Gravity

I heard this song as I was watching a "Numb3rs" episode yesterday... For some reason, I immediately knew it was John Mayer's Gravity, even though I've never heard it before. John Mayer is a demigod. I couldn't have put it better than frehleymayhem5 on youtube... "With its quintessence of simplicity and soul, this is definitely an extremely well-composed song."

The video starts from the 2nd verse.

"Gravity" by John Mayer

Gravity
Is working against me
And gravity
Wants to bring me down

Oh I'll never know
What makes this man
With all the love
That his heart can stand
Dream of ways
To throw it all away

Oh Gravity
Is working against me
And gravity
Wants to bring me down

Oh twice as much
Ain’t twice as good
And can't sustain
Like one half could
It's wanting more
It's gonna send me to my knees

[beautiful instrumental]

Oh twice as much
Ain’t twice as good
And can't sustain
Like one half could
It's wanting more
It's gonna send me to my knees

Oh gravity
Stay the hell away from me
Oh gravity
Has taken better men than me
Now how can that be?

Just keep me where the light is
Just keep me where the light is
Just keep me where the light is
C’mon keep me where the light is
C’mon keep me where the light is
C’mon keep me where keep me where the light is

[ends off with yet another beautiful instrumental, with the beautiful voices of the background singers]

Chasing Pavements

I caught this MTV while I was channel surfing a few days back, and everytime I happen to see it on TV I just stop and watch... The music is good, the video is intriguing, and the lyrics have so much meaning...

"Chasing Pavements" by Adele



I've made up my mind
Don't need to think it over
If I'm wrong I am right
Don't need to look no further
This ain't lust
I know this is love but

If I tell the world
I'll never say enough
'Cause it was not said to you
And that's exactly what I need to do
If I'm in love with you

Should I give up
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere
Or would it be a waste?
Even if I knew my place
Should I leave it there?
Should I give up
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere

I'd build myself up
And fly around in circles
Wait then as my heart drops
And my back begins to tingle
Finally could this be it

Should I give up
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere
Or would it be a waste?
Even if I knew my place
Should I leave it there?
Should I give up
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere

Should I give up
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere
Or would it be a waste?
Even if I knew my place
Should I leave it there?
Should I give up
Or should I just keep on chasing pavements?
Should I just keep on chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere

Should I give up
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere
Or would it be a waste?
Even if I knew my place
Should I leave it there?
Should I give up
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere

Birthday Boy

You know they say as you get older, holidays and birthdays and the like seem to get less magical year after year?

Well... This year wasn't the case :)

Went to school today to have anat tutorial at 0830... After I had gone into the seminar room, Perry called me out and he and Diana presented me a gift which Jaryl had chipped in to buy as well... I was so surprised when I opened it to find that it was the Liverpool shoebag, which I had written off buying a long time ago since I didn't really need one and it seemed extravagant... Thanks a lot guys! :)

My anat group also celebrated with me when I re-entered the class room, singing "Happy Birthday" very loudly and cheerfully :) Hahaha... After that Charles and Xin Rong insisted on treating me to Megabytes lunch since I was the birthday boy... That was really super cool, those 2 guys are fantastic.

Grace gave me my first ever birthday present from her... A bag of bones for anat O_O hahaha! It's in rather good condition though! Even though it creeps my mother out... I hope I don't get haunted or something. Touch wood.

Later, while studying in the seminar room, Eunice came in and gave me a nice little gift, which I thought was very sweet as she probably didn't know it was my birthday till that very day itself... :)

Prof Dinesh Kumar also wished me happy birthday, and treated all of us to Spinelli coffee as well! Prof Dinesh rocks man, he's the coolest tutor we've ever had! Which reminds me, I need to add him to our yahoogroups...

Then after that, Natalie offered to give me a lift home, like ALL the way home, which I thought was super cool :P I like her car haha... And she drives really well!

Dinner was great, we had steamboat with EE and family and Ah Chuan and family as well... Nice little quiet gathering where we talked to each other, enjoyed the food and company... As well as getting a kick out of watching my little nephew, Brian, entertaining himself. I played a lot of Halo 3 too haha :P

The most unexpected and fantastic part was the streams of smses, online IMs and facebook wall posts that I got throughout the past two days... People I hadn't talked to in a long time wishing me happy birthday, people whom I've lost touch with doing the same... I felt so touched and loved :)

Then it came in the late evening, when I thought it was too good to hope for... That one really made my day. It may seem like a really little thing... But it sent me over the moon. The little things that make you happy...

