Oh my god, Kenny Dalglish is in Singapore. King Kenny! Now if only I knew his itinerary for the rest of the week. I missed the opportunity to head over to Turf City for the opening of the football facility. Ah, missed a rare opportunity to see a Liverpool legend in the flesh.
On a side note, I've finished my exams for the semester. Am so glad about it because I really needed a break. Now the long vacation period is here. I don't have lessons until the new semester starts on October 19! Might be going to Korea or Hong Kong.
Been hanging out with Nic ever since the end of my exams, occasionally also with Des or Adel. Nic's going back to Canada on Mon. :(
Right now I am so free that I don't really know how to spend my holidays. Might go searching for odd jobs. Or pick up drumming. I've kept my vigorous exercise routine going again. Didn't get much opportunity to do so during the school term. I just ran 5km yesterday and climbed the stairs back up to my unit instead of taking the lift. Felt really good after that.
Tennis tonight and badminton on Monday after sending Nic off at the airport. I'm going to see Yanyan and Sri! Yay, it's been a while.
By the way, does someone have cheap (better still if it's free) tickets to Boys Like Girls? I missed the registration for Nike + Human Race.
Meanwhile I have to wait for my dear JC friends to finish their promos so that I can go out with them. Study, you! Yes you. Get off the com.

Harry (Kewell) helped Galata win the Super Kupa! One goal with one assist. If you have trouble finding him, he's behind the yellow jersey-ed guy. Uhm I guess the pic's too small for detail anyway. Final score: Galatasaray 2-1 Kayserpor. Unique cup eh, funny looking medals. Tis' still strange seeing Kewell with his new team-mates too.
Ah, I'm gutted that they're not showing Hearts Of Nineteen, the 7pm Channel U show, now. They're showing the Superband final, but the tv guide in Today didn't state so. Either that or all the clocks in my house are an hour behind time. Zzz.
Business Computing test went alright considering I wasn't very focused in revising. The day before I was still sitting on the couch watching Singapore's table-tennis team defeat South Korea. I guess lying in bed staring at the notes until you drift to sleep every few minutes does help too then. xP I did that for 3 hours past 4am, then it was up at 9am to get ready for school. Why a test at noon on a Sat? D:
Next exam is Microeconomics this Fri. My last paper ends the following Thu! Then it's vacation period until Oct 19th. I'm going to go on a high!
Contradictory to my above statement,
The effects of Singfest are slowly wearing off.
I need more adrenaline.
Melee is my anti-drug. ♥

For 10 years, I've had to mug my ass off on my birthday. Finally, finally, I have no exams falling on my birthday.
I saw Edwin in Friday's TNP. His Fuhua alumni team was featured under Weekend Warriors. & omg, he's actually the team captain! Hahaha. Cool man.
On Thu evening, I was feeling rather low because I was so tired from school and the whopping amount of projects raining down on me when just about 3 weeks ago, I was completely idle and enjoying some freedom. It made matters worse that Thu was the day with the heaviest timetable.
Then Nic called from Canada and she made my night. We talked until the line got cut off, then resumed our conversation online before she had to leave for school. Daryl texted asking how I was feeling as time drew closer to midnight and I said 'Great! My bff studying in Canada just called and I'm still buzzing." Although I felt so sleepy and the bed was inviting, I managed to stay up as usual. Saw bcs lab ec again. Muahaha.
Thank yous (omg I feel like some star writing thank yous for my album lol!): To Nic for the long distance call; Sri, Adel, Des, Yanyan, Junyi, Denise aka birdie!, Sheryl Yeo, Val Toh, Weizhen, Sri, Charmaine Low, my LRM class 1K09 for the 'surprise' complete with cake, Rahman for the collage, Daryl for the mini England football (that girl is damn thoughtful for taking my words so seriously); and not to forget my family for hunting down my favourite Sweet Secrets cake. I hope I didn't forget anyone.
PS. Omg, James Blunt in S'pore... Also I just found out today that Connie Talbot was in S'pore. Oh man, wish I'd know sooner. Watched her sing Over The Rainbow on Rouge and totally had goosebumps again, in a good way...

