last nite, reached home abt 11.30pm.. buses were all filled to the max by hordes of lions supporters.. but me and yt managed to get onto bus 31 thankfully.. kenny got home the latest.. half dead today at work, like me.. now 4.30pm, cannot tahan already.. went to make nescafe, overloaded on the coffee powder, now on a caffeine high.. hope i can sleep tonite.. i super sensitive to caffeine one. ah shat wad was i saying? rite, tiger cup.. oh yea, i really called up FAS le.. asked abt how to join Lions fans club.. unfortunately, they dun open it to the public!! *sobz* apparently, u must join one of the s league fan clubs, den u are eligible to be a lions fan. gee.. i REALLY wanna support s league lehh.. den which 1 i supposed to join? geylang?? mad. budden makes sense la, if i wanna support national team, at least must support domestic league rite? like, england fans oso got their own domestic epl clubs mahh. gee.. acty i did give it some thot la.. tink if i really wan, will support young lions.. cos all the new blood will come from there, shld be qt exciting to support them.. and anw, lionel lewis, khairul amri, itimi dickson and agu (pui) is part of young lions mah, hehe. so ppl, if u all wan oso, lemme noe k.. ill go find out more. ultimately, i really wanna be one of the die hard fans cheering singapore on during the big matches accompanied by the drums and cheerleader, yee hah!

oh yea, forgot to blast agu casmir on my blog, sq ask me to haf mercy, cos anw he scored the penalty mah.. but who can't score a penalty sia? (david beckham muahaha) seriously, agu really really reminds me a certain notorious ex-liverpool player: emile heskey!!! heskey is slow and big and clumsy. agu: same. heskey is disliked by fans and every1 can't understand why the manager chooses to play them. agu: same. heskey is fielded almost primarily bcos he "commands attention from defenders and has 'presence' in the penalty area". agu: same. (in fact, agu's 'presence' is so evident that he acty blocked dunno who's shot that could acty have gone into goal!! %$#^#) to sum up, agu and heskey both sama-sama cannot make it!! argh. can't we somehow smuggle another striker in from some other country? and whatever happened to the supposed understanding between agu and itimi? i only saw it once during the 1st leg sing-indo match when itimi dickson supplied the cross for agu to tap in.. gee. i can foresee agu creating many more blunders (a la emile heskey) in the matches to come.

ok, scold finish le. next up, i wanna scold the #$#% referee!! arghh!! aide iskandar didnt deserve the 2nd yellow card can! den he kenna sent off just 2 mins before the final whistle, like dat he oso shuang?? i mean, wad's the pt! den the indo keeper handled the ball so far outside the box, he only get yellow card! i thot afc follow fifa regulations? plain bulls*** la.. friggin double stds la.. wonder how afc chooses their refs.. cmi siaaa.

but other den dat, the match was simply beautiful.. the atmosphere in the stands.. the players' outstanding performances.. (for more on dat check out my blog heh.) acty im very tempted to type out q's tribute song to indra.. cos he simply ROCKED!! ok la will credit it to q.. here goes!

you are my INDRA

alaka | 5:56 AM

2nd jan 2005 Sunday...rainy...

woke up today realising i'd dozed off e a few hours ago abandoning pple online...wasted...last chance to chat to many of them le...now online all oso go off to sleep or dunno wat le....darn...but today was one heck of a memorable day i guess...2nd jan...been waiting for this day for a couple of wks le...finally e singapore leg of the semi-finals against myanmar..but once wake up...e sky was raining one of those kinda rains that u no wun end v soon...so starts e prayers that e rain stops by afternoon.....soon after that came ken's call tat he coming down my house to rest 1st...after his 2 nites chalet...yc supposedly went to meet cheryl...an hr after he reached...once he laid down on e mattress no 1 could wake e giant piece of black mass up...den i oso went to doze...but e rain still persisted...time to make some phone calls n confirm stuff...after 45mins of deliberation...decided to just heck evrything n go...off to boon keng to find st 3...haha...n we missed e bus stop.....good thing there was a way to get our asses to boon keng...attempts to find yc proved futile as he lived up to his reputation as a pig...hmmm..we tooked a certain path to walk to the national stadium from e mountbatten mac bus stop..n well...a toad decided to join in the crowd as it suddenly appeared in front of us as we walked..but i think it found us abit unfriendly as st 3 screamed upon the sight of it...so off it hopped off to find some other company...e rainwater seemed to haf magical powers that day as yt's sandals which got into contact with e water magical grews legs n din want to stay onto st 3's legs(or tentacles???)...turned out e path sucked n we decided to take e super long way to e stadium...causing us to miss seeing myanmar's 1st goal..but good thing i guess...i get abnormally stressed up bout a soccer match...

