Im a little scared, why??? Because i have to start studying again...doesn't sound like that big a deal. It's like starting from scratch, i have to prepare for the course im going to take in poly. And according to polytechnic, an A1 in E maths is a lousy math grade. So here i am now. Attempting to learn some new things, on my own. It's a fairly new experience. Back in school, i used to have wonderful teachers like Miss Goh to ask for help. Or my tutor. Now its just myself and that lame interactive cd rom they gave me. This form of studying, interactive CD Roms, online tests to complete. It's a different way of studying. And i am really not used to it. It's a good thing the topics im learning are not excessively difficult. Rather simple, in actual fact.
My brother slept in the bathroom today, only god knows how he did that....and my mother..well, i just learned that she doesnt know how to use Win Xp. God that freaks me out. And she's always pronounce the word Myanmar, "myamar". An hour ago, i found out why.{current time 11pm} That's how she spells it too.
My bigger gerbil has been in a destructive mood of late....been nibbling its water bottle. Oh, i've decided to stop keeping betta, all together. I find that its not really worth the time and money. And the experience is not nearly as fulfilling as keeping rodents. So i guess i'll be stopping that. Hope to get mice soon though!
{12.47am}
OK, ive just helped maureen change her blog skin, add a tag board and edit the links and stuff. Used her friendster photo for her blog. Oh my, my eyes are weary~~!!! will be meetin jiefang and hew yenn later in the afternoon. We're going to springfield. They need to have a closer look at the springfield band room.
Good luck to all my friends taking the chinese Os, im sure u will all do better than me. If you dont....that means u fail....

Went to sentosa today. It was fun, we started off slow, having to wait for everyone to come. And when we finally entered the island...it was close to noon. We were supposed to meet at 10. First activity was KAYAKING!! wooohhoooo. The last time i did that was in obs. This outing to sentosa, was really quite different from the last one. I don;t wish to elaborate because i'm just sooo soo tired right now. maybe some other time when i have clarity of thought. The bed beckons, and i can barely resist its call. I'm tan once more! Well, i was tan before, but im darker now. Trying to work on the tall dark and handsome thingy. But i doubt it's working out very well. At least i know that i'm a third of the way there. Im dark! handsome...plastic surgery....tall..hmmm, not much i can do abt that. Maybe where shoes with THICK soles. aarghh...i'm just babbling. Good night.

I went out alone AGAIN! hahaha
This time, i went to watch 50 first dates on my own. My father popped a pleasant surprise by giving me two movie vouchers for ANY movie at cathay. So i went down to cineleisure. Didnt know who i could call along on such short notice. The only people whose names sprang to my mind instantly were almost definitely busy. Left with no other alternative. I went on my own. Was a pretty awkward experience for me, kinda like fish outta water. I dont think anyone ever goes for movies alone...let alone a romantic comedy. wahahaha, i swear i was the only one there not in a group or with a significan other. Not that it really matters much, because i enjoyed the show...particularly rob schneider's boob licking antics....man thats crazy shit...
After the movie...i loitered at the specialist center. Went to look at the company where i had my speech and drama lessons as a child. They're still alive and kicking. hahahahaa. Long moments of reminiscence.
Went back home. walked from kembagan mrt....boy was it hard....ive never ever felt so stiff in my life....i had to literally drag my legs step by step.
Met the springfielders at tamp to go for the MJC concert.....a thought crossed my mind several times that night. why wasn't i with the ping yians....ill ponder on that sometime. Concert was errr...not very nice...the ensembles were gd entertainment. But the standard of the band was well not nearly as good as TKGS, its a young band i guess. Theres still lots to work on. After the concert, went to this coffee shop...stuffed myself with starchy foods. BAD DIET!!!!!! felt like a walking balloon after that....and i burped like there was no tomorrow too.
Attitude...ive been told ive gotta a bad attitude by....let see...*counting*
oops...every single one of my teachers. But they were never really specific about it, you see, i take it as a bad attitude towards them. I understand....that my laziness towards homework projected a bad image for myself. But as a prefect...a bad attitude..hell! i swear i gave every single duty, big or small my 110%. Im guessing its because of my youthful arrogance, teachers don't like it when they're not in control i guess. Particular malek and rukmani...i always treated them as equals, never gave them the respect due to people in their positions. hahahaha! Im a self motivated egoistic bastard, ive not learnt what drives me. I will find out, soon i should think. It can only be matter of time.
The one thing i've believed in all the time is "THINGS HAPPEN TO ME BECAUSE I MADE IT THAT WAY" my destiny is my choice.
Oh, this and "fish are friends not food" hahahaha
Some may wonder why i shout and scream so often during sports matches or similar things. Well........its something called PASSION you ignorant fools. Even a blind man would know that im a VERY VOCAL PERSON....expect lots of noise from me....and im brutally honest about many things...no sense in beating around the bush is there? does that make me insensitve???? something else for me to think about.

