Just watched balls of fury with reub, ran, zhou, hoe, lai, and jon. dumb show. and its used jokes and lame plot places it up there alongside Monster house and shrek 3.

haiz. As in a month.

sian.

and i found the solution to the defender's dilemma. You wait. and apply pressure, but do not commit.. for soon enough.. the touchline will come. and the ball will be yours from a goalkick.

Of knights and swords

Just dl-ed the hairspray OST. which is darn nice. haha.

today's a good day. got back physics and Ace.. though it is kinda eroded by the number of aces in the class (17). which is imba. haha. but yeah. i am good. haha. and after slacking today.. tomorrow must restart liao. There are some battles in life you can't afford to lose, and i guess this is one of them. and hairspray is seriously good. haha. should have believed munhoe at first. haha.

and with the unveiling of ran's new PSP slim.. i am at a crossroads once again, like every knight and warrior, i am faced with the choice of switching my weapon even though it has served me well. Like a old sword passed down generations, the handle is worn and the blade is blunt and rusted, but on it is the blood of a thousand foes, who would forget the 1000 car's it has taken down in burnout, or the hundreds of perfect serves on virtual tennis 3, or the millions of krauts and fascists taken down in Call of Duty 3, or even the number of Popo's, Anteka's and Viadrome's slayed in monster hunter freedom 2. It has served me well, but for the reason King Arthur seeked the Excalibur and Liu Bei seeked Zhuge Liang, i am now faced with the prospect of a better sword. A blade so slim, sharp and fast as can be. One that would bring me to another new level of gaming. But i would never forget my old PSP, of which i lovingly named Morpheus, due to its black appearance and its fulfilment of my dreams. Which i never introduced to my family due to reasons. but a great love morpheus has been, with skin so enticingly black and direction keys that squeak ever so affectionately to my every touch of the buttons, i am sorry to let you go. But u know, morpheus, knowing me knowing you, its the best i can do. I know you would understand that for a warrior like me, i need a better sword. Like a club promoted from the championship to premiership, i am forced to abandon promotion heroes, like you. And i wish you all the best with your next owner, and i am sure you, as you have served me well, will serve him well too. With Love and Sadness, Your owner, Sir Wong.

And so. the PSP fund is officially open again, and like always you can find it at the same place at the column to your right. and any donations are kindly accepted with lots of thanks. Selling whole set too. so if anyone interested. just click on the send mail link under my profile.

thks.

haha

till nxt time..

Wednesday 26 September 2007

Tuesday 25 September 2007

morning football

Just came back from football wif rong, ray, bain, jimmy, park, cai, cai's fren and ran. tired but satisfied. haha. managed to score 2 poacher's goal when the opponent were unwary as i just went and disturb the keeper and score. haha. enough for me. haha. since its rare enough for me to score.

playing FM now. haha. everton. quite fun. plenty of ups and downs. haha.

West ham lost last saturday. which makes it a bad week ahead. hopefully they would win the league cup tie tomorrow, which would i guess turn the week around.

tired.. but unwilling to sleep.. haha. cos as the song from hairspray said, why sleep at home when you can snooze in school.. haha. yeah. its the last day of this short break.. and i am gonna make the best out of it.. haha. play.

oh ya. on a side note. Happy mooncake festival, lantern festival,中秋节, 月饼节 or whatever you call this festival. haha.

till nxt time

The striker's choice

And besides the defender's dilemma, there is the striker's one.. this is the situation. you are on the same line as the last defender and the opponent just had a corner cleared and the ball is travelling towards you, and the linesmen are trapped on the opposite end of the field, so that you would escape scot-free with an offside. and so here is the choice, would you be slightly offside, and claim a goal and a win for your team (add that it is the final minute of extra time and there it is the champions league final or something), or will you uphold the ideals of sportsmanship and stand unmoving for their keeper to claim the loose ball and gain a sportsmanship award or something?.

The philosophy of football, applied to life.. been comparing everything to football lately..and sometimes, life's just the same both on and off the pitch. aint it?

haha.back to real life. went watch hairspray wif jimmy n jiaying today. haha. nice show. really. a really good musical. have to get the soundtrack soon. haha.

nth much else today.. today and tomorrow is slack days. haha. not gonna study until i get back my results. yeah. so tomorrow.. is a good day.. haha.

hope so.

