chapter 19 : wolverling

hmmm, isn't it tough to maintain a blog? how many months have passed after my last post? who would be interested anyway....

but anyway, check the new layout and my cleaned up tagbox out... i now named it 'leave a message'... i left it to be blue because, my favourite color is blue, because my favourite football club are the current fa cup champions, and the english and european champions to be, Chelsea FC!!!!

and also, no more music, cause i have learnt from train rides that the others might not like the same kind of music as much as you do! so, as much as possible... STFU !!!

how about an update on myself?

over the past 9 months or so, life has been a like a rollercoaster ride, there were no doubt ups and downs which was never experienced before, and had definately hit me in the hardest manner, so hard that i became very unhappy. i hated and blamed myself for bringing this upon myself, and of course, i am trying as hard as i could, to become my jovial and carefree old self.

some of you might be curious, what actually happened? but, this is a secret which i really want it to remain a secret in a chapter of my life. so, if you're 'friendly' enough, just know that i've been through something which i don't want you to know, try not to mention it, try not to probe, try to help me forget all about it...

i'm close, i'm leaving it behind myself, i'm determined to come back, much stronger and smarter. i'm taking it as a huge lesson learnt, and i'm taught in a hard way, never to take the same path that i have mistakenly took, ever again.

i have achieved many things in recent months, i've picked up tennis, gotten a '1-star' cert in canoeing, tried wakeboarding, went taiwan (which happened to be a beautiful country), played alot of mahjong (suuuut!) spent and lost alot of money, not earning any...

but things are about to change... now that i've gotten a job, starting this coming thursday. that's something to be happy about isn't it? auditor woooh ...

and in about 3 months, i will be 'captured' to a not so faraway island, to be developed into something called "WEAPON @#!@$%^"... shhh, this is top secret, i've got my dogtags customed made, and i call myself, "wolverling"....

alright, before i become too imaginative ... ciao ...

time check ....

well, its after exams and since when did i last posted? argh !

today is the day, we start our last weekend of 'poly life' !
today is the day, we step into our last weekend before entering the work force!
and today is perhaps the last day, i am able to sit down and type my blog post at 20 mins to 6am ...

why do all good things come to an end ???

the exams has just ended (actually ... it ended since last week... but anyway), hope everyone did well ... but that apart, we are all going to embark into our next chapter of life !!!!!! (yeah! not quite, but close... at least a taste of it...)

have heard of many cases where the internship lets you have a feel of what you are going to be in maybe 3 years time... or putting it in another way , it makes you hate your job in the future WAY BEFORE THE FUTURE.... voila !crystal ball !

but like it or not, we will have to face it... so.. look on the bright side (maybe theres some ... let yall know when i come up with one...)

mines not so bad, hp, alexendra .. few bus stops away ... have 2 direct bus ... dont think there will be morning rush ... daily transportation cost.... perhaps 80 cents per trip ... not the best of course... could be better (if only i was assigned to hp depot road)... does that make you drool already ?? catch this... might have shuttle bus trips between both hps.... wahahaha .... but dont count on anything ... might be just a fantasy ....

then, to top up that fantastic fantasy ... i hope that there will be a gym or something within the building... and i hope that i will find some force within myself to utilize my 'employee benefit' to full use ... my aim is to become that death race guy (just caught the movie at 2am ... '_____ ' like a straw .... get the message?) washboard abs , nut cracker biceps... but spare me the hair... i'd like my own ... and most importantly - chick navigators ... whoo ! mummy! i want that one !!

speaking of which, i have taken up motorcycle lessons! soon enough , i will be like batman ! can ride his batmobile and his batbike (is there a name for it?)!

ooh ! diddnt i just find the last piece of the puzzle ?

picture this ; washboard abs , nut cracker biceps , chicks and batman's class 2b and 3 licences... doesnt all these make me a candidate for the next batman movie ?!?!?!

its 6am ! dream about this and it just.... i repeat, just... might come true ...

why so serious ?????

back to school ....

hi everybody ...

its been awhile since i've last blogged (my usual opening)... and yes ... here i am ... to report my status over the 2 weeks holiday, and the present...

speaking about the present. ive seen a quote somewhere, on someone's msn display name ... which goes like this : yesterday is history , tomorrow is the future, today is a gift , thats why its called the present.... how nice is'nt it ...

