New Phone New Photos

Yay !! I finally got a new mobile phone.I didn't want to write it here that I might be getting one earlier cos I didn't want to jinx it.But I got it after all.Its a Sony Ericsson W550i and I also realised that most of the people in my close group of friends had mobiles of the same brand,despite having bought them at different times.A weird coincidence.

Soccer these past few days has been okay.Very erratic form.I play well one day and not-so-well the next.I tackle better though.Hope to keep that aspect up.

I've cooled down on MJ these past few days.It helps that I haven't been seeing her.I barely do anyway.The real test on how I feel about her will come when I see her.Till then I don't really have much to report on about her.Maybe except that she posted new pics on her MSN MySpace.I don't how I should feel about that.Yeah,she looks (very) nice but I'm not really that affected because I know that I should be forgetting her cos she doesn't really think too much about me.

Gonna put songs in my new phone now.Forget about MJ.My thought of the day.And it should be for the days to come.

Movie Mania !!

I have watched 2 movies in 2 days!

Narnia:The Lion,The Witch and The Wardrobe,hereafter known as Narnia,on Monday and King Kong & Tuesday.

Narnia

Narnia was a good adventure movie.The acting of Georgie Henley who played the youngest of the Pevensies,Lucy was definitely a highlight.She was very delightful

Narnia's world was very mysterious and I felt the intrigue of the siblings as they discovered the magical world of Narnia and I was drawn into the aura of the Aslan,The Lion.Rather than looking into the parallels with Jesus that people made,I would rather believe that the sacrifice of Aslan would be somthing that anyone would hope to have the courage for if such a sacrifice was needed.

The kids' bravery in battle is commendable but it simply isn't believable.I tried to just lose myself into the battle scenes but they were just plain and nothing special.It major battle wasn't that great and aside from one or two acts of valiance,the kids did nothing too special(then again they are just kids)

I later went to see the Narnia book for the 1st time and was very surprised to find out how small the chapters were.3 chapters were squeezed into 600+ pages I think.Not mcuh material to work with.

I'll be kind and say 3 stars out of 5.Possibly even 21/2 stars...fi i'm not.


King Kong

The movie starts off slow but it isn't really that bad cos we get a peek into the Depression in America. But skipping ahead..

You know what I feel about Kong? He's just a dude.Just like any man,except that he weighs a ton and is 25 feet tall.Other than that he shows many traits of a man.He meets a girl he gets all confused over for she is nothing like he's ever seen before.He digs her and likes her loads and protects her from the dinosaurs that seen her as a meal.Even when he is at the city when he is shackled,he frees himself to look for her and is a little jealous of Jack Driscoll,(Adrien Brody) who plays Ann Darrow's(Naomi Watts) human love interest.Kong eventually,for some reason,kills himself by falling off the tallest building in New York,because of her.I think its cos he knows that there was no way that they could ever be together without endangering her and there was no way he could be free in the wild like before so he killed himself.Touching.

Ann Darrow was one of the most bravest characters I have ever seen on screen,not only to fight the dangers she sees but also to fight herself and to conquer her fears and to trust that she would not be harmed by the beast.

Jack Driscoll is also brilliant cos the dangers he faced must show that he really fancied and cared about Ann Darrow.Not many men would chase after a girl in the captivity of a beast.Commendable gallantry.Courage like his is what I wish for.

There were many good scenes but one that I liked was the one were the humans were running away from teh brontosauruses who themselves were running away from the raptors.What followed was a mad dash over crazy jungle terrain and dinosaurs running into each other and falling down and trodding on many a raptor.Its scary to see how many close calls the tumbling humans had to avoid being squashed by dinosaurs rolling downhill,though some did not escape the heavy beasts.Imagine running/falling down a hilly jungle while trying to avoid meat-eating raptord and super-big falling brontos.Phew,my fave scene.

Among many others.What about a slug that swallowed a man's head whole?Or a face-off between Kong and T-Rex(not just one)

What a movie...worth every cent.The emotion,the action,the story and the acting.Everything was sublime.Kudos to Peter Jackson.

