Flatland Freestyler

My favourite kind of skateboarding.

And this guy is SICK.

Ramble, ramble, toil and travel...

Hmmm. No specific topic.

The weather is cranky. Either its cool, raining like crazy, or its hot.

I was watching that 70s show the entire week. Up to season 7. I think theres no point after that, the lead character jumped ship. The shows pretty much "jumped the shark". Now looking forward to the next half of South Park season 10 and Family Guy season 5. Coming out end of this year!

Lindsey Lohan guest starred in an episode of 70s show. Ya shes hot.

I was watching the last few minutes of Ms Singapore Universe. Jade Seah is hotter!

But she does bear a striking resemblance to a certain TCS actress...... yeah we all know. Fiona Xie. Was watching the new sitcom Maggi and Me. Its got a pretty lame name, a rather over-done premise, and it JUST happens to be a show about ghosts starting on the first day of the 7th month. Wow. What a coincidence.

But hey, its got Fiona Xie running around in a wedding dress! Now thats what i call entertainment.

Speaking of which, maggi mee was what i had for breakfast/lunch today. Woke late after a great night at Zouk. Mambo Revival- Playlist coming soon!

Alright, now im done here. Time to go read a friends blog- recommended by my other friends to melt my brains. Since i have no use for them right now... might as well go in for the works.

Song for the Moment

Go West - The Pet Shop Boys

Disgusted.

Singapore Idol MY ASS. Singapore laughingstock more like it. I was watching the performances of the contestants. They disgust me.

First thing first, don't bother to come and try if you don't have a good singing voice. Some of them do. MOST of them DON'T. Fine. Those with the good singing voices, all right and good for you all. But PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't try the onstage antics. Running around and shaking while singing is so demeaning. Let Britney Spears or Jennifer Lopez sell albums that way. If you look normal like the rest of us, for gods sake, its a singing contest, not a booty shaking contest. PUT SOME SOUL INTO YOUR SOUND.

Aaaaaargh.

Paradise Lost

At night when i sleep, i close my eyes...

and the world appears through a blue tempered lens... Floating in a blue neverwhere... life in a silent film, broken by the steady flow of bubbles escaping my breathing regulator...

I lie suspended, face down, taking in the breathless expanse of corals that stretch as far as the eyes can see... schools of fishes of every colour and stripe darting, floating, gliding between the corals, playing little fish games, exploring little fish worlds, living the marine life...

Silently we float, the aliens, befinned and suited up, observing, and moving on... Out in the distance, a shape moves. Slowly you distinguish a turtle, its shell seperating from the dulled colours among the rock, majestically moving at an emperors place. The old man of the sea, his strokes distinguished and dignified, he takes his time and glides about his domain at his leisure. I watch with interest, and perhaps a little awe. His shape, so clumsy and bulbous above water, now seemed to soar with every stroke of his little legs.

Suddenly, unconsciously, my mouth clenches tight onto the regulator. I awake with a start. Sunlight streams through the gaps of the windows. All is silent besides the hissing of the air-conditioner in the little hut i call home for the 5 days i spent in Aur. It was just a dream, i think. But until now, even after leaving the island... My mind feels like its on a boat, rocking with invisible waves. When i close my eyes, imaginary worlds float before my sight, teasing, enticing, drawing me into its cool sweet embrace.

Somedays we capture what we want from the sea.

Somedays, the sea captures us.

Finale

A stirring end to the world cup.

Zidane, we salute you!

Germany VS Italy

I have an interesting idea. We should have a Oscar Award ceremony for footballers. Celebrating the best actors in the league. Points of contention can be "Best innocent look", "best 'Hey, who said thats a foul?'", "best face screwed up in pain", "Friendliest face before match, most offensive after"....... ooh the list goes on and on.

Germany vs Italy deserves a special recommendation. This is the best match i've seen so far. Even Angela Merkel is watching! Play is fast and furious, both sides evenly matched. I predict penalties. Its already extra time, first half, and no goals yet. Probably none to come. This has got to be the match with the most number of acrobatics i have ever seen. Rolling, flying...... the players are throwing themselves against the ball...

Goodbye Convergys! HELLO BANGKOK!!!

Last day of work today. So SAD.......... will miss having fun with all the temps, and working with the perm staff. Thanks for everything!

Had a nice Dim Sum lunch with Jennifer, Shuhui and Weisum (my 3 bosses). haha


And........here we go. Me and my 3 bosses. Thanks for everything!


Next step- Bangkok! WOOHOO!!!

Shopping, F***ing......... well probably just shopping. Its dangerous there. Lots of shopping.... ahaha.

Now if only somebody will wake me up in time for the Germany-Italy match tonight.......

Typing this while ENGLAND plays a horrible match

Honestly, beyond Beckham and his posse of good lookers, noone is going to bother to support England. Their playing style sucks. I can't for the life of me believe that people actually support how England plays. Im sitting here during the England-Portugal match typing this. There are 13 guys in this room. 4 are watching the game. 6 are playing munchkins. 2 are typing randomly on their laptops. (myself included) my brother is just looking bored. I now remember why i found soccer boring.

But this wasn't always so. For me, soccer watching is a once-every-four-year event. Yup, thats just the world cup. As my friend yannie, unofficially known as "Jesus" says- "thats the closest we're ever gonna get to world war." Honestly, as the second world cup im watching.... its not fantastic.

I supported Argentina. Why? i played their (virtual) team in Winning 11 on the Xbox. And i like their jersey colours. Besides that? do i give a rats ass? No...... Do i care? No...... But they play well. Their loss to Germany was just a fluke...... aaargh. Horrible. I was the sole argentinian supporter in a room full of Germany supporters... good thing my best friend didnt throw me out. haha.

Anyway, last friday was the last day at work for a few of my colleagues. Temps that is. We took a goodbye photo. After a little photoshop editing, here it is:





Well, not that i want to say this: GOOOOOOOO PORTUGAL!
thats all for tonight. Thank you folks!
