A Short Note

Not much today.

Just that DnD is about a week and a half away and I still haven't gotten my pants and shoes.

Man Utd game on tonight.I want to watch it before heading to school so I will be going to bed soon and getting up at 4am.After the game is done,I'll have to go get ready for school.HRA project roleplay 1st period.Just get it out of the way..

Singapore also had the game against the Thais today.Granted,they don't play a flowing game,not like the European teams but they are my national team regardless.Least I could do is support them.Some sort of patriotic duty I guess.I hope they retain the championship.C'mon fellas.At least the National Stadium won't just be for National Day...

Friday will be the 2nd last lesson for German class.I won't be going for the last one cos it clashes with the DnD so this Friday's will in fact be my last class.

Like I said,not much today.I'm gonna go and knock off into bed soon.Probably be back with more real soon.

Squeaky Bum Time

Oh gosh,I totally wish I could just zombify in front of the telly,with the Prison Break DVD.And especially One Tree Hill Season 1 to 3.I feel like watching this addictive series right from the beginning and every single episode at that,so I'm able to capture everything about the series.

The only time where I showed such inexplicable devotion to a fictional potrayal of life was when I watched Friends.I would worship Star World and their telecast of Friends at 730pm and 11pm daily,5 days a week.I was such a Friend-natic back then,immersing myself in Friends trivia.Been doing that now on occasion,kinda nostalgic.

Channel 5 every Monday at 10 was the best time of the week(other then Man Utd playing on the weekend.)

Alas,now is not the time for self-indulgence.There are many tasks at(on?) hand.

1. Marketing Business Plan project.
2. Human Resource Administration(HRA) presentation.
3. Career Development & Planning(CDP) Business Proposal project.
4. Creative Writing submission.
5. Mic's SGEM performance.
6. HRA CA.
7. Advanced Office Application(AOA) CA.
8. AOA Microsoft FrontPage project.
9. Basic Geman class.
10. 'ITE Cares' DVD launch presentation.

Aw,shit,scheisse...something's with the audio track embedded in my blog.Or it's probably the laptop speakers.

Anyways,yeah,those are the things I have to do for the next 2 months.Some end before 2 months but yeah,those are the things on my plate at the moment.

The Mic SGEM thing is going to be pretty cool.Especially for my mate Imran.He's going to step in my shoes and act in my role,the one I just did for Seniors' Fair last Saturday.The ITE Cares thing is going to be pretty cool.Going to relate my experience being involved in a short docu-film for ITE.Can't believe that I got to work with a real,professional production company for that one.

The AOA Microsoft FrontPage project sounds like fun.Let's hope I'm right.It's going to be difficult I know but hopefully it will be fun as well.

Oh yeah,I got back my Marketing CA results.Not an A but I can still work with a B.

I was watching a gaming programme recently.And I realised it's been long since I played with console games.I will be gunning for an Xbox 360 if I make it to polytechnic.They really have cool games coming soon.

But not now,now isn't the time for it.I need to get all that work done.

Coming Full Circle

Not that much happened in class today.

Though the euphoria that descended upon the class when a particular teacher was made known to be absent has to be noted.

At the CCA meeting,we introduced the new kids to the CCA.Many were absent but have indicated their interest so I hope to see them soon.

The future Executive Committee members were unveiled.Stoked for them.But it was also a poignant moment for me.It reminded me that my journey with the school and CCA would be coming to an end very soon.I know that I won't be part of an experience like this ever in my life again,most definitely not in the education system.

I'm struggling to shape the story for my creative writing.I hope this writer's block will end soon.

Keeping my fingers crossed that I will study later and not be overcome by laziness.I'm trying to procrastinate less when it comes to my studies and I'm kind of sick of the 'lazy-bones' attitude that I have towards it.

Just a little bit more.Just 6 more weeks.And I'll be done with my exams before I know.

Probably going to miss ITE.

Funny.

Never thought I'd say that.

Only On Sundays

I've been feeling just a little off balance every Sunday recently.

After frenetic stuff for most of the week,time seems to move like a snail on crutches during this day.It's a day for me to cruise through stuff.I do have next week's work to prepare but even then I take my time with it.

The peace and quiet is a little unsettling.My time off is spent doing nothing spectacular,just catching up with the mates,something I'm too busy to do during the rest of the week.All the fun I have is when during my CCA,where the charge I get from doing work and occupying myself with all the things that we have.

