June...

another month of hols've passed, and munus just seemed so long ago. haven't been doing much lately. mostly staying at home watching tv, playing games etc. signed up for some part-time work, though so far haven't done any office work yet. waiting for them to call me up. did some surveys though, as in finding ppl to do a 14-page long survey. took the easy way out by making a soft copy of the survey n sending it to diff ppl, and so din go out and do it the painstaking way.

some interesting stuff lately

1. chelsea broke the fa cup! :D

2. major signings by man utd. hope nani anderson n hargreaves dun turn out to be flops like ballack and sheva. henry's leaving though. interesting to see how arsenal cope with it.

3. retirement of jason mcateer. isnt' really a big piece of news, but his request to cut the pizza into 4 slices becos he's not that hungry'll always be remembered.

4. long penalty shootout btw england and netherlands u21. 12-13 to the dutch if i'm not wrong.


dengue outbreak in singapore. at least now i can claim to be immune to 1 of the 4 strains of the virus. never want to be admitted again. hospital can be so boring if u're feeling up and well by the second day. the food's surprisingly not bad though. prob cos i haven't been eating well. pls do not get sick over dengue, unless of course you've time to waste (like ns guys). so take care!

79 outing today (or yesterday). not a bad turnout actually, around 10 ppl or so. sat at ben and jerry's for a few hours, listening to the same few songs being looped a few times, chit-chatting with others (no no find it gross over yc's vivid account of dissection, and wj made some insensitive remark about dead ppl becoming fertilisers...) left earlie to get back home. hope you guys enjoyed yourselves!

End of the first yr, finally...

munus rox. back from kl after 3 days of fun and laughter there, but first, other things.

the first yr finally ended with pdcp, munus, fa cup final and yff update for wk 38 (finally..). man utd won the title, chelsea won 2 cups, and either liverpool or milan'll be europe champs. great achievement for the red devils, since they dun have to financial power of that russian. now, time to see likes of hargreaves, torres and huntelaar in the theatre of dreams next yr!

yff. well, a bit disappointing second half for me, though i still managed to stay in the top 100. so, final rank: 82, with 3473 pts. not sure if i'd be playing again next yr. see how things go.

pdcp's boring. reallie. the tutorials may be fun for some parts, but the lects... and the exam qns reminded me of the admission essay test for med last yr. about communication and stuff. the less said of it, the better.

oh, that reminds me. med application results out for this yr. congrats to those who've got in, and all the best for the rest still waiting. join medicamp 2007! the year ones esp the exco ppl're working very hard for it.

finally, munus. 3 days at universiti of malaya just dun seem enough. interesting how the um ppl bringing us to their place on the first evening made us wait outside some kfc for an hour during dinnertime, and having a futsal match on the first night there, when we're not fully rested. nvm. overall nus lost rather badly, but supposed that's been the norm (our seniors 2 yrs ago also won 1 game like us). we won tennis. played in futsal and bball. futsal's memorable, making 2 saves though letting in an irritating goal, and the um team came back from 5-1 down to make it 5-5, winning on pens. frustrated with the ref for extending the time every quarter, from 7 mins per quarter to 10 min plus. bball, well, disappointing again. had lots of fun mingling with other med ppl too. noe more ppl, and noe others better. like how my roomie teck tee's so afraid of xiao3 qiang2... and kl reallie's lots of land. so many huge shopping malls like midvalley and one utama. had dinner at a & w. long time since i tried it. watched soocer at bangsar too. not at the open-air area though, arrived just too late, and too many ppl, so locked out. we ended up watching at some cafe in the bangsar shopping mall. we'll get the cup next yr! anw quite irritated by some of the m'sians (not the um ppl), after a few of them just cut queue when we're waiting for taxis. taxi fee surprisingly cheap though, and someone even asked how they earned their living (loudly, and we've to close his mouth...) reached home late, about 3am this morn. hope everyone arrived back well! for photos, check out med blog. they should be coming soon...

The past few days

Past few days've been fun. Out of home at least for few hours each day. Tue'd stayover at glenn's house. Cheers glenn for accommodating all of us, and hope we weren't disturbing the peace and tranquility of your house (esp during the absolutely vital sleeping hours, when we're cheering and groaning and cheering again over the match). Went sch for bball today too. Reallie cool to mix with new ppl like cliff jianli louis siva rah alicia and many more whom i've never reallie interact with throughout the yr. Even went late night (or earlie morn) pool (which's terrible, my playing, though somehow got one game which me and amir managed to win without striking a single ball). Bball's great! Tiring though playing more than 2 hours (or 3, for those who came earlier), though everyone played very well. Have to say, teck tee's very injury-prone today. Beware of swinging hands next time, and cut your toenails k!