I'm sleepy..very, very, very sleepy. Have not been sleeping well the past few days, everytime i lie on bed, my mind starts to venture into places id normally not enter while the sun is up. So my mind is actually very occupied at a time when i should be letting it rest. I find myself falling asleep only after...say 2 long hours of thought. Its getting to be quite a hindrance.
Went for band on saturday morning, without the sec4s around...things seemed to be a little...err off beat. Band practice did not seem to have its usual pulse and rhythm. Anyway, got a chance to play the cornet again. HAHAA, been a bloody long time since i've done that...and boy to my muscles hurt. After band, went with felix and a bunch of the springfield girls to visit Suhaila. They're an odd lot. When we got there, everyone just sat down on the floor by the television...and an awkward silence ensued. It was up to Punat and i to clown about la...as usual....
We left ard maybe 8???? ok, so i go home, feeling a little weary. Rough night, long day and all you see. While watching the news...YES I WATCH THE NEWS! was watching the report on the bollywood thingy! hahahaa those indian women are truly stunning. I
received a call from Sheryl, asking if i wanted to go down to tampines NOW to watch SHREK @. hahaha that was around 10pm. Wasn't going to miss a chance like that. The movie was really funny. hahaha, lame storyline. But it had clever witty gags, meant for adults as well. Unfortunately...most of the stupid people watching couldnt understand the jokes. I found that quite a pity...because that prevented me fromn laughing out loud. I did NOT want to look like a complete nutcase.
After the movie...it's like 2 in the morning. I take a cab home with Eugene and Daniel. Eugene was having this headache...yet he wanted to stay up with them to play pool...silly kid...... Anyhow,its a 2am on a sunday morning, in 6 hours time i was going to have my first field match in 4 months. By rights, i should have been trying to get a good rest. But...as usual, i couldnt la...so i wake up next morning feeling sucky...
Now on to the match....hahahahahahaaaa!!!!! Boy oh BOY did it suck. Well the scoreline sucked at least. I had fun in spite of being on the receiving end of a 11-2 drubbing....wahahahahaha! im not the least bit embarrassed abt it, because i had a good work out! I came out of the match, with no small amount of bruises and muscles strains, and scratches on my right thigh from one of the opponents bloody studs.
After the match, we went down to parkway for lunch at banquet. Then we did something i'd been waiting to do for quite some time. We went for a dip in the pool at Ummar's condo!!! wooohooo!!!! after a gruelling match, on a blazing hot sunday morning. A cool dip in the pool was the perfect with to relieve pain and refresh!
Now, its a monday morning, and im still having major problems with the font for the band shirt. firstly! the logo, i cant change the font, no matter how i position it, the computer generated font, mixed with kai yee's design just dont go together...might need to have him edit the thing manually........secondly, theres the font of the band shirt. i cant find a font which is suitable, one which does not look too eerrrr juvenile?? my art sucks!!! how issit im stuck doing the editing of this thing. Liason with the company is ok by me, but, i have no idea how im going to produce a nice design.
I'm done whinning, or yakking, wadeva you may wish to term it. Oh, recently the bloggin trend within the band has started to spread, you start finding more and more and more and more members creating blogs...see la kenrick! now they wasting time, like you and i, on the internet writing bull shit for the whole world to see. WAHAHA

