good evening

Its the hols and there isnt reali much to blog about. Daily routines of waking up at 1pm, sleeping at 4am, excessive snacking and the extra long workouts in the gym to counter the insane amounts of junk food i consume.

HOWEVER =), the bumming around is great after a 'hard' and 'long' semester. And i'm finally re doing my junkyard(room) which is an absolute mess. It has been the storage of the family for a long time so now i'm gonna get it my way!

Ohh and Man Utd finally redeemed themselves by beating Sporting Lisbon 2-1 last night. Sporting Lisbon is a Portugese club for all you ladies out there, and gentlemen who really shouldconsider changing sports =).

Attractive? No? haha you be the judge

I was just thinking about my National Service duties in July 2009. Its really really depressing to think that i'll be spending two years of my life in a country i don't even know, let alone like. Time has flown by so quickly. I used to remember when i was 13, that NS is still so far away. Scary part is, i was meant to be in this year.

It's just really depressing and has completely fucked my mood up tonight.

=)

~ I've been awake for a while now,
You've got me feelin like a child now ,
Cause every time I see your bubbly face,
I get the tinglies in a silly place

It starts in my toes,
and I crinkle my nose,
Where ever it goes I always know,
That you make me smile please stay for a while now,
Just take your time,
Where ever you go~

Tears of the Sun

Having pointless days doing nothing is quite the norm during the hols rite?rite??? haha. Well that was the case today. Watched tv, slept, watched more tv came online and did everything i could which did not require the use of my FRAGILE brain.

So after dinner, i turned the tele on again just to channel surf. Came across a movie which had just started, Tears of the Sun. Sounded good enough so i decided to watch it and with Bruce Willis as the main dude was an added advantage.

Only when i sat through the show did i realise that i get quite emotional during such movies. It was about the struggle of many African countries against rebel forces; in this case Nigeria. I doubt it was a true story but heck, its as real as it can get.

It depicted what rebels do to villages, the village people and so on. It was horrifying, it really is. They would tie men up and burn them alive, cut the breasts of mothers so they could never feed their young and stuff.

Only at the end of the movie it hit me. The joy of surviving to them means alot more than the struggle of everyday life. And this movie is far from fiction, it happens everyday. In Sudan, Sierra Leone just to name a few

.

I urge you all to watch it =)

sigh

As if the week was not bad enough, with England losing and not qualifying for the Euro Championships, the squirmish at the field on friday which is unresolved (and he is gonna get decapitated), now Man Utd lose.

And they lose to friggin Bolton. The footballing gods aren't really on my side this week it has to be said. Its going to be a very very dull Sunday tomorrow.

Well, i guess i don't have much to say tonight. Glad that most of my friends have completed their exams, and some are just about to finish. This only has one meaning. Fun, more fun, FUN FUN FUN. Can't imagine going out every damn day. Plus my closest friends are coming back from their respective countries! =))

So the holidays have only just begun ...

Ohh and for those of you 'strong men' or those who think you are really brave, go to this site:
http://www.scheurijzer.nl/flitspaal.htm. I'll respect anyone who can look at the whole page.
BUT I WARN U ITS REALLY REALLY GRUESOME

ENGLAND SADCASE

Its a day of mourning. England did not qualify for the EURO CHAMPIONSHIPS!!!. They are as big of a flop as any in the last decade to be honest. I mean, a team of superstars whose average WEEKLY INCOME... I REPEAT WEEKLY INCOME is at least 70,000 pounds. And they can't beat the Croats. Im a huge English fan and this is soo disappointing

To all my female friends, this is equivalent to Brad Pitt, Orlando Bloom, Johnny Depp, Matt Damon & Tom Cruise not making it into the finals of the list of ten hottest guys! Make sense? Thats how bad the situation is. As a result, the manager of England got fired!SACKED. Gone GG

DEJECTION

The other day, a news flash on CNN really got my attention. It was a case of a Saudi woman, i believe 19 years old, who was raped. Now, in many countries, usually the rapists would be jailed or punished accordingly. This part is consistent, however, the woman too was jailed

Apparently, the judge ruled that it was unlawful that she had been 'mingling' with other men. As a result, she was punished for being a victim of rape. Consequently, she received lashes. The amount i believe was ridiculous

This is the 21st century and yet gender equality is far from the norm in many 'developed' and oil rich countries

Its the first day of the holidays! Ohh my, its surreal. It makes me wonder, what the hell have i been doing this year. Has me being a workaholic have something to do with this? =/

Well whenever i go to the gym, there would be this German techno song which plays. I have no idea what in god's name their rants are about. So i decided to get the translated version, and this is part of it

I know a bot,
her name is Anna, Anna is her name
And she can ban you, ban you so hard
She cleans up our channel
I want to tell you that I know a Bot

I know a bot,
her name is Anna, Anna is her name
And she can ban you, ban you so hard
She cleans up our channel
I want to tell you that I know a Bot

That always watches everyone in our channel
And sees that there is no trouble in here
And it can no way be taken over
And remember, I know this Bot

The bot that nobody can kick
And she can kick when she wants
She kicks all the spammers
Yeah, nothing can hit our Bot

Does that even make sense? haha.