5 stars out of 5.*****

=- That's the end of the movie reviews,will be back next time with the usual daily stuff.Till then,adieu mon amis...-=

Going Into Rehab

The day went pretty well.Out and about through town the whole day,I came back to a football on the telly and an easy victory for Man United.
3-0.Next game please.

For some reason,during the game,I happened to look down at my bellybutton and suddenly thought about what kind of bellybutton she had,whether it was an innie or an outie...Hmmph,her crush would be the one to find out soon.

I wanted to buy her chocolates from the airport cos I know she likes chocolates(they have really good ones there) but she probably wouldn't have cared and that would mean that me spending $20-30 dollars would have been a waste.It was supposed to be a New Year's gift(since I don't celebrate Christmas)Maybe her crush can get her those chocolates.

Oh by the way,that's my latest attempt to force myself to forget about.I'll just think about the fact that she likes someone else to make myself stop thinking about her,even though I myself have been driven like all over crazy,turned upside down inside out head over heels in love with her...too bad.

There are times when I've missed her but I'm forcing myself to move on.
Like in the bellybutton story above and also last evening,when I realised when I was lying down I realised that I didn't just like her but I loved her or was infatuated with her rather.How else could I explain all those emotions.They don't come that way if I just plainly liked her.

I realised that having her as my crush,I wouldn't care about others.Its the same feeling she has when she is thinking about her own crush,so she wouldn't care about others too.Others like me.

On the day of the incident where I pushed her bro by accident(I swear I was just trying to shrug him off) I also told her bros that she had a crush because I was trying to tell them why it was no point in me liking their sister.They must have let it slip or something,maybe during an argument and apparently it was supposed to be a secret(the crush and the blog) so now she's mad at me.

After knowing all this,I just threw my hands up.It seems that no matter where I turned,things screwed up.Everything I tried to do to make things happen between me and her usually had no effect or made things worse by accident.Nothing I did was good enough and all it brought me was dissapointment.

I hope,that God will be kinder to her and not allow her crush to bring her on such an emotional rollercoaster that she has brought me on these past few months.

Good luck with YOUR crush MJ.

Spare A Thought

At this exact point,the time on my cable TV receiver is 12.43 am.43 mins into Christmas Day.How do I feel ? Where do I want to be ? What do I want to do ?.

The weekend is as expected.It blows.So far,because of events that can be deemed catastrophic(which I don't feel like talking about right now) I am kinda dealing with the fact that its so boring and lonely and I don't feel good even thouGh there were moments I saw on the TV that made me want those things.

Then I though real hard.If I have to spend it alone(not really alone,its just that I don't have anyone special) then I have to deal with it and see how I can make sure other people spend this time of the year in a way that is positive.

I thought of those kids in Africa.You know how in movies you see a person,a humanitarian,that would be helping those kids? Yeah sure they do not get the concept of Christmas but it just got me thinking,'why not help them irregardless of what race or religion they are ?"Evenif I myself am not one that celebrates Christmas,the festive periods are when people like these miss out.I wanna hopefully one day have enough money or other resources make my contribution.Maybe by helping village kids get an education or just teach them how to have fun as kids,just by giving them a place to play something like soccer,something I find so much joy in.

God-willing I will able to make thsi wish of mine come true one day.I'm not a celebrity working for a cause.This is just my opinion.Does it make me a better person ? No idea.Just wanna do it.

Just because I screw up does not mean that I cannot help make other perople's lives better.

I'm feeling a little down now cos of my own stupid mistakes and I wish I could apologise take back the things which caused things that I never meant for to happen.(Mateys,yall know about this)

The end of the year is coming.One thing about life is that its always has highs and lows.Lets hope that I can end the year and enter the new one on a high.

I Told You I Was Gonna Screw Up !!

The festive weekend is here.Not much to be joyful about.I know I don't celebrate Christmas but this is still a joyous time everywhere and it just reminds me of what a bummer life is.

