22 August 2009

First and foremost. Will do the stereotype and welcome in the fasting month. Seems surreal but damn, time flies fast. You know, I will keep this blog entry short and sweet. Will endeavor to summarise what's been happening for the past 2weeks. Safe to surmise it will be about street soccer and all. (:


Had field soccer match on the 09August. Pretty much a good game even though we lost horribly. Blame it on me for the five goals that we conceded. Due to my lack of interest in defending, Arm had to cover my holes throughout the match. I'm a great player. heh. -__-
Anywho, ever since that match, it reignites the passion in me. It skyrockets ever since and I dare say I'm on a roll now. Plus, coincidentally, fireworks watching was on the same day too.
On a contrary, frustration will always be my downfall. It struck me that ever since I'm into soccer lately, I tend to get frustrated easily when team-mates are not playing well. But fret not, it will die down as the weeks passes. (:


Anywho, normal thursday routine. Yat scored a wonder goal. Yes, I'm sparing space for this player that people love to ridicule on the pitch. Will always rmbr that goal for sure, mainly because I thread a perfect ball for him. *insert narcissistic self*
And how I love the performance of the team. Be it a win only on that day out of 3 or 4 matches. But it is in essence that we improve overtime. (:


Final soccer session on 20Aug before fasting month. Finally, after countless amount of horrendous-out-of-propotion gameplay, we won a total of 5matches. (: Lost 2, Won four in a row. Yat won 3 of the games for us. (Y) And I finally took the goalkeeper position after so many months. I think I'm ready to commit myself in between the posts.
Anywho, never felt so good winning four matches in a row. Do take into consideration that we are playing without Arm. Hmm, maybe gameplay will be better with Arm in it? Or maybe worse? But he will be in for a surprise when he joins us back. hoho.
Nevertheless, pretty much an uncanny performance from a bunch of players who seems to be defeated easily every week. heh.


Okay, enough of soccer. (:
Had 6 pan of pizza at Pizza Hut on 20Aug. Treat from boss to us IAP students for being efficient? I don't know, but all I know was that he wanted to show his appreciation. AND it struck me, I didn't bade goodbye to him. A person of his stature, got to admit, I admire his ability to maintain composure at all times.
And 21Aug was my final day. It will be pretty obscure for abit, as I'm so used to waking up early in the morning for the pass 3months. Oh, punctuality is not an issue anymore. Seriously. (: Be it I'm half-dead in the morning, I will always be earlier than some of my colleagues. Had a little chit chat with two of our close colleagues before they send us off. Having them expressing their gratitude was enough to make all those 12weeks worthwhile.


Went Vivo for an impromptu window-shopping. Had LJS for dinner. (: Slack at the rooftop and headed home soon after. My eyes are pretty much pleading for a good sleep but I don't feel like turning in yet. :x
Hmm, someone got a PDA! TSK! I need to get my own PDA. iTouché is not PDA-like enough for me. And I literally stare at a stranger who was using a Nokia N97. It was a sight to behold, minor bit of exaggeration but still it's really something to be proud of when it's in your palms. OKAY! I'm contented with what I have but I can't seem to dither this liking for better technologies. Anyway, somewhat wrap up my 21Aug. In all, I'm done. Hmm, left with one study semester before I don my graduation gown and hat.


Till then, have a good rest netizens. I will be on my computer till 0500? God knows. I might doze off after this. (:




p/s: I will get myself a PS3 slim. (:

Debacle, Reality Check, Hypocrisy

August is here. (: And here comes my once-a-month entry. For the moment, bear with it. I will get out of this phase one day.


Anyway, to state something that is brazenly obvious can be pretty annoying at times. I seem to have issues with hypocrisy. I do admit that everyone is a hypocrite one way or another, but the level of hypocrisy one person can bring can be really, oh-so-really, amazing. Seriously, this kind of people have issues. I came across this fanpage at Facebook about anti Minahs and such. This is one of the causes for today's blogpost.


Anywho, reality check. It's not a walk in the park to appease a person, what else if it's a crowd. I can't grasp the meaning of this "movement." Seriously. Even though I have my moments of saying "Melayu pe," tentatively speaking I'm refering to something that is there, and meant to be like that. In another word, he/she is a Malay. My gut feeling gave me this notion that this "groups" are created out of anger. Maybe a helpless plea for help.


Reasons being a helpless plea? Enumerate the "reality checks," without fail, they are scattered in every corner of Singapore. Can't help but notice that these people love to give that dirty stares. Be it they are an actual Mat/Minah or the antonymous to it. Their presence can be felt from nautical miles away, like how a woman can see an insecure men from afar[seriously, i'm not sure] and etcetra.


The list goes on but maybe these group of people may trigger something within a normal person that make them, feeling rather queasy. And remember how we love to complain to our mom when we were young when someone bullied you, somehow or somewhat this movement gave me this weird reminiscence. -___- Anywho, maybe this kind of "movement" existed due to their ever-growing population or they are able to stand out. Be the judge.


Nevertheless, I feel that the group promotes rather unfriendly remarks towards their own kind. Apart from that, it epitomizes hypocrisy. And I hold to this sentiment of mine that everyone have a different perception and definition of a Mat/Minah. In any way, some are born to be too natural for their own good. [points to self][part ni dah world]


I think I'm done with that issue. *views previous post*


Okay. Rode Singapore Flyer on Friday. Jubilant-ism. And as per normal, got lost. Can't find the shuttle bus, which lead us to walk all the way to Clarke Quay and board a bus from there. Took the 2030hours ride. (: First and foremost, heights can be an issue at times to me. Recollect myself before enjoying the magnifiqué view. Seriously, when's the IR going to end construction? Admire the structure of the building, but didn't see much at night, I didn't even notice the F1 track. But finally I get to catch the full view of Floating Platform. (: In all, pretty fun going full circle in half hour. On hindsight, it cost me $10. Parts and parcels of being a student.


Had Popeye after ride. The only turn off is that their large drink is equivalent to KFC's medium. Being me who constantly upLARGE his drink, feels rather corny to drink medium. I won't get sick of their whipped potato. It's a must to consume. *eyebrow raising*

Reached home midnight and mom was pretty unhappy about my late nights. So yeah, stayed home during the weekend. (: A filial son. hahahahahahahahahaha. Can't believe I said that in my head. And I plan to get a DSLR. Another stereotypical act. But I feel I need it as I don't have an actual camera and DSLR are so squarish and cute. And their fish-eye function is something that I have wanted to play with. =P


Anywho, I'm off. Been yawning for a good 10minutes or so. The bed's calling. But I doubt I turn in anytime soon. (: Till then, toodles.