anyway... i have spent my longest holidays left (attachments coming up) so no more long holidays, attending 2 camps, which of course i had fun, and made lots of friends, juniors in particular ... cause im the oldest everywhere i go... and people still ask whether im 1.1, or 1.2 ....

todays' the first day of school , and damn it .. i dont like it ... slept at 3 the previous night , heywired bio clock after all the euro action, and turned up in school to realize how close the project submission dates are .... stayed behind in school to finish up auditing project and chatted with my best friends vera and archana to discuss about the traffic conditions in indonesia and india.. apparently , not places you want to drive in ... the discussion ended at around 7.30 ? or so ... and went home la .. duh ...

the interesting part was yet to come ... i slept on the bus, and when it was reaching queensway (2 stops away from destination) , i woke up but then dropped dead and when i finally woke up for real .. i was at telok blangah (4-5 stops away).... i gasped (like literally : huuuuuurr!!!)

then calmly ... i did not rush to get down , cause from previous experience, i rushed down, and realize there is no proper crossing to get on the opposite side of the road... so , i waited till there was an overhead bridge then alighted la ....

then nevermind, i wait for the 57, very long... (pardon me with the lousy english... words from my mind...). when it finally came ... the bus driver like not happy to stop like that .... chiong so fast then stop so far away from the bus stop ... im sure he diddnt want to stop in the first place .. he was like pointing the behind of the bus to me, perhaps trying to trick me to take the bus behind... but hello !! bus numbers and routes happen for a reason ... its the only bus i can take into my village... then i was like what !!! arms wide open (try to imagine la...) .... and then he was perhaps afraid i would give him a hulk smash, and he finally stopped far away ...

i was expecting him to confront me while i borded the bus, but nothing of such happened and so just close half eye la (incase i fall asleep again if i close both....) perhaps we both had our bad days...

~just for fun~

relac only ....

its been more than a month since i last made a post, or even visit my own blog, a very good day to all of you! and thank you for tuning in to another day of 'anderson's boring life'.

other than procrastination (running circles in my head!), actually, there isn't anything to comment about. my results, the amount of money I'm investing into the economy, the way I'm ruining my eyes, and the amount of rest I'm getting.

firstly, congratulations to all who have done well in your exams, and the congratulations does not go to myself, because, again, Ive declined. its been a downhill ever since, and there isn't a sign of climbing back. nevertheless, again this time, I'm going to say, alright, its time to get something higher (well wishes to myself!),

i guess I'll forgive myself for all the spending - way of socializing isn't it? cant possibly save up and coop myself at home.

and then this is sinful, banging the buttons on my psp, squinting my eyes aiming into the cross hair, trying to shoot down a terrorist by a head shot (save ammo mah...) . if you've noticed, the advertisement 'frames' (or whatever you call that) on bus stops, besides nas silemak, theres another one telling parents to keep their children away from psps, and let me add another advice, do not play the psp on buses! i tell you, not only that its glaring by the windows, the 'gradual' motion of the buses can kill you! trust me, its proven...

and then, comes the amount of rest, I'm not trying to mock at anyone, and I'm least proud of this... i sleep at around 3am everyday, forgetting time on my psp, and then still, im getting at least 8 hours, 12 hours in fact of sleep, and then during the day, whenever i have nothing to do, ill just head into the room, lying down, singing to the tune of the radio waves...

ooh! not forgetting, i watch the Ellen degeneres show everday! arrrrrrrrr !!! arrrrrrrrrrrrr !!! arrrrrrrrr !!! but i like it, shes funny and cool! but the audiences got to stop screaming, its making her show feel like opera.... enough is enough ! (take it back and put it in your pocket!) haha.

holidays is coming to an end, how did all these time get by me and i dont notice it ?!?! anyway. enjoy it while you can, and we will be up for our final years, if not, 2 years in the camouflage designers!

ooh, and to all ex TA26 classmates, its the final year, and we've split-ED up. its alright! and hope that we'll have fun in our new classes, and of course, we shall still hang out during our lunch breaks!!!