Let me start with what I did on Tue: I was remembering the Hillsborough Anniversary on this day in 1989. For the benefit of those who don't know,
"The Hillsborough Disaster was a deadly human crush that occurred on April 15, 1989, at Hillsborough, a football stadium home to Sheffield Wednesday in Sheffield, England resulting in the deaths of 96 people (all fans of Liverpool Football Club). The match was an FA cup semi-final between Liverpool FC and Nottingham Forest FC. It was abandoned six minutes into the first half. The inquiry into the disaster, the Taylor Report, named the cause as failure of police control, and resulted in the conversion of many football stadiums in the United Kingdom to all-seater and the removal of barriers at the front of stands." (Source: Wikipedia)
I went to meet Marianne at Harbourfront. We bought sushi and chips before taking the Sentosa Express to that little island. We sat out in the sun for close to a couple of hours and saw TV crew filming on the beach. One was a volleyball scene and the other was uhm, a drowning/swimming scene? They took ages to film lah. Then at 2 Mari and I washed up and proceeded to the Sentosa Office on Tanjong Beach for her job interview. Drank slurpee along the way. Mine was a mix of sour lemon, green apple and cola. Shiok! (: I waited till past 6 for her interview to finish but the place I was waiting at was pretty comfortable. I actually fell asleep on the couch!
Thu was Business School orientation day 1. There were 9 LRM classes and mine was 1K09. Idk what the 'k' stands for. I wonder how we were even sorted into classes. Anyway as fate would have it, I ended up sitting next to Nana when I met fellow classmates at the convention centre. She also stays in Bukit Batok! My Chinese classmates mostly conversed in Mandarin and I realised how rusty my Mandarin had become lah. I sounded weird. English has always been my first language. I made the SLs (Synergy Leaders) for our class guess my sec school CCA. They said I look sporty so one guessed Tennis while the other said Track & Field. Hahaha. They also said I look like a JC student. Activities-wise, it was super boring. All we did was sit through a welcoming speech, learn mass dance, LT games and watch other people play tug-o-war. There wasn't even icebreakers. And my sunburnt feet were immensely painful which gave me a hard time walking around. :/
Day 2, Business School became 4th time champs! :D In the morning, we had to sit through a very long presentation in the LT. I found myself dozing off. We met our course manager Ms Susan Goh, who also happens to be Care Person for classes 06 & 09! Was given our matric card, handbook and timetable. I have no lessons on Mon and lessons on Tue start at noon! Whoopie. Oh, we were also told that all LRM students would be involved in F1! Omg. That was exactly what I told Nana I was hoping for, and it really came true. :D
Later the entire TP freshies gathered at the grandstand to cheer our respective schools in the Olympiad, which is a series of tasks. There was 11-legged race etc. We were packed like sardines to the extent that I couldn't even stand up without knocking into the people around me and the lack of personal space really sucked. I got quite annoyed after a while. I must say I also wasn't in the best of moods though. I woke up that morning with bloodshot eyes lah. Always happens when I get less than 3 hrs of sleep.
And random shit, I am going to get hammered like nobody's business football-wise. Han Chuan informed me that he, Karthik, Clifford and Hugh, are all United fans. It's the 4 of them versus me. At least there was only Marcus in my CJ class! I am so getting suan-ed x4.
Uhm back to main story, Business won the Olympiad. Then everyone headed to Bedok Reservoir for the Regatta aka dragonboating cum performances. Business got 2nd for the first dragonboating race, best-spirited award for cheers, I don't know what else... After which they announced us as overall champs and that was when all the Biz students really started cheering at the top of their lungs. Hahaha. Woohoo! Pleasant surprise, I thought we would end up 2nd. Towards the end, we got to watch a wakeboarding performance by Sasha, the national wakeboarder. Btw we had to sit on sloping grass and I felt damn itchy lah, spiders kept crawling up my leg. But in the end the big win made that a small matter. Haha.