Many thanks to Bernadine (who was the first to wish me), Jon Teo and Shuo Jie (though idiot Chacken forgot, as usual, but you two get next spot cos you're my best friends haha)... Yi Wei and Zeying for writing such long and inspiring smses... Melody who inducted me into her Spongebob Club... And all those who remembered and wished me well, you've really made my 20th birthday one that I will remember for a long time :) thank you all!

"You'll Never Walk Alone"

Archangel

P.S. You know, Perry, Celeste and Beatrice, remember what I said about birthday wishes not really coming true at all? I really and sincerely hope that my birthday wish this year is answered, because this is one of the few times, that I've not used my birthday wish on myself.

What Goes Up...

I think I saved a life today.

Today was our second session of the early clinical exposure programme, at SGH. Pradip, Diana, Xin Rong and I got to the medical student's centre early and so we decided to walk around a bit. Little did we know that we could have saved someone's life in the near future.

As we were walking down the corridor toward the educational resource centre, Pradip suddenly spotted through the window, a woman two floors below just collapse with no warning. The four of us were uncertain at first... Perhaps a little afraid to get involved? After all, it was a hospital... But we quickly decided to get down to the floor to see what was happening.

As soon as we exited the lift we saw the woman lying face down on the floor, in a somewhat recovery position. There was definitely something wrong here, yet none of us were sure of what to do. I knelt by the woman, shaking her, looking for a sign of consciousness. The moment she didn't respond, Pradip immediately searched for a nurse. After a while, however, I managed to get some response... Semiconsciously, she told me she had a very sharp pain in her chest. I realised then I couldn't do anything for her... Couldn't help her ease her pain, couldn't help her up for fear of aggravating the situation... I could only kneel by her and reassure her that help was arriving. I don't know what the others felt at that time, but I was a medical student... Surely I should be able to do SOMETHING...

Well help soon arrived and we discovered that she was a just-discharged patient who probably suffered a relapse of her condition... A heart condition I guess... I hope she's all right now. I'm happy that we managed to help her and possibly save her life, but I can't help but feel disappointed... That I feel... That I know that I should have been able to do more.

Oh well. I hate feeling helpless. But that's all I've been feeling recently...

As he sat there listening, he soon came to realize that she was WAY out of his league... And that she doesn't have a clue. He understood then that there was not a place for him like that that he had set aside for her.

Game Of Tag

Tagged by: Tze Kwan

Game rules:
A.People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blogs and replace any question they dislike with a new question formulated by themselves. Tag 8 people. Those who are tagged cannot refuse if not they will not be blessed.
B.These 8 people must state who they were tagged by. You cannot tag the person who tagged you. Continue this game by sending this to 8 other people. People who are tagged will be blessed and their wishes will come true in the future.

1.If your lover betrayed you, what will your reaction be?
I guess I would feel like crap first, like really angry and outraged... Then I'll feel super cui that I'm so lousy that I can actually get betrayed... Then I'll form the conclusion that I'll become a bachelor for life (actually, I already have) and never dare to love again. But one thing I'll never do is beg for her to come back.

2.How do you know if someone likes you?
If I knew, I wouldn't be @#@^%$&^%#&^@%$&@^#%$&@^#$ unattached now, or so uncertain of everything, or so... Never mind.

3.What will your dream wedding be like?
My dream wedding... Will be one that will make my bride the happiest bride in the universe.

4.Are you confused as to what lies ahead of you?
Yes.

5.What's your ideal lover like?
I dunno... I guess someone who loves me back... Unconditionally.

6.Which is more blessed, loving someone or being loved by someone else?
Hahahaha... Definitely the second one. Loving someone without them loving you back will give you endless heartache. I guess the grass is always greener on the other side when you haven't tasted it yet.

7.If the person you like does not accept you, would you continue to wait for them to change their feelings?
Sometimes... That's not the only thing that you have to wait for... But I don't think the person will change their mind... If they don't like you now it's highly unlikely that they're gonna like you in the future as well. *Shrugs* I dunno. Being the loser that I am, I'm probably gonna wait.

8.If someone forces you to do something you do not like, but you know that it is in your best interests to listen, what would you do?
I changed this question because I don't understand what it's asking.

9.Is there anything that has made you unhappy recently?
Are you kidding me?

10.What do you want most in life?
To be the best that I can be in everything that I do.

11.Is being tagged fun?
Depends on who's tagging and the content of the tag.

