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,

Stuck in DMAS authoring lab

Wow, MIA for more thn a week… Well, wht was I busy with? Guess most of you out thr know wht happened. My life for the past 2 weeks or so was terrible! Start out my day in sch or at home doin my project, thn after doin for more thn half a day, I sleep. Wake up, project again… Damn no life…

So, guessing y I sort of like kinda ‘eng’ now rite? I’m actually stuck in the DMAS authoring lab rite now… Since 11.30am ystday! Yes, that makes it 18 hrs! Was finishing up the last part of authoring, muxing the layout, QC and chking for mistakes, changing mistakes and muxing again. Well, went on for like so many freaking hrs and now I’m copying the layout over the server to the machine room which has the DVD burner. While the muxing was taking place just now, I did my paperwork and managed to finish only just now. Cos nothing to do now, so trying to update this lor… Sigh… Sianzzz…

Haven’t slept the whole nite, gog home soon to get some beauty sleep…

Man U lost on Thursday morning, sianzzz…

Melvin flew off to Australia, courtesy of the army, today morning. Well, he’s thr for training lor, not fun…

Hope Amok can successfully book out this wkend…

Kk, gotta go chk the flooding mailbox liao… Thn go home, sleep and come for class at 2 later...

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?

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.
