today has been a bad day so far...
accidentally ate something i shouldn't have,
did something silly to my lit test paper,
and my queue got cut while queuing up for the super-mega-ultra-long B&J free cone queue!

and! just found out that flamini's leaving arsenal! :'(
and hleb is thinking of leaving arsenal! :'(

but at least i got my free cone!
although it dripped all over my fingers...

oh, woe is US!!!

fina*

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?...

wednesday: as mentioned, i finally took part in a sports day. yay

thursday: i watched hamlet at the raffles hotel (and it was pretty interesting; just long drawn out)

friday: ok, so nothing happened on this day... others had parent-teacher meeting. stayed back awhile to work on the p&p thing, then went to kfc with borge and keed to wait for the ride home... and then i just collapsed on my couch

to come...

saturday: am going to watch mastura ahmad's performance at marine parade cc... syaz had an extra ticket, so... i'm going!

sunday: the school play

monday: bleh... school again...

fina*

you won't believe what i did for sports day
[unless you're from my class... then the surprise is spoilt ): ]

i ran! never done that for sports day before!
primary school... never took part...
secondary school... javelin, in which i was no good hahah...

and junior college... didn't take part last year
and this year, i never planned to
but some of the girls from my class were sick today, and weren't able to run
for the inter-class 10x200m relay race
and nobody else was able to take this last spot
so there was no choice but for me to run...
in my sneakers! as did amanda and rachel
(we totally didn't see this coming)
hahah i really, really, REALLY did not want to run
i mean, imagine me, someone who loathes running so much, and who's sooooo far from fit
running 200m
100m... maybe i could have made it
but i didn't think i could run 200m

and then the race started
and i ran as fourth runner out of ten ppl from my class
and i wasn't last! hahah
as in, debbie came in at fourth place, passed me the baton, and i ran, and kept the placing!
weeee!
i'm so thankful for that
so happy i didn't let my classmates down =)

hahah
dunno if i'll ever stop talking about it
try and see it from my point of view
i hate running
i do badly in 2.4km runs
my shuttle runs get me an A, but that's so minor, it probably shouldn't count
and i am fat. F. A. T. fat
so running 200m while keeping up with the person in front of me is great!
hahah
or maybe that person was just slow...
but who the heck cares? i'm just glad i wasn't slow

weeee
have to study for a bloody test
and do a bloody essay
but not right now
i'm mood-less
so later then

fina*

celebrated pat's birthday yesterday with jeremy, jerrald, zong ze, liying for a little while, and dan when she came late (although by then i had to go home)...
and the birthday's today! happy birthday pat!

yesterday was fun
partly in the actual activity, but mostly in the "laughing-at-drunk-people" activity
they are really so funny to watch
hahah
no offense, guys... =D

and jeremy was kissing the pillow pretending it was Y-know-who (well, you'll know only if you're from my class...)
and pat was drunk even when she didn't drink (?!!) (i suppose it was happiness-induced drunkness?)

the cake was strawberry sweetheart
i hid it in my bag before going to meet them all
although i shouldn't have bothered haha
cos pat figured it out when i accidentally smsed her that there was "No tiramisu [cake]. How?"
hahah
silly me :(

i'm enjoying my day at home
a lot
doing nothing, sitting at the computer, watching tv, eating prata with ice-cream (yum!)
hahah
and now i'm gonna go and read a book on the chaos theory
fun stuff
;)

(i haven't read a book that doesn't have anything to do with literature in ages. so a book on chaos seems like heaven right now)

overdue pics!

1. CONTENDER ASIA FINALE

The scene in the ring almost immediately after the show. Poor little kids had to pick up the confetti (they were the ones wiping the floor of the ring before every round!). Stephan Fox (wmc vp) in the white shirt and black jacket, Yodsaenklai (THAI) holding his check, while Rafik Bakkouri(FRA) looks unlam behind him in the contender tracksuit. Soren Mongkontong King (AUS) glowing like a beacon (at least, in my eyes) even whilst blocked by the stupid sponsor's box-thingie.


John Wayne Parr (AUS) and Yoddy (THAI) locked in each others' arms. Aww- big hug!!


Soren Mongkontong King(AUS) in in his corner (facing my side!) before the match began, after Wai Kru was done. Sean Wright (SCO) (and you can only catch a glimpse of his blue-trimmed shorts) blocked by that infernal sponsors' ad. (Soren won!) Them bloody boxes are really very irritating! I had to keep looking up at the screen whenever the fighter's fought in the center of the ring. (aarrgghh!)


2. KUSUMAWANGI- SYAZ BIRTHDAY SURPRISE!


Syaz, Diana, Me, in the cab on the way to NUS. Diana looks like she's being forced to go- she's not!

Me, Diana, Syaz, in the toilet. Opportunists!

fina*

feeling sick.

