup (or maybe not cos it’s been 3 mths) that even w/out a boyfriend, life still goes on cos I still have friends. Well, I’ve known this when I started to have brains but it’s true n he reminded me of that.
FRIENDS r there, 24/7, showering u wif love, concern, care, attention, blah, blah, blah…
My JIE MEIs… Been together since secondary sch, still together now, ne. One happily and blissfully “unavailable”. Remaining 4 of us, which includes me, are happy and carefree while waiting for our Prince Charming to come by. We’ve been through numerous quarrels n arguments. Luckily, we are all easy-going souls. Bygones r bygones, but sometimes “that” yesteryear quarrel becomes a teasing topic today. Really glad to know u gals! Love Ya!
MCSS 4A… My dearest jie meis are included in this lot too. Some MIA, dunno go where liao. Guess it’s NS who took my class’s boys away. Hehe… The occasionally, twice a year, gatherings somehow helped us keep in contact. Can say we’ve been thru thick n thin, lots of fun and teasing. Will remember the almost daily afternoon bowling sessions, (By the way, we still haven decided on whether he/she is an auntie or uncle) outings/ gatherings at East Coast, Sentosa n Boat Quay, Shakespeare’s Twist, etc… Can’t forget common enemy “kong que/ peacock”, scrapping of hardened (n only God knows how many years they’ve been left there) chewing gum “yada”, etc… Must keep in touch k?
NGEE ANN POLY Softball 2000-2002… Fun grp. Lots of teases, jokes and laughs, which some are somehow directed at me, eg. “steal base”. I’m the “strikeout queen” who manage to get a hit in the last IVP game of my poly life, but din get to first base unfortunately cos I’ve got short legs. Hehe… Really hard to say what binds us together, maybe it’s the KAP dinners or the working formula of teasing and jokes or the tough trainings or maybe we are jus the fun-loving lot…
TAKA Ex-colleagues (Group 1)… Let me begin wif a song. “Takashimaya, We can Do! We Can, We Can Doooooo! We Can, We Can Dooooo! Takashimaya, We Can Do!” How can I forget these 2 groups of pple. Ping, “Super Darlin”, Val, Jester, Francis, Andre, Joey, Tony, Choy Yeen, Juraimi, Priscilla, my Bros, the list goes on for a while. Suppers at BK and Starbucks helped, I guess. But only for a while cos not many are in constant contact now. Sigh… Kanashii…
TAKA Ex-colleagues (Group 2)… “xiao di, xiao meis” and the CHT (u pple gave tis name to yrself) I’ve worked wif during my “comeback” to Taka. Sanrio fair was fun cos I’ve got Hello Kitties for company. Toking to some of the “xiao di, xiao meis” made me feel immature cos sometimes thy sound too mature for their age. CHT, thanks for the “Tiger times”, hehe… Too bad u guys in NS now so a bit hard to keep in contact, n aso esp hard for that someone cos we dun even tok after that cruise. Hope we all can keep in contact for as long as possible…
My 5 major groups of friends…
Other friends include poly pple and other acquaintances… U know who u are…
Having written so much, it’s time for bedtime!
Nitezzz… Log Off… Lights Off…
Sigh, it’s another of those “Sleepless In Singapore” nite… Same old story, rather write somethg then to toss n turn. While staring into space trying to zzz jus now, somethg pop into my mind. A (good) friend told me after my recent breakup (or maybe not cos it’s been 3 mths) that even w/out a boyfriend, life still goes on cos I still have friends. Well, I’ve known this when I started to have brains but it’s true n he reminded me of that.
FRIENDS r there, 24/7, showering u wif love, concern, care, attention, blah, blah, blah…
My JIE MEIs… Been together since secondary sch, still together now, ne. One happily and blissfully “unavailable”. Remaining 4 of us, which includes me, are happy and carefree while waiting for our Prince Charming to come by. We’ve been through numerous quarrels n arguments. Luckily, we are all easy-going souls. Bygones r bygones, but sometimes “that” yesteryear quarrel becomes a teasing topic today. Really glad to know u gals! Love Ya!
MCSS 4A… My dearest jie meis are included in this lot too. Some MIA, dunno go where liao. Guess it’s NS who took my class’s boys away. Hehe… The occasionally, twice a year, gatherings somehow helped us keep in contact. Can say we’ve been thru thick n thin, lots of fun and teasing. Will remember the almost daily afternoon bowling sessions, (By the way, we still haven decided on whether he/she is an auntie or uncle) outings/ gatherings at East Coast, Sentosa n Boat Quay, Shakespeare’s Twist, etc… Can’t forget common enemy “kong que/ peacock”, scrapping of hardened (n only God knows how many years they’ve been left there) chewing gum “yada”, etc… Must keep in touch k?
