Rugby + Soccer + Beer

Friday: went for cg then headed down to leeyaawn's place to chill. WTH..he's got the whole flat to himself. Anyway...it was quite fun..me,leon,iylia, mukund and darren were jus chilling in leeyaawm's room listening and singing along to songs like, "champagne supernova, "the scientist", "hotel california", "you and me", "blind", yellowcard, ben folds and many many more emo songs. iylia and darren were being arseholes trying to change the lyrics which spoilt most of the songs. hahaha..freaking funny. I'd love to have another session like that soon.

Today was one great day for me! Had a rugby friendly with the sailors and pilots of the USS Abraham Lincoln, its an american aircraft carrier. Damn they were freaking HUGE. ALL of them were twice my size and at least a head taller than me. I was really surprised to see 3 ladies playing in the team. LADIES playing with MEN. OMG. They've seriously got balls...well not literally. One of them played the Hooker, the other as In-Center and last one as a prop!! YES..PROP! OH MY...i really take my hat off them. Its really amazing how much guts they've got to play with men.

Anyway, I played for abt 30 mins during the second half. Didnt get a chance to play during the first cos i was late and the captain was shocked to hear that a scrony guy like me plays as a Second Row. He asked me a couple of questions.

Rick: "Which position do u play?"
Me: "Second row."
Rick: "Ohh..can u run?"
Me: "Well, yeah i can but not as fast as the backs."
Rick: "Hahaha..the forward pack u're abt to face are pretty huge and u dont look like you'll survive in the rugs. I hope u hv heavy bones."
Me: "yeah...i can manage."

YEAH RIGHT! I'm only 67 kg and those bastards out there were at least 80 to 100kg! hahaha.. I'm really really satisfied with my performance today. I have not played rugby for close to a yr, nv trained...except going for runs and working out in the gym, and i managed to survive for 30 mins and make quite a number of tackles. I feel so good. hahaha.. however, there's lots more for me to do, i need to buff up and improve my stamina.

We headed to the club for a nice cold shower after the game followed by a buffet reception and FREE FLOW OF BEER! Hahaha! Chicken curry with egg and potato was what we had. GOOD STUFF. Had a couple of glasses of beer while watching the match between ManU and Chelsea. BLOODY HELL...chelsea won. hell with that. The company i had was great..and so was the beer. =) Stayed on till the match ended...then i headed back home.

Hmmm..alright..i shall go watch some tv while waiting for my sweetheart to msg so that i can call her. Didnt manage to talk to her yesterday..sigh...i miss her so so much. =(

whats love?

Love is Patient, Love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast,
its is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrong.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7

absolutely beautiful and true.

hmmm..

lets talk about my weekend. spent fri night over at wilson's place with the brotherhood and some of the girls to celebrate ernest's bday. BUT calista's name was on the bday cake. "Errr ooook"..it was meant to be a surprise but a pretty weird one cos ernest's name wasnt on the cake. ok nvm. I LEARNT HOW TO PLAY MAHJONG! i was playing with the girls cos i thought they were noobs...but i was wrong. xiao jiao and jasmine kept winning. bloody helll.. i was so determine to win them on just one game but i didnt. i will soon... its actually quite fun, the only difficulty i had was reading the chinese words! i cant believe i forgot whats north, south, east and west in chinese. even mukund, an indian can play mahjong. haha. anyway, i got bored after playing a few rounds cos the girls jus kept winning every round. We ordered Mcdonalds and it took them 1 hr. We had 2 unexpected guests, the freaking police came. we thought it was the mcs delivery man. Hahaha. After supper, i watched this lesbian serial, something similar to sex and the city, with ernest, mukund, jas and xiao jiao. its amazing to see how these lesbians think and act. they check out girls like how we guys do. sex scenes were alright..they didnt reveal much. after 3 episodes, i joined leon, amos and ernest and we talked abt those days in primary and sec sch. hahaha...those were the days and i reaaally reaally miss them. oh wells, we chatted till abt 7 plus and we headed hm to sleeep. i had to work at 3 till night and thats abt it for sat.

