three plays in a week... hahah
dan will know what i'm talking about!
Hamlet, My Mother's Wooden Chest (translated from malay), and Traveling Light
but they were fun

something stupid:
(i keep accidentally ordering stuff! cos i just agree to whatever the person behind the counter says even though i either can't hear what they just said, or i wasn't paying attention haha... dan and pat can testify!)

anyways, i think i've become meaner since the start of this year
really, really mean :(
i'm sorry, everybody i've insulted with whatever i've said!
especially worse-than-a-rock-Keed!
and drowned-crickets-in-the-brain-Bong!
and crows-appear-whenever-he's-near-Borge!
as for the others...
haha Jeremy really is a freak,
Zong"d"e i haven't insulted much (and he's yet to pay back $1.50!)
and Jerrald... really is weird sometimes! haha
but as i've said, weird people attract weirder people
and i'm finally ready to admit than i'm one of those "weirder" people
hahaha



finally watching the Soren Mongkontong King (right) vs Sean Wright (left) fight
they didn't show it during the Contender Asia finale that they showed on television
maybe because it didn't have anything to do with the actual show, other than the fact that they were both contestants
yess! finally got to re-live my time at the Singapore Indoor Stadium!
hahah

as i was telling Syaz the other day, my infatuation (yes, i'll call it what it is- not love haha) with Soren didn't begin from the start of the show
i mean, when i watched the first few episodes, i must admit that i thought Sean was cuter! haha
then the Soren vs. Alain fight came about, and i started noticing that Soren was not bad looking,
especially from the part of the episode when he said that some fighters get angry before a fight,
but he just gets quieter (i dunno why, but that recommended him to me)the Soren vs. Alain episode

and finally, the determining factor, the episode when their family/ friends came to visit them
and Soren's mum came
and i saw how much he loves his mother, and the great relationship between the two
and just like that, i fell!
i'm such a sucker for boys who love their mums! lol
maybe because it shows that they're not brutes? haha

and that, ladies and gentlemen, was The Great Singaporean Love Story - NOT!
hahah
learnt that from Borat
(yes, i finally watched it!)
he was learning how to be funny in an American way
and the person who was teaching him said that American humour leaned in that direction
like how they say something... -pause- and say "NOT!"
but Borat was totally messing it up haha
ok ok, digression

am going to nap now
good night/ evening!

fina*

p.s. conversations in college has since become more intellectual
a common convo between me and Pat or Keed or Borge can go like this
*please note that everything's said in Borat-accent
the fabulously satirical Borat

me: yes!
P/K/B: yes!
me: yes!
P/K/B: yes!
me: very nice!
P/K/B: yes! very nice!
me: yes!

... how spastic are we?...

heyall! the last match -the finale- just ended a little more than an hour ago
so fun! so exciting! such a well-spent $166!
pictures taken, mostly blurred because it was too far away
but still so much fun!
i screamed and yelled, and gave standing ovations, and sang the national anthem
like nobody's business

there were two matches before the actual contender asia finale
louis wong of singapore and i-dunno-who of indonesia
we won, even though before this, the singapore dude had only fought in 7 matches
4 of which he lost (or thereabouts)

and brenda shee of singapore vs. some thailand girl
the thai has had about 42 matches, 32 of which she won
but our brenda was the SEA games bronze medallist
(who has only had 6 matches; 4 won)
and she won =)

and then the real thing started
first match: SOREN MONGKONTONG vs. Sean Wright (!!!)
Soren used a lot of elbows and knees, of which he is famous for
and it was so nice to watch! i think it's a bit more traditional than just plain boxing
he's more beautiful in real life than on tv (heh heh; u're puking, right?)
sean's shaved his head, so he looks a little weird
SOREN WON!!!
since Sean was the WMC Intercontinental champion, that means that Soren is now the WMC Intercontinental title holder
congratulations!!!
i <3 won =")" silver ="(">