I didn't go for the last day of school cos I kinda woke up late.Had a late night out in town and got back very late in the wee hours of Friday morning.Was even later when I fonally hit the sack.Sure I didn't miss too much.A one week break will do me a world of good cos it will cool me off Roswell Girl.Just recalling on how during the debate,when wanting to whisper to a friend of whom I was in between,she put her hand across my legs (I was sitting) to get support from the edge of my chair and pulled her face and body right in front of mine and told her point.We were super close at that point.By doing that she made it real hard for me to forget about her.

Played soccer again today.MJ came but AS USUAL I SCREWED UP.MJ's lil bro was playing around with me and in my attempts to shrug him off,I pushed him too hard (he's A LOT lighter than I expected...) and he fell hard to the floor,just as she was walking off to go home.

Yeah dude,real smooth.Physically cause harm to the lil bro of the gal that you like.....I'm sure she'll really like you then...real smooth,dumbass.

Then again,I was sure that I was gonna screw up.That I did.

Have no plans till Monday,I plan to watch The Chronicles of Narnia with an old schoolmate and just hang for lunch at the airport,Maybe I'll be watching rented movies at a mate's place on Tuesday.

But what do I do for the weekend? Almost everybody else is busy with Christmas.No weekend soccer too.For that I gotta wait till Monday night.

'Its tearin up my heart when I'm with you.When we are apart I feel it too.No matter what I do I feel the pain.with or without you' - N'SYNC.

The above lines are how I felt about MJ when I saw her just now.When she's in front of me I don't say a word cos I'm afraid that she'll just ignore me or say something negative but I think about her when she's away.

But one thing I''m scared of is that she'll go from not caring to hating me cos the guys keep making fun and teasing her with the fact that I like her.

Weekend looks like its gonna blow.Can't wait for Monday.

Grazie Signorina

I'm finally done with the debate.It went okay at first but I was getting more and more nervous towwards the end.But you know what? Its done and over with so I don't care anymore.All that is left is one more presentation.

2 more days of school left :) I just got my monthly allowance but I'm not looking to spend any of it.Hopefully I will not spend too much before I get the cash that my sister owes me.

Remember how I said that Roswell Girl is just a friend? Well she still is but last Monday,she started playing around with me and 'acting-flirting' with me.Cute.Fun too.She's super cute and pleasant so its real funny that me and her are a 'couple'

Yes,part of me wishes that it was real but I have to be realistic.Sides,she's got a boy already and she's not the one I want.By doing that,she gives me a window where I can look and see how it would be like if I did have a real flirt with a gal.I have to admit that by the end of the 1st day I was almost drawn it but the next day when Roswell's boy came to pick her up I was jolted back into reality,again realising how good they looked together.So now,or from today,rather,I take the flirting as playful fun.Kinda makes the day in school more interesting.Thanks babe.

Hey Bella ! Over Here !

Its a Sunday so that means that there are only 5 more days of school left before the Christmas break.Can't wait.Can't wait to take a breather.

I've been having it tough in school but in a different way.Instead of assignments and paperwork,I now have to deal with skits,presentations and practical work.I was part of a skit that was in front of 6 classes ! But I did not screw up my part.I was nervous but I did not let that stop me.It was pretty fun and it sets me up well from a solo presentation on Monday.There is also a debate on Friday,not too sure how to go about that.For one module I will have to be part of an event as a volunteer,again not too sure what kind of event.Its not been confirmed yet.So that's a lot of different things that I have to deal with.

I think I played well enough yesterday.An error or two but nothing too major.Scored a goal that I was pleased with but I should be more pleased that I was able to read some of the trickery of the attacking players.Not all but some and that's better than none.

I'm gonna get my cash for the next month after the 21st,in a couple of days.Plus I'm gonna get back all the money my sis borrowed from me.I think I'm not gonna buy a game console but instead I'll buy a new handphone.I do need that more than I do a game console.