'feeling' ?

holla !! it wont be soon before long, we celebrate yet another year of shopping for new clothes, bak kuahs, pineapple tarts, and of course ... ANGPAOS !!! a merry cny to all of you !

but yet, the festivities this year diddnt seem to affect me... probably of the upcoming exams... argh !!! honestly speaking, i should be spending right now to study instead of typing this post, which probably wouldnt help in anyway of scoring in the exams... but still .. theres no 'feeling' to start studying now ...

no 'feeling' to study , no 'feeling' for new year... then what?

how about hibernation?

no la ... life goes on .... i know i'll have to face it anyway .. so , i'll start as soon as this sunday ! sumpa !

until then ... 新年快乐!

looking back ...

i know that this is kind of late, but still , worth a mention... stepping into a fresh new year, we shall now look back to the year 2007 with my first post of 2008 ...

as always, i have always wished for a 'brand new me year', which turned out to be the same old anderson who you've always seen - ever lazy to think hard enough to get things done properly ... seriously , i think its some habit i wish i could change, but it isnt all bad is it ? i dont think thats going to change too much in the coming year. Anyway ....

now, time to travel back in time,

Beep beep beep !

Time machine capsule, passengers, please proceed into the passenger chamber (duh !) ...

Launching in 5 seconds . Buckle up ...

WwwwwwAaaaaaRrrrrrPppppp !!!

Alright, here we are, 2007 i'll have to say , its been kinda eventful, in many ways .. it has been a year where,

- Chelsea did not win the premiership , but won the FA and Carling cups, where all the sourgrapes who could not win thought were unimportant trophys !

- parents almost set my pet terrapins free !

- Singapore is close to experiencing snow (i hope not !)

- bought my psp , regretted ..

- digital camera ! sweeeeet ...

- realised my super duper hi-fi has only the radio function , and the frequency could not be changed ..

- turned 18 , did many things that i couldnt legally do , before ...

- went to Cambodia, beautiful country , beautiful people, learnt lots (good and bad things...)

- almost got myself amputated while playing soccer .

- realised how impossible it is to become a millionaire.

- and to try to get into a local university ...

- started having resolutions, which turned out to be just hopeful dreams ...

- and many other dirty little secrets, which should stay as they were ...

this is my 2007 , whats yours ??

Happy New Year

need for time !

im tired ! althought i havent been studying much .. but still ! i dont know whats wrong with the school ! here we are going to start our common tests this saturday . and here we have lectures covering topics that are not included in the common tests , instead of the much needed and at the same time , potentially life saving - the holy revision lectures ! and , im spending what could be my studying time to do my tutorials ! hello ! god only gave us 24hours in a day !

what is this ?!!

its killing me !!!!

realisation

when was the last time i added a post? cant remember .. anyway .. the pressure is really piling up and I'm feeling the 'heat' now ! yet at the same time, I'm losing steam !!! please motivate me...!

alright, besides that, there's nothing fun to share, besides i am taking my driving lessons now ! feels like the arcade! this time, for real ! and the tokens aren't cheap! yet its so fun ! even though I'm only turning rounds in the circuit (going out to the REAL road the coming lesson ! yay !!!)... and , knowing that you wont want to drive in 'daytona speeds' thrilling it might seem to be ... wet your pants then you know!

then, i have a long weekend approaching ! finally ended my photography classes ... really dread walking around taking pictures... especially taking pictures of people. never know when people will mistake you for a voyeur, snapping away with your digital camera instead of a giant camera (what do you call that giant ?C-- something...) which will make you look like you are taking real pictures in anyway.

presenting to you... ! some of the few pictures that will hopefully earn me an AD for my IS ....

Good Night !

updates updates !

Well , its been 3 weeks since I've imposed 'my rules' . everythings' been well. And to those who are guessing when am i ever gonna break the rules all at once and just give up on my 'false hopes' .... up till this point, I'm still going strong. perhaps some leeway are already surfacing, but the essence of the 'rules' are still adhered to - namely , doing my tutorials, taking down notes, and keeping my room clean.

so, until then ........
*fingers crossed*

Keep moving forward

alright, after all the anticipation , school is offically starting , with effect tomorrow (at least for me).



after all the saying that ive been a changed person. i felt that , this time round, i will have to push myself in order to keep the spirit going on. knowing myself, im not really the hypercharged type, i'll lose steam in no time.



