I HAVE to write this down for posterity... hahaha... yesterday at our weekly sunday soccer game, i scored my first ever goal using my head...YES you didn't hear wrongly...i really scored with MY head!!! You people might find it hard to believe that the kiat who never once uses his head to touch the ball actually scored with a header??! I'm proud to say ... I did it MY way...you could say i was happy, elated blah blah blah... in the words of malau and doong... i was no longer the wonderkid... i am THE complete midfielder... hahaha... how apt... a fitting description for a player of MY stature... All right before i get too carried away, let's give credit where its due... to my team mates who make it all possible that day... you deserve a mention... Lye Heng in particular who made that purrfect throw leading to the historic moment... haha... actually i gave him a new name just yesterday... Eddie Goh-rerro ( geddit? ) hahahaha.... i've had a good laugh over it...
Right now i'm in my school's computer lab doing some research for my project, and waiting to meet up with the rest of the guys to discuss it later in the afternoon... so, till then people...

Just saw it on TV... Ladan and Laleh , the Iranian twins who came all the way to Singapore for the ground breaking surgery to separate themselves has succumbed to the odds which was so heavily stacked against them right from the start, has died within hours from extensive loss of blood... my heart just sank there... my ever emotional mum fought to hold back her tears too... must have taken lots of guts to go ahead with it even though they knew chances would be slim... then as TV footages of them going about their daily life run through, i wonder what might make them give up all that life has to offer for just that one shot that might change their lives forever... and it did... in the most cruel way...





A mini jc class outing in town... boarded the NEL to see whats the hooha all about... its just a train system anyway... heh... met up at chinatown mrt... had dinner at maxwell food centre before going over to a cafe joint at one fullerton for drinks... spent most of the time playing catch-up... from left: Kok Kang, Adrian Yaw, Hui Hui, Gracie and Liumin...
Just for laughter... Moe from The Simpsons is in da house...i've placed a picture for easy identification... can you guys spot him? ( Ed, if you are reading this... don’t laugh... give others a chance lah... ) hahaha...

Went to this really swanky restaurant in Fullerton Hotel yesterday with the whole family… was having second thoughts as I was wearing burmudas so too was my mum…haha…somemore the place so posh that the price for dining in must be even “poshier” too… but my sis insisted on going in anyway cos she’s the one giving the treat… as we stepped in, we immediately found ourselves at ease when we saw some tourists dressing sloppily too… phew! But I still find it uneasy getting up every now and then to help myself to the buffet servings though… I mean, for all the grandeur of the place, you find people ( typical Singaporeans ) dressing as though they are going to the wet market ( I’m referring to myself… haha ) Strangely enough the staff did not cast me the dirty look … maybe its because there’s no particular dress code? In any case, there won’t be a next time …if even the restaurant declares everything I eat is on the house… hahaha… Mum if you’re looking at this… don’t kill me please… hahaha… cos I’m gonna tell the whole world what you said on that night… ok here it goes… *sniggles*
The waiter was asking my mum “ Mam’, coffee or tea? “ My mum, for the love of God, and the heartlander auntie she always will be, replied “ Teh Si “ WAHAHAHAHAHAHA... our table erupted into laughter immediately... wah piang eh... high crass restoran leh ... hahaha... my dad added in “ eh ee mmph see kopi kia leh... “ ( loosely translated he’s not a coffee boy in Hokkien ) I tell you people... damn funny man...I’m still laughing away like mad as I’m typing this... hahaha... but on a more serious note, they seldom have the chance to come to this kind of posh place cos they have been slogging their entire lives providing for our needs ... to that, I thank them for what I have today... love you two always...

Just finished “In the mood for Love” ( 花 樣年華 ) on dvd an hour ago on an overcast chilly morning, I’ve always liked this kind of weather, it has just the right mood for people to get cosy together… err… no naughty thoughts here…hehehe… back to the show… the movie being an arthouse flick and all, was disappointing really… I wasn’t even aware that the movie has ended… nothing spectacular, boring most of the time… or maybe its because I don’t know how to appreciate this kind of movie… haha… the only kick was seeing Maggie Cheung in cheongsam… she’s one hot chick I must say…

Listening now to this song " Silence " by Sarah McLachlan and Delerium... heard she's releasing a new album later this year... i'll be sure to grab it as soon as it appears on the shelves of HMV...





This group shot was taken at the final leg of the tour Bedok and Tampines trip on foot and pedals, at Bedok Reservoir… from our footwear you can guess who were the ones actually jogging… the other two I’m ashamed to say, are both slackers…people… move your fat asses and do some work man…
By the way, Kwang… what’s wrong man? You peed in yer pants or wot? Heehee… am I really too fast for you? Tell me to slow down next time ok? hehehe...





You people will never guess where this place is… right smack in the outskirts of Tampines… it never looked so beautiful at sunset so I decided to take a picture of the 3 goofballs I was with ( from left: Yenhan, Kwang and Lam ) But… pity them spoiling the picturesque scenery though… hahaha…



Today i finally close the door to NUS for good... i've talked to a lot of people, did much reading on the course itself and i think what my cousin said made the most sense... he said degrees are commonplace things nowadays and what employers are actually looking for is not much of where you got it from but rather how much experience you've had... considering that, i can most definitely do A LOT of things in that two years i were to sacrifice in order to study for the NUS course... i certainly hope i will not look back at this few years down the road and regret it...

Went to meet up with ( from left : Angeline, Wynnie, Jizheng, Shaun, Bob, and ah hui ) at " Blue Notes " in Boat Quay after an outing with Hui Hui and Liumin... don't really like the place that much... their chill out music is not that chill out to me... hehe... was pleasantly surprised to see Angeline whom i've not seen for a year and half or so...spent most of the time catching up with her... eh you still look the same, nothing has changed... as ditzy as ever... haha...
After that, the two girls and i accompanied jz to his house to get his car... the other guys were to meet us later for supper... had to drop off Angeline cos she's working tomorrow and as we drove to supper after picking up the 3 guys, we were shocked to find a road block ahead near Singapore Expo and there was one too many passenger in the back seat... s***! we're in for it... we tried a lot of pattern like trying to stuff poor Bob under the leg room and sitting in a staggered pattern in the hope of deceiving the traffic police... hahaha...
as we cautiously approach the police officer, we put on our calm front to try to throw him off guard but alas he saw through our trick... now here comes the funny part... his first remark was " whoa... lorry ah? " damn i try hard not laugh and then as we were trying to get out of the mess, someone said something and he replied " you think what? chan mali chan... " MUAHAHA damnnit he's funny... when we realised we had nowhere to hide, we admitted it and he said " ... thank you sir... you are very frank... please pull to the side and have a nice day..." Whoa i must respect our Singapore TP... unlike our neighbour across the causeway... haha... you guys should know what i mean... And as we were waiting for the summon to be slapped on us, another police officer came over to tell us that his colleague told us to go... Huh?!?! we quickly drove off after saying a word of thanks...not stopping to think much...in case he changed his mind... what a lucky escape...
phew! which only goes to show our officers have a heart too... maybe perhaps we didn't trash talk much with the officer and pissed him off so much he decided to let us go... but anyway you deserve my salute Officer Rahim ( i remember the name meaning 'compassionate' , and bob confirmed it in his blog during a visit to the Asian civilisation museum some time back... ) hahahaha....






2 of my friends, Hui Hui and Liumin, back from NYJC days whom i still kept in regular contact with... this picture is taken at the fountain in front of Ngee Ann city...