Oh, and the match. Bet most of u soccer pips already read about it. Def much nicer than the chelsea-liverpool one. Few lessons learnt from the game:

1. if u can't defend, u just need to score more than the opponent.

2. never give up, even when u're down against a tough opponent. just try and try, and u can break them down sooner or later. (side note: rooney rox, ronaldo rox, kaka n dida.. why do they've to be in milan's team??)

Vivas list out, at least for 2 tracks. To those distinction vivees, congrats, and show off to the profs why u're there next wk k! To those who just need a few more marks to pass, jiayou! Don't get demoralised over it k. Just remember how the red devils drove on to beat bayern some 8 yrs ago, and milan on tue (their time).

All even!

Well, after being a bit pissed last night, today's scores are much better. Mood improved greatly with a chelsea draw away at newcastle, after a totally disappointing 30 odd pts this week. Back to three pts lead now!

Post-exam programme aren't up and running yet. Played a round of soccer in sch on fri (which's damn fun, though many many injuries, defensively appalling, and legs aching after that), went iceskating with og after the exams (the thunderstorm make it not wise to play soccer), and watched 4 soccer matches and a few movies (at home though). Ecp tmr. Hope weather stays fine!

All the best everyone who still's a few more papers to go. The hols's here! And to the juniors, hope the essay went well today, and all the best for your interviews! To the dearest band juniors, train hard but enjoy yourselves k! GWH's just around the corner only (11th of may's the day!)

3 more weeks, more than 30 pts to make up. Next wk looks gd though!

Magnificient seven!!

Supposed to be studying now and no distractions, but just couldn't help it. Brillant victory over the romans, with 7 quality goals, even without scholes vidic saha neville. Keep it up!

7 more days. :P

10 more days..

Since life these days sort of revolves around anat biochem physio with some entertainment from epl and yff, shall comment on the latter. 3 pts ahead, which's still ok. See chelsea slipping up in their next few matches (couple of games against arsenal bolton newcastle west ham). Still, the most interesting stuff this wk's how arsenal managed not to score after shooting 29 times, with 11 on target against west ham. Their first loss at emirates (and to think i invest in like 5 of their players this wk?)...

10 more days. :P Have fun everyone in your studying! Post-exam activities, any ideas?

What the **** are the italian police doing?

Curses to them. Italian soccer's already in a sorry state with match-fixing and death of a policeman not long ago. And now they wanna join in by attacking man utd fans, even innocent ones, after some of them retaliated to roma fans' taunts and insults. For more info just check out bbc sports, skysports, or read today's papers later on. To make things worse, italian football chief abete came out n defended those police when the whole world who watched the game or followed the reports knew the truth, saying boll**ks like them owing "gratitude to our law enforcers and I don't believe those who try to make games safe can be crucified in this manner". Law enforcers, yeah rite. Make games safe, sure.

3 strikes and u're out (match-fixing, policeman death, heavy-handed police).

Happie bday keefe and to all the march babies!

Boring april fool session, cos sunday, and din go sch... There's always next yr!

So, happie bday to keefe and all mar babies like joel! :) Went out today to botanic gardens with other aladdins (got 9 in total i think) to celebrate. Reallie enjoyed ice man and other cool orientation games like polar bear and murderer.

On 3^rd April ‘07

In the midst of Moore and Guyton,

Our Aladdin chief

LAI YUSHENG KEEFE

Turned twenty-seven minus seven =)

Everyone thought him really nice

And in making decisions, very wise.

And also most honest,

Although not quite modest,

With most definitely a fetish for fries.

He had thirty-three vertebra

And looked like William Hung from afar.

But it’s just too bad

(And we’ll admit, kinda sad)

That from near, actually also lar…

So anyway just wanna wish this doctor-to-be:

A very HAPPY BIRTHDAY from we!

For Pros all the best,

Good luck beat the rest,

Levator labii superioris alaeque nasi!

End of a month, a crucial month ahead...