match highlights provided by alaka:
??? minute :vietnam tried clearing the ball but e number 5 miscued e clearance...e ball got to agu who managed to pressure the defender marking him to send e ball into his own net...the score read 1-1..but only for 1 min...e score dropped immediately after e referee said that the goal din count as alamk shah had orginally made a foul on a vietnam player..wth...

??? minute : a poor clearance by the singapore defence caused the ball to hobble to a myanmar player...the defence in disarrays could not close him down fast enuf..n e player with a miscued whack of e boot sent a relatively slow ball roll into the back of the net as lionel lewis was wrong footed..0-2

70th minute: myanmar's number 9 was yellow-carded for a second bookable offence...ding dong...time for floodgates to open...

74th minute: indra's persistence caused mayhem in the myanmar defence as the ball dropped to goh tat chuan on singapore's right flank...with a picture perfect cross he finds the loanshark alam shah...he knocks it down...n a myanmar defender assists in pushing the ball into the back of the net!!! GOAL!!! 1-2 to singapore....wonder who the goal will be given to...

87th minute: myanmar number 6 was the last man as he brought down the singaporean hero indra sahdan...a professional foul..and thus a straight red card was shown...the burmese aren't pleased..and their number 5 chose to reflect this in the most direct way...by kicking mud at the referee...ANOTHER SENDING OFF FOR MYANMAR..it's now 11 against 8...indra steps up to take the penalty....????!!!!....he misses as the ball clips the outside of the upright....from hero to zero? we'll see

EXTRA time : with 11 man playing against 8...there was no more match to be seen...the only action was probably ended after alam shah sealed off his hat trick and agu FINALLY SCORED -_-" but i must say one of e myanmar players deserve an oscar for his brilliant display of theatrical talent...after being given a slight push in the chest...he grabbed his face and fell down to the ground as though he'd been shot in the face...haha...BRILLIANT!! ENCORE!!! and the myanmar reserve keeper should change career from goalkeeping to darts...with maximum accuracy he sent a water bottle flying smack on subramani's face...that'd haf scored him a maximum 200 if he'd been shooting darts...final score...4-2....

hmmm...a few things to mention...v long neva see a singaporean crowd as big as today le..n finally singapore won...haha...there are many rumoured reasons behind e win...but i shall take them as nonsense...but still...an amazing sight..all 3 STG members were there..n u could say e whole ltg was there...as yc sent a representative pig in the form of ce's beanie...and all this was achieved despite the persistant rain the whole day...well done...this is the end of the match report from me...expect quite a few entries from me as i countdown the 68hrs of freedom left...

alaka | 10:48 AM

woohoo, 6 members of htg turned up for the 2nd leg of tiger cup semifinals Singapore vs Myanmar at national stadium!! what a milestone in history!! haha.. too bad sq wasnt sitting wif us... and pig yc was living up to his name.. we all yelled our throats hoarse at an imcompetent lions team and a kayu referee and a belligerent myanmar team.. last nite was an astounding display of poor sportsmanship where numerous fights erupted (3 times? 4 times?) thruout the match which resulted in 3 burmese players getting sent off (some striker after 2 bookable offences, another guy for an horrid tackle, and the last idiot who kicked mud at the officials) haha acty, i realise i dun rem very clearly the details of the match, i shall leave the job of describing the entire thing to the guys la.. basically its tough to keep track of how the goals went in and who scored when the goal post is at the far end of the pitch and u dun have camera closeups and instant replays.. but i guess nobody cared cos just when the ball hits the back of the net the crowd goes mad. haha.. ok i shall blog abt wad yt and i saw during the match and leave the technical details to the guys.