I wonder if MJ's crush is on one of the guys that I play soccer with.I think it'll be less of a blow if it was someone I don't know at all.If its with a guy that I know or play soccer with,I admit its gonna be a little awkward for me.

But just me.Cos she wouldn't care how I feel.Its weird how you can like someone so much but she doesn't even care that you are around and its liek you don't even exist to her.

I know that I act different and may seem less than nice when I'm around her but that's only because I screw up,get nervous around her and cos I don't know how to act around her.Its fine when I talk to other gals,the ones in my school.Its just cos I like her.HOPE SHE KNOWS THAT WHENEVER I ACT STUPID ITS NOT ON PURPOSE.

But right now it seems no matter what I do or say can seem to make her notice I'm alive.Her crush must be some special guy.Good for her I guess...I'm not putting myself down.If she doesn't like me its all because God decided so.

Funny how some of my mates tell that that me that saying her name feels weird.Some just don't bother trying and just come up with their own version.What's so difficult I do not know.Just say her name right guys.

Wish MJ knew that I am and always will be a willing friend.

We may live seperate lives but I would like to be the kind of guy that has time for his friends.All they need to do is be a friend back.I'm not boasting cos I know I screw up.I have before and by the will of God I will again.

Anyways..5 days of school left... :)

Little Only By Name

Turns out I didn't even touch a soccer ball on Friday.I came home from school and and left almost immediately to catch Chicken Little wih a mate and MJ's 2 bros.

Realised I couldn't expect too much nothing more.In terms of animation movies,it doesn't really compare with Finding Nemo.But one thing the movie has is a lot of heart,thanks to the title character Chicken Little who's quest for acceptance from his hero of a father and validity from the community as a worthy individual winner despite his small size makes him very endearing.

The story isn't as developed as I would like it to have been and it was too short (1hr20mins) but it still is very enjoyable.Aided by his wacky but loyal friends,he gets through the tough times and gets the chance he needs to make it right.It works out well as it should but its especially nice to see it happening to someone as 'well-intentioned but unfortunate' as Chicken Little.Enjoyable and personally heartwarmimg.3 out of 5 stars.

I have to play soccer later.Not really looking forward to it.Not as much as yesterday.Just want to slack around and then go back home to catch the Man Utd v Villa game.Really looking forward to it,especially after the midweek game where we won 4-0.

MJ? If she's there later,good.If not,never mind.

Accidently saw pics of her on her bros' digicam.She looked quite good but obviously I would say that,wouldn't I? I wanna get my pics of that same digicam.I have way too few pics of myself.

Fridae Importante

It was worth staying up on Thursday morning to watch the Man Utd v Wigan game at 4am.Running out 4-0 winners,the Red Devils made it look easy against a good Wigan team.

Can't wait for Friday.No special reason.Its just that I wasn't around last week and I'm also looking to redeem myself after less-than-sterling perfomances as last man and goalie.Especially as last man.About MJ,not sure I want to see her but that's only because I think she doesn't really care to see me.Bummer indeed.

I know that another mate that I play soccer with,Ras,likes her too and to be honest I don't know why MJ would pick if me if she didn't pick him when he told her he liked her.

MJ's Christmas wish is for her own crush to like her.If I can't get her then I wish her wish comes true even though that would mean that if it did happen then there would be no way my wish would come true.Yeah,I feel she doesn't think too much of me as a friend but that doesn't mean that I have to do the same.I still wish her all the best and hope that she can just look my way and smile and wave if and when she happens to see me every once in a while.

The Choices That We Make

Can anyone feel abysmal? I don't think its the right word to use but somehow it just feels sorta right.Brings back memories of Joey trying so hard to use the partcular word in an episode of Friends.Funny stuff that.

MJ came down on Tuesday with a gal pal of hers.Played soccer.Stunk.I was pretty bad or at least more than usual.Yeah,sure,I make all the good saves when she's not even there.But I klutz up when she's the opposing goalie.Execllente.I'm sure she'll be real impressed.