SO , i have came out with a set of reminders, to accompany me throughout the rest of the semester, take a look ... :

hopefully these helps .... all the best !

wake up call

Being to Cambodia , to me , was a trip of a lifetime. not only that it was enjoyable, got to know many fantastic people ; of whom previously i do not know, it was more than fulfilling , and a wake up call for me.

prior to the trip, i believe that everyone was feeling the same uncertainties, of whether we are able to bond as a team, whether there are going to be conflicts within ourselves, whether the kids there are rowdy , whether we are going to be accustomed to the food there, whether are there hygiene issues, whether your bunk mate snores at night ....

i believe we had handled every aspect of the uncertainties very well, i mean personally , i believe that i couldnt have done better. but apart from that . i find that , it was indeed a huge step down , from where we are right now. Living in Singapore, i cant help but to say , i am indeed a lucky, spoiled but yet blessed brat, taking life over here for granted. only after looking at the kids in Cambodia, i have realised how freaking lucky i am being born in Singapore.

for instance, drinking water is so rare in Cambodia, people there had to either, filter their water before consumption, purchase distilled mineral water, or in the worst circumstances, drink directly from the well, which i don't think any one of our Singaporean stomachs will be able to handle. not only do you know mentally its not clean enough for consumption , but you could see how unclear it is , how yellowish it is, how murky it is, as compared to Singaporean tap water.

but yet ! back in Singapore... although theres always an issue saying how precious water is to our country , i couldn't see how is it that we have the cheek to say that, when we can even afford to play with water; clean, distilled, drinkable water.

and take education for example, every Singaporean child will have to go through a compulsory 10 years of basic education . but over at Cambodia, have you ever wondered how lucky you are if only you could afford education? and for those who could afford it. you would well wish that theres some quality education going on and a conducive learning environment. but sad to say . its a big no.

just as we have our man made eco ponds, they have a makeshift 'lake' caused by rain. just as we have our soccer field, they have a vast piece of unmowed grass patch. just as we have plastic tables (of which often falls victims to vicious metal rulers), they have unfinished shabby wooden tables. just as we always have textbooks for reference, they have only their own notebooks to depend on . just as we have air conditioned half filled lecture halls, they have congested classrooms, where about 80 kids squeeze into a classroom about 3/4 of ours.

imagine those circumstances, but yet the children had no complains, because they have this never dying thirst of knowledge, because they know that education is their only way out of poverty. a university education is the only way they could possibly work in the bank , which earns them about US$80 a month- about SG$ 120...

i admit that it is the fact that we are living in Singapore. in this materialistic, extravagant, concrete jungle for the high fliers.

and i do admit that we cant possibly immerse ourselves in the lives of the Cambodians. that i believe, indeed we do have a difference in the course of life . but the least we could do is that there is a serious call for a change in attitudes. do be aware of the difference in situations, only then , do we know about how blessed we actually are, and how much already we had taken this blessed lives of ours for granted...

be thankful that we are not born into a place :
where potable water is scarce,
where education is rare,
where having new clothes to wear is a luxury,
where the roads never fails to bring you motion sickness,
where your bed is a grass mat on a wooden bunk,
where you have only one dish and plenty of rice for every single meal,
where the drainage is a two way traffic (it comes in and out !),
where your teachers plays truant instead of you!
where you have only your pair of flip flops , for all occasions !
where you visit the zoo everyday,
where your definition of wild wild wet, is a little stream by the padi fields,
where you don't know just how many family members do those bugs have,
where you could kick a freaking hard sphere thinking its a football , barefooted !
where the idea of a cement mixer, means you mix it .... by hand !!
and when you have only 12 hours of electricity everyday.

just be thankful .......

I'm back !

whooo .. its been 2 weeks .. hope you guys are all fine...

there were many beautiful memories back at cambodia, and i will further share all them with you people when i get all the pictures .. until then ...