12.If you find out that your best friend is going out with your boyfriend/girlfriend, how would you react?
I would freaking severe all ties with the both of them. But I know my best friends wouldn't do that to me.

13.Who is currently the most important person to you?
My mom.

14.What kind of person do you think I am?
A nice person who got me the autographs from the Liverpool HK tournament!!! Hahaha. Very good-natured, humourous, always sparing a thought for others =)

15.What is the most unforgettable thing/event in your life?
I have no idea actually. I guess it would be getting accepted into NUS Medicine. I've wanted to be a doctor since I was 10. Or younger.

16.If the person you secretly like cannot recognise you, what would you do/how would you react?
I would feel damn cui... But life is like that la. Full of disappointments. You just have to accept that life sucks and continue to live it. Why all these questions are so liddat one. Like I don't feel terrible enough already.

17.Would you give your all in a relationship?
Yes. IF I actually do get into a relationship.

18.If you fall in love with two persons simultaneously, who would you pick?
The one who loves me back.

19.What type of friends do you like?
People whose company I enjoy... It's not about having things to talk about or having stuff to do in common... You can just sit there in silence with your friends... And just enjoy it. Enjoy the company.

20.If you played a prank on someone, and he/she fell for the trick, what would you do?
Huh? I don't get it. Revel in the glory that your prank was a success? I always pull pranks on my friends lol.

Changed question 8 to: If the person you secretly like is already attached, what would you do?
Even I don't know my own answer to this question. Good luck answering it.

I tag... Big Sis, Ching Hui, Glorijoy, Diana, Tubahead, Kai Hong, Weixin, Yingfen

Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day by Linkin Park

My insides all turned to ash, so slow
And blew away as I collapsed, so cold

A black wind took them away, from sight
And held the darkness over day, that night

And the clouds above move closer
Looking so dissatisfied
But the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing

I used to be my own protection, but not now
'Cause my path had lost direction, somehow

A black wind took you away from sight
And held the darkness over day that night

And the clouds above move closer
Looking so dissatisfied
And the ground below grew colder
As they put you down inside
But the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing

So now you're gone
And I was wrong
I never knew what it was like
To be alone

On a Valentine's Day
On a Valentine's Day
On a Valentine's Day
On a Valentine's Day

On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day
(I used to be my own protection, but not now)
On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day
('Cause my mind has lost direction, somehow)
On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day
(I used to be my own protection, but not now)
On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day
(Cause my mind has lost direction, somehow)

Sigh... I scored again today, but I guess you can't play good football when you're distracted...

4:AM Forever

4:AM Forever by lostprophets

Yesterday I lost my closest friend
Yesterday I wanted time to end
I wonder if my heart will ever mend
I just let you slip away
4:AM forever

Maybe I'll never see you smile again
Maybe you thought that it was all pretend
All these words that I could never say
I just let them slip away
4:AM forever

Why don't you hear me when I'm calling out to you (to you)
Why don't you listen when I try to make it through (to you)
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, you never know
Hold a little tighter
4:AM forever

Maybe one day when I can move along
Maybe someday when you can hear this song
You won't let it slip away
4:AM forever

And I'd wish the sun would never come
It's 4:AM and you are done
I hope you know you're letting go
It's 4:AM and I'm alone

Why don't you hear me when I'm calling out to you (to you)
Why don't you listen when I try to make it through (to you)
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, you never know
Hold a little tighter

Why don't you hear me when I'm calling out to you (to you)
Why don't you listen when I try to make it through (to you)
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, you never know
Hold a little tighter
4:AM forever...

I don't know why I do it even though every instinct inside me... The selfish part of me screams at me to do the opposite. But I guess I wouldn't be much of a friend if I didn't do so... Not to mention it's wrong... On so many levels.

4:AM forever...

Unworthy

I am not a religious person... But tonight I pray.

I pray for forgiveness for this unworthy, ignorant and selfish soul seeking an audience with the Lord.

I pray for remission of the cancer that plagues she who does not deserve it.

I pray for her to maintain her fighting spirit, to hang in there no matter what it takes. She is strong, and I know she will overcome this... I pray for strength for her to never give up without a fight...

I pray for she who cares so much for her to find peace, to find inner peace and acceptance in this tumultous and unfortunate series of events. She works so hard, carries such great burdens, and is given such little gratitude... Surely she deserves more than this.

I pray for her to find hope, to find trust... Trust in those who treat and aid in times of need.