Why do I always screw up in front of her ?I guess I just feel pressured.And,I think I pushed one of her friends a little(a lil nudge nothing major) without realising it till later.Its only right for me to apologise even if it is rather belated.

I don't know why I act so different around MJ.Well I do now actually after talking i over with me mates but its a wonder,the way I act around MJ is not the same as compared to the Malay gals in my class.The latest they've complimented me on is about how patient I am(they do test) and how the gal I get is lucky that way. Given a choice,I'd rather

Then how come I act so different when I'm around MJ?If a mate makes fun of her, I have 3 options.1) Defend her,2) Show support to my mate for the joke and 3) Keep quiet and not say anything.

If I do 1),she'll think that something's up and that I'm trying to suck up to her or something.If I do 2),then she may get angry with me and if I do 3),she won't even notice me and then not talk to me at all.Hence,this is my dilemma.

I never know what to do or say around her and I just screw up.That's all I seem to do around her.If I've ever done anything wrong without realising it I certainly would like to have the chance to apologise.Not sure how I'm gonna get a chance to do that.Don't think she cares that much about me,even as a friend.She doesn't seem to want to act like one around me,choosing to ignore me or not talk alot to me.

Please,I beg the fates to be kind to me.To save me from saying anything stupid and for her to be cool enough to talk to me and make it easy for me.

Mr Darcy & Elizabeth Bennet

Yesterday was kinda fine.I didn't play soccer but I managed to do some other stuff.It started out pretty mundane but it ended up okay.

I was so bored that I decided to catch a movie on impulse.I went with a mate.No disrespect but I would think that Pride and Prejudice wouldn't be a movie I would watch with a dude.But we might catch Chicken Little with the rest of the gang later on in the month and Aeon Flux's next showing wasn't at a suitable time.So we ended up watching Pride & Prejudice.

Personally I don't think I would have been drawn to watch it had it not been for the fact that Keira Knightley was potraying the famale protagonist Elizabeth Bennet.It was a couple kinda movie and there were loads of couples round me but I had to perish that thought.Sitting in the first row did not help the in the pursuit of the enjoyment of the movie but the story prevailed as I was brought into the world of Victorian England where love and marriage was the order of the day.

The movie itself was different from what I would have gone to watch but I guess that worked out positively.Eliza Bennet was a fiesty mind,out of place in a place where everyone did what they were told with grace and manners of the highest order were standard protocol.Yet all this time she was still sucked into the whirlpool of romance and love.and played games of hard to get with the seemingly arrogant Mr Darcy.True feelings were finally shown after being hidden by many complications and love prevailed.Great comedy was sneaked in at different points of the movie making it very enjoyable.Since this is the first time I'm watching such a movie,a period drama,I would say that I enjoyed it very much.4 out of 5 stars.

I did so despite the fact that by the last quarter of the movie I was actively thinking about MJ.I saw lots of situations that almost mirrored my own situation but I still managed to look past it and enjoy the movie.Keira Knightley being on the screen helped.Horrible indigestion after the movie made me feel real crummy but even that went away after a while.Ended the day playing cards with a couple of the guys.

So the day turned out fine after all.Its gonna be a busy week next week but as of Monday it will only be 12 more days to the school break so at least there's some sort of finish line or checkpoint at least that I look forward to.

Deal With It Man !!

Its Saturday and I'm looking to put this week behind me.A victory for Manchester United tomorrow night will go a long way in putting things right.

Its weird now,the thing with MJ.She's got a new crush I feel crappy and it was made worse by the Man Utd loss on Wednesday.So it then kinda piled on.I do admit I do sometimes wonder why stuff just didn't happen for me.I haven't seen her in a long time except for a cameo and I expect her absence around me to continue.Am I okay with that? Well,even if I'm not I have to find a way to deal with it and be okay about it.

Whoever this crush of MJ's is,he'd better give her what I could never get.An open-minded friendliness that would make it so much easier for MJ.I would not want to wish what happened to me onto her.

I have a good Saturday to look forward to even if I end up not playing soccer.For once,I actually got up early enough for a McDonalds breakfast.I'd probably rent a couple of VCDs too.We've got football on the telly at night and that's always good.