It's a double-edged sword if I were to ask for varying social experiences on this day.I would have a lot more fun and it will help me relax my mind more.But it will sap my energy and most definitely my money.

Nevertheless,it can be said that my social activities are montone and lack variety.I would like to see that amended to some extent.

I still remember a time when I was struggling to come to terms with the fact that my free time was slowly becoming a rarity.Now I just take the situation as a given.

I'm pretty happy with the way things are.Just tweak my Sundays a little.

What I Keep Telling Myself

I have so much to be thankful for today.

Yes,I did perform in public for the first time in my life,with such a major role.But behind it all,lay a plethora of reasons and incidents that all fell into place that makes me thank God.

I still remember when I was looking for a CCA and I had to join this current one simply because it was the closest to my interests,even then it didn't really match because I would be required to have a sense of daring,something I was pretty sure I didn't have at that point in my life.

But slowly,without realising,I was shaped and moulded(more like conned!) to be ready to act in a role.Along the journey,I learned to find my voice to express the thoughts in my head and not be afraid to arrange them articulately to people.Not just friends but people I just met as well.

And so today,it came to the point where I was only barely nervous about being on stage.I just went out and did what I was told to do,no fuss.It was no disrespect to the task at hand.Rather,I had psysched myself in a way that it seemed just like another day in the drama club.I had one or two seconds of doubt but they dissipated with one or two deep breaths.

I want to say thanks to the teachers and my friends at the CCA for allowing me to express what I had cooped up inside all these years,so fast and furious,somtimes incoherently,haha.

Especially Mdm Salina for believing I had something beneath the reluctant exterior and for believing in me even when I didn't believe in myself.

As for the project and performance,I have to say that it was undoubtedly the smoothest and well-run events that I have been involved in.The propmasters were on the ball and the cast hardly fluffed a line.The mic's were good.But mine was a head mic so I had to be silent all the time.That didn't work out always,when I was backstage.A few gaffes there.

I saw a scene,from afar,at the debrief where everyone was gathered,joking and goofing off.I got kind of sad cos I knew that in a couple of months,this picture would no longer be present in my life,if and when I make it to polytechnic.

I'll probably be proven wrong but the preception I have of polytechnic is that it is a inpersonal and unfeeling place.

I promised myself that I wouldn't include it but I will have to thank Roswell Girl as well.ITE has a lot of good memories for me.When I came to ITE,I thought it well-described my life then.It seemed like I was headed nowhere.But I knew that if I played it right,the only way I could go from there was up.So I did.

If I was lifted then,Roswell Girl has to be the wings that lifted me up.She made school such a joy.She made me have confidence to try again,back at a time when I thought about not being bothered anymore.

So thanks,lil' lady..

I want you to be happy,I love to see you smile so...

I'm happy as long as you are.Just gotta keep saying that to myself.

And I'm sure you are right now.

And like I said,I have a lot to be thankful for right now.

So,it's all good.

The Musings Of Me

Something I came up with from scratch...enjoy!(or not,whatever..)

With a stroke

An artist paints

A story quite compelling

Forgive me for I was not bequeathed the ability

For I am poor and all I have are my poor words

To tell my life,to save my dignity

One like me cannot paint or even draw

Unsurpassed perfection that is the imperfect you

I hope this will suffice

My pain and my agony

My love my story

Come out and hear me

Not enough to stop you in your tracks

I understand

I have nothing but these words

My heart ever present in offering

You had it in your hands

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Foolish Heart & The Angel

O foolish heart

Why did you fall

For the shining star that

Was too high for you to reach

What did you think

When you were told

At tender age

Not too aim too high

Lest you fall too hard

But presist you did

You gave your everything

Now left with nothing

I ask thee

Is this the way the rest of the road will be?

Oh starry angel

What a sight you've been

You took a foolish heart down

With nothing more than a bat

Of captivating eyes

And a swish of lustrous hair

Fly across the sky

Free and untamed

Find your resting spot

In love

That you richly deserve

O foolish heart

U shall remain

At the junction

Of lofty ideals

And broken hearts

And broken dreams

Look up and you shall find

Starry angel across the sky

Remember you the times

When she was so close in your life

Give thanks that you had the chance

To be present

In the presence

Beauty unmatched

Who came and

Left you never quite the same

For you had seen

Quite a sight indeed

O foolish heart

Enough for now

Your day will come

Sometime somehow

If not

At the very least

The starry angel

Had come once into your sullen world

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To Clear The Air

Been catching some Open tennis on the telly.I haven't done that much especially last year's one.I still remember when I was on holiday around this time and got up to watch the early day's matches at 8am.