Recent evens have been rather sad. Something tragic has happened to suhaila, i really hope she's doing fine. She was prepared for this i think. But even then, its still a difficult thing to go through. My heart goes out to her.
Just read ummar's blog, and i realised that his grandmother is taking a risky operation. Old people shouldnt be taking operations. I hope all goes well.
It's been a while since ive prayed...hahaha, well now's as good a time as any.
Dear God, some people i know haven't been having it easy of late. Things all happen for a reason, that i understand. So i pray that you show them all your love and support in this time of need, because i know that you're always there when we need you.
Amen
there, i meant it ok!!!!
Congratulations to Jiefang and Zack for taking on new responsibilities as Ping Yi's new majors. I wish you all the best. Because there's a lot of work to be done. Especially with the attendence. It's now your job to make the band members bond. You want them to be passionate towards the band. So show the same passion in doing your job!
Band shirt is kinda done. Received mixed reactions from people. Daniel says its to juvenile....oh well..i hope he comes up with something thats more sophisticated and mature. hahaha, because my art fail!!!!!!!

*moaning and groaning* bloody lousy day it's been. i woke up at 1 pm....i cant believe i woke up so late. It isn't something i enjoy doing. Makes me feel like such a bum, its not the kind of lifestyle i want, sleeping late and waking up in the afternoon. Besides making me feel lousy. The moment i woke up, i checked the date on my phone and realised that i was supposed to go to SP this morning. Shit! i can't believe i woke up so late. Well, it's not something im gonna accept. Will do something about this. To start with, will no longer sleep at after 3 unless i am doing something seriously fun. Also, i will not wake up later than 10 anymore. Waking up in the afternoon is probably the most uncomfortable experience i've had in a long while. My whole sleeping pattern is screwed up. Guys are playing soccer later, i hope we have a chance to play more than 2 short matches. Playing at the big cage has never really been a success for out squad. Maybe i should go to springfield, they're having band. ohh i don't know...i feel so damn useless today.
Oh, went out with them again. This time to east coast. I had fun again!! cycling and watching them blade. the guys all cycled, while the girls bladed. Sheryl fell into a bush once. hahaha that was funny. Eugene kicked our ball into this huge drain...and he had to go in and take i out himself. Unfortunately Gim Kai and I had to help pull him out....got a little dirty there. After east coast, we walked to parkway to paly at the arcade. Played table hockey again! wahahaha, then watched them play that jurassic park game. I should have joined in man. Ate dinner at parkway then headed home. It was a fun day, although not as fun as that overnight jaunt!
It's gotten me thinking. What constitutes a good and fun outing. Is it the people, the location or the activities? Im beginning to think that its the people....

Went out with sec 4 juniors, errr today, or was it yesterday....hahaha! Went for dinner with them at Marina. Felix ate butter.....like he was eating fresh cream...considering his immense girth, you'd wonder about the wisdom of eating butter of a stick... We then headed down to cineleisure to catch a movie. Intention was to watch Dawn Of the Dead. Not my intention btw...not because i hum la! But it's supposed to be a lame show. Anyway, we reached cineleisure and found out that tickets were all sold out. The next best time was 1.45am!!!!!--Van Helsing! Exactly the show i've been waiting to watch for a while now! And damn it was worth every moment of it. Gripping fast paced action scenes and loud sound effects kept our eyes glued to the screen. Well with the exception of charity of course...i have no idea how she fell asleep during the movie...its not like a boring documentary on the daily activities of a sloth....Before we the movie started. I did another thing i''d been waiting long to do! play table hockey!!!! wahaha, i used to play this with my old sec school pals. hahaa, the game was so fun, we practically rocked the table, knocking the pucks out, getting bruises on our arms and stuff. Going out with them is really fun, although my right arm is incredibly sore right now. They're just so whacky and fresh! Looking forward to doing this again! We finally reached home at around 5. But after such a wonderful outing....couldnt honestly expect to fall asleep so soon. Man, i was just recovering from the excitement. And the heat......ran all the way home. After my bath i started pespiring again... Eventually i fell asleep at 630......woke up at 1045...that tells about the amount of sleeping time i had. Had ice cream for lunch today too! hahahaa makes no sense does it. Well the buffet was very filling although the meat was a little on the tough side. Kept my stomach from complaining till dinner time. Which reminds me......i've not fed the rodents!!!

