watching Manchester City vs Blackburn Rovers now. and it is one seriously crazy match i tell you. when Vassell scored the opening goal for Man City, everything started happening like really fast. barely one minute later, Roque Santa Cruz equalised for Blackburn, then another minute later and Man City regained their one goal lead with an own goal from Nelsen. haha so interesting man but not as crazy as the Chelsea game.
i was so dead tired when i came back from ogl "day camp" yesterday. must be because of the street soccer after that, even tho i played gk and never run around as much as the other guys did. pick ball also not i pick LOL. anyway ryan asked me something while playing and i thought about it again while watching the Man City match. he said, do you feel scared when the defenders back pass to you and then there's a striker running towards you? and i was forced to admit that yes la, of course i'm scared. watching the Man City match, there were quite a few times where the defenders back passed to Hart, and there was once where two strikers came charging at him but he still took his time, then pump the ball forward. all done in his own pace as if the Blackburn players were non existant. haha alright this is nothing much la but its just food for thought for me. like my dad always tells me, WATCH AND LEARN :D
back to the match, final score is Manchester City 2-2 Blackburn Rovers. guess who scored the equaliser AGAIN! yup, its Santa Cruz! i havent watched Man City play in quite awhile, so its quite sad to know that Kasper is not even on the substitutes anymore ): but my favourite Corluka is improving, he's even helping in attack now haha :D
Corluka and Pedersen! :DD

EL CLASICO RESULT: BARCELONA 0-1 REAL MADRID
to be honest and unbiased, Real wasn't the better team in terms of attacking. Barca attacked about twice as much as Real, with 16 shots on goal compared to Real's 9. BUT thanks to our superb defence and ABSOLUTELY MOST WONDERFUL GOALKEEPER AND THAT IS CASILLAS (my hero, inspiration, idol, etc), we managed to cling on to Baptista's first half goal and gain 3 valuable points, extending the gap between us and our closest rivals to 7 points :D
i was drifting in and out of sleep during the second half cos i was so tired and then i would wake up everytime i hear the commentator raise his voice in excitement, only to see Barca nearly scoring which gave me like 10,000 heart attacks. but of course, our defense would be there to thwart Barca's efforts.
Why I Love Iker Casillas1. he made a total of 16 saves to keep a clean sheet against Barca, 6 of which were very good ones.2. his bravery! there was once where he came right out, almost at the edge of the penalty box and dived at the feet of Eto'o, then the ball went to Iniesta and Casillas recovered extremely quickly and pushed the ball away for a corner. phew.3. lightning quick reflexes! he saved from Ronaldinho and was down on the ground when the rebound fell to Deco which was saved miraculously with his legs. double phew.4. he's fierce. watch the way he commanded the defense and how he howled his lungs out from the goalpost. a natural born leader. no wonder he is Real's third captain and Spain's vice-captain.5. in his exact words, he said that: GUTI IS IMPORTANT FOR US. :D
outing with my slc friends was quite fun! erm a few of us met at 1 at the airport first then went over to macs to eat and talk. turns out 1807 were having an outing there too so we kinda combined. anyway, the early birds were tenghan, cuishan, jiayi, siewyuen, junmin, yulan, shihe and me. eh i realised that all their names are chinese except for mine haha. talk crap for damn long cos had to wait for vincent who could only come at 430. crap involved trying to get each other to tell our "life stories", niaoing jiayi and tenghan, trying extreme ways to get cuishan to talk cos he's super quiet haha.finally at close to 5 shihe and siewyuen had to go so we sent them off at the mrt and picked vincent up. then had a hard time persuading tenghan and cuishan to stay till 6 but we suceeded anyway so headed back to macs to play taboo which vincent brought. when they left, me, jiayi, junmin and vincent went to eat dinner at breeks and just as we finished, some 18 guys, donglin, yuang and randy came over so we all went to the viewing gallery to play one game of murderer then taboo.and it was damn funny la i think we made so much noise laughing and shouting la. dong and yuang would use soccer to describe like every single word. then towards the end vincent and i were on a winning streak thanks to the words WILLOW and CAPITAL and FORTUNE and a lot more but i cant remember haha. cos before that when we played at macs already used those words so we were like describing it in the exact same way and laughing so hard while the others were like huh?when we finally left it was about 9 then we walk past fish &co and saw that they were screening man u vs everton! so five idiots were standing outside trying to watch through the glass while the diners were bewildered by us LOL.MERRY CHRISTMAS!char/min blogged at 12:01 AM

