yep nice day today... weather was nice!
started de day wif watchin Miss Universe pageant 2005... woke up too late so i missed de swimwear n evening gown sections... nvm la.. did nt even see Ms Singapore.. winner is Ms Canada (whom i tink is nt very pretty, tink Puerto Rico looks nicer she's 1st runner-up la)
anyway den afternoon went to sch for a psychometric assesment exercise(if u r tinkin of workin out physically, u r wrong... it's all mental workin) organised by PSC(nt de company dat sponsered de Sat's night variety show on channel 8, It's Public Service Commision)
weather was very hot n de lousy side-gate was locked so hafta walked n in de end sweated lik hell... but de hall was coolin at first...
de exercise started off wif a short n blur-ry talk which i dunno wad de woman was blabberin...
den off to 3 timed tests... a logical tinkin first den number reasonin n lastly verbal...
logical tinkin was 60 ques on pics lik u see in mensa tests den guess which pic to be fitted in... quite ok...
it's de first test which i did nt raise my head to admire de hall.(for other tests lik common test, u still have time to look ard see others frantically doin but dis time answerin de 60 ques non-stop n in de end still neber completed in 20min..)
den number reasonin... guess being a FM student u get over-reliant on de trusty calculator so when it comes to mental calculations i really am slow... haiz...
verbal is full of passages n u say whether dis statement is true/false/can't tell based on de passage... eg... we know what an earthworm is thinking.. (n my 2 frens n I had 3 diff ans) haha... so farnie...
den is a damn long personality test lastin abt 1hr n u ans ques abt urself... did dis kind of tests for a lot of times le... ask de few same ques.. haha..
but PSC is good dey provided light refreshments water n some squishy-cake-full-of-chocolate-chips which tasted ok..
n melvin ah... sorry u had to last thru de exercise for 4 hrs.. quite amazed wif u... haha
den after me wenhao seng mad went to cine met up wif shiwei n grace for a movie---Monster-in-law. mad n wenhao had sometins up deir sleeves so seng n I had to play along wif dem but in de end it failed so ya.. haha
de movie was really nice... but i tink neither J Lo, Jane Fonda, nor de husband of J Lo in de show r de main characters, i tink Ruby is de joker of de show la... her every sentences cracks u up... really farnie...
while watchin de movie, i discovered someting... she looks lik charlotte, acts lik charlotte, speaks lik charlotte... it's pure compliment!

ok yest was The FA Cup final played at millenium stadium cardiff, Arsenal vs Man U...
i went to chijmes wif scott n his 2 frens to catch de match live... got de espn goodies bag worth $50 (i tink de lousy cap cost $25, low-quality pen $5, post-it stickers $2, a notebook pad $10, n some lame tings worth $8)...
atmosphere dere was great... loud man u fans cheerin on everytime we almost scored...
n loud claps when reyes finally got red-carded... actually chijmes is jus dis place when got quite a number of restaurants/pubs n some open space where dey put deir big screens... we chose dis restaurant cum bar n sat dere... den de waiter said to sit dere, de minimum beverage to buy is 4 pints of tiger beer (dere's 4 of us) so we bought lor!!! haha.. (opps shh... i'm 'old' enuff) aiya jus beer onli mah... wines r more potent dan beer lor...
i promise u i wun get tipsy n i did! went home safely... *phew* did nt faint on de road... thx for de concern!!
ya so yi bian watch de match, yi bian sip some beer... as de place is open air... got quite a number of ppl smoked so pretty screwed de air down dere... dat's wad i dun lik... so next time i gonna watch a football match, it will be at an air-conditioned pub n it will be de Devil's Bar(official man u place)
back to de match, Man U totally had some many chances n obviously we played better, one goal when ruud header in de ball, at de goal line was Ljungberg who blocked de ball n it hit de post n out... wa dat one was so so close.... scott wanted to take part in de ipod mini contest which u predict who will win... he put man u n was sad his ipod mini gone as little ppl took part in de contest... n my 10 dollars bet on man u oso *poof* penalties shootout was veri Ci4 Ji4.. scholes was jus suay to kick in de direction which lehman dived so haiz....
dis shall jus be hist, n no silverware dis season doesn't mean man u is lousy, dis will be our lowest point n u watch out for man u next season... we will rock u all...!!! Maldives oso rox!!
no happy endin but de tings u hav got r totally wonderful..!

pretty bored today...
today is de official day that SP is back in sch, i wun dare to write her full name out in case i slandered her.... well she was standin up dere durin morn assembly giving us de jiacheng-evil-grins-look.. boo! scared! haha...
well if u actually google her name, u will come across dis NJ student's blog 2003-04 batch..
pretty cool... i mean his "stories"
http://hedgehogs.xquisite.org/archives/2004_10.htmlyar n my class passed dis paper ard for us to write someting on our civics rep cos we wanted to nominate him for de college values - leadership wif sensitivity.
so my brain started workin n i started de first 2 lines of de poem,
We love our boss,
without him is a loss.
Although he has his flaws,
he's still our "boss".
He always works like a horse,
to fight for our cause.
He has his strict rules and laws,
sometimes threatening us with his claws,
but he never fails to be our Santa Claus.
-a S04 poem collaboration.
hope he doesn't see dis until he knows that he got de value award...
went to lot 1 jus now wif xianlun jason wenhao sengee n shiwei.
i felt so bad for makin xianlun pon his chem s but i tink he oso veri tired so might as well pon la...
not all things r smooth-sailing in dis world, sometimes u r lucky u get it. even if u dun, jus be happy with wad u hav. dun tink abt nt gettin into tip but tink abt de wonderful jc life ahead..
N smiles always :) k?