Did the usual on sunday, went to church with my family and then caught a thriller movie called "the sentinnel" with them after service. Abt an hour before the movie, i met up with sheryl and 2 other friends of hers. gosh..all she could ask me was how's my dad, mum, bro and sis. lol. after the movie, i headed down to CHINESE GARDEN to attend paulina's belated birthday party, which is all the way at JURONG. the train ride wasnt a long and boring one thanks to that special someone. =) Food was good but the drinks were better. hahahahaha. tried this beer called breda..didnt really like it. vanilla vodka is awesome shit. i think i drank abit too much cos i felt quite high...not drunk cos i was aware of what i was doing. i kinda like the feeling of getting a lil high..it makes me relaxed and sleepy. i like talking to that special someone after a couple of drinks, my mushy-meter jus shoots up. hahaha.. ok thats bollocks. i think drank abit too much cos i had a headache and i couldnt sleep properly. which means i had a freaking hangover and that feeling sucks.

i was late for work today cos i woke up late. I really tried to wake up earlier but my head felt so so heavy. i really needed to rest. work was fine...there were no customers at night therefore i was dismissed 2 hrs earlier! hahaha... anyway...i wanna go for a short run now. I cant wait to resume rugby at scc this wed. my skills are rusty and its gonna take time to be back on form. alright peeps..ciao!

*peace out!

driving license

damn, i just realised that my probational driving license will expire on the 4th of june. I SERIOUSLY need to get my driving license before that date. shit..i only have less than 2 months and i've not applied for my final theory and lessons. NO i'm NOT gonna fail my final theory and i'm gonna try my best not to fail the practical test. I aint gonna go straight when the traffic light is red, keep going around the round-about in the OPPOSITE direction or just go straight when i need to brake unlike SOMEONE. =)

Just the way i'm feeling...

I cant sleep because i just had mee goreng, a piece of choc cake, apple strudels, mango and lots of orange juice since abt 11. Feel really bloated. MMmmm....i like eating apple strudels. The first time i tried them was in perth, boy it was really really good. Ok its LATE and i need to sleep. Nite. Bye.

I'm too in love to let it go, but if i never try i'll never know.
At the same time i dont want to love someone and just let it go to waste.
The thought of it just sends streams of tears flowing down my face.
However, i'm going to hold on to you
because i believe in Faith.

Friendship



I saw this being pasted outside a kindergarten at the treasury, which is near where i'm doing my attachment. Its amazing that these toddlers are being natured to treasure friendships, something that we, grown up teenagers who are becoming adults, have kind of taken for granted over the years. Well maybe not all of you out there have, but i admit i have.

Its really sad that some friends come and go. Somehow i just wish that i could keep in contact with them everyday and everyweek, but it seems really impossible. However, I thank God for The Brotherhood from the almighty Anglo-Chinese School (Barker Rd). Most of us meet up almost every week for prata at kayu to crap, gossip, joke, share about our week and other stuffs. However, these are brothers...just brothers. Hahaha...kidding. Hmmm..oh yes..not forgetting my gym buddy Leonardo Ong..the legend..HAH. A brother who signs me into his club to use the gym, attends sunday services together but has problems waking up for AFTERNOON services. Hahaha.. Thanks for signing me in to use the gym at the club man. =) Hmmm..another group of friends whom i see almost every week are the church ppl. Used to be pretty close to them but not really now i guess...dont really hv time to hang out with them. Oh! not forgetting my sch mates and classmates. A mini-united nations. Hahaha.. I may hv 400 plus friends on friendster but i hardly hv time for most of them. sucks sucks sucks. But i thank God for the friends i've been consistently in touch with every week for now. Its better to have a few close friends than to have many friends.

Hmmm...sharing of toys. Back in kindergarten, i still can remember playing lego with my lil friends during our break time. Our teachers would jus take out all the legos, have us sit in a circle and they will place all the toys and legos in the middle for us. Being afraid of getting the lousy pieces, we would jus rush the good stuffs. I remember being told by one of my teacher to share a few pieces with a boy and i was a lil reluctant cos i wanted to share it with my kindergarten crush who was sitting beside me. Hahaha! I ended up sharing with both of them because i didnt hv a choice. Hahaha..boy those were the days. Now, i dont have any toys to share with because i dont have any toys! Well..i have my cool 20GB ipod and i guess that all abt it? Yes i do share it with ppl whom i trust.