I've managed to catch a few though.Saw some nice tennis.Not much has changed over the last 2 years.Federer's still on top of the mountain.

Anyways...

After deliberating over the last post,some people may misconstrue my words as rekindled emotions for Roswell Girl,which would be a mistake.

I'm fond of her and I will always appreciate her but I know that we've both moved on.Her with her new guy and me,with,well...me on my own.Not what I wanted but I'm at a good place.

I am sure some other girl will come along and knock me senseless soon enough,presumably in polytechnic.She may or may not be the one.Heck,I could meet her when I'm doing relief work in Africa with the Peace Corps or walking down the rue in Marseilles with a cup of coffee in one hand and a copy of Newsweek in the other.Or maybe at theworld famous Fontana di Trevi in Rome?

As for Roswell Girl,to refute any possible misunderstandings from the last post;she caught me,I loved her within my heart as much as I could be,I appreciate her for what she did to me(how she drove me crazy!) and I never will hate her.

I still say that I am fond of her.

Did you expect my feelings to turn cold as though they never existed?

I fell,she found out,we talked and we've moved on.

She's moved on and I am moving on...

We're friends,that's all.

File It Under F For Fondness...

I had typed about halfway through when my system screwed up so now I have to retype...Puta!

Really want to do this portfolio thing.I'll need it to apply for the Media Communications course in my favoured Temasek Polytechnic.

My Class Advisor isn't really helping.She says that any content in the portfolio that the admission people would wanna look at would not fall under her jurisdiction.Instead she tells me to look to my CCA as the point of reference for the portfolio.This is all well and true but honestly,what's the harm in writing one piece of character testimony to be put inside to add weight to the document.

It would surely help me make my case wouldn't it?

But it's not even final that I will be gunning for this course.There are a few factors to consider.

There is the fact that there are limited career opportunities in an already saturated and.lets face it,judgemental industry.

Secondly,even taking up this course of study is an issue.By doing so I would question whether I would not only be able to survive but rather perform when the time comes.

To use soccer as an analogy,I'm a rather decent player at a modest club.Taking this course would be like joining an elite club,like Man Utd!.I would have to ask myself whether I had the ability to be pushing for a first team place and be playing week in week out or would I be nothing more than a squad player,something I do not wish to be.

I'm sure even the non-soccer-tuned can understand this analogy.

These issues will come to the forefront in due course.I have other things to worry about for now.

I didn't perform as well as I liked for my last CA.No results yet but I just know.I also know that I was capable of a much better performance.I just made it a little harder for myself to achieve my academic targets.I still can but I have to slog a lot,admittedly something that I haven't been doing much of this semester.

You gotta bring yourA-game boy!

I had typed up to the above earlier when the comp got screwey...

Anyways,it's not just me.Roswell Girl has designs on getting that course as well.That's why we're both doing those portfolios.Her other choices also run along with mine.

I think it's cos of how I used to feel about her but I really do have a vested interest in her....interest.I do want her to get into the course of her choice and I will willingly do anything I can to help her.

Nothing creepy though.I mean,I liked her.She found out.We talked.I failed.We moved on.I hope....

I was rather miffed when I was told of the condescending attitude she faced from some people when she enquired about the course and they found out she was from ITE.

It's just that she told me a little of her story and I know that she worked hard to get where she is today and she deserves whatever she wants.

A little biased I know.But I consider her my friend and perhaps a little fond of her as well.Though not like in the past.

I just hope she doesn't mind the fondness part.Even after all that has happened.

Toys We Have

Been doing housekeeping on the laptop.Deleted about 9 GB worth of songs and a couple of videos.That's a lot..it's a start to getting the laptop back to normal instead of this slow-ass pace it's been moving at.

The Marketing CA is tomorrow.After that,interview skills workshop till 5.So I'll miss class for tomorrow.

I have to go for an eye checkup on Tuesday so I'll miss class again.

Not helping my academics,that's for sure.I'm okay with Monday's workshop cos I'll be picking up useful skills but Tuesday's complusory eye checkup is a right pain.

Moving on,here's a thought.