Sunday 23 September 2007

The defender's dilemma

Ok. here's the situation. you are a defender. and there are no more defenders behind you, just the keeper to beat. and you are faced with a striker with the ball. and he pushes the ball slightly ahead of himself and you are faced with the situation of whether to commit the tackle or not.. the problem is you are already on a yellow card. and that tackle will either win you the ball or get you sent off by gettting another yellow card. So the dilemma is whether to make the tackle.

Went temple morning today. left in the afternoon..

nth much else.

till nxt time

Wkend roundup

Has been a great weekend thus far..

Fri night went out with reub, ran, hoe, lai, noch, colin and ate.. and watched underdog cos the rest of the show timing doesn't suit us and hoe dun feel like watching rogue assassin.. haha. which ain't bad actually cos underdog turned out funny.. not really worth my 9.50 though. but underdog was funny. no less..

Yesterday morn went football @ AHS with ran... but too long never play.. den i dun really noe how to play already.. haha. after which enjoyed a good lunch and zhou came over and we FM-ed the whole afternoon away... pissed off by Alessandro Pistone, Celestine Babayaro and Tim Howard. and dun get ur hopes up early, wong.

Then the night was well spent at ran's.. where we watched the arsenal derby match.. which by the time i had to leave is already 5-0. haha. and i managed to guess the first 2 scorers exactly.. and if adebayor had not won that penalty.. first 3 scorers. haha. but good win for Le arse nonetheless. haha. tonight pits West ham against Newcastle with West ham fielding the midfield of newcastle 3 years ago when at least they were fighting for a place in europe. Bowyer- Parker- solano. Com'on you hammers.. though i have a bad feeling bout tonight.

Yeah. nth much else.

Battle for middle earth

endured another sad 1v1 situation this morn as i lost once again.. haha. not the 1v1 kind of person.. need to brush it up. lolz

but the second game with ran was the good one.. where we humilated 2 brutal coms to boot. and purchased everything purchasable and fully upgraded one of my fortresses ( i had 3 at the end) with catapults and everything. Now.. look at that.. if that ain't a beauty, i don't know what is. go on. click on it. zoom in look at its details.. the lava moats and the fire spires and the mordor mystic with 7 catapults pointing in 7 direction and the only one left guarded by a dragon. nice.



going out later.. so cutting it short now.

Thursday 20 September 2007

Of firsts, lasts and everything in between.

Well.. today is the final paper( for me anyway) of prelims and yeah. chilled the whole day today.. which is damn shiok.. and for the first time in my life.. yeah. call me sua ku, loser, no life or anything.. but i went to cineleisure for the first time... haha. wrong end of orchard road for me... normally with the gang we almost just end up furtherst at plaza sing.. yeah. and tt's like Singapore for us... haha. we rarely venture up into the unknown reaches where i guess we have nothing to do there... just slightly out of my radius. if it was at tanah merah or something will be a different case..

Also visited Vilage there for the first time but did not eat. cos my budget is the student equivalent of zamibia's or the Central African Republic's, and with the rising gst and inflation everywhere to ride the gst raise wave, my real budget has once again decreased... on another note.... and though this may sound suprising.. played time crisis for the first time. and visited arcade for the first time in god knows how long.. and yeah.. also watched I now pronouce you chuck and larry which is imo a good funny show... gay-ishly funny.. haha. you know... movies are like a circle.. haha.. not a triangle.. lol. damn gay n funny.

