to the uninitiated (you'll be surprised how many uninitiates there are), the "moo" at the bottom of every entry is for you to add your 2 cents worth.
notice how western cultures say "a penny for your thoughts" while we say "what's your two cents worth"? that's singapore for you. better to receive; free some more.
free thermometer gah-ment give one.
ok ok, so i lied. we're way more likely to say "what you think?". to which the asker will reply to the askee, "i also say."

here's neo. without him, trinity wouldn't even be here. you can say vice versa to that. =]
neo: "i need you."
trinity: "there's still time."
Trinity exits, as Neo reluctantly plays Gandhi, while his mind is somewhere else. trinity alone in the room. sigh. why did they have to write a love story in? ugh.
You are Neo.
You display a perfect fusion of heroism and compassion.

Noah's Ark...If it happened in 2000
And the Lord spoke to Noah and said "In six months I'm going to
make it rain until the whole earth is covered with water and all
the evil people are destroyed.
But I want to save a few good people, and two of every kind of
living thing on the planet. I am commanding you to build an
Ark." And in a flash of lightning, He delivered the
specifications for an Ark, "Okay," said Noah, trembling with
fear and fumbling with the blueprints.
"Six months and it starts to rain," thundered the Lord. "You'd
better have the Ark completed, or learn to swim for a very long
time." Six months passed, the skies clouded up and rain began to
fall. The Lord saw that Noah was sitting in his front yard,
weeping. And there was no Ark. "Noah!" shouted the Lord, "where
is the Ark?"
"Lord, please forgive me!" begged Noah. "I did my best. But
there were big problems. First, I had to get a building permit
for the Ark construction project, and your plans didn't meet
code. I had to hire an engineer to redraw the plans. Then I got
into a big fight over whether or not the Ark needed a fire
sprinkler system."
"Then my neighbor objected, claiming I was violating zoning by
building the Ark in my front yard, I had to get a variance from
the city planning commission. Then I had problems getting enough
wood for the Ark, because there was a ban on cutting trees to
save the spotted owl. I had to convince the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife that I needed the wood to save the owls. But they
wouldn't let me catch any owls. So, no owls."
"The carpenters formed a union and went out on strike. I had to
negotiate a settlement with the National Labor Relations Board
before anyone would pick up a saw or hammer. Now we have sixteen
carpenters going on the boat, and still no owls. Then I started
gathering up animals, and got sued by an animal rights group.
They objected to me taking only two of each kind. Just when I
got the suit dismissed, EPA notified me that I couldn't complete
the Ark without filing an environmental impact statement on your
proposed flood."
"They didn't take kindly to the idea that they had no
jurisdiction over the conduct of a Supreme Being. Then the Army
Corps of Engineers wanted a map of the proposed new flood plain.
So I sent them a globe. Right now, I'm still trying to resolve a
complaint from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission over
how many Croations I'm supposed to hire."
"The IRS has seized all my assets, claiming I'm trying to avoid
paying taxes by leaving the country. And I just got a notice
from the state about owing them some kind of use tax. I really
don't think I can finish the Ark for at least another five
years," Noah wailed.
The sky began to clear. The sun began to shine. A rainbow arched
across the sky. Noah looked up and smiled, "You mean you're not
going to destroy the earth?" Noah asked hopefully.
"No," said the Lord sadly. "The government already has!"

Rules for a non-diet
1. If you eat something and no one sees you eat it, it has no
calories.
2. If you drink a diet soda with a candy bar, the calories in
the candy jar are canceled out by the diet soda.
3. When you eat with someone else, calories don't count if you
do not eat more than they do.
4. Food used for medicinal purposes NEVER count, such as hot
chocolate, toast and Sara Lee Cheesecake.
5. If you fatten up everyone else around you, then you look
thinner.
6. Movie related foods do not have additional calories because
they are part of the entertainment package and not part of one's
personal fuel. Examples: Milk Duds, buttered popcorn, Junior
Mints, Red Hots and Tootsie Rolls.
7. Cookie pieces contain no calories. The process of breaking
causes calorie leakage.
8. Things licked off knives and spoons have no calories if you
are in the process of preparing something.
9. Foods that have the same color have the same number of
calories. Examples are: spinach and pistachio ice cream;
mushrooms and mashed potatoes.
10. Chocolate is a universal color and may be substituted for
any other food color.
11. Anything consumed while standing has no calories. This is
due to gravity and the density of the caloric mass.
12. Anything consumed from someone else's plate has no calories
since the calories rightfully belong to the other person and
will cling to his/her plate. (We ALL know how calories like to
cling!)

