More freed up, but lesser post.. Doesnt fit into an equation..

I've been delaying this post forever..

Night job is done... Proper sleep now.. Hoping to jog at least 3 times a week.. Kinda impossible with my undisciplined mind..

Kinda miss the rush life, no other thoughts in my head except for time to sleep... It was an experience.. More tough than army, but still beats army life.. ORD loh!

Back to days where my mind wanders around again.. Silly thoughts will keep popping up again..

Played monopoly with Irene, Sy n Shermin on Sat.. Surprisingly, Shermin and Sy never really played alot of monopoly.. And of cos, the monopoly king, me, dominated again.. Kinda miss the time when me nick n hp played monopoly, even thou it took forever to finish the game, but it was flicking funny whenever negotiations starts..

N SIM finally sent me the letter.. Have to go for this compulsory thing on 10 Dec, think it's kinda like a orientation kind. Dun really know what to expect.. Here comes the next phase of my life..

R.I.P

Always save the best for last.. That is the story of my week..

The night job should is ending soon.. And the tempo is really picking up.. Suddenly last fri nite, i had to work as well!! Sian.. Finally got a rest on Sat nite, then it's back to work tonight!! Power lah.. Honestly, very very shag, but i pray God's strength come upon me, with my own strength, it's really impossible.. REALLY impossible..

Yst night was like a super duper rare night. When was the last time we really chilled and laugh our heart out.. It was pretty ironic thou that one of our funniest nights came at a funeral wake.. But still, we paid our respects, and RIP matt's grandpa.. A salute to remarkable willpower that he displayed!

What the heck.. hmm.. i meant to post this at the start of the week, wonder why it was in drafts... weird..

Bbq again anyone?? $10 nia..

Yst's Cg was a surprise really.. When was the last time i hear our cg meeting so noisy, and so late of cos.. Brings back old memories.. Now, looking at the cg, i'm probably like the "marcus" or "roy" of my cg last time.. The older ones who hang out by themselves while the small kids make all the noises.. haha.. I truly understand how they feel..I guess when you're older, you become less spontaneous?? Like time to take a step back, loud noises arent the thing for me.. haha..

And I guess besides Timothy in the Cg, i am really the other more senior person inside.. 6 years in church.. Cant believe it has been that long.. I cant believe i've been going service almost every sat for 6 years!! Amazing.. So is like, i'm the oldest member besides the cellgrp leader.. Cant imagine if i have a cellgrp leader that prob been to church like 2 years?? Then, i'm 6 years, would be kinda weird i feel.. haha..

I miss the helper days where we would all come together to organise this or plan this.. It was fun and probably made us alot more closer also.. I remember me, jx, hp, hj.. Days when we plan Cg bbq.. I still remember the first time we did it, it was a flop, and Eric n Angie wasnt too please, and we were rather young and pissed off, with the "you so good, you ownself do loh" attitude.. In de end, when the next bbq came, we gave them 1x powerful bbq.. We started to correct our mistakes from the previous ones, came up with new ideas, and it was very successful..

I remember we would even go on to organize bbqs at pasir ris parks for our own group, and we would eat so full.. The best thing, each one came up with like $10 max.. We had stingrays and satays and stuff.. We were on top of the world.. $10 per person can make till so powerful.. And from then on, we were pretty critical of other people who hosted bbq, cos we would think we could make it so much better! Haha.. Young and naive..

Hopelessly..

Lazy to update.. But here it goes..

Amazingly, Man Utd have been screwed by the ref for 2 consecutive matches against Big 4 clubs.. First Liverpool, now Chelsea.. Again, it's with the what ifs.. What if there wasnt a free kick awarded for a non existence foul?? What if Drogba did not drag Brown down?? Why couldnt the linesman open his eyes to see Drogba was offside when he attempted to kick the ball, but missed, in to the net?? How can that not be interfering when he was attempting??

We will never know again, if Chelsea would have won it fair and square..