After which walked around PS with jimmy n jiaying. where i picked up that magic prerelease is coming again.. what memories.. haha. and went this shop which sells only door handles.. every single kind of it on earth.. oh ya. they also have a few shower heads.. but the most important thing is the door handles which kinda inspired me to think in the shower just now about my new house. yeah. i was thinking bout my room.. i guess it would be large but not huge. just enough for my bed, king sized, a walk-in wardrobe. a sort of mini lounge. and of course the bathroom but not too much space so that it is difficult for me to walk from one end to the other. Then the door will be made of solid wood. 3 full inches thick teak or mahogany or some other solid wood with a supremely nice finish, with handles of swarovski crystals like some i saw just now. then enter and i see the bed to the wall on my left. and directly ahead is my full length windows stretching across the entire room covered with curtains of the finest silk and craftsmanship. to my right is my lounge. carpeted with some tibetian carpet. with sofa's, 2 1 seater sofas of the best leather. and sort of a mini bar and fridge there where food, wine and everything will be stored. and of course a TV. 42". Plasma. Coupled with great sound systems and stuff. but no PS3 or consoles, those are for the entertainment room. And in the other corner on the right, the mirror and table as well as a bookshelf. not any bookshelf. but one with a secret entrance where i would pull down some book and go into my secret hideout kinda thing. darn cool. and of course.. somewhere between the middle of the lounge and the bookcase will be my toilet. with golden plated taps with carvings of angels and cherubs. and a jacuzzi. huge. with two dragon heads carved of stone spouting water in the corners. and a shower at the other end of the bathroom next to my throne when i guess there is need for a quick bath. with the showerhead which is darn big or the one wei ming said is damn nice. lolz. back to the room. On a corner in the left will be my walk-in wardrobe of which there is no need for much explanation. and the room will be painted.. say gold.. not the very deep and solid shade. but a gentler one of which reflects royalty and luxury. and the ceiling will have those damn cool carvings and a damn cool fan.. and 4 of those built into ceiling aircons to cool down my whole room. And when i draw the curtains, golden sunlight will filter in in sunny days, reflecting of the golden walls and creating a great ambience fit for royalty. and of course draw them when there is rain, unless i am down and need to feel the world crying with me. More of the view and the things beyond the room. yeah. i will have a balcony. big enough for a garden table and wooden chairs. and the whole balcony will be wooden. and beyond the balcony it would be a great expanse of grass, not too great, so that i could see a sandy beach and sea in the distance, Lined with great huge trees, of the flame of the forest variety, huge trees with towering and wide branches which provide shade. and at the sea in the distance, a small jetty and a corner, with one small boat- my boat, bobbing up and down the lake. yeah. i figured a lake is better than a sea. but the grass and the sea is for another story. So back to the room, and every morning, when my alarm rings, the curtains will draw, sending the sunlight in.. guess i saw that in some commercial or movie but it is damn cool. and yeah. Oh yeah, lights, there will be a chandelier, swarovski again in the middle of the room, with small lights in the other corners. but those are not the main attraction anyway. And i guess thats all for the imagined room.. where one day.. i hope to have it.. if not.. let me have it in heaven or something.

Wooh. that's one long description.

Just played BFME with zhou. lost to him 1v1. need to brush up my troops management. after which played 2v2 with com cos neither of us have enough energy left in us for yet another epic battle of wits and fingers of 1v1. but the game came to no conclusion and i could but be reminded of this poem i recorded from some green lantern comics,
"It began as a distant thunder rolling across the heavens with a storm warning's clamor.
It swells to envelop the firmament in a grand exclaimation.
It climaxes with the stentorian bark of an angry god.
It the retreats in the same subtle fashion with which it arrived, leaving in its wake-
The brightest day."

haha. yeah.

oh yeah. if i ever get rich enough to own that room..

this car is mine.


yeah.

nth much else.

till nxt time.

freedom

Is there a word for failing to do something you know you should have done but felt you need not have did it anyway and no one is doing it anyway. Well.. in a word.. that's wad i did today.. not exactly... didn't really bother anyway.. not gonna study for paper 1.. not when i studied for the rest of the papers.. wait.. i feel an ounce of guilt.. wait.. *squeezes it between fingers*.. gone. haha.

anyway.. a minor miracle... an empty library


Just exited from middle earth.. cos my parents not at home and like everyone.. days or even hours, minutes or seconds without parents are ultimate bliss. Although it was a tragedy in my family that brought about this few hours of freedom. Well. My uncle passed away. and yeah. again. i barely knew him. Its still sad though. cancer's the cause again. Well. i guess he is still a great man.. having fought the battle and though finally lost.. lived a life as long as any other-- A lifetime. and to that. i tilt my hat to you..

But here comes the conflict. when one dies, do one wish others to mourn him for endless time. or to carry on with life and walk on through the garden of destiny? and when it is too early to stop mourning and when is it too late? What if the person stated before death that he wished for everyone to continue living without any change? dunno. guess those qns are not for me to answer.

nth much else.. cant wait for tomorrow and the days beyond.

till nxt time

Tuesday 18 September 2007

Firstly. let me point you here. for what i reckon is a very good short story.. haha. something fashioned out of the wizard of oz.. haha

today's physics was ok i guess.. but i kinda have no more mood to study anything anymore.. went into physics readily unprepared.. which means i am ready to take it cos i have no mood to prepare it any further after studying for its paper 3 aegis ago.

so.. 2 more to go...

and after that... fun awaits.. oh wait... there's still the a levels...

haha.

till nxt time..

for now..

fifa.