NGEE ANN POLY Softball 2000-2002… Fun grp. Lots of teases, jokes and laughs, which some are somehow directed at me, eg. “steal base”. I’m the “strikeout queen” who manage to get a hit in the last IVP game of my poly life, but din get to first base unfortunately cos I’ve got short legs. Hehe… Really hard to say what binds us together, maybe it’s the KAP dinners or the working formula of teasing and jokes or the tough trainings or maybe we are jus the fun-loving lot…
TAKA Ex-colleagues (Group 1)… Let me begin wif a song. “Takashimaya, We can Do! We Can, We Can Doooooo! We Can, We Can Dooooo! Takashimaya, We Can Do!” How can I forget these 2 groups of pple. Ping, “Super Darlin”, Val, Jester, Francis, Andre, Joey, Tony, Choy Yeen, Juraimi, Priscilla, my Bros, the list goes on for a while. Suppers at BK and Starbucks helped, I guess. But only for a while cos not many are in constant contact now. Sigh… Kanashii…
TAKA Ex-colleagues (Group 2)… “xiao di, xiao meis” and the CHT (u pple gave tis name to yrself) I’ve worked wif during my “comeback” to Taka. Sanrio fair was fun cos I’ve got Hello Kitties for company. Toking to some of the “xiao di, xiao meis” made me feel immature cos sometimes thy sound too mature for their age.

First Proper Entry
Title says it all... Can't get to dreamland anyway so i figured out typing smthg out here tts worth reading wld be better thn wasting my time tossing n turning on my bed. So since i can't get to sleep, i hope toking abt dreams will bring me to "play chess with grandpa zhou".
So, wht are dreams? Experts (can't be bothered to kn n quote names) say lots of stuff, which i can't be bothered too. But i believe thy are wht we "c" while sleeping and thy represent our subconcious minds and sometimes our innermost thoughts which we nvr realise.
"Dreams" are our Subconcious
"Dreams" are our Targets
"Dreams" are our Hopes
"Dreams" are our Goals
If Targets, Hopes & Goals can come true so can "Dreams"!
Whn dreams (as in "dreams" while we are sleeping) come true, tt's wht i thk its called deja vu. Freaking eh? Kinda had tis thingy before.
As i'm typing through, i thk i'm turning "learned stuff" into crap. Yes! I'm sleeply, tired, brain dead...
"Chess" Time!!!

Test Test
First try at html... I'm an idiot at tis... Maybe shld get tt "dummies" book... hehe...
I'm back... Aft a week...
Muahahahahaha... Life with broadband has never been better... Muahahahahhahaha... Fast and shiok!!!
It's been more than a week since I last updated. Been kinda busy and tired lately.
This was how the rest of last week was spent. Trainings on Wed, Thurs and Fri. Sat was the first IVP game. Sun was "Kallang" day. The guys' and gals' team played against NTU. Gals won while guys threw away a 7 run lead. Really dunno wht happen aso. I was kinda shocked. Anyway, that game is over. Shld only look back on it to learn abt the mistakes commited and learn from it and not brood abt it anymore. Let's look forward to the next match against NUS!!!
Training as usual on Monday but not many turned up. Think its cos Ming Chen was at chalet. Hehe... Janice, me, Bo Shen, Sebastian and Kah Hong went over to his chalet aft training. Wanted to play bowling but the alley was closing when we got there. Ended up watching them play pool.
Since ystday was the last nite, Tuesday was "check out" day. Went to bowl and played pool. Had my first game of pool in my life. But my basics still not that good. Gotta "pay more school fees".
There was training today but I din really train. Din feel too good, headache. Jeffery(SP's guy's team pitcher) came down to pitch for the guys to bat. Think it was kinda good experience for the guys to bat his ball cos its kinda fast. Went to the UEFA website just now, seems that the soccer match later are postphoned "due to repect" to the alleged terrorist attack at the New York World Trade Centre and the Pentagon. Sian, no baseball games according to ESPN website also... Ntg to watch on telly liao... Dunno wht's the update on the attack yet. Might go chk on some websites later...
Amok's down with pox . Just one mth before enlistment. Haha... Pity him a bit cos he keeps saying he looks like a freak. Hehe... Now I've got no one to watch A.I with... Supposed to watch with him, then the bad news came. Guess have to wait till his pox is over.
