thursday was hardcore fun with everybody at my palce. initially, i was whinning and moody because the rain spoilt everything. plus, the tabble tennis and squash courts were under renovation PLUS there's a funeral so its not right to use the basketball court as it would make too much noise. everything seemed to go wrong.
but in the end, things turned out rather great. went to borrowed the ghost movie rule #1 from jasmine and let them watched. perfect atmosphere because of the dark and gloomy environment outside. baby glen and hao wen were too scared to watch so they played the comp. after the movie, the rain lightened abit, and we braved it to play soccer at the playground. since my playground is still sandbased, there were water logged areas which made the whole game of soccer even more fun! we got dirty by splashing water at our opponents, and by splashing water as we sat the swings. baby glen got rashes!
i love this playground. its here where i learnt to swing, and to jump off it in motion. its here where i learnt cartwheels. its here where i played catching every 6 to 7pm and learnt that i could run. its here where i made lots of friends.
aahh... childhood.
playing soccer with them was quite scary as i was afraid i might hurt them, even though dyon and glenn are in soccer team. but cause, they are so small sized compared to me! sis kept asking me not to pass the ball to her haha. so, it was great fun, afterwhich we went to the toilets to wash up where i lost my lotto soccer ball! went home to change, while the boys changes to their swimming attire to go for a swim. sis, kaiwen, hao wen and i sat by the pool side watching them play and swim. hahaha. it really brings back more good memories of my childhood!
went home for dinner after the swim, where my maid, eka whipped up some dishes and dad bought some extra ingredients to add to the yummy diiner! dinner was great, almost everything was finished! then, we relaxed and chilled out at my house, by playing the comp, watching tv, and playing with lorry, my hammie. glenn taught me to put tissue papers in the cage for her to build a nest, and she did! she's been sleeping under it for the past days so i couldnt find her! haha.
i was shag when everyone left, but very happy to see them all again. hopefully, we'll get to visit another house very soon!
the success of this gathering is largely due to daddy, eka, and mommy! daddy was really hospitable. like for example, he drove to chinese garden to fetch them cause of the rain, and he bought lots of drinks, tibits and food. and eka cooked a great dinner and mommy was hospitable too :)
so, liverpool finally break the draw curse developed from the past 2 matches! we beat blackburn 3-1 during yesterday's match. but why ohh why, keane is not in play!!! seriously, he's a hell of a player, and like gerrard, he's a play maker. sometimes, i dont understand the manager. and this torres, so disappointing! groin injured again! i really miss seeing him play and scaring the shit out of the opponents. but if he keeps missing games, it would be difficult to find his form back again!
saw the liverpool crest on a minivan on my way to find jasmine for the vcd. all doors were designed with this crest, plus more liverppol stuff inside the van, like a scarf. must be a hardcore fan!
poor blackburn, still under pressure in relegation zone. this season, the promoted teams are quite a challenge!
and HAHA, just now Singapore vs Myanmar Suzuki Cup match was so funny! the stupid keeper go push the referee and kena red carded! dumb arse. its difficult to explain what had happened by seriously, its not the ref fault lar. the Myanmar players were distracted by the sun jiayi's injury and assumed that the ref would blow the whistle and halt the game. in the end, Singapore scored, and the stupid keeper buey song, go push the ref. really dumb thing to do. i mean, they are experienced players and they should learn to keep their temper in check. plus, they should be aware of the consequence it could bring, not only to them, but to the whole team. and in this case, since they are representing the country, the country itself.
reminds me of one match, when Singapore vs Thailand in the semis, where the same thing happened again. the Thailand team refused to carry on play. there's seriously no point in all this. in the end, the team and the manager would be fined, and it would only tarnish the reputation of the team and the country. i mean, ref decision is always final, so when its at your disadvantage, you have no choice but to fight on even fiercer and harder on the field.
but anyway, Singapore won 3-1 and that's the thing. hopefully, we can win the Cup again this year! Lionel Lewis is still drop dead gorgeous! :D
gross, cause the skin on my sunburnt arm is peeling.
would be having buffet/steamboat at suntec's yuki yaki with the soccerrettes! really looking forward yo! chais right, should treat it as an investment. haha.