yesterday celebrated birthday with best friends from sec 1 &2. our original plan was to go eat crabs at the crab place in joo chiat, but it was CLOSED ): and we were pissed with xiaoxian cos she still happily tell us got NO QUEUE haha. so we went over to old airport road instead. haha and we ordered sooooo much food la! couldnt finish the chicken wings and cos amanda didnt want to waste food, we almost played zong ji mi ma to decide who should finish them up. i say almost cos we decided we were too full and decided to leave it la, much to amanda's distress LOL.
haha thats the amount of lala andrea &i polished off. and we were so insistent on ordering it and it was super nice :D i think we practically ate the whole dish ourselves la, between the two of us, happily in our LALA LAND hahaha. oh ya amanda &xiaotian's bus broke down on their way to the hawker centre haha and they kept trying to push the blame to each other but i'm sure its their combined effort la!then we went to andrea's house for a surprise for me, and amelia kept trying to scare me by saying something along the lines of dumping me in the swimming pool or sth. haha but anyway the surpise was a very nice one, I AM SUPER TOUCHED THANK YOU EVERYONE :DDD well they got a cake for me and made me wait at the playground getting bitten by mosquitoes while andrea &amelia prepared the cake. and i recieved my second present ALSO REAL MADRID RELATED, and its a REAL MADRID FOOTBALL haha.okay time to blog about more china trip stuff :D
okay, here's a video featuring edwin &kuna the jokers playing this taichi rouli ball game. at least i think i got the name right hahah. we were at the temple of heaven when we saw this elderly couple playing it, something like badminton but somehow different la. then yingen &kuna shared money to buy a set for our cse class too! and i regret not buying a set too, in case the current one spoils ):
sunset in china! taken from the summer palace! haha this photo is supposed to be for fred cos he took a photo of the sunset in greece and showed sam &i so we said we'll take photos of sunset in china (me) and japan (sam) too haha. AND I STILL INSIST MY PHOTO IS NICEST OKAY :D got water reflection some more!
anyway, now that i'm back, almost all my conversations start with: oh you know in china right.......... hahaha! china trip was really really fun la and i'm so looking forward too cse class next year! confirm will be damn fun cos we all know each other now :D

I PROMISED JOCELYN I WOULD BLOG TODAY SO HERE I AM :D today i went out with her, huiyun, audrey and chengliang. to celebrate my birthday YAY :DDDDD anyway! i wanted to blog about my china trip BUT it was such a long one i cant really rmb every single detail haha. so shall just talk about the interesting bits. OH WAIT there were quite a lot of interesting bits so shall mention SOME only hahaha.tianjin was alright la (lucky we only stayed there for 4 days), but BEIJING WAS AWESOME! however the journey from tianjin to beijing was crazy cos there was a MASSIVE TRAFFIC JAM and we jammed there for 3 hours when the estimated journey supposed to be 1 hour? but the best thing was, I FORGOT TO GO TO THE TOILET DURING LUNCH SO MY BLADDER WAS LITERALLY BURSTING. up to the point that i almost couldn't take it alr, nearly wanted to pee in the pee bag in the bus okay! when we finally reached a public toilet, rushed down like a mad dog but i'm sure you have all heard of how famous china toilets are right!on first glance, the toilet looks alright BUT THE SMELL WAS OVERWHELMING. plus NO DOORS, WALLS SEPARATING THE CUBICLES ONLY WAIST HIGH. ALL SQUATTING SOME MORE. so we all took a step in, saw two china ladies doing their business, then we hurriedly stepped out again. but they were taking awfully long and practically the whole bus needed to pee so couldnt help it, we went two by two. yubing &i went tgt and we were happily relieving ourselves when one of the china ladies got up to leave. and i think she was unhappy about us walking in, stare at her in shock and walk out again, so she started scolding us WHILE I WAS STILL PEEING AND MY NAKED BUTT WAS EXPOSED TO HER OKAY. worst thing was i couldnt even understand what the hell she saying so just kept going, SORRY SORRY SORRY! some more she stand right beside my cubicle la! everything exposed to her alr sia!haha okay so in beijing, my roomie was yingen! but the room we were assigned to was super far away from civilization la! everyone elses room was like clustered tgt but ours was the only room where you had to walk down the whole length of this SUPER EXTREMELY CRAZY LONG corridor. OURS WAS THE ROOM RIGHT AT THE END. yingen said: look on the bright side! at least we're the nearest to the fire exit. TOO BAD GOT NO FIRE WAHAHA. damn scary to be in like an isolated room la! the first night i was bathing, yingen was doing pt in sarah's room therefore I WAS ALONE. scenes from various horror movies started surfacing in my mind okay. so i bathed quickly and was wearing my pjs when THE DOORBELL STARTED RINGING AND THERE WERE MULTIPLE, NO, TEN THOUSAND KNOCKS ON THE DOOR. so i hurriedly wore my clothes and went to look in the peephole. and since i wasnt wearing contacts/specs, could only see BLACK FIGURES which did no good to my already weakened heart. WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR, A KNIFE SLASHED THROUGH THE DARKNESS AND STABBED ME THROUGH THE HEART.HAHAHA no la of course not! like that i wont be here to blog alr hahaha. anyway, anti-climax la it was the teachers! haha THANKFULLY :D the looooonngggg corridor to our room was also quite scary cos the lighting quite dim. doors also very dark colour. yingen &i both fell down on that horrible corridor okay! and when we fell it was while sprinting back to our room after we visit other rooms. but i think quite funny la, i fell down cos i felt i wasnt running fast enough with the hotel slippers on so i kicked them off and when i wanted to pick them up i just fell to the ground. hahaha.so we thought of a way to overcome the scary nights in our room. and the brilliant solution was to................................... ORGANISE A PARTY EVERY NIGHT AT OUR ROOM! and we always insisted it had to be our room. ROOM 2060 YAYWOO :D damn happening sia our room, we were damn noisy but thankfully our neighbours dint complain. oh ya GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT DURING THE TRIP: I TAUGHT MY CSE MATES MURDERER! MUAHAHAHA see it is damn fun okay! at first they dint really want to play it but after i taught them and we played, EVERYONE WAS ADDICTED! hahaha and we played it like EVERYDAY! HAHA ME THE GROUNDBREAKER!ermmmm okay i cant think of anything else at the moment so shall stop for now, plus i want to watch sea games! :D
