Looking at my friends in relationships, seeing how they have changed for their partners. I wonder if they are happy this way. I definitely wont be happy. If I had to change myself dramatically or to abandon my life/friends, I would rather be single.
Yes, I wasnt asking you to commit yourself or changing your lifestyle. Why cant a couple have their personal life outside their relationship? If life only revolves around the two of them, life is real sad.
Its 430 am in the morning and I cant get to sleep. I have nobody/nothing to turn to, to let my frustration out. The feeling of loneliness is really terrible, yet I love being alone at times, though not in the middle of the night when I should be sleeping. I reach out for the Tiger in the fridge, not that I like it but its the only beer in there, downing it within 5 mins. Tiger really tastes horrible, I gonna stock up my carlsberg tomorrow. Maybe I should try Vodka Redbull or Malibu Coke or a few shots of Cock Sucking Cowboy or just plain tequila or butterscotch.
Shit man! I got econs mock at 1oam later, which I really want to go after missing out on last year. but I guess I cant wake up in time. Hai, preparations for this year exams are worse than last year. It would be a miracle if I complete my degree in 3 years...thats if I can pass econs in the first place.
I just realise I appeared in March's issue of FHM Singapore. Though it wasnt a feature on me, I just happen to be there when the photo was taken and cant see my face...but I am sure it was me. Its those blink and you will miss it kind of pic...like finding Wally in Where's Wally comic books.

Carling Cup Final 2007
Chelsea 2 - Arsenal 1
Wonderkid Walcott scores a wonder goal to give Arsenal the lead.
Deadly Drogba beats the offside trap and equalises.
JT gets kicked in the face by Abou Diaby and goes down unconcious.

Lampa and Fabregas intervenes and end up fighting each other.
Everyone gets involved including Whinger and Moanrinho.
Referee Howard Webb remains in control and red carded Mikel Obi, Toure and Adebayor.
Adebayor is incensed and refuses to leave the pitch.
John Koh wonders why Adebayor is sent off.
12 mins of injury time.
Chelsea wins the League Cup.
I have just witnessed of the most amazing and dramatic League Cup Final ever.
I was chatting with this friend of mine on msn when she commented that ODAC people blogs are so boring. And I told her that with amount gossips, rumors or news spreading in ODAC, its not surprising that people are not blogging the juicy part of their lives. They prefer to keep it safe and blog generic things.
Disappointments follow disappointments.
Seeing things that I dont like to see and seeing it once again.
My long awaited Hong Kong trip is cancelled due to weird reasons and bad planning by the person paying for my trip. Hai, shouldnt complain so much.

This must be one for the most boring Chinese New Year for me.

Yesterday was a terrible day, first I burnt my leg against Caleb's Phantom Exhaust pipe, then Mr Nicotine found his way back to my lungs, it had to rain while I was walking to work, my supervisor threw away my dinner by mistake and I had to eat the same company meal provided since day 1 and to end the night, my manager discovered that I was drinking during work due to my lobster face and warned everyone not to drink.

I dont really wanna post this but I cant resist. 13 is suppose to be an unlucky or inauspicious numbers. I guess it really is. At the age of 13, I was told a statement which is equivalent to "I am not ready". Exactly 13 years later, I was told again another statement which is equivalent to "I am not ready". 2 different questions, 2 different person, 2 different answers but same ambiguous ending. There is a Hokkien saying, "Left hanging by the balls" and "Balls hitting the stick". Ya, that's what I am feeling right now.
Its 5am in the morning and I am still cleaning my room. Cleaning all the grim and dirt and clearing all the shit from the Wildboar's Lair.
3 more days to CNY but I am not looking forward to it. I have been switching to 98.7 and Class 95 because 93.3 has been playing all the crappy new year songs. I think I have reach the age where CNY has lost its significance. Its just an excuse to gather, eat junk food and gamble. And of course, splurge money on new clothes!