but i'm really broke yeahh. buddy's bithday is also coming up! but i've already sent in a resume for a part time admin clerk for a clinic. wonder if i would be short-listed! cross my fingers! looking for retail sales and f&b services jobs are too difficult already! boo hoo.
anyway,
congratulations to szeying and weijian for completing the Standard Chartered Marathon!
she msged me at 1:39 pm today and told me it was a crazy race! haha. next year, it would be my turn to run it! :D

my hammie, minnie, passed away yesterday. i cried badly this time because i witnessed her death. it was feeding time, so i was feeding both my hammies. normally, they would wake up eagerly and scramble towards their food tray. but yesterday night, minnie didnt wake up and she was lying at one side of her cage. so i shook her to wake her up, but she didnt respond. i checked her breathing, and yes, her body was still moving up and down slowly. i shook her harder, but she continued to lay at where she was. she didnt even move her head.
weizi was holding on the line, and i started to freak out into the phone. i shouted for my maid and sis, and they both opened the cage and looked at minnie. minnie was still breathing but i guess, she was already almost gone. then slowly, her breath stopped. i ran to the room and woke daddy up because daddy loves both hammies alot. when daddy and mommy came out, i started crying and my granny said i crazy. but i was really sad. my maid, eka and i kept shaking her to wake her up, because at that moment, we dont believe that she was gone. but she was.
now, her cage's empty and lying one side in the yard.
i've been keeping hammies since sec 3, but minnie's death affected me rather badly because i witnessed it. although she died of old age, it was still so sudden. then, i started thinking about death again. something which i often do. but no, i'm not suicidal. and a friend just told me a death of his friend, which was very sudden and unexpected. and i started thinking of people i know dying, my ah kong, my uncle and a uncle from my taiwan tour group.
i was too young to understand the raw pain of death then, when my ah kong passed away. but now, i could feel it. even though i wasnt close to my uncle and was just a passing acquaintance with the tour group uncle, both deaths were so shocking and sudden. its like, one moment, the person is alive and kicking, and the next, he's lying there inside the coffin. and he looks like his sleeping, almost alive. but the next thing you know, he's returned to dust, never smiling at you again. the death of the singapore lawyer to the damned terrorists is also haunting me. like she's contacting her family and husband on the cellphone, and they're hearing her voice. next thing they know, she got murdered.
and i think, what's it like if you know death is coming.
my hammies death were sad and painful, and i cant imagine the grief if my love ones died. i know death is inevitable, but such eternal separation is just too painful to bear. whenever i think about this at night, i would cry to sleep. i cant imagine living without my ah ma, mom, dad and sis, as well as all the precious friends in my life. i think, even if you believe in religion, death can never really be a relieve of suffering, or it can never be easy.
in fact, sometimes maybe, its even scarier. say for example, you're a christian, and you believe that all believers go to heaven and those non-believers dont. while heaven is a beautiful place, but hell's not. but not everybody you love are christians, so... you get what i mean. and say, you're of a religion which believes in recarnation. then, you can never unite or meet the one you love again, after death. but if i'm a free thinker, then death would be nothingness. then where do the soul go? is there an afterlife?
..........................................................................
well, those are just my thoughts. on a happier note,
SOCCER MATCH TODAY!
had friendly with our juniors. would like to thanks 4 of the queensway girls for coming down to join our rojak team. haha.
it was a good friendly, and i am really happy today. takes my mind of lots of things. for one, got to see almost all of the girls today, after my Beijing trip. miss them so much! and coach too!
speaking of coach, he bought ac milian jersey for chai and i from thailand, and he dont want to accept back the money! so nice of him! :D
and then, wearing the red tournament jersey and playing with the team on the field reminds me of the good, old days, when we were staring out as noobs. it reminded me of our tournament too, where we felt the utter pain of loss, and the taste of victory at the same time.
most of us were unfit already. can tell from the warm up haha. jasmine's mucus was flowing out, and she said its going to come out from her eyes too. haha. plus, the sun was scorching hot! and i'm already burnt from 3 consecutive days of suntanning! but personally, i love the sun. and i was really overjoyed that chris made it from work! so proud of her! :D
suffered from endless teasings.