firstly, there was this #@$!@ uncle who 1. kept standing up during the match and blocked me and yt's view and yt couldnt see the 1st 2 goals that went in. 2. went so crazy during the goal celebrations that he opened his umbrella and shook the water at every1 around him.
and then, there was this bunch of crazy malays and 1 chinese guy sitting directly in front of my classmates. the malay guy goes into a dancing frenzy everytime the lions score and when indra was preparing to take the penalty he already had his shirt half off getting ready to take it off when indra missed. hahhaha. oh and not to mention they were chanting vulgarities incessantly thruout (like most of the crowd la acty) oh and there were these three guys who were yelling "you are a third world country!!" at myanmar and me and yt penged immediately hehe.. yah and my fave cheer of the match has got to be the nonsensical one that goes "na na na na, na na na na, eh-eh, goodbye" and we kept waving bye bye at the burmese haha.. but seriously all the disgusting behaviour on the pitch riled the fans so much that me and yt were damn scared a riot mite break out every minute. but heng the police dealt with the situation well. they escorted most of the burmese fans out of the stadium for throwing all sorts of stuff at the pitch.

when we were exiting the stadium, the fans were still damn high and started singing "ole ole ole ole" even when walking out and the cars were hooting non stop.. hmm, we may just return to the glory years where singaporeans were mad abt singapore football instead of epl football. if singapore really wins the tiger cup, that mite just happen. yep, after that went to old airport rd for supper and the usual crap-talk and we went home at abt 11.30pm.. all in all, it was a great nite!! ehh the venue for the finals havent been confirmed yet (went to sleague.com to check it out) but if its at the national stadium again let's go watch k?! haha im going to makan lunch le will sign off here buh bye!

chan eng.charis | 10:25 AM

happy new yr everyone. ytd's celebration was really quite nothing..as instructed. but downtown east was still a warzone anyway. i bet at sentosa..no one really had the tsunami victims on their minds oso. what you don't see happens anyway.

hmm..my brother just wrote a note to all of us. "happy new year daddy. happy new year mummy. happy new year sister." shall stop myself from sinking into any mood now. but in short, i think my resolution would be to spend more time at home. and miss him more often when i'm working.

i think i know abit of what sq is talking abt. oh well..my point exactly. the person you trust most will hurt you the most. and i do mean it will eventually happen. maybe the only ppl to trust are your family and friends. using the principle of putting all your eggs in one basket.

do i sound funny? i think i do. but i'm fine acty, don't worry. no imposter here. just don't like the idea of using haha's and lol's or any other meaningless words in my sms or blog entries anymore. a new year has begun. time to think more deeply abt everything.

and work is..work. felt quite helpless at some point of time. for having my salary at the hands of the irresponsible agent even though my supervisor is willing to pay more ot. the 44hrs rule. but unfairness reigns everywhere doesn't it. even though inconsistency in timesheet and agent is right in front of us..what can we do. no one bothers abt temp staff. no place to eat, no apology for stepping on foot, and all the blames to take when forms reach the wrong box. i once said i'd get back at them..but can i. sigh..but all the other temp staff are nice at least. i shdn't complain. and the forms provide the entertainment that we need. relax.

i think i just made a blog entry that's very not me. nvm la, as long as it's understandable.

Pebbles | 1:27 PM

ok..only have abt half an hr to type out everything. so here goes.

work sucks. when you've nothing to do. or when you're waiting for sthg. like printouts or excel file. cos ppl will think you're slacking, but quite the opposite. you're stressed up cos ppl think you're slacking. ahh but does it matter. lowly temp staff get misunderstood for everything they do. hmm i love last last week..when work kept piling up and you've no time to think of anything else..and there'll confirm be sthg to do the next day. haiz..

how often do u acty see gals going to support soccer 'live'..and being a part of it??
how often can u be part of de crowd to witness Singapore winning a soccer title..nvm de fact dat it is only a regional 1?

wahaha..those were de questions i asked myself after the match..de spirit was great! everyone had fun and everyone was happy..even on the way home..we could hear pple cheering still..at MRT stations..all u need is one person to start cheering..and u wud hear de rest of the soccer fans that were present response..

and from yest..i found my soccer idol..lionel lewis! great goalkeeper!lost count of how many goals he saved last night..de 1 he failed to save..not his fault! it was acty a goal by luck lor..went in when de situation in front of the goalpost was in chaos..but nvm..we still won..wahaha..dat's all dat matter.. =) and hor..de stupid referee..too many yellow cards to flash..even had to flash red card la..alamak..tink he really cock-eyed at times leh..and agu..de moment i spot him on field with ball last night..i wanna laugh liaoz..he juz look so comical la..miss header most of de times..