I pray for myself to find understanding... To find enlightenment and know where I stand... I pray for the strength to accept that which cannot be changed... No matter how badly I want it to be. I pray for discretion, to know what is right from wrong, and for the power to resist the temptation. I pray for the strength...

To move on.

Amen.

Chelsea 0 - 0 Liverpool

Wow it's been some time since I've written a match report for Liverpool... But here we go again! :P

Chelsea 0 - 0 Liverpool
Venue: Stamford Bridge
Date: 10/01/2008
Time: 1600

Today marked an encounter at Stamford Bridge that was not for the faint-hearted. Chelsea and Liverpool, a fierce rivalry started in the Mourinho-Benitez era, in a match that promised much for the neutrals. The prelude to the match had Chelsea manager Avram Grant declaring what was in the minds of the Liverpool faithful as well; should Liverpool lose the tie, they would most definitely be out of the title picture.

Given that Liverpool are already trailing far behind the Premier League leaders, and that they had not won at Stamford Bridge in over 4 years, the obvious that had been stated by the Chelsea manager should not have fazed them much. It didn't.

The match began as a nervy affair between the two sides, with both teams tentatively probing at their opponent's defence. Passes went astray, crosses were off, and players from both sides lost the ball one too many a time in the middle of the park.

Though both teams were slow to get out of the starting blocks, first to the ascendency were Liverpool. Finnan produced a deep cross from the right flank, looking to use Crouch's height. With Alex pressuring him in the six-yard box, Crouch headed his effort wide.

The next chance came to Crouch once more. This time, with Babel laying the ball off to Crouch just inside the penalty box, Crouch produced a volley with his left foot that had Petr Cech scrambling for his left-hand post. The shot was just wide. Best chance of the match so far.

By the 20th minute, Crouch could have had a hat-trick; This time he headed Gerrard's quality cross from the right flank straight into the hands of the Chelsea keeper. Though Chelsea were dominating possession, Liverpool had had the better chances of the game.

It soon became evident that Liverpool were adopting a soak-up-pressure-then-counter-attacking tactic, isolating Ryan Babel against Juliano Belletti, supposing that the young Dutchman could be the key to unlock Chelsea's defense. Chelsea were using what people call in basketball a "full court press", attempting to pressure Liverpool players into making mistakes. Fortunately Liverpool proved strong and did not crack under the pressure, taking the game to Chelsea with their stout defending and swift counter-attacking. Martin Skrtel was having an excellent game, not only strong in his tackles, but brilliant with his anticipation and covering as well.

There was cause for alarm for Liverpool in the 47th minute though, when Skrtel fell heavily on his right hand during a strong aerial challenge from Nicolas Anelka, and then using that same hand to shield himself from Anelka's body as it came crashing down on him. He had to leave the pitch for treatment, leaving Liverpool with 10 men. Chelsea regained some dominance in the process as Liverpool looked to consolidate without Skrtel for a few minutes.

However, such was the effectiveness of the defense that Chelsea did not have a single shot of note (no, not even a single shot) until the 81st minute. But what an excellent opportunity it was for Chelsea. Cutting in from the left flank, Joe Cole produced a cross that found the stand-in captain Michael Ballack just inside the Liverpool penalty box. The German side-volleyed the ball, then saw his effort sail just wide of the far post. It was a real let-off for Liverpool, their only lapse in concentration in defense not being punished by the German captain.

The last chance of the game fell to Jermaine Pennant, who had replaced Ryan Babel earlier in the game. Kuyt's cross from the right found Pennant at the far post, who headed his effort wide of the mark. Riise then gave the Liverpool fans a heart attack when he dive-headed a Chelsea cross towards his own goal. However, he got his header totally correct as he diverted the cross straight into the arms of Reina.

As time passed on a stalemate was always on the cards, with both sides pushing for a late winner. But soon enough, the referee's whistle sounded to signal the end of the match, Liverpool will have been the more disappointed side, but they can be proud of their performance tonight.

Player Ratings:

Jose Reina - 7
The Liverpool keeper didn't have much to do, but was reliable when called upon.

Steve Finnan - 7
Defended well on the right flank, and was a potent threat attacking down it as well, producing several crosses of great quality. Linked up well with Dirk Kuyt at times.

John Arne Riise - 7
Wasn't remarkable, but wasn't bad either. However he knows he can produce so much more down the left flank. We all miss his bombing runs and booming shots that would put all opposition goalkeepers' hearts in their mouths.

Martin Skrtel - 9
Played very well considering that it was only his 3rd start for the club (4th appearance) and that he played really badly against Havant & Waterlooville. Hardly put a foot wrong all game, was quick to intercept when he could, covered excellently for Finnan on the right, and blocked several attempted shots and crosses.