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 ="(">

my left eye has been twitching the entire week
prolly cos of not enough sleep
but with so many exciting things happening, how could i?

and this weekend will be another eye-twitcher
whole day tomorrow is taken
going out on sunday also
omg, i'll be so tired...

on the other hand: I'M WATCHING THE CONTENDER IN ABOUT 18 HOURS!!!
CAN'T WAIT!!!

on the other-other hand (meaning my third hand)
(i do have one- didn't you know?):
I GOT AN A FOR PW!!!!
ONLY 1 in 9!!! which is pretty good, compared to yesteryear's

good night- got things to do tomorrow!
=))

fina*

yes, it's another post- so frequent!

arsenal lost =(
to liverpool... not as bad as if they'd lost to chelski and ManUre

and... it seems the super lousy contender tickets i got were the last ones of that price!
or one of the last ones
cos after i bought the tickets, i checked back to see if any more tickets were available
NONE!
so i guess we were pretty lucky
even the cheaper seats had no more vacancies in the more preferable sections
so i am pretty thankful we got them lousy seats
=))

fina*

yes! we've booked tickets!
but man, tickets are running out super fast
couldn't get seats in the column i wanted
got them instead in the lousy corner sections... and the last seat in the corner seat...
hahah

but we've still got tickets -yay!!!!!

nanananananananananananananananana
<3

i love love love love love -love!- my sister!!!
she's offering to pay for my contender asia finale tickets!
(albeit, only till i can pay her back... but still!)

i'm feeling so happy right now
i was listening to 98.7fm, hoping i would get a chance to call in to win a pair of $300 contender front row tickets... but i was slow...
anyway, it's not a guarantee that you'll get the tickets, cos there'll be a draw only on the night before the show
so $80 tickets will have to be enough
(anyway, no other more expensive seats are available)
(and even then, only single seats are left. but i still want to go!)

i really hope we get tickets! and good seats!
wish me luck!
=))

(and i could have gone on "na-na"ing till kingdom come- that's how happy i am!)
(get it? king-dom come? soren king? king?)
(hahah ;P)

yay! our class got $220 in Ben&Jerry vouchers
for being number 1 in service learning =)

and it's wonderful that we're planning to share it with the shelter where we did the project

yep, another boring post.
've got nothing i wanna say except...

... since i'm already so enamoured with soren, i might as well milk it for all its worth!
;)
so here are more pictures of him
... in a shirt! *drools*
(it's just a picture, not a video) (yes, i "print scrn"ed)
(he's the dashing gentleman in purple)
fina*

(obviously, there are no worthy gentleman in school over whom i can drool
hence my pathetic fixation on a man whom i'll never meet
oh, the injustice of it all...)

arsenal drew with liverpool... for the second time this week...
i wonder how the tuesday game will go...

fina*

(and yes, i haven't stopped watching the contender asia re-runs...)
:p

hah. i've got nothing to say. yesterday was a bad, bad day

"... oh, woe is me, woe is me!"... (in dufus voice)

watching the contender now is more enjoyable now that i know where they've filmed it
heh heh heh
shan't tell
shhh!*

but now i wonder if it'll still be enjoyable now soren's out
hmm
call me boy crazy, but he really was the most tasty thing on the show
hahahahahah
well, okay
should i stop talking about him?
i should, right?
must have been super irritating to people when i went on and on about him...
sorry!

hmmm... the presentation yesterday to the j1s bombed
hahah
my part of the presentation was the most dry, boring shizz ever
and i'm not a good presenter anyways
so... sorry, j1s! hahah

ummm...homework homework homework
nothing else going on in my life
except for the commotion (or brouhaha, in borge's words)
in school over... er-hem, can't say
but i wonder how it went eventually...
give me updates, girls?

fina
(i'm really bored, but i'd really rather this than school)

Soren Mongkontong, or Mongkongtong, or Soren King
:'(

omgoodness!!!!
Soren's knockout was terrible!
it was so heartbreaking to watch!!!

his fight with dhzabar totally didn't go his way
slowly his hands started coming down, which meant he wouldn't be able to effectively block punches

the first time he got knocked down by dhzabar's punch, he got up
but looked totally disoriented and out of it
he wasn't walking properly, and looked like he was in a daze :(

and then they continued
he just appeared vacant, which was sad to see...
and he got punched hard in the face again
and this time, he just flew off his feet and landed flat on his back

and didn't move at all

he just lay there, eyes open but blank
looking like he found it hard to breathe
and not moving a muscle

goodness, at that point of time, my heart was already being crushed
it was just so worrying
they had to bring out the oxygen mask to aid his breathing
everybody was quiet

such knockouts where a fighter is totally unconscious,
and where the brain gets smashed around in the skull,
are rare
which was what was so worrying!

finally, after a few minutes (according to tv editing; t'was probably more)
he moved

aaaaaarrrrggghhhhhhhhh!
i'm not angry, just sad for him
he called his mom after the fight
glad to know he loves his mom
but it was just so freakin' sad!!!

am so not in the mood for homework right now...
:'(

fina

(no more soren in the contender; something even sadder!)