but still, it was fun when the match kicked off! 45 45 15 and 2 sets of penalty shoot out! woots! its tiring but still, we're all dying to play so we keep making subs. tzer received her first leg cramp! painful like shit right! so anyway, jas scored 2 goals (almost hat trick though, but she off side), lixuan scored one and valerie scored 2! j1s scored one by penalty! penalty shoot out was nervous but fun haha! was relieved when i scored. chris was a monster lar, she can run everywhere. val dribbled past almost everyone. yiting saved so many penalities!
but j1s were aggressive. jingwen and szeting kept marking me, until make me so pek chek. sharron was so scary, but i'm glad bren made her fall! iezah made such huge improvements, saving so many goals! anyway, hope bren's legs are ohhk! i hope coach will organise more friendlies for j1s to gain more experience.
gave out the Bird Nest keychain souvenirs and made them guessed what it was. chai was the fastest in guessing it, while coach was the slowest! i gave him all the hints but he was still completely at sea. and when i told him it was the Bird Nest stadium, he told me he didnt see how the stadium looked like before -_-
so anyway, after match which ended damn late into the evening, we went for dinner at jp mac(it was almost 9 already), cause i want to rent dvds from jp. sitting down with the girls as we occupy one whole row of tables, brings back good memories after every soccer training. like how we use to dily daly after every trainings, and how we used to go for meals after every match and trainings. wow, time certainly flies! but i belive, this would definitely not be the last time we gather and meet, nor would it be the last time we play together.
throughout the whole time together yesterday, before and after the match, we kept discussing about the prom night and shatricia. those who looked at the photos or went to the prom said she was really really beautiful. i saw the pics, and yes, she looks jaw-dropping and absolutely stunning in the beautiful white gown. jas kept going about her non-stop haha. but still, N is my eye candy ohhk! even though if she's muscular. but she's got nice abs, and nice legs. she's got a pan-asian look, she's sporty and she's HOT. i remember how crazy i could get when she was still in jj. kind of a stalker and jalaine was too! haha. but now, dont think she blogs anymore damn. cant look at her drop dead gorgeous photos!
soccer makes me happy, and so do the soccerrettes.
if, before i've chosen the jc or poly path, and God showed me that i would fail my As if i were to go jc, i would definitely still choose the jj route. because, i would never trade my team and soccer experience for anything.
and i should really get down to finding a job soon! would do so with jingwen! :D damn, jj no vancancy for relief pe teacher.
and huiying! $10 ktv at chinatown soon! :D
AND! street soccer please!

BEIJING, CHINA!
for your information, Beijing is 26 times the size of small litte S ingapore! haha.
seriously, Beijing is a great city and because my expectations were very low, i was greatly surprised by the wonders China brought. i cannot put into words how beautiful Beijing is, so go visit it youself one day!
the weather was cold, but i love it! i mean, singapore is so hot, the cold weather was a great change. the toilets were not as dirty as i've expected, maybe because of the Olympics. and also, the roads and infrastructure in Beijing are well developed. so really, this city, with such a rich history, culture and heritage, yet very modernised at the same time, is a place definitely worth visiting. whats more, as a chinese, we've got to see the country where our ancestors come from!
well, of course, thats not to say China doesnt have its bad habits. like for example, % of Chinese nationals are smokers. and everywhere, people smoke. the toilets are heavily polluted with the suffocating cigarrette smoke, and even in air conditioned restaurants, people smoke. yes, despite the "no smoking" sign there too. haha. and despite Beijing's highly developed roads, traffic problems are rather serious during peak hours. but hey, Beijing do not have COEs and ERPs like Singapore. there's no control over the number of cars on the roads, and coupled with the fact that the population there is in millions, traffic problems are inevitable. but on the weekends, traffic flows are alright.
also, i've made alot of friends in my tour group. something i've never done before in other trips. although they are all younger than me, all under 16, i feel so happy being around them. like i'm a kid again, or like i'm taking care of my brothers. i've always wished for a brother you see. haha maybe i've never really grown up. i'm young at heart! even i dont look 18! and i dont want to grow up :(
ohhk, in a nutshell,
HAHAHAHA.
we saw a tshirt that had those words printed on it.
so anyway, to take everybody's mind off the horrible fuck up radical terrorists attacks in mumbai and the fucking crazy thais who occupy the bangkok airport, let me share with you my Beijing trip and hopefully, it would make you happy :)
