dead blog -revived-

whew........... hvnt posted for a LONG time....... but hey! u cant blame me! i mean, these last 2 weeks hv been eventful and although ive been slacking, soccer and hockey juz abt occupies the rest of my time so.......... =)

anw, hmmm........... where shall i start........... i noe!

lets start wif football!!!! i mean like, im damn happy coz u see, poor s'poreans hv to subscribe to starhub for a WHOPPING sum (according to my mum) to juz watch 64 matches........ and besides, not only are most of the matches AFTER bedtime, brazil is gonna win it again....... rite?

WRONG!

well, most of it anw..............

first, lemme let in on a little secret -how i manage to save on 15++++ bucks

u see, 6 yrs ago, when there wasnt such a thing called plasma or even LCD screens for poor ppl like me, me dad had to rely on his trusty old 19" CRT that was cooped up in his bedroom back then.... then, there ALSO wasnt a thing called SCV or cable......... so, a genius (im convinced he (or she) also wanted to cheat on his 15 bucks) invented this thing called an ANTENNEA!! now folks, this isnt your type of antenna that hangs around the top of your house, no......... the antenna IM TALKING abt is one that my dad chanced upon for $12 at NTUC (see, a saving of $3!!!) and so, this magnificent antenna was able to (surprise surprise) recieve RTM 1 and SCTV (both indoneasian channels -i think-) (ooh!!! ahhh!!!) and so i get to catch 58 matches LIVE on my 29" CRT (my new 42" one cant recieve...... it doesnt hv a 15 yr old cable slot for my 15 yr old antenna...... see.,..... new things r more HIGH-TECH NOW)

so....... i get to save $3....... yar sure, i mean, the reception definitely cant be compared to the set box frm starhub and like, yar no HD (poor CRT) and like YAR, indoneasians cant seem to get the idea of showing the time elasped on the left-hand side of the screen..... but hey! im not complaining!

now, abt my world cup adventure.......... o, and why brazil wunt win

2 reasons. i like dutch milk (esp. the strawberry one) and the czech will knock out brazil in the 2nd round so TOO BAD!!!!!

first of all, the dutch rock...... yar, i noe robben is a solo-kia but heck.......... they will win coz they hvnt yet (see the logic? huh? do you?) and not to mention that

brazil will see ronaldinho have a last minute teeth surgery so he misses the world cup
england will see rooney sent off coz he doesnt know how to behave
germany will hv micheal ballack go off form(not that he is actually in-form currently) coz hes wearing jersey no. 13
argentina will see lionel messi get injured (c'mon, hes only 19!)
czech will see pavel nedved and rosicky (who is better than nedved) sent off in the semis and injured by guess who? england (rooney rmr?)
the french will see cisse (right tibua) and henry (left tibua) and trezeguet (.....) injured (or well, broken legs)
portugal will see luis figo die of tirdness (hes real old -in my opinion-) and ronaldo sent off for baring his chest for all the females on earth to see (2 yellows = 1 red)

disclaimer - all this is real crap really, im juz crapping around

so, my dream final will be spain vs the dutch (milk)

unfortunately, coz raul will be playing, spain loses (real sad really, i like spain to.....) and the dutch (milk) wins!!!!

--- im really juz crapping around --- serious!

second, my trip to jurong

hrm...... well, the adventure began on a sunday and like, jian wei, wai choong and zydney and ME went ice skating

well naturally having NVR skated b4, i had more than a few qualms abt landing flat on my butt after skidding on ice...... and well, like, i admit, i kinda dreaded the ice-skating

CONTRASTINGLY

zydney here (someone who weighs more than me, in fact, most ppl weigh more than me) had taken skating lessons............... GASP............. he takes skating lessons???? imagine my shock........ it was as dumbfounding as seeing a cow roller blading......... im serious!

ok, fine............ not only will i embarrassed myself by landing flat on my butt, ill get my ass whipped by someone else in the process (who weighs more than me........)

certainly NOT GOOD...........

nvm, so i asked me dad, dad, did u ever go ice-skating b4? how do you ice-skate well without falling?

and well well well, my dad gives me his answer
-totally irrevelant to my question
-of absolute no help to help me skate better
-made me MORE nervous (hard to believe rite? WRONG...... my dad does that...always... call it his specialty)

"weeelllllll.......... (he like beating abt the bush or make u wrack your brains to decipher the true meaning) I DIIIIIID once skate before........ (heartbeat quickens)......... and wasnt TOOO BADD at it (heartbeat quickens....... did i mention my dad likes to boast once in awhile? i must've...)......... but then again.......... in my time ppl only iceskated with their girlfrens........... so........ yar............ u try not to fall"

welll, great advice.......... serious........... when i went to the ice-skating rink, almost everyone had a boyfren or girlfren accompanying them.......... and boy, or well, girl.......... did the girls know how to skate! (or well, at least a minority of them who i bet were skating professionally......) and well, the majority, well, they were spending more time clutching their boyfrens than skating

mental note to self - next time i get a girlfren, bring her to the rink ^*

lol..... juz joking....... laughs, rite?

ANYWAYS , did i also mention that the boys were falling very often too?

another mental note to self - next time u wanna get back at someone, practise ice-skating first, then when ure confident, bring the guy or girl to ice-skating and well, yar, THRASH HIM........ juz make sure he/she doesnt skate better than u first ^^

so well, yar, and then there were also 2 or 3 6-yr old girls who were skating smoothly (and fast) while i was reduced to a snail's crawl that eventually progressed into a doggie crawl to a......... old ah-ma walking COMPARED TO OTHERS (applause please........)

AND, i did it without falling......... HAH! BEAT THAT! (although there were 2 occasions that i almost did a split and as mr azlan says "furthur generations would be unlikely") but hey! i got out of it in one piece and even skated as fast as a dog trot for like 3 seconds b4 i put the breaks (always heed mr azlan)