Happy Birthday to Raymond and Tee

Carefree!

erhm! dont get me wrong... not advertising for something related, but yet , not so related ... argh!

exams are over! and rotting everyday. guess and hope this wont last long, because im getting bored of it already.

the good thing is that, the exams are finally over! it had been an excruciating 2 weeks for me, using all my strength to pull my socks up, as high as i could. especially when im still carrying a swollen ankle. double torture.

guess afterall, i havent learnt my lesson from previous semesters- that is to put in effort constantly throughout. its again the last minute stuff. only until the week before, i know the difference between, rights issue and bonus issue, debentures, and non-redeemable preference shares. but, alls good, or at least for now, its off my mind.

never mugged so hard for an examination before, not even the 'o' levels, guess, its either im just the type that leaves everyting to the last minute, or its that im starting to take things seriously. the latter i hope, describes me.

its can only get tougher, and every semester is a hurdle, so . lets not be a laggard anymore! its time to get ahead!

then comes the holidays, ever since the start of it, let me tell you , i have never been out, only once to school , and another one more time, which is later, again to school. although i enjoy the times of not needing to study, i hate the time alone! its killllllling me !

i am always happy slacking, but on the other hand, it gets very boring, not sometimes, but everytime.

but i hope the coming weeks will be more eventful, filled with funtivities, where its getting closer to the cambodia trip, and more and more preparation will have to be done. its about 2 weeks to the bonding camp. and about 3 to the trip itself.

looking forward to the trip more than anything. never been to a place farther than thailand (is cambodia further?). anyway, and never been to somewhere away from home, for 2 weeks! whooo! free and easy.

by the way, changed the blog song to a happy one, take a listen, lightens my spirits, hope it does the same to you.

bye for now .......

Thank You !

Hello, everyone, the purpose of this post is to extend my appreciation to all the help the people provided me with, during the duration of my injury , to the people who showed an ounce of concern. If you are one of them , please know that this post is dedicated to you, and even if you are not, please continue to read on so as to be informed about the fact that these people, are helpful , compassionate and caring beings, who are always there when you need them, and are all the more worthwhile of being friends with.

I really got to share this with every single one of you!

Friday, August 3rd. 27 days since my injury. 15th days since i last saw my left leg hair, wonder how are they down there.... and 10 days of going to school with crutches.

I have been active in school , attending it just like any normal student, not missing any lessons or anything, especially the care and concern of my fellow classmates, whom made my attendance in school possible , and whom i am very grateful towards during this period of my life.

I finally got my own taste of how a 'physically disabled' person experiences school life. Its not easy, and i really admire the determination to carry on with their lives, just like every one of us does. I can assure you, that deep in their hearts, they need help, hoping that you reach out a helping hand. And for sure, they will remember what kind of a kind soul you are giving them just a little help .. maybe just holding the door open for them.

So, next time, make sure that you reach out to them, spread the love , I assure you , they will thank you from deep inside their hearts, because i know they really needed it. (no matter how independent they appears to be)

Time after time, i feel real helpless, because i have only my hands and one leg to move around. sometimes, at bedtime, i was so desperate that i attempted to remove the cast like how i remove my shoes, but of course, i did not succeed as i know that, i could not prolong my 'casting period' any longer, if i was to go to cambodia. and i want to walk on two , but not three legs . and somehow i realise, i will need to pry open the entire cast in order to remove it (sly move by the hospital huh !? no wonder its so high up).i could say, i really feel helpless at times. my arms are always aching. my afternoon siestas will end with massive cramps in the arms. My 'good leg' is always tired, its as if i ran the 2.4km, hopping on one leg. no joke.

To those who are really concerned, i just couldnt bear to show my fatigue. im really tired of all the crutches walking. i hate it. i cant wait to get rid of it. so that i will be fine again , easing all your worries. and again . Thank You, if you think that your heart skipped a beat seeing me almost losing my balance.

To my classmates, they are indescribable. They are wonderful . and i really appreciate the times when they delay their lunchtimes, while accompanying me wait for my father to pick me up, the times when they walked me to the safety of my parents. I really appreciated that, because its really a 'to the doorstep' kind of thing. right to the sight of my parents, regardless of it being my father or mother. Thank You !

To those who sent their regards, even if you might not know my name, even if you have only seen me once, no matter how seldom i actually had time to stop by for a casual chat. i really appreciated those regards, as it really pushed me on knowing that i have a friend who recognises me , being curious about what actually happened, and it will always end with a heartfelt 'take care' or 'get well soon'. which i'll always take it literally, no matter how casual the phrases was blurted out of a person's mouth-that i've got to take care of myself, and get well soon. i really appreciate that, and again , Thank You.