But what did i say.. Anderson, Fletcher n Carrick have to start contributing the goals.. But where were they?? Presented with chances to shoot, Fletcher and Carrick shot like as if it was a goal kick.. Anderson made the worst choice possible to pass to a fully marked Rooney.. Man Utd midfielders need to start scoring now!!If either of them had taken their chance, it would have easily been 1-0 to Man Utd..

Clearly, Man Utd did not deserve to win, but at the same time, did not deserve to lose.. Unfair result for a match that Man Utd dominated.. Full marks for breaking down Chelsea's diamond formation.. Great performance from Brown and Evans.. Made Anelka and Drogba looked like Indra Shadan and Agu Casmir.. Outstanding performance by Rooney of cos, who one man created havoc for the four Chelsea defenders.. Sad that they did not get the results they deserve..

Back to my world..

This whole week, having a break from the night job becos of APEC.. Apparently we arent allowed to work at the airport becos of that.. Maybe they think we will plant a bomb in the Air Force One plane that Obama takes.. haha..

The difference of reporting to the day job w/o the night job is extremely significant.. No need to resort to 20mins toilet breaks just to steal a nap, no more struggling to keep awake infront of the computer screen.. No more 4 cups of tea a day.. Haha..

After this week, 2 more weeks of the night job and i am done.. My bank balance is extremely low at the moment, not sure if i can even survive till pay day with that amount.. But God will make a way for me.. i believe.. Worst come to worst, pack lunch to work?? haha..

I truly am a hopeless romantic.. I guess every1 has their weaknesses.. Maybe i should start looking at mine first instead of others.. I definitely should.. Stop placing stupid ideas or theories in my mind!!! I wanna live normally!! I dun need this rollercoaster ride!!

Chelsea Vs Man Utd

Oh, and i almost forgot.. The preview of Chelsea vs Man Utd in this space..

Both teams coming from draws in their previous game in the Champions League, thou it should be noted that both also qualified from their group already..

Statistics show that Chelsea are the favourites to win. Chelsea playing at home, have not lost yet this season. One important point to look is that they have only conceded one goal so far at home this season. This is a rather frightening record coming in to this game. Man Utd have an uphill task presented to them. It does not help that Man Utd have been goal shy this season. Scoring a total of 23 goals compared to Chelsea's 28 goals.

You might think the difference isnt alot, but when you consider a chelsea a more defensive team, boasting the best defensive record of letting in only 8 goals this season, 28 goals scored is rather impressive. You would place Man Utd with the ranks of Arsenal for their attacking football, but this season, it's no where close. Arsenal has scored 36 goals this season. See the difference. It's true that Man Utd lack the penetration that Ronaldo offers, but they are still at a changing phase. I truly believe the midfielders have to step up to the plate. Centre Mids like Anderson, Carrick and Fletcher have to start popping in the goals.

You look at the big teams, Chelsea has Lampard n Ballack who are capable of that, Liverpool used to have Alonso n Gerrard, Arsenal have Frabegas n Arshavin now. Last time Man Utd used to have Scholes and Giggs, but they are old now, and none of the midfielders are taking up the mantle.

To the next point, Man Utd defense has been woeful this season. Letting in 11 goals this season. 11 goals may not be alot, but it was more of the manner of how they allowed those goals to go in. Foster's many bloopers.. Ferdinand's giving away free passes to oppositions or him allowing Torres to go past him easily.. When a team lets in this kind of goals, it affects the whole team, cos players do not have confidence in the defence. If attackers are confident of their own defence, they could stay in offensive positions to counter w/o worrying, but if they arent, they may just track back more and waste a chance to score on a counter.

The one weakness that Chelsea really have, is their set piece marking.. It was exposed during the 2-1 defeat against Aston Villa. Unfortunately, i do not believe Man United have the ability to expose it. Vidic has been quiet in set pieces and since Ronaldo is gone, no one really bang the headers in anymore. Every1 knows that u must expose the zonal marking when playing against Liverpool, but Man Utd cldnt even pose a trouble during corners, which shows they arent really gonna score from there this season.