sorry lost my train of thought just now.
my point abt the street soccer analogy is that the two incumbent teams will just pass the ball around and not try too hard to score, just so they can play amongst themselves.
stupid italians. ferguson must have had a fit with all the hairbands on display. on 34-year-old paolo maldini no less!

stupid italians. ferguson must have had a fit with all the hairbands on display. on 34-year-old paolo maldini no less!
those two stupid italian teams, content to play for the lottery, caused me to stay awake (barely) till 540 am!
sure they had sunlight till about 11 thanks to it being summer there (info from sue-ann), but spare a thought for fans from "200 countries" as the commentator proudly put it.
No goals in 120 min of football? can we have manchester united vs real madrid for the final next time. YAWN.
it's like the street soccer culture nowadays; to the uninitiated, let me explain.
if you want to play at a crowded court, you form a team and say "new team".
the two teams on court will say "3 goals", meaning the first team to score 3 will stay on, and the loser will make way for the new team.
i know juve and milan are both italian, but surely they didn't have to hog the field exclusively for 2 HOURS! 3 HOURS in all for me!!
bloody catenaccio.
si vous ne pouvez pas marquer des buts, revenez a l'Italie! (if you can't score, go back to Italy!)
too bad the Nike Shox streaker didn't come on to liven up proceedings. i'm proud of costacurta and maldini though. this time they're on the right end of a 3-2 penalty shootout. remember USA '94?
my insomnia is cured!

if you saw me now, you'd say i was glowing.
2 reasons come to mind:
1] i just bought new shoes. adidas sala series at $66.
2] i just watched matrix reloaded.
probably both, but regarding the movie, who can answer my questions?
Q1: Neo's reactions when questioning the Architect (middle finger et al). what do they mean?
Q2: if Neo had chosen the door on the right, what would've happened? with the Source and all?
Q3: The Architect said that if he chose the door on the left, which he did, it could destroy the Matrix. Neo said the Architect could not allow it to happen, as all the humans would die. Archi said "there are certain levels of survival we can tolerate." something like that. meaning to say mankind is truly in the hands of Neo, since there's no way he can turn back. The code anomaly that is The One CAN destroy the matrix once and for all, and win the real war fortold in the FInal Renaissance. What do you guys think?
Tell me. Who wants to watch it again? =]

i feel bad about feeling sad, so to speak.
i want to be where i was when i was still confident of passing.
i don't want to miss my friends too much.
i don't want to find myself holding back tears on my bunk.
i want to look this in the eye and say it's a good thing, and i'm trying to, but it's not working...

i tried to organise football for my church team today and only one person turned up, God bless him. C'est moi.
In silent protest i proceeded to play on my own. quite a sight: one guy wearing the Ngeeann PT kit, juggling a ball, smack in the middle of tanjong pagar. howzat? =]

that's it. failed. the napfa test
had a great time at the football match - tampines beat U-23s 2-0. alicia and agnes enjoyed themselves despite the humidity. sue-ann overslept, so she erm... gave it a miss.
supper at lavender food square was phenomenal though. otah, fishcake, popiah and satay beehoon.
next match is on 5 june, student card gets you in free. young lions vs geylang united.
i had fun tonight. bright spot of a dour day.

this has 4 months of freedom riding on it, so let's do it properly. james has kindly agreed to take the test too, so we'll see how things go. he's not going home tonight, so i really dun see how he's gonna be in any shape to take the test tmr.
hit a streak of form playing pool at orchid country club today, against jill's boyfriend and his friends. we were playing winner stay and i sat down only twice i think.
one of them lost to sushi. i witnessed embarrassment both in victory and defeat. they didn't talk again all night. a bruised ego takes time to heal.

badminton was fun though. haris supposed to book but didn't book. we had 4 rackets and only 6 shuttlecocks ("for champions").
all in all, wildly fulfilling. toss in the fact that i actually can't play, and wield the racket like one would a tennis one, then you get the idea:
*dink* me: damn, missed the drop shot again.
*thwack* opponent: out.
*THWACK* me: gbe shubtelcob gob hid een myy mouf.
best part was when me and shermaine were speculating whether a guy on an adjacent court was gay.
shermaine (suddenly): look at him jump, confirm gay.
me: if he really is a happy person, and i look, and he makes eye contact. i'm sooooo gonna die...
people present: me arthur david haris james shermaine
people making the rest of us laugh, except his playing partner: haris
james demonstrated how his light grey tee could turn dark grey just by playing for two hours.
conclusion: what a shtoopid game...

i am shocked.
in the space of 10 minutes, my triceps visibly enlarged while i was doing push ups. i don't know how many pull ups i can do now, but this must be how steroids feel like.
i prayed this afternoon, begging that i pass the upcoming test on friday. God works in miraculous ways i guess!
now 3 days remain.
but i'm feeling much better already!
altogether now! "ain't no mountain high enough, ain;t no valley low enough, ain't no river wide enough!"