i actually wrote this long essay on my feelings about love for today's entry. But blogger has some error. And i lost the whole thing. I took quite a while to complete it. Really irks me when this happens. Well regarding Kenrick's unfortunate fix, i can only say that it is either that special thing everyone looks for, or its a time bomb waiting to explode. There is no proper way of approaching this, because everyone reacts differently i think. Maybe you should confide in people*hint hint* wahaha, then we can form a WITs team to find out the best way to tackle the problem!!
Just watched American Idol...bye bye jasmine. I think you're adorable but. You just don't make the cut.
Will be going to SP tomorrow, enrolment day! One big step for my fare card, and an even bigger step for my future.
Today was like any other day. I woke up at ten....It rained by the way! never thought i'd be delighted to see rain. Waited for the rain to cease. Cycled around the Kembangan area. Saw Isbandi at that old condominium. After that, i went home for lunch. After lunch. The sun was shinning brightly, so i cycled to the beach again!
So now im sitting here at the computer trying to entertain myself. Have a few thoughts about friendship. But i'll save those for another time, when my mind is clearer.

I went to the beach this afternoon, while cycling my thoughts drifted to the topic of love. That bitter sweet feeling which has been distracting kenrick so often recently.
After attacking the subject at several angles. I find that i am no closer to a conclusion about it than i was when i first started. But i have come to realise a few things about my views towards this nasty entity...firstly, people tend to say.."love is blind". Well in all honestly, love isn't blind. Sex is blind. God gave you a brain and genitalia. Unfortunately for us, when our genitals start doing work, our brain has a limited capacity for logical thought. Teenage boys with raging hormones i say. There is no cure for hurt brought about by this strong emotion. Because love is about giving. Not taking.
I also think that love has to start from an infatuation. The term love at first sight does not exist. "i knew i loved her from the moment my eyes lay upon her" familiar?? i think thats just another way of saying...."damn, id like to fuck her" Cynical? maybe. But realistic. You dont just love a person because your heart beats faster when he/shes is around. If love was like that..you'd die ten years after marriage...because of an irregular heart beat.
Love that isnt reciprocated, esp when the other party isnt aware that of it. Well thats one of the most difficult things that one could ever stumble upon. It's either that special thing you've been waiting so long for. Or it's a time bomb waiting to explode. There is no sure way of handling such a situation, because everyone reacts differently.
But it helps to have someone to confide in.*hint hint*
Theres a lot more on my mind, but i dont wanna go further la.
hahaa,ok im done bull shitting. Anyone willing to watch Troy and Van Helsing??? i don't really feel like waiting for the VCD to come out.

I've finally had that hair cut people have been urging me to go for. Hahahaa, have to admit, i feel a lot better now than when i had longer hair. Especially since the past few days have really been very hot. The weather has been down right unreasonable of late. Everyday is filled with unrelenting waves of heat....even the normally cooler nights have shown no mercy.
Ive finally gone down to the Standard Chartered bank at marine parade to pay my poly fees. New life begins real soon. On the way there, i met Janice and Norman. Norman went with her to her work place. To spend time with her. I don't really understand what that is about. But it's nothing i'm interested in anyway. Grace got me a free drink at star bucks and gave me many many many chops for my perks card. WAHAA! just a few more and i complete the thing.
Of late, i've been wondering out on my own. I go places on my own and do things on my own. I'm not talking about independence. But just being alone. I'm not whinning about being lonely but rather, i think its a good thing. For me at least....I find that on my own. There's more freedom of choice. Going out as a group...well it has its restrictions. One has to think about how the others feel about doing this thing or that thing. On my own, i can just loiter anywhere i wish. I find that its easy to satisfy myself by just wondering around shopping malls or sitting at the beach doing nothing at all. Whereas going out with a friend or friends has so many more restrictions. While it may not be as exciting. It gives me time to reflect on myself and observe the things around me. Being alone can be quite a good thing. From another's perspective, i may be viewed as a loner. But i know thats not the case.