Sunday 16 September 2007

Filed

Well.. 3 more papers to go.. and slacked through the wkend. which was cool.. considering how little i slacked these days.. as in truly slack... haha

but despite slacking.. or as i put it.. i did more potential growth rather than actual growth and reaped significant EOS.. damn proud of myself.. should get some kind of medal for it.. for the first and most probably the last time in my entire life as a uniformed student. i packed my files.. wait.. did i just packed my files?.. haha. i actually did it. lol. something i once thought impossible have been accomplished.. haha. though much of the tutorials and stuff are missing.. but at least it is a full set.. haha.. cept for econs.. er.. dun tok bout it So you can see it here.. all packed into files.. Maths.. Chem.. Physics.. and yes.. i do know what is missing... dun mention it.


and yeah.. nice skies. .haha. esp this one gives teh illusion that there are mountains with ice caps in singapore.. haha. which is darn cool imho. and the one below has some colours at the corner.. creating sort of a aurora effect kind of thing. and the cloud does look nice..




anyway. yeah. tt's all 4 now.. nxt paper on tues.. haha. So till then.

till nxt time.

Romance of the 3 kingdoms

It has been a long week with the prelims.. and yeah. its now the slacking time... yeah. haha

but for now.. middle earth needs saving..

[update 9.18pm] Just returned from middle earth after an epic battle with Ran and zhou where we played out the fate of the romance of the three kingdoms. In the start we were 3 fighting for the same side against the computer.. then as the story goes.. Liu, Cao and Sun divided into 3 seperate factions of their own and fought a great epic battle on their own.. but unlike them and unlike any thought otherwise.. there was no colloboration anywhere and we fought out a great fight.. The riders of Zhou and the archers of Ran vs The trolls and fire drakes of mine..Near death i did on one occasion when ran overrode my hometown and i was forced to flee to my second home (northwest corner) where i rebuilt and tried to re-establish my control of the lairs. with the help of my trusty fire drake and the pure loyalty of my trolls as well as the heroic deeds of the dragon, the spider and the troll heroes leading the way for every noble attack and being the last to retreat for every desperate retreat which sadly resulted in them dying more than a fair amount of time. The game started well.. with i zhou and ran exchanging early exchanges with the creeps at our bases... after we all developed our troops to a certain level. the battle begin and sadly for zhou.. by coincidence.. we attacked him first.. which caused him to malign us for colloborating when we did not.. However the battle was not well fought as we both retreated on his call of this and i diverted my firedrakes to ran's lair. where they all perished without a trace... thus i retreated to my base and rebuilt.. and was raided from time to time by zhou or ran... sometimes simultaneously.. but never both... and i rebuilt.. and seeked the dragon from his lair and built a strong army of trolls and bigger trolls.. and just when the battle reaches its climatic best where i and ran were tangled in the battle of the river where he tried to invade my newly rebuilt hometown. and i sent in my troops to defend and just when the battle is climaxing with both of us summoning troops... and as i prepared the kraken.... my father returned and i was forced to press the reset button on my com.. thus ending the battle in an very anticlimatic way.. like the romance of the 3 kingdoms.. there was no losers.. no winners.. only 3 equals who may have conquered the world if they were on a single side. haha.

yeah..

great game zhou n ran.. haha.. do it again soon..

Wednesday 12 September 2007

Its half way point of the prelims. and frankly.. my high hopes seem to be fading away.. guess like the club i support.. the FA cup final.. or in my case the A last term... is more of an anomaly than a stepping stone to higher ground.. and now i find myself fighting relegation again.. but west ham had tevez as a trump card.. but i dun think i have any trumps or aces to play. haiz. espcially with my slackiness.

sian.

should try study now.

Monday 10 September 2007

1 down.. many more.

Well. Physics is over. and the only reason i am here right now is cos i cant get econs into my head. now really fear for it. really unprepared for econs.. the rest of the subjects i would say i am somewhat ok and ready for it.

like today's physics.. most of my fears before it was sort of unfounded.. but i guess i should not try predict my grades or anything cos well.. grades are unpredictable as say quantum physics.. or even less predictable than the position WHU will finish this season.. but it did went well.. sort of... a low A may not be beyond reach.. for this paper at least considering that i checked.. but dunno.. no promises to deliver.