Lucks to all ppl runnin tml, hope dat it will not be a rainy day tml...

Monday mornin, rain is falling...
dragged myself up to stop de sleeping
had a breakfast and went for training,
den it continues...
yar, a college day holiday was spent training, but i had great fun wif my team today cos maybe we had de first morning trg dis yr. the pool was empty except for us cos it was still drizzling. to my suprise de water was nt cold at all, so trg could proceed without much grumblings.. yar, wanda n ben made deir guest appearances addin elements of laughters to trg.. haha..
den after de trg, we went to plaza sing to eat n jus chill.. really great to noe dese bunch of ppl n together we shall do de sch proud in the upcoming nationals in de july!
so we went up to de cinema n checked out wad's nice, n found out dere's onli 1 show dat none of us had watched b4 - amityville horror NC-16
ben who was under 16(IP) tried to sneak in but de strict aunty checked all of ours ic. but luckily ling ee who had someting on at first cancelled it n took ben's tick den poor ben had to proceed to bishan LC n hav early french lessons.
i wanted to distract de aunty first by askin her ques.
first:"aunty ah, how long is dis movie?" "2hrs" (she bluffed me la onli 1.5hr)
second,"2 hrs means wad?" (i got nothing to ask her le, wad can u ask a ticket tearer aunty) she answered me, "2hrs mean 2hrs la. no meanin" shucks made a fool out of myself..
in de end she still checked ben and so....
ya amityville horror is a pretty scary movie, but de scary scenes r quite predictable. de sound n visual effects r nt bad freak u out. but i can't believe dat de movie is based on a true story, abt dis guy who killed his family 6 members all together n de reason--- he said a voice told him to kill dem...
http://www.amityvillehorrormovie.com/index.htmlso haha de movie is suited for couples to go see tho...
den when we came out, i saw ms willa chen n her bf goin down... waved to her n she waved back. maybe dey oso watched de movie...
yar dis wed is NJ track n field meet, so no trg. heez!
lucks to dose runnin in the finals, by qualifying into de finals shows dat u r veri good le! n to dose who had gotten deir medals, well done! n to dose who had gotten a medal n runnin on de finals itself, u r veri great!

To whom it may concern,
Shucks, a long battle to prevent Man Utd Football club being bought over by Malcom Glazer has failed. that American has near 75% of the Man Utd PLC shares and is ready to delist the club from London Stock Exchange making the club private---meaning his own. His quest to take over the club required him to borrow money first about 500 million pounds and these money will be attached to Man Utd assests. to recover these money, merchandise of Man Utd stuff, tickets, and more will be priced higher, and in the end is Man Utd supporters bearing the price hike. what matters to me most is whether after the bought over, can Man Utd remain as competitive in EPL and champions league, can we maintain and scale greater heights. what i think of a football club is the strong relationship between the club management, the soccer players, the fans. it is this trust and belief that will propel to club to do better. it's definitely not doom but gloom ahead, but i wish to see the silver lining soon. hoping that malcom glazer is not buying Man Utd for just pure economic gains, i want him to promise that the future of Man Utd is bright and that we can excel again in the football scene. Man Utd does not only belong to him, it belongs to everyone who calls themselves a "Red Devil"!
Yours sincerely,
Jim, an avid Man Utd supporter

oh... enjoyin swimmin trgs more...
well did someting "meaningful"... i read abt dis article on newspaper dat British Airways is specially decorating a Boeing 747 plane to carry de London2012 bid team to Singapore on 3rd July. cos de IOC will meetin in Singapore from 5july to 8july to decide which city will host 2012 olympics games. wao, apparently it's a big ting for us cos all ppl will tune in to singapore n await for de announcement n Singapore very "cheapo", we r airin a short commercial of singapore b4 n after de results of de olympic 2012. wao look at de amt of advertisin we can get... a boost for our tourism sector...
ok back to de London2012 bid, dey r havin a public petition call "sign the plane". dey will put ur name on de big boeing 747 as u backed deir bid! wao cool la... fancy havin ur name on a plane... so maybe 3rd July go changi airport to see my name on it cos i backed london! i'm not sayin Paris, Madrid, Moscow, New York r no good, but maybe singapore is onced under great britain, i feel more towards ENGLAND!! i oso support england soccer team!
yar if u oso wan to support london or jus wanna see ur name on de plane, go to
http://www.britishairways.com/travel/signtheplane/public/en_
n Zidane (supportin Paris) , Raul (supportin Madrid) n Beckham (supportin London) of Real Madrid may be comin to singapore on 6july to support deir countries... ooo..
haha ok signnin off... n hope de college day will be a success! de performers n helpers r veri poor ting cos rehearsals end late but i believe dey enjoy it la...