Sorrie, have been neglecting this blog. Just dun feel like updating lor. But now, feel quite elated seeing man utd coming out from behind to claim a fantastic victory over blackburn, and ben foster showing why he's a true red devil by keeping out chelsea so far.

Anw study break now, after cas have ended. Damn weird. Did quite well in a track that i thought i've done quite badly, and did poorly for another which i thought i've done well. The remaining 2 wks or so must jiayou, esp for biochem. 190 marks, all written, isn't funnie. At least more than half of the other 2 papers're mcqs, and the answers're given for them (just that they're hidden nicely among 4 others).

Back to football. Last 6 wks or so of epl and yff, followed by fa cup and champions league final. Clavicle fracture to vidic isn't gd at all, and my yff luck just sux lately. Whatever. As long as mu keeps winning i dun care less. Eh the chelsea match on the 9th of may i think. Who wanna go watch outside? :P

"Life's too short to have any regrets". Reallie felt that way on thur when i heard that news... How I reallie wish for hakuna matata.

Few more mins till a draw for chelsea...

Curses curses!!! Kalou just scored. Nvm. Win some lose some. :P

Mu through to the semis (and likely to the final)

Yea, gd job for beating boro, their 2nd game in 3 days. So, shall add more games to watch after the 18th of apr:

1. Mu vs chelsea. Postponed due to fa cup semifinal. Will be some time in may i heard.

2. The fa cup final. Come on. No one expects watford to beat man utd rite, esp when foster can't play against the reds. Just too bad chelsea got into the semifinal as well. Whatever.

med blog

Yea, it's finally up. Click here to view it. :P

Just watched toy story, the first one, on disney. Can't believe I forgot how the story goes liao.

Anw, more funnie stories from the world of football...

Gay times...

When Jol was asked if he had been forced to field star striker Dimitar Berbatov against his will by Spurs' board, as had been reported in sections of the media, the Dutchman was adamant: 'I'm not gay'. "It's the same as if you said to my missus that I was gay. It's nonsense. Nobody can change my mind or tell me what to do. The only person who might be able to change my mind is Chris Hughton."

And for those who wanna laugh, check out all these blunders, esp the last one, by keepers worldwide. The last one rox. :)

Study break... what an oxymoron

Yea, the cas's finally ended. 1 more month of snell and guyton bef a gd long break. :) Went out with anat grp after the anat paper to sentosa, and my whole body's still aching now (prob bball on fri and soccer just now doesn't reallie help). Still, must start building up my fitness if I reallie wanna play in munus. Dun think I can last long in any match now, seeing how I was left totally stranded by the opposing team in the last game we played this morn. But I still scored a fine header against the under-10s, my first goal since dun noe when... :p Soccer and bball rox!

Watched the replay of the mu vs europe XI match on fri. Both teams played very relaxed, as if they're on their own training ground or sth. Was a fun match to watch, as both teams just showed off all the skills without the pressure of the game. Like ronaldo stumbling over his stepovers, scholes holding the ball in his own pen box for like 2 mins bef making an horrendous backpass to his keeper (lucky heaton made a fine tackle), the crowd booing all the liverpool players whenever they touched the ball... How i wish sch'd be like that. No pressure of tests and exams.

Started to play spider solitare lately. =D Irritating game. Can't say I like that challenge all the time, esp when u open up cards that u can't do anything with (like kings for instance).

Things to do after the 18th of apr

1. Learn driving

2. Watch soccer matches outside, esp the mu-chelsea match. Scoreline: the reds 4, the blues 0.

3. Jog, soccer, bball, badminton.

4. Someone mentioned overnight bridge rite?

5. Learn to cook! Good food should be a basic necessity. Shouldn't be over-dependent on others.

6. Get firmly to top 30, or at least top 50, for yff.

7. Anything fun! Like munus etc

Lucky again!

Since i'm now too hungry (din have a gd breakfast) and bit too sian to study anymore, shall blog a bit bef lunch.

Still 9 pt lead after a tough away game at liverpool. Another sub-par performance, another last min goal, 1 red card, another 3 pts. The title just gets closer!

Ca mood now. Yff isn't helping, if my top 2 scorers are a reserve arsenal striker who onlie plays becos of injures, suspensions etc, and 1 rio ferdinand, there's indeed sth wrong with my team this wk. Whatever.

Playing cards bit more frequently in sch, ever since i started bringing cards. :p

Go for munus guys!!!