Good luck with your crush MJ...

I've Had Better Weeks

Its a Friday.Usually I look forward to this day of the week but not this Friday.Its been a pretty miserable-sounding week for me.They are 'downers' but I'm coping with them and not really as affected as I usually would be.

I haven't been playing much soccer lately.That's kind of okay but I do miss the atmosphere.

Manchester United crashed and burned,resulting in the club being kicked out of Europe.It got me so depressed that I had no mood to go out,not even to play soccer so I chose instead to bury myself in work at home.The loss has blunted my need to play soccer for the time being.

Haven't seen MJ for quite a while except for a cameo when I came to take back the cds that I lent her.I know she's got a crush now and while I have been dealing with it not too badly,its kind of built up and my mood has been further dampened because of it.

All that just adds up and while I haven't really been in a bad mood,it makes me feel rather gloomy.

This bites,big time.I have to look for a way to bounce back from these bummers but I don't really know how.I'm coping with the MJ situation but to say that it has had side effects would be an understatement.I'll get through it but I'm gonna need a little help and a little time.A United victory this weekend may also help my mood especially if its a comprehensive one.More on the MJ situation another time.

Getting Through An Impossible Day

Today is just one of those days where it just seems impossible.Impossible to be patient.Must be the frustration about MJ.I know,I am trying to move on and all that but today I was just like crabby and unhappy about the whole thing and questions raced through my mind.

Why did God make me the way I am instead of another,better way.I know God has His own reasons,every once in a whle,I just wonder ya know..

Watching MTV's Laguna Beach only made it worse.It makes me sound very shallow and superficial, I know but like I said its just one of those days.Some really cute girls in that show though.

No worries,I'm just feeling blue I guess.It'll wear off.I know it and tomorrow is a new day.Its just so darn hard to keep my head up all the time.Game's on the telly later.Can't wait.Maybe more on the match's results another time.

Heard On Monday

Had good games at goalie on Sunday and Monday.Especially Monday.Had a run outside of the D as well and scored 2 goals.No biggie I know but its been a while since I scored cos I'm goalie most of the time.Plus we were playing against 3 of the top technicians in our team,barring one who wasn't there.Granted,we were a man up but it was the manner in which we played against such trickery was what made it surprisingly pleasimg.I was no slouvh in defence as well,did better than expcted.But you know what,I think I'll stick to being a goalie for a while more.

Earlier in that particular day,I was standing in the goal and Noah,the younger of MJ's bro was standing on top of the back of the goal which sticks out.MJ was walking yp the pavement that led to the stairs in their block and Noah,without thinking shouted loudly,''Khairul, my sister !!"
A grimacing moment for me indeed.It was loud enough for her to hear.It was said by a mate that she looked back to what her bro said.Wonder how she feels...freaked out most probably.

I thought they no longer kept track of my blog but Monday,as the day was winding down,Dominik,the older of the 1 brothers,told me that he read my blog as recently as Dec 01.He read the particular post Tired, Hungry & In Need Of A Movie'.It was the first time we openly discussed the fact that I liked his sister.

I told him that it doesn't matter what I do as she'll never like me and plus,she's in love with someone else.That I know for sure.I wonder who he is..lucky guy.

So what I'm not gonna deny Iike her.No matter how much I try I will never get her to like me back.She doesn't even say hi to me when she sees me online on MSN Messenger.

Don't worry Dominik,you don't have to worry about me being your sister's boy cos its looking like its not gonna happen.

I really can't understand the concept of asking someone to be your stead if you think that person is nice-looking.When couples go steady,its usually after they've gone out and gotten to know each other very well.But somehow where I come from,being someone's stead can happen just like that.If I wanna go steady with a girl,I would want to know the girl,what she's about and like her loads before asking her to go steady.