2nd jan 2005 Sunday...rainy...

woke up today realising i'd dozed off e a few hours ago abandoning pple online...wasted...last chance to chat to many of them le...now online all oso go off to sleep or dunno wat le....darn...but today was one heck of a memorable day i guess...2nd jan...been waiting for this day for a couple of wks le...finally e singapore leg of the semi-finals against myanmar..but once wake up...e sky was raining one of those kinda rains that u no wun end v soon...so starts e prayers that e rain stops by afternoon.....soon after that came ken's call tat he coming down my house to rest 1st...after his 2 nites chalet...yc supposedly went to meet cheryl...an hr after he reached...once he laid down on e mattress no 1 could wake e giant piece of black mass up...den i oso went to doze...but e rain still persisted...time to make some phone calls n confirm stuff...after 45mins of deliberation...decided to just heck evrything n go...off to boon keng to find st 3...haha...n we missed e bus stop.....good thing there was a way to get our asses to boon keng...attempts to find yc proved futile as he lived up to his reputation as a pig...hmmm..we tooked a certain path to walk to the national stadium from e mountbatten mac bus stop..n well...a toad decided to join in the crowd as it suddenly appeared in front of us as we walked..but i think it found us abit unfriendly as st 3 screamed upon the sight of it...so off it hopped off to find some other company...e rainwater seemed to haf magical powers that day as yt's sandals which got into contact with e water magical grews legs n din want to stay onto st 3's legs(or tentacles???)...turned out e path sucked n we decided to take e super long way to e stadium...causing us to miss seeing myanmar's 1st goal..but good thing i guess...i get abnormally stressed up bout a soccer match...

match highlights provided by alaka:
??? minute :vietnam tried clearing the ball but e number 5 miscued e clearance...e ball got to agu who managed to pressure the defender marking him to send e ball into his own net...the score read 1-1..but only for 1 min...e score dropped immediately after e referee said that the goal din count as alamk shah had orginally made a foul on a vietnam player..wth...

??? minute : a poor clearance by the singapore defence caused the ball to hobble to a myanmar player...the defence in disarrays could not close him down fast enuf..n e player with a miscued whack of e boot sent a relatively slow ball roll into the back of the net as lionel lewis was wrong footed..0-2

70th minute: myanmar's number 9 was yellow-carded for a second bookable offence...ding dong...time for floodgates to open...

74th minute: indra's persistence caused mayhem in the myanmar defence as the ball dropped to goh tat chuan on singapore's right flank...with a picture perfect cross he finds the loanshark alam shah...he knocks it down...n a myanmar defender assists in pushing the ball into the back of the net!!! GOAL!!! 1-2 to singapore....wonder who the goal will be given to...

87th minute: myanmar number 6 was the last man as he brought down the singaporean hero indra sahdan...a professional foul..and thus a straight red card was shown...the burmese aren't pleased..and their number 5 chose to reflect this in the most direct way...by kicking mud at the referee...ANOTHER SENDING OFF FOR MYANMAR..it's now 11 against 8...indra steps up to take the penalty....????!!!!....he misses as the ball clips the outside of the upright....from hero to zero? we'll see

EXTRA time : with 11 man playing against 8...there was no more match to be seen...the only action was probably ended after alam shah sealed off his hat trick and agu FINALLY SCORED -_-" but i must say one of e myanmar players deserve an oscar for his brilliant display of theatrical talent...after being given a slight push in the chest...he grabbed his face and fell down to the ground as though he'd been shot in the face...haha...BRILLIANT!! ENCORE!!! and the myanmar reserve keeper should change career from goalkeeping to darts...with maximum accuracy he sent a water bottle flying smack on subramani's face...that'd haf scored him a maximum 200 if he'd been shooting darts...final score...4-2....

hmmm...a few things to mention...v long neva see a singaporean crowd as big as today le..n finally singapore won...haha...there are many rumoured reasons behind e win...but i shall take them as nonsense...but still...an amazing sight..all 3 STG members were there..n u could say e whole ltg was there...as yc sent a representative pig in the form of ce's beanie...and all this was achieved despite the persistant rain the whole day...well done...this is the end of the match report from me...expect quite a few entries from me as i countdown the 68hrs of freedom left...