Btw, me and Johnny have been rather close lately =O

The fairer wears darker

Ladeedew

Nahh, I was just sorting out my pics and came across this. IM NOT GAY, and even if i was, there aint nothing wrong with that....right??

ALL DONE

Its over. It finally is over. Sorry for not blogging for the past couple days. Been a little worked up in things unrelated to studies, like sleep. My last paper officially ended the exam period for me, and its the start of a beautiful 3 month break.

The world's at my feet now. Ohh my. I just sat in the exam hall smiling at the clock waiting for it to strike 5.05pm. Honestly, thats hell of a weird time to end an exam but what the heck. My teachers must have thought i've gone looney, smiling the whole way through.

And now back to active blogging =)

3 Down

Today, ICBM (International Currencies and Banking Markets, its a subject (=), done. haha. Words cannot describe how relieved i feel right now. 3 exams down, to me, by far, this was the scariest one attempted ever in my life. I'm a little reserved on how i did but oh wells.

1 more to go now, Market Analysis. The final push, the last leg of the track, the sprint to the finish. Wowoweewow. Just a couple more days seperates myself from the ultimate freedom. A break as long as one of my semesters!

But for all you guys who are still in (like myself) or going to start your exams, all the best!

2 down

Market Research and Derivatives have passed. 2 down, 2 to go! COME ON!! =)

GOOD LUCK

Wishing everyone I know who's in the midst of or starting their exams tomorrow the very best of LUCK =)

post50

I really do not have much to blog about seeing that exams are just 2 days away. So i'll bore ya'll with my fun filled day.

Got up at 9 30, went to college and studied for about 2 hours, which was is way too little by any standards. Hit the gym a lilttle afterwards, and got a haircut! A HAIRCUT. My head looks lyk a chocolate balloon..with like some spikes at the top.

Im as round as a football. But oh wells, its for the exams so it'll grow back. Got back..did a couple chapters of icbm, then headed for futsal. Was really last minute, but good fun. Got a small bruise on my eye as a reminder. Though i love the pain when i get hit by a ball..its almost refreshing, a feeling like no other. WHAT NONSENSE =)

Well two days till exams, but its not so much fear anymore. Its jus the anxiety, the anxiety to get it over with so i can enjoy a 3 month friggin break.

Anyways i just uploaded this pic from my dad's new toy, his camera. Of my mum, sis and me during Hari Raya



Ohh and some random pic of my mum and i in the garden. haha

For you =)

This song is just so damn good. Call me gay if you wanna, i don't reali mind. haha

Bryan Adams - Everything I do, I do it for you

Look into my eyes - you will see
What you mean to me
Search your heart - search your soul
And when you find me there you'll search no more

Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for
You know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you

Look into your heart - you will find
There's nothin' there to hide
Take me as I am - take my life
I would give it all - I would sacrifice

Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for I can't help it - there's nothin'
I want more
Ya know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you

There's no love - like your love
And no other - could give more love
There's nowhere - unless you're there
All the time - all the way

Oh - you can't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
I can't help it - there's nothin' I want more
I would fight for you - I'd lie for you
Walk the wire for you - ya I'd die for you

Ya know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you

An Inconvenient Truth

Ohh lord, how has time flown by. It only seems as if we crossed the New Year. And everything in between seems to be a blur. Ive almost completed two semesters this year, and my gosh has it been quick.

Exams next week is a stark reminder of the elation my peers and i felt last year, when we completed our first semester exams. By golly jee, one year ago. My handphone is almost a year old too =), though its age is obvious as its physical attributes show (i've dropped my phone 4 times in the past month i think)

But anyways, as my finals draws near, i can only hope that i do well, make my parents proud and of course, meet my targets. So if there is a chance for a small prayer, i'll be very grateful =)

Anyway i was watching 'An Inconvenient Truth' the other day. It's really really good, and i would recommend it to anyone who has a shred of concern for the environment. It's a basic documentary, with facts, figures and just some graphics to really spook the life outta you.

Apparently, if Greenland were to melt, or half of Greenland and half of the Antartica were to melt, sea levels would rise 40 feet =OO

HELP!

EXAMS ARE IN 8 DAYS!!!
AND I CAN'T STUDY

HELP!!!

The dates are the 12,13, 15 and 19th of November. The 15th would be the make or break day i suppose, the most challenging subject.

The guilt of not studying when exams are near is really, well i can't even describe it. I could study well for one day and the next would be... well would be like today.

Anyone got suggestions? How do i get rid of this 'not wanting to study' mode? =)

The Commentator's Curse

To those who religiously watch football games on the tele would have come across the saying ' The Commentator's Curse'. The match earlier was such an example. It was really really gay. Well played Man Utd, I guess a draw away from home is good enough but we were so close, oh so close =(.

Lady Luck was clearly on those Frenchies side. As soon as the commentator went ' Its fair to say Man Utd have wrapped this game up' something inside me just clicked and said Arsenal would score. And they did. The Commentator's Curse, a phenomenon i really can't explain myself. It just happens

Its like when us Asians say 'Touch wood', when we say something and hope the opposite doesn't happen. But Man Utd really deserved the win. Its gonna be a dull dull Sunday tomorrow. All you Arsenal fans who are proud of a lucky draw at the Emirates do stand up, cause there aren't going to be many of you.


The Champs were robbed tonight