MJ's MSN nick apparently goes something like 'Make my wish comes true.All I want for Christmas is you.' I know I don't celebrate Christmas but I don't care.I wish that her wish comes true.I wish it could be me that makes it happen but the important thing is at least one of us will be happy in this upcoming festive period.

YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME !!

For some reason I couldn't use the copy and paste function so I'll just type out what I saw word-for word.

I reali want someone.im not desperate.but I reali want someone hu takes care of me.n never lets me go.gosh! i miss tat feeling n xcitement when u have a bf. gosh !

my bestii ammarah(one of her friends) juz told me this.LET LOVE FIND U. it juz turns me on.its reali a gd quote.hope my love finds me fast. gosh!

SHE'S GOT TO BE KIDDING ME !!

Well,to be honest I haven't exactly tried to find her but there have been hints...

Would I be able to give her what she's looking for.I know for sure that I would do so and if I can't I would give it my best shot.I would be there to be the shoulder that she cries on and try to make her happy days more joyous with a joke or two.I would pray to God for the strength to stay loyal and be there when she needs me,tp catch her when she falls and never let go.

But I think she's only saying that cos she has a crush on someone.She saying stuff that I would say regarding her.

I guess,its just that,she wants someone.just not me....

If she does know that I like her then I sincerely hope that she doesn't think of me as the typical irritating guy that chases her just because I can.I want her to know that I can be there for her if she needs me..

Maybe God can help me pass my message even though I feel that I don't deserve his help...

Up A Little Earlier Today

Absolutely no idea why but felt like getting up when I opened my eyes from bed at 10 AM.So here I am.On most Satudays I'd be sleeping for 2 more hours till noon.Maybe I'll jump back in to bed after this cos there's nothing else to do except blog of course.

MJ's review for How To Deal wasn't actually very good.To be honest I shouldn't really expect it be.It really isn't that good.The only reason I watched it is cos of Mandy Moore.But if she doesn't like 'A Walk To Remember' at least a little bit then I don't know what to say.Gimme a gal like 'Jamie Sullivan'(Mandy's character) anyday.

I want to rent and watch 'The Notebook'.The movie was made from a book that was written by the same author that wrote A Walk To Remember,Nicholas Sparks.I don't know whether it will be as good as A Walk To Remember,in a different way cos it has its own story but I hope that I will end up liking the movie very much.

I finally watched Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle.It was dumb,good humor.Highlight of the movie for me? Paula Garces.How come everytime I see her I wish for a Hispanic girlfriend just like her.She's actually in her early 30s but looks like a cute,teenage girl,maybe its just the way she looks that perople think she's younger than she is.Doesn't look like she had plastic surgery either.Not on her face at least.Guess that she was just born to look that way.

Now I don't know what to do.I guess I might fall back into bed if no one else comes online and wait for the better part of the day to roll around.

Oh and I just remember to write..my mom and suis took cash from me but the good news is that I can expect at least $500 at the end of this month when they pay me back.Mom's not giving me allowance this month so she's gonna double it.My sis borrowed $240 for a trip.Looks like I'll be getting a year-end bonus even though I'm not working.

Adieu Angelus

I gave the VCDs over to MJ today through her bro.I really hope that she likes them.Especially A Walk To Remember co s that is my fave.Wanted to borrow 'Chasing Liberty' for her but the guy at the video store couldn't find it.Had to give her Saved!.Haven't watched that one yet myself and not sure whether her mom will let her cos it has an M18 rating.I'll ask her tomorrow.Her bro said she was pleased,not sure if he was just making stuff up.He then even wildly joked that she actually wanted to come down and kiss me but was too slack....yeah right....and I'm the Crown Prince of Denmark..But seriously,I hope she enjoys the movies and make her holidays more fun.

I went up later to take my stuff which I had put upstairs earlier.Was hoping she would come out and say thanks.Not cos I need her to say thank you,none needed.I just wanted to see her and know for sure that she was cool with what I did for her.All I need from her now is a 'hi' and a smile when I see her.But I haven't seen her at all everytime I go up.