Anyway. tomorrow's maths n Econs.. maths should be ok.. well.. econs.. nope. not not sure. is totally unsure. haiz.. and i am still here..

BFME-ed with Ran just now.. great escape from all this shit called prelims.

but now feeling slightly guilty.. haiz..

so yeah..

till nxt time.

1 down.. many more to go...

Sunday 9 September 2007

Prelude of Prelims

well. tomorrows the day.

Nope. it aint the a levels just yet. but i guess this prelims is equally important.. after all.. i may have to apply using this results first.

but dunno.. like always.. this part of me feels unready.. like as though in magic u still have mana to tap.. but dunno wad to tap for.. but guess mayb this is better.. at least i dun mana burn? haha. tt's a lame way to put it.. but yeah.

Hope i can pull it through man.. not pass.. that should be in the bag.. but i guess i'm aiming for an A even however hard i dun admit it.... like after CT2.. i guess... ACES. ASSEMBLE!!. yeah.

inspired to do well.. esp after i am such a failure in so many other parts of my life.. guess its time to pull myself together and do it well this time.. yeah.

well.. so tt's all for now.. good luck fellow prelim takers..

and.. till nxt time

Tribute to Pavarotti




Today. the world loses yet another great singer. Luciano Pavarotti. One if not the greatest of the greatest tenors. One who have never stopped singing. One who brought opera and football as one in the 1990 world cup. One whose voice oozes magic. One who have little to do with me except for the fact that he is a great tenor. And even that is nothing.

And so. To this great man. I salute you. and may you rest in peace.

Guess i will leave it as so today. cos my life aint that interesting.

till nxt time.

Wednesday 5 September 2007

paranoia

This wk is getting to be worst than i thought. was originally darn pissed with overly paranoid parents as well as ultra-packed buses. and after just now. i finally understand the term.. packed like sandwiches. the bus was. no. 12. haha. stupid bus.

anyway. sometimes just feel that my parents are real against me. dunno. plenty of stuff my fault. even their crazy imagination is my fault. what to do.. i am still their son.. haiz.. Breaking free. man. when's my turn to take over my own life and show them who's boss around here. one day. no one's messing wif my life anymore man.

On another note. Prelims are 5 days away. haiz. cant say i really am prepared.. still darn scared.. and i could see the online rates of ppl steadily declining. haiz. scared. real scared.

should go mug.

till nxt time.

Tuesday 4 September 2007

tuesdays and bus drivers.

today is a slack day. haha. failed to swim this morn.. due to rain. and mothers. haha. but tomorrow morn is gonna be a craking morn. haha.

haha. and heard from Jia Ying bout the bus drivers today. haha. made me sort of dream up a story again. haha. and well.. may one day include it in some book i am gonna write. haha. In my story, no bus drivers are voluntary. or at least none of them really are. they may appear to be. but still. they aren't. Slaves of the evil lord they are, and the spies.. sort of like the bowler hat guy kinda personality in meet the robinsons. haha. And you know. on a more real note. haha. never hand anything urs to bus drivers.. however authoratative and 'right' they are. you will never get it back. truth is.. they have no power to make you do so.. so if u get into a tussle.. just drop from the bus.. they cant stop you from going off. though they have sort of some power to block you from coming up. haha. sort of. ppls power.. the other passengers wun be happy..

haha. also understand that bus drivers lead sad lifes. very sad. haha. its a sad job.. mayb some ppl will enjoy it.. but defo not me. haha. Imagine this. years after years of daily driving. same route. some trees. same ppl u see. and all this with only short breaks in between where you hang around at some exclusive coffeeshop with ppl who drove the same routes or if not different routes but same different routes daily. its a boring life to say the least. haha. so gd luck drivers. haha.

nth much else. till nxt time.

Monday 3 September 2007

you know how sometimes u get happy cos something u didn't want to happen really didn't happen, and that something by all means actually dun have anything to do with you at all, doesn't affect you at all but you still wanna blog bout it..Its one of those "someone-else's-business" kinda thing that you can just catch at the turn of your eye accidentally? well, not actually accidentally. And you know how sometimes you just wanna say to ppl, "hey Poozers. U screwed up. big time. All by yourself, well done!!"

haha. today's one of those days. poozers.


Shit that's more than the 2 lines i promised. haha.