And the one weakness that Man Utd have, is their confidence. Drogba would be the one who exploits that today. He made Carragher look like a defender from Wolves, and now Ferdinand and Vidic are doubts for the match, he would even find himself having easier matchups wth Evans and Brown. Unless United starts claiming clean sheets, their season would be a wobbly one. Their previous match in the Champions League ended in a 3-3 draw. 3 goals let in, it shows how much confidence the defense have right now.

Logically, Chelsea would win this match, but my heart is still with Man Utd to win. That's all for my analyst, a simple one, there could have been more points to touch on, but i'll leave it here.. Man Utd all the way!!

A bad week..

The episode in the prev post, about my day job, is officially over.. Amazingly, my supervisor to clear the misunderstanding.. But, i still dun get it how others cant see from my point of view.. Does it mean that right n wrong must always stay that way?? Doesn't understanding of human reaction or behavior have any value anymore?? Whatever happened to the prodigal son story or yellow ribbon project?? Shall we just condemn that as wrong and not be understanding anymore??

Maybe it's just me?? Stubborn?? Or are people just so ignorant of another person's point of view anymore?? I am surprised becos people whom i consider friends, maybe not close ones, but at least people i have had years of companionship with, cant even seem to share my point of view or even sympathise with me.. All they could do was just insist their way to show me i'm wrong.. Forget it..

I was looking forward to soccer today so much, but ended up pretty disappointed by the way we played.. It was a case of me expecting too much and my team mates playing lousier than expected.. The tempo of the game was slow.. All look so lethargic, all so off form.. No desire to win.. In de end we kept losing or drawing with teams we should be winning each game.. How to enjoy like this?? Then again, maybe it's my fault again lah ah as it always is..

The chelsea vs man utd prediction coming up soon nxt.. stay tuned..

Pick on me please..

I'm not really sure why i dun do well with my bosses/supervisors or any1 who has authority over me.. I got a feeling, it's just my face.. I think i really have the please pick on me face.. Other people could do the same thing or worst than me, but in the end, i would be the one who kanna say.. I really dun understand..

Army was such.. Now my two jobs, also kanna.. My night job, main task is to pick up litter.. Now kanna say abit cos my other two workers sticking the poster did not do a good job.. Say i am suppose to correct their angle if it is wrong.. They screwed up the calculation part, den stick wrongly, can also make like i have some involvement in it.. By the time we realised it was screwed up, also too late liao.. Den the previous ones they do, minor angle problems also, becomes my prob.. My aunt say must look experienced if not kanna say.. Any1 in my position cant do anything also unless he is a pro, which i am not.. So, wth.. I stick to my main task also kanna.. Bwg..

My day job, kanna one assignment that really take a damn long time to do.. It is simple, just checking of data, but it's kan pua alot of data.. Like millions of entry that kind.. So me n lucas sort the worker's surnames by alphabetical order, den we just pick which alphabets we wan.. We picked all the alphabets with the least ppl, but yet, it still took damn long to do.. The worst case would be one guy having 200-300 entries, most ppl average about a 100.. Looking at entries everyday is no joke, so boring nvm, we come from nite job, kan pua shag.. Cannot stand..

We din really take our time, just that we take damn long to do cos we cant keep awake at times.. Lucas would sleep at the desk, at least for me, i go to toilet to sleep, not so obvious.. Even den, Lucas also nvr kanna say.. Today he din come work cos he too shag, take mc, and just nice my supervisor came to check on our work.. Just check what we've checked kind.. At first i tot she was okay.. She is our age one, can joke n such, disturb abit.. In de end, she saw me use msn rather "excessively", which i still dun really agree, den go complain to Hj say i use too much.. She thinks i use too much nvm, at least tell me to my face, i tot she was cool, but guess not, still go round one circle just to shoot back.. I hate it.. Now say want to switch our seats.. really not cool at all..