To adapt a quote from the Greek mythical character,Odysseus,King of Ithica who said the following to another Greek hero,the killing machine,Achilles,as told in Homer's (not Simpson !) tale,The Iliad;

"You have your swords,I have my tricks.We play with the toys God gives us"

That is what it's about this post.Some people have it a little easier.Their talents are much more evident and they are aware that they have the talent.

I do believe that God gave everyone a chance to do well and succeed at something.I,just like a lot of other people,am wondering what my talent is.More importantly,is it a viable ability? Or is it rather 'unique' like being able to being able to touch my nose with my tongue?

There are two points about this that I will proceed to elaborate on...

Firstly,I hope that whatever it is,I would be able to make a decent living out of it,or at the the very least,allow me to have a life which is purposeful and fulfilling.It will make me feel like I'm a useful member of society and make myself and my loved ones feel that I'm making good use of my life.

Secondly,it's down to something much more primal and animalistic.It's not something that yearn for or am obsessed about.

Ever see those nature shows,where one would attract potential mates by showing off their powress or flex something? That's what I mean but not really exactly.I'm not trying to attract a mating partner here.

It's more to do with friends and members of the opposite sex and what people would see when they are looked at.Someone confident and has enough ability to not only stand on their own two feet but make a stand.Maybe even leave a positive,indelible mark on people in their world.

I'm sure I can identify with a lot of people with what I just said.

As for me,I'm still so unsure with what I've been given by God and whether they will be good enough.I do hope that I will make something of myself.

And to this unknown special someone,that I have yet to meet (or maybe I've met you but I just don't know it yet??) that when we do meet,I hope that I will have put in enough effort to make you proud of me and ultimately,make myself proud for doing that.

We got toys to play with so lets find them and play with them and make something of ourselves.

Be even better if it was something kick-ass..

The Little Things

I woke up to the sounds of drilling and excavating..

Ahh,life in the cosmopolitan,concrete jungle.Only alarmingly comforting on the day we happen to rise from slumber in a deep and dark forest.Other than that, majorus agitationus.

No real point about this one here.I just want to state a musing I just had.

It's about the content of my last post.About how many things I had going.About how,a few seconds ago,they seemed incredibly mundane and routine.I should actually be thankful that I have so many things going for me and it is good stuff,I know.

But...

It's not really that interesting in the first place..it's interesting for me,yet at the same time,all those things aren't really things I could say constitute an interesting day.I've grown into the routine.

I guess I'm just expressing my desire to go and see different places and meet different people.

(Maybe go see the Naked Cowboy guy with his guitar in the New York subway system;he's not really naked,just in his underwear.)A permenent sight in the area.

Maybe the DnD will throw up some interesting times.But it'd be nice if something else comes up before that.

This weekened,I'll be studying for my CA on Monday as well as watch a lot of soccer on the telly.It's a big weekend with big games.

Soccer(-watching) is a must,no matter how interesting the rest of my weekend is.Girls may look upon this fact with disdain but for this particular interest of mine,that's the way I want to stay.It's the other times I wanna make less routine.

But the fallacy of the human mind is its fickleness.It tells me that too much spontaneity isn't goode ither.My life would seem directionless and my days spent in a hurried manner.

So,I want my life to be routine but also have a sprinkle of spontaneity here and there..

Hmm..I don't think it is in the nature of humans to be satisfied.Not with everything.We also wnat something to be different,better.That's how the phrase 'the grass is always greener on the other side' came about.Heck,I think,we'd still be stuck in the stone age if humans didn't have this quality in them.

I guess we have to take satisfaction from the little things life.Like seeing someone you like/love smile because of something you did.Or the giggle of a baby.You and your best friend doing your favourite thing together.

Dang,just saw the time and realised I just missed out on getting McDonalds breakfast.

Finger In Many Pies

In a teaser for Fantastic Four 2,Chris Evans' character,is seen arriving at a public event in what I could have sworn was a McLaren Mercedes SLR 2007.Didn''t get a good look though.

Damn,that's one of my dream cars.The other is a Porsche Carrera GT.

I'm considering Mass Comm as you know.But I had no time to go so I ferreted a favour out of Roswell Girl to go and find out for me since she was going.

She got back and said that ITE students have a slim chance since priority will be given to O Level students.I wonder if I'm considered one,even if I'm applying from ITE.I was an O Level student.

I will be starting to build up a portfolio to submit together with my application.I'm doing it together with Roswell Girl,who's also gonna do one as well.

=)

I'm just glad that we're on amicable terms again.Hopefully it isn't just a one-off.