But i know thats not the case.

Tag board is still down. That's a real shame.
I went off road cycling today. What a new experience it was. Firstly, there were certain things which i learnt today. Such as the proper gears for the proper terrain and such. The weather was incredibly hot, and scorching sun really gave my skin a good burning. I cycled with jonathan to this are under the benjamin shears bridge. Was quite an eye opener. I don't really know how to describe the experience just yet, because it was the first time i'd done anything like it. Anyhow, it was definitely a gruelling ride. But it was fun nonetheless.
I shall be posting some pics of my little expedition this afternoon.
After the few hours under the sun, i came home feeling very shagged. Just as i was about to take a nap. Jekkie called asking me to go out with him and Rayner. Seeing nothing else better to do. I agreed. So went to down to play pool with them at parkway. Ummar pointed out something interesting tonight. He said that going out together was starting to become boring. Which i have to admit is..really quite true. We've simply just run out of places to go. Everytime we go out, its either pool at Parkway or Katong. Once in a while bedok.. Or its slacking at a Starbucks outlet. Truth to tell, it is getting very dull. Which is quite a pity, because we're all very free people. hahahaha! What we need is a new place to go to. Something new to do, does anyone have any interesting suggestions??
My poly cheque i still beside my bed, and the enrolment day is only a matter of days away. Shall have to bring the cheque to standard chartered at marine parade within the next two days. No sense in procrastinating. It's really quite a lot of money.
Still trying to guess who kenrick likes....hahahaa

Damn, the tag-boards are't working due to some technical problems with the server, apparently they've lost some data thru human error as well. Oh well, just have to wait.
Anyway, I went to the NAFA band concert last night. I really can't remember the last time i had so much fun. Ate dinner at the bugis junction food court...i don't think i want to eat there again. The food wasn't to my liking. So the concert was good, many interesting songs that i'd not heard before. And there was the american trombonist. My first time seeing a trombone played so well live. Boy oh boy was it an eye opener. While he was talented and all...I cant say i really liked his shirt...damned ugly thing he was wearing last night.
i think the NAFA percussionists also put up a short, and i must say, VERY creative sketch. After the concert, we went to eat at Macdonald's. Felix BLANJA NUGGETS. Wahahaha! Food always taste better when you're not the one paying for it. Went home by mrt, and we made a lot of noise la..this seems to happen with every group of friends i go out with. Only this time, nobody said" Don't throw bedok south's name...ssshhh" Band is starting soon, i think next week. That's definitely a good thing. I've really missed it.
Oh ya, kenrick confirmed my suspicions about this mystery belle he keeps missing and ithinking about.
One day i shall discover her identity. I don't know what is worse. Loving with the knowledge that the is not mutual. Or loving with the knowledge that the feelings CANNOT be reciprocated.
I will be pruning my bush soon....err i mean cutting my hair. Sheryl, Lisa, Suhaila and Farzana were calling me george....As in George W. "im a moron" Bush.... So i will get a hair cut. Besides...my mother says i look like a girl.. How issit Ummar gets to keep that mock of black stuff on his head which he calls hair...it looks like something that came from the outback. While i have to prune the bush...