Don't fret, people! Weekend is round the corner. I'm saying this because JC peeps are really caught up in work and stressed out. Sri, take care of yourself k. I can't be there to save you if you faint! Hahah. Anyway I went for TP freshman orientation from Mon to Wed. On all 3 days, I think I was the only lunatic who sat on the train for 23 stops before alighting.
I got to campus and took a look at the name list. Was sorted into Phantos empire for the duration of the workshop. The only other Theresian on the list was Michelle Tan. During icebreakers, none of the GLs had ever heard of STC. I'm just going to say CHIJ to the next person who asks lah. Other freshies turned up with a whole bunch of schoolmates while I was technically alone so I started SOS-ing with my phone. Thanks Regine! (: I practically did that a whole lot until one of the GLs said "Wah Brina, very busy ah. Now Phantos time leh, can wait until over not."
Overall Day One we did icebreakers, cheers, empire flag, performance night preparation and station games around Tampines central. It was mundane but the GLs did their best to hype up the freshies. They were uber RAH-RAH. After Day One, I contemplated not turning up anymore but a few strong factors convinced me to just go. No1, I signed up for it and should be responsible by following through with it. No2, the GLs put in a lot of time and effort. No3, I was buay song because Phantos got joint 4th place in house placing so I wanted to come back and change that! No4, As the staff IC explained, I am privileged because there was limited vacancy. No5, I have nothing to do at home.
Day Two was better because more people warmed up and for me at least, had motivation to win. I didn't dare to take charge, so I was a follower. Although fewer people turned up, Day Two was tons louder and more enjoyable! I didn't exactly get high, but just hell unbothered about stretching the capacity of my lungs anymore. We did cheers, learnt TP handsign, school song, mass dance and played station games in school. TP mass dance damn nice! Simple and fun. One of the Phantos GLs looks strangely like one of the footballers for the red lions, and one of the freshies is a Park Ji Sung lookalike. Performance night was held in the evening. Because of our enthusiasm, Phantos emerged top 2 on Day Two.
Day Three, I went to school delighted because Liverpool won 4-2. I was also wearing an LFC shirt because Phantos decided to show that we're special and have everyone turn up in either red or orange. But I was also super tired because of the match and the previous day's events. Had to take Strepsils the night before. We cheered again, played water games, Huntgry/'treasure hunt' and ended off with mass dance and such. I was sort of just going through the motions but really screamed the cheers to the max. For Huntgry, the IQ task ended up with me for solving. I also helped make a voodoo doll for one of the station games and it became a sort of mascot for Phancee, my sub-empire. One of the GLs named it Cee-cee aka Sissy. Lol. TP seniors are so damn funny and crazy I tell you.
I think one of the ultimate reasons why Phantos didn't win was an insufficient sense of urgency (it makes a lot of difference cos if we hurried we could have squeezed in more tasks), butdeal or no deal win or no win, it doesn't matter much cos I don't regret turning up. That despite the fact that I didn't make many friends luh. Couldn't really click with fellow freshies. :/ And I want more sports involved in FOW/C! I know NP had sports camp for freshies. The CJ orientation that I attended also had a lot of sports involved. Damn shiok! Haha. At least we were told that there's dragonboating during school orientation next Fri! Business school ftw.
Phantos, the freshmaker! :D

I registered myself for TP freshman orientation workshop. It's being held from 7-9th April. Gosh, wonder what I've gotten myself into, this one was non-compulsory but we're 'strongly encouraged to go'. Don't know what to expect. I have another compulsory school orientation on 17th & 18th.
Other than that I am bored to death. Whenever I feel like going out, there's no friends to hang out with cos everyone's mugging their ass off in JC and I feel bad to distract them. Everybody's got their new friends to hang out with for the next two years too. They're like settled in already while I haven't even started... It sure feels strange. Anyway, it's been a good week football-wise with Liverpool's derby triumph and Owen scoring for Newcastle.
I was so bored the other day to the extent that I watched Singapore play Lebanon at home. Then I watched Gombak play Albirex Nigata just because I live there and also mainly, to see what Precious has been up to lately. Never had expectations for them, hence no disappointment. Want to hear something ironic? The Gombak players don't train at Gombak stadium. They use the one at Toa Payoh. What the heck right. I used to see them around all the time.
I baked again. White choc chip cookies this time.

I've baked mini cupcakes, pineapple tarts, almond cookies, chocolate chip cookies with M&Ms, and now brownies. I've also done a pre-mixed cake with Adel and one right from scratch with Lin and Des. Baking is addictive.
There's this Livejournal strike going on and what you have to do if you're taking part is not to post from today until 8am the next day. People are striking due to their dissatisfaction at LJ having tweaked a lot of the way they operate and run the site. I heard they're not allowing free accounts anymore, but not having checked up the evidence I didn't know whether to support the strike or not, so what do you do when you don't know what to do? Just better not do it. That's what I'm doing.
I haven't said this here. Harry Kewell is in Singapore again for another friendly with Singapore's national side. Ohmyfreak. This says it all:
Weight of days lost holding you down, says:

Eh, anyone doing CJ Arts with me? Come say hi! (:
Seems like a lot are doing Science.
SAT
Out with Des, Sri, and Yanyan for badminton. Had a great workout. I sweat more than I would at the gym. After that Yanyan went home and we carried on. Made our way to Funan IT Mall. Ate at Pasta Mania. We finished 1 1/2 bottles of cheese flakes and was so full after that. Bananas in Pyjamas. Des and I's childhood friends. Are you thinking what I'm thinking, B2? Hahaha! Later, went to Peninsular Plaza where there's a shop selling football memoribilia. Aw paradise. Poor Sri had to wait outside for us because the place was tiny and we must have stayed in there for centuries. At night, I watched a Nicholas Cage movie called The Pledge on TV. It was awesome. Aaron Eackhart was in it as this fucked up SWAT cop. :/
SUN
Whole body was aching from badminton. Bought more baking stuff. Went back home, baked chocolate chip cookies. I'm so happy it could pass off as Subway cookies. Moulded some into shapes with the cookie cutters. Apparently the cookies are very addictive, cos Annabelle and Sri couldn't stop eating. :D At night, went to Long Beach for my brother's very belated birthday dinner. Saw the phone used in the When I'm Gone music video. It's Nokia 7500 Prism, I think. Slept early that night as I always do after a bad EPL game.
Badminton with the usual again tmr!

New url, new look! I was getting very, very sick of the old one. This layout is just temporary too, I want a personalised one and I already have some borrowed ideas in mind. In the midst of all the custom editting, I lost a lot of the original look, so sorry to the person who made this! I lost the credits too.
O's has lasted for too long, but at least there's just 2 non-written papers left, and just 6 days to go! Yeah that's it. I've kind of lost the ability to blog. Ha. Anyways, I went to the gym again after such a long time. Ran 3K! Timing slowed, but at least still able to run. Then I skipped dinner, so I'm extremely hungry now and my stomach's growling.
Today is just pure slack, I gave myself a self-declared break. Liverpool 8-0! I am still reeling from shock, joy, disbelief, pride, I don't know what else. Voronin's my man though he didn't score any goals, but he was instrumental! Did you see that backflick to Stevie G? Pure class. I never admired him until today.
Okaybye, I shall stop rambling and get something to eat.

Just a random thought which has got nothing to do with the main essence of this post... I think screwing up something that you're expected to be good at is still much worse than screwing up something that you know you're bad at.
For the whole week, I was in self deception. But at least it really got me through the week. I told myself that the socceroos were still in Singapore and believed that they would only leave today (yeah, even though their first match is against Oman on Sunday) when in fact the Australia team had already left for Bangkok on Wednesday.
Now that I've seen Harry play 'live', a step closer would be to get within 3m of him. I tell myself it's possible. After all, I was an arm's length away from Westlife at the airport when they came! As for Westlife, my next step is of course to get their autograph and a photo taken with them.
And you know, there are too many if's once again. If not for O's, I would definitely have gone to the airport. If not for O's, I might have gone to the hotel. If not for this... if not for that... I guess I'm not hardcore enough.
To the socceroos, Good luck at the Asian Cup!

Kewell playing some golf before stepping on the plane to Singapore.I'm starting to regret not staking out at the airport yesterday to welcome him. But I have no connections and that means no way of finding out what flight he's on, which terminal or even the arrival time. There's no way I'll be allowed to spend my last Sunday before term starts hanging around the airport anyway. I heard those who turned up got to get his autograph and pictures taken. I envy them. No luck for Westlife, now no luck for Kewell either. It's about time my unlucky streak ran out.
Going back to school was a dreadful feeling. It always is, isn't it? But it being the first day of second semester, there wasn't much time for lessons. The teachers gave us the usual pep talks again and there were many changes to the staff as well. We have new Eng and Chem teachers. I have a new Math teacher too since I've moved over to Mr Lau's class for Math. None of our mock exam papers have been returned and as I'd predicted, our timetable changed. Well that's about it, rather boring really. But not that I expect school to be more interesting anyway...