6 days!!!
came back from chalet at 1130. but felt surprisingly fresh.
had a good game of football at nanyang jc at 5.
i blur and told my friends [clarence and amos] nanyang poly. thank goodness supposed to meet earlier, so they had time to rush down.
me? i rushed too. took a cab, and ended up waiting for the organiser to turn up (in his Bob Marley shorts). damn relak man...
all in all spent $14 on a game of football, that i didn't even score in, and ended up losing 5-2.
and my mom says she gives me too much, as i always run out. any wonder why?
the chalet was good fun. we {eunice, jill, karene james marc and me] slept at 630 am after talking cock, singing out of tune to a Traveller's guitar, playing tai tee, pool golf, and basically playing football on an ant-hill.
then 6 people crammed on to two single beds. cannot turn man. and eunice's phone kept vibrating. woke everyone up. except her. james became a pillow some more.
when we finally woke up at 830, i groggily asked "what's that sound?". apparently it was the toilet flush. actually i was talking about crickets lah, but they didn't listen. did i mention there was a monkey in bed with us. no wonder marc had his hand on his crotch. no wonder. actually why ah? he said it was to protect us from kicking him. whatever.
ms anita kuan came. her two adorable children ("wah grow up confirm heartbreaker one!" - sabrina chia) erica and bradley kept us occupied. and they didn't. even. cry. i called them angels.
the people at the BBQ pit managed to single-handedly raise the PSI level to 150 with their cooking, but we ate anyway lah. pai seh mah. meat ball sauce was good. my part in it? i filled the boiler? rather expertly i might add.
oh learned frisbee too. must say it's quite fun. no need to run about. germaine's assures me i have to though. damn.
i intend to have as much fun as i can before enlistment, so next stop: chalet on tuesday! woohoo!

all in all spent $14 on a game of football, that i didn't even score in, and ended up losing 5-2.
and my mom says she gives me too much, as i always run out. any wonder why?
the chalet was good fun. we {eunice, jill, karene james marc and me] slept at 630 am after talking cock, singing out of tune to a Traveller's guitar, playing tai tee, pool golf, and basically playing football on an ant-hill.
then 6 people crammed on to two single beds. cannot turn man. and eunice's phone kept vibrating. woke everyone up. except her. james became a pillow some more.
when we finally woke up at 830, i groggily asked "what's that sound?". apparently it was the toilet flush. actually i was talking about crickets lah, but they didn't listen. did i mention there was a monkey in bed with us. no wonder marc had his hand on his crotch. no wonder. actually why ah? he said it was to protect us from kicking him. whatever.
ms anita kuan came. her two adorable children ("wah grow up confirm heartbreaker one!" - sabrina chia) erica and bradley kept us occupied. and they didn't. even. cry. i called them angels.
the people at the BBQ pit managed to single-handedly raise the PSI level to 150 with their cooking, but we ate anyway lah. pai seh mah. meat ball sauce was good. my part in it? i filled the boiler? rather expertly i might add.
oh learned frisbee too. must say it's quite fun. no need to run about. germaine's assures me i have to though. damn.
i intend to have as much fun as i can before enlistment, so next stop: chalet on tuesday! woohoo!

my napfa test passing mark:
34 sit ups
222cm standing broad jump
30cm sit and reach
5 pull ups
10.6s shuttle run
12:30s 2.4 km
my results:
35 sit ups
227cm standing broad jump
44cm sit and reach
3 pull ups
10.2s shuttle run
DNF 2.4 km
it all went well. i had patato chips instead of pasta i hour instead of 3 hrs before the test (plus charsiew pau and carrot cake) and two (instead of one) chocolate bars just before the test. i had sore hamstrings thanks to training for the jump the night before (thanks to keh), and a sore spot on me abs as if someone punched me there. applied Counterpain liberally on sore spots. sorta worked.
all ok so far.
i got on the chin up bar, and pulled... my shoulder out of the normal flexibility range. think of the sound when you tear a chicken bone from another, the tendon tearing. ouch couldn't do nuts after that. which explained the sissy 2.4 run. hafiz and nat passed, and hafiz said: "i almost gave up when you gave up man." all this when i was wincing. i should have carried on though. or should i?
and so it ends as it began... short of the mark. i'm trying again on the 26th. wish me luck...