ARRGHH, i just want to scream!!! Was supposed to play soccer at ummar's place at 5.30 this afternoon. According to Ameen at least. Anyhow, as per normal, i was the first to reach the venue. Only to discover that there wasn't a single team member there. Feeling disgruntled, i plopped my heavy arse on to the void deck bench and began the long waiting game. After a few minutes, my irritance started to grow gradually. I called Ameen and he say he'd be late, because of some problem. Turns out he was sick and his parents didn't allow him out. Damn that crap i say! if he was feeling sick, he shouldnt have spread the message telling people to come at 5.30. He reassured me that people would come. I first call ummar to come down. Apparently, that idiot Ameen never told Ummar to come down at 5.30....
Then i called ashraf who said he was on his way. And as usual, that slimmy little twerp comes late beyond measure without and apology. He seems to enjoy coming late or totally not coming at all without any prior notice or an apology. It really turns me off. So i let loose my fury, and i start scolding him. He keeps quiet for the most part. But has the cheek to ask where everyone else was after he had come an hour late. Than we learn that Kai Wen, Joseph and Adrian will come late as well. They told Ameen, but again..Ameen did not have the decency to inform me that everyone would go late. Now im just stark raving mad. And i decide to go home. Because i was supposed to go to seletar country club for dinner.
Finally, i learn that all this 5.30 business is all Sameer's idea. But the monkey never turned up at all. It's one thing to change plans from the norm, but its a totally different thing to disrupt the normal routine for personal reasons and then not show up at all.
Through this whole damned incident. Id like to stress the importance of RESPECT, RESPONSIBILTY and CONSIDERATION. Though i am no angel. At least i have the decency to come at a time stated, and even if i find myself runnig late. I inform the organiser. THAT IS RESPONSIBILTY! If you're gonna make people wait, at least have the bloody decency to let them know and apologise at the same time. Be considerate for pete's sake..not everyone can accomodate to your timing. That's responsibility on the members' part
Now the organiser. GOD DAMN IT~! if you're going to organise something. Make sure your are there at the time you tell people to be there. Bloody hell, and make sure you actually show up! It's very irresponsible on the organiser's part when he doesnt inform everyone or keep people updated on plans. DO NOT ASSUME OR THINK! thats just down right annoying, it shows that you are taking your responsibilities for granted and i can't stand that. Especially if you intend to disrupt plans for your own personal reasons. Show some damned RESPECT Sameer. Is it so hard to just inform people of your decision yourself. You just had to use Ameen as your pawn in order to get things done. The guy respects you and does as you wish. But you tarnished his reliable reputation by doing what you did today. Its utterly shameful for someone of your intellect. The organiser is responsible for everyone turning up on time and such. Once you send those messages informing people of the details. YOU take on the responsibility of the whole thing! PLEASE TRY AND GET THAT INTO YOUR THICK SKULLS U WORTHLESS LOT!
ARE RESPONSIBLE PEOPLE SO DIFFICULT TO FIND??? This incident may not seem that big a deal, but from my point of view it is. Some people just take things for granted. Coming late is bad attitude in any situation, shows your take on the importance of the event. If u honestly think that its not that important, would u rather not be playing soccer? Sure you might say that you could find other people to play with. But as a team member, you are being just so self centered and conceited its DISGUSTING.
Ok, ive raved enough already. I don't think the relevant people will ever read this blog. But i just needed a medium, be it something or someone to express how i felt.

Well, it's been a nasty day. Firstly, i cycled down to bedok to get wire mesh for the gerbil tank. I fell off the bike....because the chain came off the gears in mid pedal. I shifted my weight to my right leg, meeting no resistance from the pedal, i found myself over-balanced and down on the floor. If that isn't enough..on the way home, my handle bars knocked this old coot who wasn't watching...damned ass made threw me off balance...once again.. and i knock my nuts against the back of my seat. Real bad luck....
I read kenrick's blog entry, hell...the only thing in my mind was,"imagine that.....". Second time this week ive learnt that there's always more than meets the eye.
After last night's american idol, i finally learnt the proper name for one of the genres of music which i like so much. Big band. I like Jazz and Swing as well, they're all pretty similar in some ways if you ask me. I'm not quite sure what the difference is, but i am going to find out.
Another thursday yet again without band practice is kinda odd to get by, but what the hell. Life goes on.

