Irresponsible
That is what my dad is. We try to fill him in on what happened on that day and he scolds us because he miss heard everything. Even my elder bro got fed up with his over concern on the car issue. He is really driving me crazy(my dad). I can't stand him. I really wanna prove him wrong with my 'o's. Got more to type, but I lazy...

Champions league:
Who would have guessed? Last seasons semi finalist to meet in the group stage? AC Milan and PSV, Liverpool vs Chelsea. This years group pits two former ManU players against his old club. Forlan and kleberson. Predictions??? Manu sure to qualify, but will be tricky, Villareal won't be pushovers and nither will Lille, who forced manu to a 1-0 and 1-1 draw in the 2001/2002 season. And portugese champion Benfica would do well also.
PREDICTIONS:
Group A: Surely Bayern and Juventus would qualify. But it won't be easy.
Group B: Arsenal and Ajax, definately. But Arsenal had problems last season, will Thun expose it? Or will the honour go to Prague???
Group C: Barcelona will top the group, the rest has to fight for second. My pick is Bremen.
Group D: I've said it, Manchester United and benfica.
Group E: AC MIlan and PSV Eindhoven.
Group F: Real top. Lyon 2nd. Tough for Lyon.
Group G: Chelsea qualify with... Real Betis. Liverpool won't make it this season.
group H: Inter Milan top, Rangers follow. Last year Porto got lucky as they defeated Chelsea's B team. No such luck this time.

Dnt project almost completed
One more thursday and all is done. I needed to thank Chik wei for helping me although he knows nuts about soldering and fadhil for not scaling me. But I must also thank all who asked what is my project, Sheik, Kartik, Ravi, Qian Han and gang and mr Zaini. Every explaination made me wanna complete it even more. I think it's great. Just a little more work with the wires and the covering and everything is done! To think that i'm so close to completing what I'd been working so hard on.

Am I in or not?
I don't wanna hold on the little thread of hope. Will I be part of the team for this Saturday's sovccer match, if it is confirmed??? One time I am told, why didn't I come for the match(on wed 10/8), It was actually because they claim they will be a fight. In the end it might just be a scam to stop me from joining them. But if they don't want me there say I'm not up for it to my face. Then I will stay back and improve my skills to one day be better. So when the match(maybe) on saturday imerged, I asked for details, they weren't sure if they wanted me to play. One thing to keep in mind, I won't go nor hold it against them if they don't want me to attend the match. I know I'm not up to par, but I really want to play because I love the game. I believe I can contribute. I'm good in the air. But do not let me think have hopes for the squad. I wanna perform, just be honest with me, and give me a chance to play.

Happy birthday Singapore!!!
Singapore is 40!!! Happy birthday! I keep on telling myself that if i was a soccer player playing abroad, if they offer me to play for their country, i will turn it down. Because I love Singapore. I really wanna represent Singapore and make it proud. So far, i guess if i can put singapore on the map with a good movie that will show overseas, will be great. Or the first sci-fied story... DREAMWORLD...
I hate people who make sudden change in plans. That is why I flare up at these people, cannot stick to the plan. I did it with Eric Sng, Fadhil had it once. Now it is miss PSLE who did it. I'll call her SY, the neighbour who scored 250 in PSLE and didn't know how to extingush a small fire caused by an air con short cicuit. They ran down in panick. End here...

Rio Ferdinand Agrees New 4-Year Deal
Manchester United is pleased to announce that it has reached agreement with Rio Ferdinand on a four year contract to keep him at Old Trafford until June 2009.
Manager Sir Alex Ferguson said:
“It’s great news that Rio has agreed a contract. The reality of negotiations today is that they take time. But these have always been conducted in a good spirit and we are very pleased with the outcome. We can now look forward to the future.”
Rio Ferdinand said:
“I am delighted to be signing a new deal. I said all along that I wanted to stay at the club and this has now put that issue to bed. I’m looking forward to the start of what I expect will be a great season. It’s good to get this matter out of the way to allow me to concentrate on playing for United.”

Commendation Day/Bowling Fantasy
It wasn't a great start to the day, the commendation day was boring... I find the school selfish and thirfty. Oonah has 2 awards, she'll still get the same amount of vouchers. The school, since in 'N' level, can't tell the exact marks, should give the english or POA award to someone else... anyway, after that, I went home and changed and met del, and stacey ant poolside, we went for bowling... Then, I had the best game of my life thus far. 3 squares in I got 37 pts mot counting the double strike
A beginner beating to ametuers, wow! It wads, embarrassing, humiliating, a mulling and disappointing. But i was happy she was getting the grip of the game. She found it fun, like i did when I first tried it out... Total, I got 4-5 strikes in 6 games... not bad... Stacey reqested we play again on wed at east coast. I said ok.
Then we went to pizza hut. 1 regular curry chicken, 1 hawaiian, 20 drumlets and 1 pepsi pitcher. The taxes, service charge and GST! It all totalled to 7 bucks... ex!!!! But we enjoyed ourselves... haha... Kinda tired so i end here.
