Treat-the-teachers session!

Ha. Class outing at dragon pheonix last nite. Not too bad. Most ppl turned up, and reallie quite nice to see everyone again. Food's gd, karaoke's fun to watch, and basically had gd chats with many. Mr. remedios, mr. lee and mr. tan're the onlie teachers who turned up though. Would've been better if more of them came. But nvm. Then after that we all split, those who wished to go home go home, those who wanna watched soccer went mr. lee's house (quite a fair few), and many others (inc me) went to watch a 0015 show, v for vendetta. At least fewer ppl slept this time during the movie, compared to that time at genting, Great show, nice humour, some blood 'n gore. Ended at two plus though, which's.... not too late. :p Went home, on the tv, on the comp (after taking a bath), n was quite happy with the epl results, esp the scorers. Broke into the top 1000. =D Din get into mit though. Nvm.

Some funny stuff...

Topless bother...

St Etienne defender Fousseni Diawarra was involved in a cringe worthy incident at the weekend that brings a whole new meaning to the phrase 'Having a nightmare'. However, instead of acting out the most dreadful dreams of turning up to school or work stark naked, the Mali international attempted to enter the field of play as a substitute without his shirt. Team-mate Loic Perrin had sustained an injury and in the five minutes it took to find a jersey for the forgetful stopper Marseille scored both goals in a 2-0 win. An embarrassed Diawarra offered an apology that had the whole of France howling with derision. "I know everybody is laughing at me," he said. "I have penalised the whole team and apologised to them. I am so sorry, after the match I couldn't sleep. I don't know why it happened, I was sure I was wearing my shirt. Marseille's stadium is very big, that's why it took so long to find the shirt."



Some time ago...

Jose Mourinho is never one to bore his audience with the usual tired clichés and stock footballing phrases, and The Special One has now lent his poetic hand to the shocking state of Chelsea's pitch ahead of the visit of Barcelona.

After denying the English champions were deliberately recreating a World War I battleground to put the Catalans off their stride, Mourinho, in a mode reminiscent of Ian Holloway, has insisted that whilst the Stamford Bridge turf is not much to look at, its hidden depths mean it is a thing of beauty. "Sometimes you see beautiful people with no brains. Sometimes you have ugly people who are intelligent, like scientists," said Mourinho, risking the wrath of chemists and rocket scientists the world over. "Our pitch is a bit like that. From the top it's a disgrace, but the ball rolls at normal speed."



And finally, something that makes west brom vs man utd a great match to watch this weekend...

Short changed...

Tomasz Kuszczak has revealed the secret of his recent heroics between the West Bromwich Albion sticks. A breathtaking save denied Wigan's Jason Roberts a last minute equaliser and confirmed Albion's first away victory of the season and for the Pole, superstition in shorts, it seems, is everything. "Against Everton we won and I kept a clean sheet. I didn't realise until afterwards that I had my shorts on back to front for the entire game. After that I just kept wearing them back to front because it brings me luck. We've had more success since I've done that so I'll keep on doing it!"

Nee soon!!!

"Very xiong!" Kee sheng.

"One of the most useful vocation..." Mr. Lee.

"Simi lanjiao!" Raymond (band member wanna be, who got into medic).

Ha ha. Sounds like band?

How I hope.

Posted to smm, which stands for singapore's m n m! Making yummy chocs for the army ppl!

Coming to the end of block leave...

Sad rite. All gd things'll come to an end. =D Enjoying block leave now. Went out nearly everyday (except tue), to get references, send mails, go for interview, have lunch outings, open houses... Nice life!

Short update, cos I dun reallie have much time. Went SP interview earlier in the morn. Have some hope of getting it, but what reallie strikes me's the friendliness of the ppl there. One of sp people sit down n talked to us (the interviewees) who're waiting down there. Talked a lot about sp, uni, n even ns! Think she's shocked that i told her pegasus coy allowed us to watch movies one fine afternoon. Interview quite short, around 15 mins, partly becos one of the two interviewers'd an urgent meeting, so left onlie one to speak to me. HA!

Soccer!

Ha. Played soccer today at chs with a couple of others. Think most of us're quite rusty, with wayward passes n tackles n shots, not forgetting me repeating the howler of not letting the ball roll out, but instead trying to control it, n ended up presenting a goal to the opposition. A little deja vu... But overall quite fun!

Mu won, liverpool lost. What does this show? Mu rox! :p

Anw, went ntu n nus open house last weekend. Think everyone's a better idea on what to apply... I'll wait. But def nus if wanna stay local. Found its campus nicer n easier to navigate around, not forgetting more bus services out of the sch!

SAF band auditions...

Yeah. Went nee soon camp this morn. Not too bad a place. 40 min bus ride, which's nothin compared to the time taken to go tekong. Though for some reason the band hq's located quite far in. Had to climb slopes n walk far to get there. Nvm. So, started with practising one piece for a while n playing it in front of an officer, before sight reading another piece. Somehow felt sight reading piece's easier to play. Weird. Must be the accidentals present before many of those notes n weird places in the main piece.

Anw, saw quite a few hc band members there. Even saw seng han (outside nee soon camp), who got a one bar on his shoulder, and got posted to seletar camp. Went with raymond (another pegasus guy), who somehow managed to drop his visitor pass along the way to the auditions. So, took some time to search for it, tracing the route twice, finally finding it with a cleaner uncle who's using some machine to suck dry leaves up. If we hadn't found it, had to go make police report, go cmpb, pay fifty bucks as fine, n finally taking the receipt back to nee soon to get back the 11b. Might as well just buy a new 11b lor.

11b refers to the ic btw.

Chelsea sux. Seriously. Can't stand their attitude. Glad they met barca in the quarter finals, who easily strolled past them! HA HA.

Block leave le, which means essays to write. Sigh. Nvm. Two apps down, many many more to go! :p Jiayou!

Still waiting for the news from imperial. Damn.

POP soon...

Decide to blog bef starting on the strenous process of applying for scholarships...

24 km over! Hurray! Even though the route we took's 2 or 3 km longer than that, and involved going around in circles n thru weird places. There's one part where it's so dark that we couldn't even see the person right in front of us. Our CO said it's one of the toughest 24 km ever. So, well done sch 2!

Anw, release of results last wed. Those who've done well, great! Those who haven't, don't lose heart. Still got a long way to go. Have fun applying for unis n scholarships!

3 more days to pop...