Woke up this morning realising that my tubifex worms had all died...shit so smelly, which means fish had totally no food left. Other than the damned pellet food. Which really doesn't taste very nice i should think. Then i also realised that hamster bedding was running low. Shit, this has been a bad month, financially at least. Without my allowance, and my salary having been spent on the damned bicycle. I find myself once again piss broke with no way to turn things around whatsoever.
Today he came and they spoke. I discovered it all by pure chance. They were sitting at the park bench as whispy white clouds rolled by while the sun sank below the horizon filling the sky with soothing hues of purple and blue. From the looks of things, they have settled the matter in as mature a manner as they possibly could. We couldnt have hoped for a better result than this. What lies ahead...well we will just have to wait and see. It's been a wonderful last three days for me at least. Plenty of twist and turns to the plot.
My friend jonathan just realised what ive been going thru the past 4 years in secondary school. Wahahaha....i don't want to sound like a jerk but...most girls in ping yi are just too simple minded. I don't think i could hold a proper conversation with them for more than an hour or so. Just wonder what i have been missing because of this. Oh well, no regrets, being simple doesn't make them bad people.

Argh, screw it, there will be a confrontation anyway. Now all that is left is to sit back and wait. I sincerely hope this doesn't affect innocent parties. Which means, more spying to do... Slept for most of today, didnt have anything to do. So what do you do in that position? Sleep of course...it isnt something i would normally condone. But there simply just wasnt anything to do at all.
I wish i had money right now..really in need of it. I want to get a trio of gerbils---$18! Bedding which will cost $26 and lastly a trio of mottled blues...which will cost roughly 15 dollars....what am i going to do??? VERY BAD FINANCIAL SITUATION~ is there any charitable organisation for teens im my position??
Just for the record. i have considered getting a job, but no one would employ me for less than a month...i only need to work till band starts again.

Once again, i am embroiled in yet another messy little situation with potential to turn ugly. I seem to have a knack for getting into these places. But boy am i enjoying this, its like watching a daytime soap opera. Difference being, here everything i do plays a part in the outcome of it all. Woke up at 10 this morning haveing slept for barely 6 hours...bcos i spent the whole of last nice discussing about the affair. i am supposed to help my aunty carry a computer to her apartment. But i don't know what time she's coming. Probably going to the robinson's sale at the expo as well.

Did not get to play much today, didn't cycle in the end either. Well, it doesn't really matter because I'm seriously too physically worn out to do much of anything right now. Muscles require a short break, so I'm pretty sure I will not be joining the lads for soccer tomorrow. Gave Sameer his presents from the girls today, he said he was touched. And that he recognized somebody's handwriting....Recently discovered that Ummar is going to Sp as well. Which is good news, this means a huge majority of my soccer kakis are gonna be studying with me in the same school. Makes settling down in a totally new environment that much easier.
spent the whole of yesterday lazying around. I actually woke up at ten, my mother said i sleep late and wake up late....damn it, i only sleep at 230 everyday, waking up at ten is definitely not late...Saturdays are actually very dull with band currently on hold. Went cycling with jonathan at east coast. I had no idea that i could cycle to changi village thru east coast park. Yesterday's cycling adventure was a real revelation, ive finally found some new and surprisingly scenic locations to cycle to. Considering the fact that this is singapore and our beaches are all fake....Reached home at 1930, initially intended to buy a box of bloodworms and reach home BY seven. But we got carried away, and didnt have time to go get my worms. Looks like the fish are gonna starve for yet another day. Ate a quiet dinner at home, then went to visit my grandmother. My aunty baked these lovely cupcakes, and i ate 5 of them.....having stuffed myself. Went to watch the chelsea match. Basket, what a joy it was to see them score so many goals. Lampard, you are my new favourite player. Second only to Paul Scholes. Should be going cycling again today, this time im bringing my digicam, hope to have some nice pictures to post here. Then i should be playing soccer this evening as well. But for now, lets see if i succeed in my attempt to skip church~