In de end Hj still email me to tell me not to use so much.. Wth.. Not like i din even do my work, i did alot today sumore, but she cant see that, what she see only is me using the bloody msn.. Use msn awhile kanna caught, Lucas sleep at the desk so long, also nvr kanna... I really just got the "pick on me" face..

Really give up liao.. Think nxt time i must open my own company.. Under people sure die one..

Start of something new??

I barely experienced the full power of working 2 shifts yet.. The schedule last week became this, Tue nite work, wed day rest, wed nite work, thurs day work, thurs nite rest, fri day work, fri nite rest.. So i only experienced the full effect for just one day.. From wed nite, work all the way till thurs evening.. And it was pretty unbearable at times that day already.. Thankfully, the nite job on thurs n fri was abandoned.. I'm still unsure of the reason thou.. Now i really have doubts how to survive a whole week of it!! But i will survive!! Many ppl still doubt me, but i will prove them wrong!! It's all in the mind.. N tonite, it starts all over again.. Just bring it..

Last fri, joined my company's event.. Played soccer at cage.. Honestly, i have never felt so shag from playing soccer till that day.. I was posted to a diff team from Hj n Lucas.. We 3 are probably the more better ones out of the whole company.. Sure there are some good ones, but we are the better ones.. The sad part was, me n their teams were in the same grp.. There were 6 teams, 2 groups.. So 1 group had 3 teams.. N started off with a round robin.. Top 2 teams get to fight for first place..

Hj's team was like a cheat team.. Cos the whole company played, so there were girls in the teams.. But Hj's team had no girls, and plenty of subs sumore.. Whereas other teams had like girls each, and some dun even have subs.. On paper, his team was the strongest.. And rightly so, his team top our group.. My team played against his, drew 0-0.. And den they breezed thru the other 3rd team.. So it was left to my team n the 3rd team to fight out the last spot.. They needed a win, we just needed a draw..

But 2 mins in to the game, one of my players exert too much pressure on the knee, lost the ball, and let in a goal.. And in de end a girl sub into our team, cos we only had 5 ppl.. The odds were against us suddenly.. One half of 5mins left, one man down, one woman in, my team were very shag cos we were playing as if 4v5... The girl cldnt do much.. But just like the adiddas advertisements, every team needs a spark.. I took control of the game, ran my heart out, and it took a moment of brilliance from me, to keep our team in the competition.. Had the ball on the left side, cut in right side, curl the ball like how Bellamy did against Man Utd, but it went bottom corner instead of top.. And that was it, it was enuf to send us thru to the nxt round..

And from then on we struggled all the way, cos my "gas" tank was really low, i was too damn shag after that game.. We scrape thru the semi finals with a last minute goal to meet Hj's team again in the finals.. By then i really running on reserve fuel liao.. In de end, it took another moment of brilliance from his team to score the only goal to decide the tie.. I had no complaints, i felt my team did excellent to reach even the finals.. The end result?? Thigh muscle pulled and calf muscle strain.. Nice!! Made me miss Sat's soccer..

Lastly, i did something on sat that i haven did for a long long time.. Eating with Cg.. HAHA!! The special occasion was Timothy's bday.. Honestly, i feel i needed to go for this cos he is a leader i really respect.. And i felt this wld be my way of showing him appreciation.. It wasnt that bad in the end, cos at least there were familiar faces sitting around me.. Stella, Xin yi, Ade.. Then we decided to saboh Timothy, okay, maybe not we, maybe it was just me who came up with the idea, but it's like common what, bday boy to do forfeit.. haha.. We took almost every soup base, mixed it with chilli sauce, ice lemon tea and a raw egg and pour it into a bowl.. Okay what, din really go too far with it.. haha..

And Liverpool, you truly deserve to lose.. TRULY!!

Okay bye!!