woohoo, 6 members of htg turned up for the 2nd leg of tiger cup semifinals Singapore vs Myanmar at national stadium!! what a milestone in history!! haha.. too bad sq wasnt sitting wif us... and pig yc was living up to his name.. we all yelled our throats hoarse at an imcompetent lions team and a kayu referee and a belligerent myanmar team.. last nite was an astounding display of poor sportsmanship where numerous fights erupted (3 times? 4 times?) thruout the match which resulted in 3 burmese players getting sent off (some striker after 2 bookable offences, another guy for an horrid tackle, and the last idiot who kicked mud at the officials) haha acty, i realise i dun rem very clearly the details of the match, i shall leave the job of describing the entire thing to the guys la.. basically its tough to keep track of how the goals went in and who scored when the goal post is at the far end of the pitch and u dun have camera closeups and instant replays.. but i guess nobody cared cos just when the ball hits the back of the net the crowd goes mad. haha.. ok i shall blog abt wad yt and i saw during the match and leave the technical details to the guys.

firstly, there was this #@$!@ uncle who 1. kept standing up during the match and blocked me and yt's view and yt couldnt see the 1st 2 goals that went in. 2. went so crazy during the goal celebrations that he opened his umbrella and shook the water at every1 around him.
and then, there was this bunch of crazy malays and 1 chinese guy sitting directly in front of my classmates. the malay guy goes into a dancing frenzy everytime the lions score and when indra was preparing to take the penalty he already had his shirt half off getting ready to take it off when indra missed. hahhaha. oh and not to mention they were chanting vulgarities incessantly thruout (like most of the crowd la acty) oh and there were these three guys who were yelling "you are a third world country!!" at myanmar and me and yt penged immediately hehe.. yah and my fave cheer of the match has got to be the nonsensical one that goes "na na na na, na na na na, eh-eh, goodbye" and we kept waving bye bye at the burmese haha.. but seriously all the disgusting behaviour on the pitch riled the fans so much that me and yt were damn scared a riot mite break out every minute. but heng the police dealt with the situation well. they escorted most of the burmese fans out of the stadium for throwing all sorts of stuff at the pitch.

when we were exiting the stadium, the fans were still damn high and started singing "ole ole ole ole" even when walking out and the cars were hooting non stop.. hmm, we may just return to the glory years where singaporeans were mad abt singapore football instead of epl football. if singapore really wins the tiger cup, that mite just happen. yep, after that went to old airport rd for supper and the usual crap-talk and we went home at abt 11.30pm.. all in all, it was a great nite!! ehh the venue for the finals havent been confirmed yet (went to sleague.com to check it out) but if its at the national stadium again let's go watch k?! haha im going to makan lunch le will sign off here buh bye!

happy new yr everyone. ytd's celebration was really quite nothing..as instructed. but downtown east was still a warzone anyway. i bet at sentosa..no one really had the tsunami victims on their minds oso. what you don't see happens anyway.

hmm..my brother just wrote a note to all of us. "happy new year daddy. happy new year mummy. happy new year sister." shall stop myself from sinking into any mood now. but in short, i think my resolution would be to spend more time at home. and miss him more often when i'm working.

i think i know abit of what sq is talking abt. oh well..my point exactly. the person you trust most will hurt you the most. and i do mean it will eventually happen. maybe the only ppl to trust are your family and friends. using the principle of putting all your eggs in one basket.

do i sound funny? i think i do. but i'm fine acty, don't worry. no imposter here. just don't like the idea of using haha's and lol's or any other meaningless words in my sms or blog entries anymore. a new year has begun. time to think more deeply abt everything.

and work is..work. felt quite helpless at some point of time. for having my salary at the hands of the irresponsible agent even though my supervisor is willing to pay more ot. the 44hrs rule. but unfairness reigns everywhere doesn't it. even though inconsistency in timesheet and agent is right in front of us..what can we do. no one bothers abt temp staff. no place to eat, no apology for stepping on foot, and all the blames to take when forms reach the wrong box. i once said i'd get back at them..but can i. sigh..but all the other temp staff are nice at least. i shdn't complain. and the forms provide the entertainment that we need. relax.

i think i just made a blog entry that's very not me. nvm la, as long as it's understandable.
