Good morning folks! Been damn lazy to update. So many things've been happening the past few days...
I went to watch Singapore VS Malaysia! That was cool. We won 5-4 on penalties cos we drew 1-1, went into extra time and couldn't break the scoreline. What can i say, the atmosphere was euphoric. First time i saw the stadium packed, real packed. There was just a big ocean of reds (not those found in cigarettes, ok that was lame...), and according to statistics there were 55,000 fans present. most of them singaporeans, obviously. Watched it with Terence, Sebast, Jeremy, Jeremy's brother (his name is Joel i think), Rea and her friends, Alicia, Grace and Azhar ! It was like another live tagboard session lol. Awesome meeting you guys there, and looking forward to seeing yall more often. You've got great friends Drea! Football brings people together, and that's a beautiful thing.
Funny thing was i had to get tickets from this guy Justin. Rea sent me his number and his name read Lee; Justin. I was thinking could he be the Justin i knew from SJI, and WALA it was him haha. Justin if you happen to read this, Hello! It was funny when you called and was asking where i was. In the end i had to open my big blue umbrella to indicate where i was, though it wasn't raining lol. It didnt really help till we both saw each other. Will prolly see yall at the next match cos Drea said we would all sit together! And Drea it's cool. No need to apologise for being late lah, it was kinda expected lol. Just kidding yo. Props to Jeremy who reserved some space for us to sit. It was a great outing, thankfully it didn't rain during the match though i was itching a little to show off my one-of-a-kind twin headed, double-barreled-shotgun-lookalike, two-shades-of-blue-coloured, unconventional umbrella. ha!
what can i say, Singapore played really well. Their passing was much improved compared to when they faced Indonesia (where they sucked pretty bad), and there was some world-class one-touch passing which made me go 'woa'. The first goal by malaysia was i feel, Lionel lewis' mistake. One thing i noticed, he always goes to ground when catching the ball. Most keepers would put their knees down to prevent the ball from nutmegging them, and block the path of the ball with their bodies. Anyway he redeemed himself when he saved the last penalty by the malaysian striker, which i felt wasn't a good penalty shot, a pretty soft strike at that. Bennett defended our fort really well. Bigups to him man. Not to forget Precious' long shot during the last few moments of extra time, which was headed for the top left corner, only to be tipped over the bar by the malaysian keeper's fingertips. Damn if only that went in, no one expected him to fancy a shot like that! It would have drawn an exclamation like ssshhhhiiiiiiiittttt. I think the best penalty kick taken was by our own player Mustafiq. Straight down the centre, at the top of the net. And i felt he played really well. There was a superb volley by him which was deflected over the crossbar by a defender in yellow. Can't remember when he did that... Respect for the yellow team's keeper too though, as i felt he worked very hard to keep the yellows in the game. Too bad (or good) we won. Good game overall. Chea.
After that Jeremy, Joel, Terence, Sebast and i went for supper at Mongkok Dim Sum Restaurant at Geylang It's good to have friends who can drive lol. But thanks for the ride guys! We had to wait damn long for the food lah. At one time, Jeremy asked the lady to clear the table. She was unmistakably from mainland China, so in chinese Jeremy said, xiao jie, ke yi bang wo men 'clean up' ma? That was f-cking funny lol. No offence bro! After all you said you loved me to bits on friendster didn't you? Hehe. Too bad you won't be at the 1st leg match of the finals man. What a night lah what a night. i hope to see you again terence! before you know what! Not to forget dear Sebast as well. Haha. Damn man all you peeps gonna ORD soon. 19 weeks left for me.
Alright so saturday ended and sunday came. i had our weekly soccer session with the eXcess people. It was fun except for this group of malay kids (not being racist here) who kept taunting us cos they didnt get to play. Who asked yall not to book the court? fuckers. Ha. And one of them confronted my friend, who if for the un-initiated, was an ex-gangster. He's a big indian guy, with great-looking sideburns haha. he's got gangster connections too, who were or possibly still are, knife and broken-bottle wielding warriors in their own right. That scrawny kid wanted to settle things by fighting, and he was in a boxer-stance. I thought, what a loser. If things got hotter i would have prolly joined in the confrontation, cos i was FUCKING pissed off. Those kids deserve a teaching or a beating. Luckily i didnt let the anger get the better of me or i would have lashed out. Besides i have been pumping iron. Fortunately i didnt abuse them for the wrong reason lol. fuckfaces... And so we carried on playing til it was time for us to go. It was a great soccer time, not to mention getting a good sweat out of it all.
This morning there was a meeting for all the NSFs in our department. Basically we were lectured for our sloppiness in doing office duties. Oh well what can i say. Our admin head reprimanded us for a cool 40mins. It was so boring i almost fell asleep. He even said things like 'you don't know the other side of me' and something along the lines of 'don't mess with me'. he brought up the example of when someone poured sulphuric acid over his car body and how he brought the culprit to the police station to make a report stating that the he was made to pay for the damages. We were all basically stoning and not paying heed to what he was talking about. 2 extras for any sloppiness, was the verdict of the case in question. so yea we'd all better be careful next time.
when's my lunch coming.....