Considering topics for my essay for the competiton.Will reveal more soon.

Hard to believe that my public performance will be as soon as next Saturday.I've yet to get the script pat down on lock.

I have a 3 week deadline to submit a business proposal for the CDP module.May use my old Entro stuff.

Hmm,I sure got a lot of things going on here and there.

(No) Time To Make A Choice

I used to love the beauty of Fridays.But nowadays,Fridays signify a time of frenzied nerves.By the time I get to the end,I can't bring myself to bother about anything else.

At least German class is fun.So is drama class.

I just got half my outfit for the DnD.Still the pants and shoes to go.Brown is the new blue for me.I used to have a lot of (dark) blue shirts.Now I seem to go brown.Could this be the start of something here?

Shopping is expensive.Wish I had a job to grab the burden of my needs off my mom.

I want to go to an open house for the polytechnic this weekend but a lack of time and willing 'tag-alongers' have scuppered plans.Don't fancy asking Roswell Girl do I? Doubt she'd come anyway.

Really giving my future some thought...if I take Mass Comm,I will probably face peers more able linguistically.I am afraid that I will be given less opprtunity simply because of my ITE tag.Do they even accept ITE graduates??? Law & Management is the most financially sound choice but do I really see myself as a future paralegal? And if I take Business Studies at the diploma level,that would be just an extension of what I'm learning now;it's just delaying making a choice. I wanna go down to TP to find out what are my prospects for Mass Comm.

I'm off to plod through a mentally draining Friday.

Don't Bite Off More Than I Can Chew

I just realised that it's been eons since I last went to the movies.Hence I must make it a point to go and catch one after the CA for Marketing is over.Wonder which willing soul will I drag along.There have been a couple of good ones showing like 'Blood Diamond'.I so wanna watch that.I hear Leo's pretty decent in it.There may be a few more good ones out by the time I actually am free to go and watch one so yeah...

I have an urge to undertake a new project.But before anything,I already know that I have other responsibilities like school and I know if I were to try something new,it may take focus off these other more important things.

Like I so,so wanted to go for the Mandarin class being offered as an elective in my school but I can't for the simple reason that my schedule doesn't allow me to.They have classes twice a week.As such,I can only attend the one in the first part of the week cos the 2nd one in the week,is on a Friday and my Fridays are totally packed with school,drama class and German class.No place to put Mandarin class there...

Second point I have,I have no idea what exactly it is that I want to undertake.

I just feel that I have to challenge myself,try something new.But the time isn't now.The next few weeks will whizz by in a blur I presume.Before I know it,I'll be a few days away from my final semestral exams.And then after that,things will be up in the air as I wait to see if my applications to polytechnic will come through.

Don't even get me started about thinking of starting on a screenplay.That should only be considered in a few months time when all these things I have on my plate now have been done and dusted.

I'll Find My Own Way

It's a cold and dreary Sunday.The rain has had an unrelenting presence this weekend after a brief absence which had been preceded by more rain previously.It's put a big damper on travels to anywhere around the island but most significantly affecting the daily commute to school.

The Marketing CA is sometime this week so I have to prepare for that.

On either Tuesday or Wednesday I have a production meeting.The video lauch is somewhere in the middle of next month.

Speaking of productions,I wonder what it would take to create a story and script for a movie.I wish for the time and ability to explore this idea over the next few months.It all seems so unknown because all these things start from scratch and the premise and the storyline all have to be taken into consideration.Perhaps this task will be undertaken with a willing and like-minded friend.I certainly feel that it would make things much easier.

I know that by touching on this subject next,it would contradict this next observation.

What I mean is that,in the last post I did not mention or allude to anything regarding Roswell Girl.I guess that is the state of things now.Aini,who just got to know about my blog,commented that a quick scroll down would show that the phrase 'Roswell Girl' was peppered throughout this online journal.

Not applicable to the last post though.

Previous affections for the subject do still stand.With emphasis on the word 'previous'.If one were to analyze the sentence,it would show that the affections are a thing of the past but then,the rest of the sentence 'do still stand' denotes that I still believe in whatever I said about her.

I've moved on as much as I can,considering that I still see her on a daily basis.Interaction between us have receded to a bare minimum.She's definitely moved on,not just from me but also to a new part of her life.From what I can catch here and there,she's very much savouring every moment of her newfound bliss.

I wonder if we will end up in the same institution of higher learning as her after our time at ITE.It would be very interesting if we did,to see how we would interact when our paths cross.