Working at Cafe Del Mar is really energy sapping. Overworked, F-up system, the only redeeming part is the music and crowd, though I dont have much time to enjoy them. Really comtemplating to go back to Attica. With lesser hours and better system and less politics, I can get more or less the same pay, maybe lesser but I have time for myself. The politics there is incredible, at Attica, the politics is probably among the managers but at Cafe Del Mar, the politics among the service crew! Not to mention service crew sucking up to the managers. I miss Attica's Family environment, though I am not sure how the new management is like.

Its 4am in the morning and I cant fall asleep...Why did I have to read that at 3am in the morning? The answer is probably still at Jiak Kim Road and here I am tossing and turning in bed...... wondering about things...... Oh please dont tell me I screwed things up again...
Several friends of mine have commented that my blog is going stale...BORING! Maybe I should post something controversy, juicer....
*Warning* The following may seem to be directed to somebody, but its really comments in general. Please dont be offended.
We all know that people like to gossip. Especially when they gather during their free time, be it during lunch breaks, supper or during chilling out sessions. But do people know that gossiping is harmful? Just like how curiosity kills the cat, gossiping might actually harm relationships or even kill. When gossips pass from A to B to C to infinity, the truth gets distort and eventually when it reaches the object of discussion, its usually blown out of proportion.
I have notice that for the very same person who likes to gossip, when the grapevine is on them. They turn silent and pretends that nothing has happened and changes the topic. If you like to talk about people, be prepared to share with others when the spotlight is on you.
For the gossipers, their defence might be that they are sharing information with each other or they call it catching up. You know what is called catching up? Catching up is updating each other about what is going on in your OWN life, not updating each other about who your neighbour's dog is sleeping with! Thats called talking behind other people's back.
Personally, I try not to gossip about others. When I find myself in a gossiping session, I try my best to only listen for my own info and not spread it to others.
DO NOT DO ONTO OTHERS WHAT YOU DO NOT WISH OTHERS TO DO ONTO YOU.
WHAT GOES ROUND, COMES ROUND.
The above are my thoughts, lets now carry on to my life since the last meaningful post. Basically I have started work at Cafe Del Mar for 3 weeks coming to a month.I can say that I am overworked though I only work Friday, Saturday, Sundays and the occasional Thursday. Its due to the lack of staff - competent staff - plus the fact that its a new place and everything else is haywire. I work 12hr shifts on Friday and Saturdays and have to start work on sunday with less then 8hrs rest. So I stay over the morning in hotel rooms which our boss booked for us in the opening weeks and we pooled money to book a chalet to rest in for the previous week. I really hope they can settle the manpower issue asap. My energy is so drained that I need Monday and Tuesday to recover. Depriving me of time to settle my own stuff. Especially this pressing issue that have been dragging for a few weeks and its rather disturbing. I hope that it would be resolved by Monday, so that I could enjoy my CNY and prepare my exams in the right frame of mind.
I was surfing friendster yesterday, looking at an acquintance's profile. Then I realise that she's buddies with these gals I have notice around in school. The world is so small, as I surf on, I realise that one of them is linked to my ex Attica colleague. As I surf on friendster, I found my links thru friends to other friends, didnt know they knew each other as well. The world is truely large yet small.
Shit, no mood to blog liao, just read something disturbing....

I can say I am relatively satisfied with my schedule. No sundays burnt and most importantly, no lectures on my birthday!

I cant help but post another tribute to Alan Shearer. After all, I have been following his career for 14 years till he retired in May 2006. He scores with his left/right foot, with his head, from freekicks/penalty kicks and almost everywhere. The best things is he rejected Alex Ferguson and Man U TWICE. He gave up the chance to win silverware to return to his hometown and almost won silverware with them. Sad to say, he was only the 1994/1995 Premier League Champions to show for. But he retired as the all time leading scorer in the English Premier League, Newcastle and Blackburn.
This last video is taken by his 15 year old daughter on her handphone after he retired from soccer.