Jamie Carragher - 8
Mr. Reliable was just that today, reliable. Made sure that he won every 50-50 challenge and every second ball. Did not give Chelsea strikers and wingers any room to breathe.

Steven Gerrard - 7
Not a remarkable performance from the Liverpool captain today. Several passes early on in the game went awry, and he drifted too far infield at times, leaving the right flank exposed or having a lack of support. Looked tired and jaded at times.

Ryan Babel - 6
Tormented Juliano Belletti down the left flank whenever Liverpool isolated him with the Chelsea right back, but once Shaun Wright-Phillips came to the aid of his colleague, he could not handle them both. Crossing was rather poor and perhaps dribbled too much at times.

Lucas - 6
Started off well, but faded away in the game. Was shut out by the Chelsea midfield and was unable to stamp his authority in it. Did well in defense though.

Javier Mascherano - 9
Some excellent defending and covering from the Argentinian. Considering that he had travelled from the Americas just two days ago, this was a remarkable performance. Was always there to help his fellow defenders out, and didn't give the Chelsea midfield time to think as he chased the ball down. The fastest runner in counter attacks as well.

Dirk Kuyt - 8
On paper he was a striker, but on the field he played more on the right. As hardworking as ever, he produced a few crosses of note. Deserved a goal for all the hard work he put in today.

Peter Crouch - 7
Could have had a hat-trick of chances but missed all of them, especially the second shot which he should have buried. He was always there challenging and winning most of the headers though, producing link-up play of some quality.

Archangel's Man Of The Match: Javier Mascherano

Final Score: Chelsea 0 - 0 Liverpool

Midnight

Haha koped this from Matilda's blog... As you can see, I'm very bored reading about genetics on a lazy Sunday afternoon...


You are midnight.

You are darkness and moonlight and a sky full of stars. You're nocturnal, but not in a lonely way. You are the moment when an unbelievably good rock show goes into its third encore. Just when everyone starts to wonder if it's finally over, the band runs back on stage and starts another song. You are the time of night when everybody knows it's getting late, but nobody wants to go home. You are the smoke machines, still going strong, and the stage lights that make that smoke glow blue and red. You are the warm mass of people singing along in unison, the sweaty rockers, the guitar solo, and that split second when you could swear the lead singer looked in your direction.

Till We Have Faces

On the 1st and 2nd of February was the KEVII hallplay, "Till We Have Faces"... I had the privilege of being one of the photographers to cover this event, going for 3 nights in a row, including the full dress rehearsal on the 31st of January. It was great fun as I had only covered a stage performance once before (RJC Dance Night 2006 - which turned out quite bad, actually), but I think I can honestly say that I did well for this event (given that I was restricted to the balcony seats for the performance night). Some of these photos are definitely going into my portfolio man :P

The photos I'm gonna post up are those from the first night... When I got a better balcony position nearer the front. The second night was just cui cos I was restricted to shooting from way up and way back from the second level in the centre... So I left the show during the intermission that night. Well, I got the shots I wanted from the previous 2 nights anyway *shrugs*

1. First scene: Haircut for princess Orual

2. Arshvin getting killed by the king. Lolz

3. Princess Psyche giving a kiss to a woman so that her child will grow up to be as beautiful as she

4. The king shows again that with him and his knife, he can RULE THE WORLD

5. Orual showing that she has inherited some traits from her father...

6. Orual weeping over the loss of her beloved sister Psyche

7. Arshvin (now the God of the Mountain) accusing Orual for the banishment of Psyche

8. Look at the capability of my lens zoom. Muahaha

9. Swordfight between Orual and Argan, for Trunia's life.

10. Argan bowing down (literally) to Orual's superior sword skills

11. Orual proving that she and her sword can RULE THE WORLD

12. Haunted by ghosts of the past

13. Arshvin (again) in his millionth role of the night, this time as a messenger of the Gods

Once again, these are just a few of the many photos I took of the 3 nights (487, to be exact)... If you wanna see more, just find me in school or something when I have my laptop. Hahaha... It's gonna be a real headache to sort the portfolio-worthy ones into my portfolio... Argh

I Don't Know

I Don't Know by lostprophets

Today they asked me, "What do you always seem to find?"
But though I could not answer I'd have lost my way
And I could tell that this ain't right

The morning sunrise seemed to ask me
Why I tried to find the strength in people
Who had never thought about a different way of life