Whatever,I'm sure she's forgotten whatever's transpired between us in the past and is now preoccupied with somebody else.I'm trying to move on ;it's a work in progress but I think I am as a matter of fact,making positive progress almost everyday.

So I am looking forward to school this week (gosh,really?)

Well yeah,it gets hard but the weeks are indeed winding down.Not much left to be done other than the outstanding projects.

Week 2 of 9..

Cheap Sales And A Rather Expensive Buy

We've got to stop buying new decks guys.Yeah they're cheap but that's a lousy excuse....

Thought I'd start off with a random one there.

Drama class was fun.It was the first lesson and even though there are 5 lessons left I can still have fun.I think they are meant to be fun.It's how you use what you've learnt and the things that you need to do to improve yourself that is the hard work.The class itself was a real eye-opener,teaching me things that I always knew that I could do or needed to be done but it was just put in words and explained to me in theory which helps a lot.

And now,I've just been emailed about a interviewee-skills workshop,happening on the 22 of Jan.

Wow,I'm involved in so many activities in my 2 years with this CCA.Really so not a waste of my time it turned out to be.

G2000 & U2 are having 70%-off year-end sale...they're affiliated of course.A blazer that originally costs $129 is now going for only $49 !!

How opportune,what with the DnD coming up real soon.The walk around town wasn't a complete waste of time.As for the shirts,saw some nice ones.Probably gonna make it striped.I don't have one of those.Will see more choices soon.Yet to find options for shoes.

I was walking round in the Suntec megamall and had to walk from one end to the other to find the bookstore.I reckoned it to be a warm,welcoming haven away from the packs that were scurrying around.I read a joke book about Homer Simpson.Yeah,yall know he the man...

There were a couple of good reads inside but I didn't read them because it would be too much of and ask for me to stand there and read a book of reasonable volume.so Homer it was.

Was so tempted to buy a book about Adrian Mole by Sue Townsend.Already read 2.Saw 2 others that I haven't read before.I chanced upon this character when years ago,my Lit teacher told me to select a title from a list and do a book review about it.Must have been fate that I chose this title.I wanted very badly to buy the book but I restrained myself because I knew I had other expenses to consider.

For example,I wanted to chill at a Starbucks outlet,one of many strewn in the immediate vicinity,with an Archie comic or a decent book.But I ended up ambling through the mall with a considerably cheaper pretzel from Auntie Anne's.Parmesan cheese by the way..

A big ruckus was made of Beckham's move to MLS and it's not surprising.I considered that he would be earning 1 million plus a week but the local paper went further.He would earn 49 Sterling Pounds a minute.At any given second,at any time of the year,Beckham would have more money than I would ordinarily have in my wallet.He already does anyway but I'm just saying to make a point about the gargantuan nature of the contract.

With 250 million dollars spread over 5 years,he blows away the previous highest paid athelete in American sport,hot-shot pitcher Alex Rodriguez,who earned 42 million dollars a year.

A lot of people say it's a step down for him.In terms of the standard of footb- oh,'saw-ker' then yes.But then,my stand it's a win-win-win situation for him.In terms of his career,he's played for the 2 biggest clubs in the world,if not by pedigree then at least by reputation.His medal collection,thanks to his entertaining tenure with what I believe to be ONE OF THE GREATEST clubs of the modern game,Manchester United,is nothing to be sneezed at.Captained his country at 2 World Cups.

He gets to play soccer regularly and even gets to live out the celebrity aspect of his life without having to apologise.He's in LA,Hollywood.I wouldn't be surprised if being the subject of tabloid controversy would be a pre-requisite to enter certain clubs there.

If it comes down to it,he would at least save on the commute to his soccer school.Imagine how much of a bitch it would be to make all those weekly flights across the Atlantic,private jet or otherwise.

The only downside to this perhaps is that,unless all the top-level midfielders all fell down the stairs of their multimillion dollar homes simutaneously,he wouldn't have a chance of making it back into the England squad.Given the way things were going and the current manager's frosty outlook on the notion,he probably already wouldn't be in anyway.

So go Becks,and enjoy yourself.Thanks for your part in bringing glory to Man Utd.A legend? If not in the eyes of Sir Alex then definitely a great player.

May ask my dad to finance my expenses for the DnD outfit.I saw a guy dress quite similarly to what I have in mind and my friend said that it was possible;I could be imagined in that look.