YAY!!! today's roz's and my 2nd month. Happy 2nd darl.. :) iheartu and i miss you very much.

Alright..gonna sleep and wake up early to head to the gym! zzzz..

13 weeks of attachment

I'm into the 2nd week of my outlet attachment. The 1st week was really really tiring. I had to wake up at 530 to 6 EVERY MORNING last week. Wth..i hv problems waking up at 7 or 8. hahaha.. Anyway...i was only late ONCE last week. *phew* Let me give u guys a rough idea of how my 13 weeks attachment is like. I have to do different shifts on alternate weeks..so since i was in the morning shift last week..i'll be in the afternoon shift the following week and its the same for the rest of the weeks. Working hours for the morning shift is from 715am to 330pm and the afternoon shift starts from 245pm to 11pm.

Trying to wake up at 530 in the morning last week was a REAL challenge, but thanks to roz for making it easier with those "wake up msges" :) . Working in the morning shift was a struggle for me cos i was always sleepy. Oh and btw...WE DONT GET PAID. The thought of it sucks big time...there is hardly any motivation for me to work besides learning. There was really nothing much to do in the morning besides waiting for time to jus pass..and i swear it felt like forever. Whenever i was bored..i would either, stare at the traffic light across the road and count how long it would take for the traffic like to turn green and vice versa, how many times the green man on the traffic light would blink before it turns red, stare out into no where and think of that special someone, smile to myself like a mofo and send a couple of msges, chat around with my friends and pray that God will just do something to the clock. There were hardly any customers in the mid afternoon..the crowd would only start coming at about 1 plus or 2. Oh yes...i hate my SFT (special field trainer). She's got the face of darth sith...and she's so so freaking bossy. She's always commanding and ordering us around and she hardly says "please" or "thanks". She tries to speak really fluently during debriefs but she cant..gosh..the moment she opens her mouth, it just turns me off. Instuctions she gives are not clear and she always pretends not to hear u calling her. BITCH!

Today's my first day doing the afternoon shift. I was the bartender and wine waiter. Time flies pretty fast during this shift..i guess its because its busier and theres more for us to do, but there were times i was bored too. There were so many mocktails i had to make today because there were so many orders. During dinner, an old caucasian couple ordered a bottle of white wine to go along with their meal and i had to open it infront of them. Initially, i was quite nervous because i was so afraid that i would break the cock...i mean the wine cock. hurr. I was struggling a lil while opening the wine however it went well, it didnt break. :) Well after pouring the wine into their glasses, i left them alone to enjoy their appettizer and their wine and decided to ask them whether they liked the wine after that. Boy they loved the wine. Guess what? i managed to strike a conversation with them. I began by asking them which country their from and how long have they been staying here and stuff. They are from australia, brisbane and they've been here for a week! Oh my...i swear they are very friendly and nice. I was standing infront of their table and they were telling me about how they love the weather in Singapore. My gosh...they love the heat and humidity here. They feel that Hong Kong was too cold for them..thats why they decided to fly over here. At first, they sailed from Brisbane to Hong Kong and then flew here. They were also telling me about how beautiful Yarra Valley Wineyard is, which is in victoria, australia, and thats where their daughter held her wedding. How awesome is that?! =) I think i was talking to them for about 5 mins after their main course. They are really nice old folks. After they left, my friend, who read the comment card which they filled up, told me that i made their stay a very memorable one. All Glory to God. You have no idea how satisfied and happy i was when i heard that. How i wish to be able to meet and interact with guests like them everyday during my attachment. It would be much more interesting.

Daamn...i cant wait for 13 weeks to be over. Then it'll be JUNE!! I hope i'll be doing the morning shift on the last week of attachment so that i can spend time with roz when she's back. I'm so so excited!! =)))

SHIT!!!! I jus realised that i totally forgot about april fool's day! Now i've gotta wait for a yr. -_-

Hmmm...i feel like having ice cream..BEN AND JERRY'S!!!! =D