It just doesn't seem that easy

I don't know where to go, I don't know what to be
I don't know how to change from being me
I don't know what to say, maybe another day
I'll stop getting lost and find my way, home
All I know is gone

But the storms of weather
You know they don't seem to be as bad
If you think there's hope from here
And there's a life you should now have

I don't have answers and no questions spring to mind
So here I've ended up now
There's no more signs and the roads are blocked, aw, man

It just doesn't seem that easy

I don't know where to go, I don't know what to be
I don't know how to change from being me
I don't know what to say, maybe another day
I'll stop getting lost and find my way, home
All I know is gone

I see no reason to move on
I see no reason to move on

I don't know where to go, I don't know what to be
I don't know how to change from being me
I don't know what to say, maybe another day
I'll stop getting lost and find my way, home
All I know is gone

Age, attachment and apathy will be my downfall.

Busy Busy

Wow it's been quite a busy few days for me... From last thursday up to now, I've:

1) Taken photographs for hall play (3 nights in a row)
2) Taken photographs for Sin Yong's magic performance
3) Celebrated CNY with the patients at Kwong Wai Shiu Hospital

Will be posting up photos of these 3 events soon... First I have to select which are the nicest. Hahaha!

After waiting for 2+ weeks, I finally got my 2 Liverpool posters by mail! Woohoo! So I started a major revamping of my poster display on my bedroom wall(s). Take a look at my (and my sister's) handiwork!

Hahaha... The text on the Spongebob poster reads, "I smell the smelly smell of something that smells... Smelly". Lolz. Nice right :D

Sigh... I wanna end this post off with a song... Which I think if interpreted in a certain way... Would be what I'd like to say to someone. Hahaha.

"Dare You To Move" by Switchfoot



Welcome to the planet
Welcome to existence
Everyone's here
Everyone's here
Everybody's watching you now
Everybody waits for you now
What happens next
What happens next

I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened before

Welcome to the fallout
Welcome to resistance
The tension is here
The tension is here
Between who you are and who you could be
Between how it is and how it should be

I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened...

Maybe redemption has stories to tell
Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell
Where can you run to escape from yourself?
Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna go?
Salvation is here

I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself, to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened before

Okay gonna sleep soon... Gonna get up at 6 tomorrow to jog before going to school =P I'm getting fat from being so lazy. Hahaha. Going to Queensway tomorrow with Jon Teo and Shuo Jie to get new street soccer boots and a ball too! (which Chacken owes me for kicking it up onto the building lolz)

Feel Good Factor

Haha... I really enjoyed myself this morning-afternoon with the movie and lunch... Haven't felt that way in such a long time... =)

The guys lost ANOTHER soccer ball today. I still haven't told you about the sad story last week right, here goes lol...

Last week, I was supposed to bring my soccer ball to RI for us to play our weekly soccer. Little did I know, my ball was so hopeless that after I pumped it up in the morning, it was deflated that very afternoon. I couldn't use it anymore, so I called Kannan to bring his ball.

We met at the gates of RI, he saw me, and promply went, "Shit! I forgot to bring the ball!" Best... So, since I was gonna get a new ball anyway, we went to J8 to buy one.

That very day, in the soccer match, Shuo Jie managed to kick the ball all the way up to the building overlooking the astroturf, where there are two concrete strips arranged horizontally. The funny thing was, there are spaces for the ball to fall down on both sides, but it somehow managed to bounce in between the two concrete strips, and stay there. OMG! The odds of that happening are like 1 in 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. And it was a NEW ball some more! Hahaha...

Then today, after I left the game to take photos for hallplay, apparently Abhi somehow managed to kick the ball all the way up onto the roof right next to the clock tower, successfully losing ANOTHER soccer ball in the process. Hahaha! That's two balls in two weeks! I wonder what'll happen to the next one lol.

Must be some black magic the security guard is casting... Preventing us from playing on the astroturf anymore... Hahaha.

Crap I think I look too serious for my own good. Today Siying and Kalpana thought I was sad/angry when I was only a little bit irritated or sian... Hahaha. Oops. Then when you ask why I look so sad then I'll look so sad cos you keep on thinking that I'm sad. Hahaha! I must be scaring people off. But I don't like to smile when I don't feel like it... So... Fake. So my face is always natural lor... And I suppose natural for me is a stern-looking face. Hahaha. So sorry guys! I'll try to be less er... Stern-looking.

I think I'll start writing my Liverpool reviews once more... =) I feel great today.