Well,its been a rather enjoyable weekend I have to say.Coming off a good weekend always helps me to deal with the upcoming school week better.

Burnout Days & Expensive Nights

The next 20 hours are going to be an absolute bitch.

8am to 230pm - School

230pm to 6pm - Drama Class

7pm to 930pm - German Class

And on top of that I'm just about to go do the powerpoint slides for the HRA project.I may not go the first few lessons later because of this stuff.

And last night I thought I could have an easy night tonight.And I still haven't completed German homework..

Nice going,buttmunch...

People I know are getting perplexed about what they should wear to DnD on grad night.I guess I am to.A lot of people are gonna dress casually for it.At the risk of sounding superficial but it's just not me.I feel like I should dress sharp for this.Cos I feel like it.It's a balance of being formal,since it's in a hotel but also funky and smart enough so that I can keep it fresh and clean for the afterparty.

I have to pay $35 for the tickets and $20 for the drama class.I still haven't found the outfit that I'm gonna wear and there's no telling how much that will add up to.

Pant...Pant...Wheeze...

Haven't been getting enough sleep and after a kickabout with the class guys in the morning,I crashed my weary body after dinner at around 7 and I just woke up,besieged with a bout of flu.That just makes things all dandy don't it...

I was supposed to go get my haircut today but I was so limp outta gas that I had to shelve that.

I get to go to drama class real soon,I don't know how it's gonna be.Hope it will be zippity-do-dah...its on Friday from 2 to 5.Soon after that I gotta run to German class which starts at 7 so my Fridays are going to be quite full.

The performance I have is slated for the 26th of January which means I'm gonna miss one class on Friday.German class I mean.But hey,what am I gonna do,right?

Today's soccer game was one in a long while.I was found wanting in the stamina department.No surprise considering the abnormally long layoff.Not that I had much stamina to begin with anyway.Played outside the goalkeeper's 'D'.Another first in a long while.Pretty nice.Although I had no gas left in the tank towards the end.Played link-man too.

Guess all that could only be understood by soccerheads.Lol.

I have a sudden urge to try out basketball now.Don't know why.Must be because of watching some of it on the telly.I'm no good but I'd just like to have a fun,harmless game.Also nice to try out different sports.Other than school,I picked it up back in 5th grade when I was in Australia.I had a cuz who was a real whiz with the orange bouncy thing.Hah.I couldn't even hit the square on the backboard back then.Loads better now.

Gosh,I got nothing of substance to blog about.Dang.

Oh yeah,I saw this Billabong hoodie jacket that I really wanna get.It's not anything special.Just thought I don't have enough hoodies.But I also have important birthday presents to get.4 in total.And the money I have is meant for those prezzies.So I don't know where I'm gonna get the extra dough from.

Well,I'll be chatting late into the night and doing my German homework.Maybe I'll have good stuff to talk about real soon.

Zwei Null Null Seiben

I realised that I haven't been updating as regularly as I used to.I think people don't read it as much as they used to also.This was never meant to be a public showcase anyway.Well it is in plain sight but what I mean is it doesn't need to be proclaimed to the masses.

It's the 1st one of of the two double oh seven...

Not quite looking forward yet.I wanna be introspective and look back at a very eventful year.

So many highs...oh how I loved them.A couple of lows.In fact the year did end on a low for me.With that whole Roswell Girl business but it's already happened.The highs were worth it.School,friends,CCA,chasing after Roswell Girl.It gave me so much joy.The lows hurt but I had my great friends to tide me over.From my homeboys that were down with me since we were nothing but kids to the new found homegirls from school that helped me deal with it and come out stronger.

If 2007 turns out to be just as 'turbulent-ly' fun then sign me up cos I'm all for it.

Well...burn my nails and call me Sandy!! (That's just an expression by the way)

Roswell Girl just IM-ed me on MSN.Didn't see that coming...It was just a few minutes.Nothing much.

This made me wonder..is she oblivious to my blog?When the address is there in my blog..Maybe she isn't so,maybe she does notice it.Hence the conversation...

Or was the conversation a total one off? Unaffected by anything?

As usual I'm analytical to a fault.

The irony of the situation left me with a smirk on my face.Here I am,having just recovered from the agony and heartache,along comes her with her wonderful world of cute cats and dreamy boyfriend and says 'hi!'.

Haha.*Shakes head*.It's okay I guess I'm still cool about it.

Damn,Lil Lady,damn..