Thinking about the times when she was hiding behind the door on 2 previous occasions.Mate says she's shy.I say she's freaked out by me.Great move,Khai.Yeah,like the girl and freak her out,that's a good way to get her...:(

But you know what,thinking about it,I don't need her to do that,although I admit that it would be nice.Just as long as she appreciates what I did than I'm okay.

I don't know but I'm looking to get a little bit of soccer time in at the court on Saturday afternoon.Maybe if I'm lucky MJ will come and say 'hi' liked I wish she would.I really haven't seen her for a long,long time even though she's 'just around the corner'.

I'm gonna go off and watch Angel now.Its the final episode.Ever.Damn.I prefer it over Buffy although Buffy's final season was pretty good.Now Angel's gone too.Bummer.My wish for a Buffy-Angel show alliance against evil never will materialise.Last season was pretty good.This season is not the best especially with key characters ousted but I expect a good,finale.

Adieu Angelus.

Bored, Hungry & In Need Of A Movie

I just came back from school.Bored,nothing much to do.I realised that I haven't played soccer these past 4 days and while I don't really need to I kinda miss the atmosphere at the court which is kinda nice but only if our group is the lone group there and none of the other irritating groups are around.

I really feel like catching Chicken Little.I'd ask MJ but I doubt she would want to go.Wouldn't it be weird if she asked me if I wanted to go?Haha..I wish.For some reason its a bit difficult to get all the guys together for a movie.Maybe I will have to go and watch it alone,just like I did for Goal(the first time anyway)

Another movie that I would really like to watch is Just Like Heaven.I hear its good by romantic comedy standards and the movie gives off good vibes.Its a perfect date movie but since I won't have one I'll just have to watch it just for the sake of watching it,cos there is no date to bring along.

Don't know when I'll be going to get the movies for MJ.Supposed to do it today but I feel a little slack and hungry.Feel like getting Long John Silver's.Maybe I'll get the movie rentals tomorrow after school.Or maybe later if I get too hungry or if its too boring at home.

George Best 1946-2005

Dang,I woke up 20 minutes late for the Man Utd game early this morning and missed 2 goals from Ronaldo and Saha.Shoulda waited for me I feel...naah,just the fact that they scored 2 early ones put them in good nick for the rest of the game.Too bad I missed them.Johnny O'Shea got the 3rd.Thats's 2 goals in 2 games now for him.Good lad.Especially after the defender was singled out by Keane for critisism.

I would like to stop here to wish Roy Keane all the best to all his future footballing endevours and express my gratitude for all his 12 or so seasons of service,which was of an immense standard.Arguably the best player to ever don the Red Devils' jersey,its all good memories about the great leader.

Now that Captain Marvel 2(Bryan Robson was first) has left the club with such shocking hastiness,we need to find a replacement for his position and another replacement as leader of the team.In terms of captaincy,I would pick Gary Neville as captain because he's been at the club so long and has everyone respects him greatly.I'm not dimissing the possibility of Ruud van Nistelrooy as captain I just feel the kind of respect Gary gets is somehow,different.He's grown up with the club,he''s been there all his life and on the pitch he is a consistent performer.I will no doubt raise the ire of those from the Ruud-for-captain camp but be assured that I bear no ill will towards the high-scring Dutchman or the fact that he can become captain.Its just for now in terms of leadership,Gary Neville would be my choice.

Club legend Gerorge Best has passed on .To me he's almost a myth because I wasn't around when he played.I managed to pick up an autobiography of his a few years back and thinking about it now,I was struck by how unassuming and candid he was personally.He may have presented himself differently to the public eye but he was different away from it.Sure,he had a drinking problem but he wasn't a low-life of any sort.He just got on with whatever hard knocks life gave him.That showed on the football pitch,especially against Leeds,led by Norman Hunter,a team full of vicious players who tried to kcik him out of the game.The calm way that he dealt with them surprised me.Many lesser beings would have crumpled up in the face of such calculated violence.George Best not only took them on but beat them,showing that he never was intimidated.Not by his opponents and seemingly not by life either.