To my parents. right from the day the accident happened, i could see that they are more worried than i am, and in many occasions, i told them to be rational enough to handle things as they are, the accident had already happened and nothing is going to reverse it, let alone their worries, which are the least required at this point of time. to no avail, they continued to worry, but now discreetly. I could see from their body language, i know that they are trying their best to hide it. I dont blame them , but deep inside, i understand that its only natural to see their flesh and bone in such a state. I really need to repay them in someway or another, but i dont know how. i know that thank you will never be enough, but Thank you !

To whom who had concerned,

Thank You ! and im alright now , give me some time before i start walking normally . just, give me some time .

My Leg II

Alright .. i'll continue from here...

then at SGH . i got on a wheelchair .. and got around the A&E, go for x-ray and stuff ... then saw the doctor , she said . according to the x-ray , im fine. no serious fracture and stuff. just rest for a few days, i'll be fine and kicking again ! i was super glad .Until she instructed the nurse to inject me in my butt ! awwww !! its been some time since i've had an injection since the days when i dislocated my elbow, back in sec2. when the needle went in... i could tell you , it was more than an ant's bite. its piercing. could feel the needle's friction in my flesh . till i let off an audible argh ! that the nurse apologised.

you know . i diddnt blame anyone . but its just a 'phobia' i should say , that i developed back then . i wasnt afraid of injections at all before. but until recently , the last time i had plenty till i got scared of it. i remembered there was this plastic tube, size of a yakult straw, into the back of my hand. its an 'adaptor' to further inject some anesthesia (whoo! i got this right in the first attempt), while they fix my elbow back into position . then it was again, a cast , and then disaster striked, i developed chicken pox, after i was discharged after a one night stay in the hospital, and you know, there will be fever following , i had high fever, something close to 39 degrees celsius, i remembered, and i had to be sent to hospital again , for some vaccination and blood tests. 2 injections in a night. its real bad man. seriously, i pity myself for that.

but , where was i ...? ooh.. ya ,the nurse apologised and yes, i got wheeled out, and collected medication . i thought to myself, yes ! at last ! from that day onwards, i was limping .. wherever i walked to .

but days gone by , the swelling did not subside, but it got worst as i carried on with my daily activities, going to school , walking around , until it was covered with bruises all over. until it looks like a zombie's leg. i thought it was normal, and so , i planned to wait until i see a bone doctor (i forgot the word for it). until one day , the doc, called to bring my appointment forward. and then i went for it .

then the doc told me there was a very minor fracture, and if i do not cast it up, there will be repercussions when i grow old .

thats how i got it casted up ...

THE END

My Leg !

The following post contains violent and gory images, viewers' discretion is strongly advised. Children under 16 is advised to have parent's accompaniment upon reading the post. (NC-16)

Hello hello everybody! today , im gonna take this opportunity to inform and educate everyone of you about what actually happened to my leg. Hence, this press confrence is held. as you could see the state of it right now, with the bloody crutches (not literally ,of course) and a stupid looking cast. i am carrying a fractured leg. sounds serious ? not exactly, its actually a very minor fracture, quite invisible to the eyes of a normal person ... how i wished the doctor is a normal person (saves me from all these trouble).

Now, right to the beginning, 7th July 2007. It was the day of my event. 'chill out soccer night'. Turns out to be kinda successful . lots of my buddies turned up, to support the event. thats why i say , they really rocks the world. i owe them one. Thanks ! alright. now comes the main story, it was piacial (farhan, wang, kt, wilson, me) vs i dont know what (but one guy from that team directly caused the injury-yanting is his name btw).

kick off. wang shot from the halfway. got deflected off the wall onto another player of team i dont know what. with his face towards his own goal. unaware that i was behind. i went forward to tackle the ball. got it ! but the touch was too heavy . then i went forward to chase the loose ball. then comes yanting. coming forward, chasing hard just as i was. dashing towards the ball , i tried to gain control of it. but then came an idle leg, i collided into the guy, losing his balance, as much as i could remember, he stepped onto my ankle and i fell straight onto the ground, back first, skidded on my back for a few centimetres.