So everyone, KEWELL'S IN SINGAPORE! Come say hello.
I'm going to watch him play this Saturday at the National Stadium. I'm already buzzing from excitement. The Aussie team arrived on Thursday and made a public appearance at a training session at Bishan stadium yesterday. Thank god Kewell and Viduka weren't due to arrive until today. If not, I would have kicked myself for missing the session. It was only Tim Cahill and the rest. He's an Everton player so there's nothing much to lose.
Yesterday was the barbeque at my house. The day started off at 8.45am when Nic came over for Tennis. We played from 9-10.30am. Then it was back home to shower after finishing a drink each at the clubhouse. After freshening up, it was multi-tasking time. We went through a couple of pics and some videos I had on my computer while cutting the pics for Peng's scrapbook. Lunch came. After lunch we started baking the cupcakes. When that was done, we went back to the room to watch Britain's Got Talent and Ellen Degeneares episodes where animals were brought on the show.
At around 5.30pm, Des called to say that 'they' were home. So some time after Adel came over, the three of us went down. The guests were Nic, Adel, Kat, Sri, Lin, Regine, Yan Ling, Fer, Wileen and Denise. There was enough food for everyone. Des brought her skateboard along. I was terrible at it and would have fallen if Adel had not pulled me up in time. Maybe I'll try again soon, this time with shoes and no handphone in my hand. And I think what Nic said is true -- I'm more comfortable on my own two feet. Cycling is perfectly fine for me but not skating, rollerblading and skateboarding. In other words things on wheels, or more accurately, things which I cannot use my hands to control. Nic and Adel were doing quite well.
I was sort of the chef of the day. Sri said I cooked like I was performing surgery and Nic looked like she was performing during thaipusam with that satay stick in her mouth while strumming her guitar. That was hell funny. I enjoyed listening to Nic, Adel and Des playing the guitar. Now pressure's on me to learn the drums. xD Dessert was the cake Lin, Des and I had baked from scratch the day before at Lin's house. We had had dinner there. Her parents are humourous people. Her dad gets so easily amused it's hilarious. So anyway we sang birthday songs for a few people (including myself xP) with our literally untitled cake. Then we more or less packed up and went back to Des's house. We all hung around for a while before everyone started leaving one by one. We managed to clear the food at least. It was a tiring day which passed real quickly but I thoroughly enjoyed Nic's company as well as all the rest at the barbeque.
Second semester of school starts in 6 hours. Help! I don't want to go back to school. :/

First whale, now I think I look like a beaver. You know the one in Narnia? Yeah that one.
I haven't been updating reason being I've been posting a lot over at Livejournal. I've posted 6 more entries over there after Jun 8. And I'm lazy to like post here too. Well basically quite a lot has happened since the last post.
Sun Jun 10 - Went shopping at Vivo. Bought 2 lovely new books from Page One. Dad got a new Nokia 6300 and I love all his games! 3D snake, soccer (football), and sudoku! Soccer is really fun. I wasn't sure of the control keys at first and let in 2 goals, but after a while I finally got the hang of it and emerged to win, England 5-2 Portugal! :D I haven't played till full-time yet. Dad stopped me, hmph.
Tue 12 Jun - Brother's BMT (basic military training) graduation parade at Pulau Tekong.
Thu 14 Jun - Eng and Geog mock exams.
Fri 15 Jun - SS and Lit mock exams + Nic Mok's Birthday! Happy Birthday Nic! We went to her house and gave her a surprise.
Sat 16 Jun - Played tennis for the first time! With Nic and Des. They said I was brilliant for a first-timer.
This week - 6/2 '03 class reunion at Vivo later today. Math and Chem mock exams on Wed and Thu, English oral on Friday, tennis again on Sat and an evening barbeque with the usual classmates.
These things keep me busy, but I kind of like it! At least it's not work, work, work till I drop. That would be too much. Oh by the way! KEWELL'S COMING TO SINGAPORE! Okay I meant with the Australian football team but still, he's one of my favourite LFC players although he's only played twice this season due to injury. People I like always get injured. :/ Anyway, Nic is going to see if her dad can get tickets to the match.
And OoTP hurry come! I wanna watch Sirius on screen. And cry. Also, I have yet to pre-order TDH. Going to order by this week. Goodbye!

Here's a recap of the past week!
1) I'm contemplating asking Nic to get this approx. S$45 wallet for me. 2) As you can probably tell,
I have nothing significant
to blog about (as always) but I did
rediscover my temptation for irresistible
chocolate eclairs!
3) I love the weekends even though only half of it's left. Boohoo.
4) Yes I'm still on HOL (Hogwarts Online).
Currently a Third Year there and
am looking forward to the
Dreamology 101 class
which I signed up for this term!

5) Nic's leaving for Liverpool in, if I'm not wrong, 20 days time!
6) I watched the extra time of
the Singapore-Malaysia match.
There were a number of quirky moments.
I was prompting the Singapore keeper (Lionel Lewis)
to do a Dudek but he didn't,
although he did save the last
penalty which gave Singapore the win.
7) I was also trying to spot any
Liverpool or United supporters in the stands.
There were plenty and it left me wondering
whether Nic was one of those in Liverpool jersey.
My brother was another one who also went to the match.
8) Basketball takes a toll on me.
2 down, 2 more to go.
I don't want to look back and regret.
9) 6 tests and having to stay back every single day
deprived me of much sleep.
I would do as much work as I could right after dinner,
sleep because I couldn't go on anymore,
then force myself to wake up
in the wee hours of the morning to continue studying.
What is regular sleep?

10) My dream pair of shoes.
We better start believing before we run out of time.