not sure whether my jersey was torn or what (i haven't checked). i was stunned. immobilized for awhile. then i knew something was wrong. i couldnt move my leg. it was all numbed up. i looked to check if it was broken or something. phew. it was not. but the left ankle was immediately swelled up. about 1-2 shoe sizes more. players start crowding around me. checking if i was still concious. some conversations with me.

unknown player 1 ," can or not? can get up?"

myself," wait . let me rest for a while more."

unknown player 2 ," i think you cannot play already la . get up to sit aside first." sympathatically.

myself," DUH ! like that how to play !?" im sorry ! i was rude. not in the right state of my mind.

kt," anderson ! cannot play right? go and be keeper." i tell you .. i felt like punching him --- if i only i could....

then shi bin came . and got me on my one leg. i hopped off the court to sit on a bench. the game went on . until the end of the game. which we lost, the rest of my team came to check me out. i waited for the other team to get out, and of course for yanting to come check to see if im alright. to no avail. he went back to his group. opposite the court. then i told jieyong to ask him over. i need a word with him. and so he came.

myself," eh , you know what happened just now or not ? you stepped on my leg you know ? look , its all swelled up. i might claim medical bills from you if it gets too heavy for me to handle you know ?"

yanting," yes. but you know, it was not unintentional (WHAT !, but i know he meant otherwise, was just nervous or something). you should know, its soccer. this kind of things will always happen. you know ? and i dont have cash in my wallet right now. "

myself," i know, but i also know that its not fair for me to bear my own fees, its not like i was doing a silly stun and i got the injury, its you who stepped on my foot ... not even 20 bucks ? (no he replied) then i told him, alright, nevermind, give me your contact number. i will get back to you ." and so he did. i dont know whether he gave the real one. cause when i called him to give him my own number, his phone wasnt with him at the point of time. but nevermind. if he really gave me a fake number, that goes to show his real character.

then soon after that. 9pm, the lights of the court goes off automatically. and so , everyone packed up and left. his friends came over to apologise. and i accepted , thought it was just a sprain and it would heal naturally over a few days. then i asked if my gang, wanted to go for supper. and so we went. gary came and thank god he did. drove us over in his 'wish'.

when we arrived, the guys told me to check whats wrong at the clinc. and we registered and went on to supper. kt was piggybacking me . as i was hopping all the way from the carpark across the road. it was still continuing to swell. i thought i need not inform my parents so as not to worry them. you know they always over react....

then we had supper, and went back to the clinic with kt and wilson. the tv was showing rhianna was on live earth. then came my turn. the doctor told me that the swell looks serious for a sprain. and so refered me to SGH. and now. i had no choice but to inform my parents, to drive me to the hospital. then they saw me into the vehicle and we went to SGH....

wow .. the post is long.. i'll continue in the next post ... to be continued

wow .. its fast isnt it ... 2 weeks passed ... i thought i took the audit paper just yesterday ... nah ... yesterday was effectively the last day though .. got an extra day because i diddnt have to go for i&e meeting ...

holidays was fun ! whoo ... interviews aside ... envoys camp was real fun ... made lots of friends ... and learnt about how to have fun .. and have more fun !!

gotta post the funny pictures as soon as i get them ....

other than that ... its the start of a new term ... guys and gals .. please work hard ... and play hard ! cant wait to see you people again tomorrow .. dont be late !

uninspired ....

argh .... its so hard to search for that little drop of inspiration ...

on my free day at home ... i am trying very hard to come up with a post ... nah ... cant squeeze anything out of my mind ...

i turned to my dictionary ... seeking for help ... seeking for the touch of wisdom ... nope ...

listened to songs ... paying full attention to the lyrics ... nope ...

whats the most interesting thing that happened during the week?

tuesday onwards, i have been going back to school everyday... first it was the BA society interview ... which i think is absolutely for the superficials (lets hope none of them will be visiting my blog , somehow) ... trying to get you to say that you will commit to the society till you die !! seriously ... but how to ?

wednesday was the cage ... was fun ... right on form ... scored a few .. made a few ... but whats there to comment about ? won't be interesting at all ... for these things , one have to live it to experience it ... so , i'll spare you of the commentary ...

then thursday .. comes cambodia interview ... by both lecturers that have taught me in my class ... it was more of an understanding session rather than a formal interview , knowing that we actually know each other already ... was fun though ... i seriously hope that i will be accepted ...

i need time off and away ....
