Well, I've fallen madly in love with the ukulele. And I guess the only cure is for me to finally get my hands on one. Haha.
It's been weeks since this Ukulele fever took over me, so I gave myself a few weeks to see if it'll go away. You know, like how some passions in life run high, but fade away as quickly as it came? Yeah. That moment of blinded passion. So I waited out for a few weeks, and instead it raged stronger than ever before.
I went a little crazy and sent an e-mail enquiring about the ukulele, cus' I actually searched the Web and found this shop called the "Davis Guitars" in Peninsular Plaza which actually carries the ukulele!!! Ukuleles, or shops that carry the ukuleles for that matter, are few and far between so Yeah yeah yeah I finally found a shop that has it!!! *beams*Yes this is the little baby. Isn't she the prettiest thing? Haha it sounds better than it looks. I'll be saving for this baby, cus' I wanna pay for my new mobile phone. :D But yes it's gonna be worth it!
Wooh~

The Last Lap.
You know how when you're on to your last lap of a race, run whatever, it's usually the most tiring part but also the most exhilarating at the same time. It's weeks away before the exams.
And this week's gonna be hellish, what with essay and project deadlines lined up one after the other.
On one hand, I'd love to have extra time for assignments, exams, on the other, I'm wishing time'd fly by, just so the holidays will come soon! :D

I'm in a daze right now, I can feel my heart in my stomach. I believe Manure has broken the hearts of all Liverpool fans tonight. :((((((((((( Hence, I'll just type down everything I jotted down on my soccer notebook. I'm unable to process any sort of thinking whatsoever. :,(
Manure 3-0 Liverpool
Referee: Steve Bennett
Manure kicks off.
[3"] Wah lau some Manure player falls down in front of Torres, obstructing him as he lurks in the penalty box. Kuyt does well to keep ball in possession in the face of 2 Manure defenders.
[5"] Rooney's 1 on 1 with Pepe and he shoots but Pepe makes a vital safe. WHAT A SCARE! Roo and Yu must be cursing. Some nice one-touch passes from Liverpool.
[9"] Rooney shoots on target after picking up the ball from a sudden surge of pace away from his marker.
[10"] Mascherano's yellow carded for a sliding tackle. I personally thought it was a legal challenge, yes he's prolly a lil' late on that challenge but it's legit to me. Thought he was a lil' too harsh on that one. Mascherano waves away the ref adamantly. Mascherano's got a fiery temper (as always, I think aggression runs in Argentinian blood). Commentator talks about rugby style code of conduct on the pitch.
[11"] Babel does well as he weaves past 2 Manure defenders, but ball play gets intercepted. Corner. Taken by Gerrard.
There's this moment where the ball was rolling out of play, and Alonso kicks the ball hard against the advertisement boards so that it'll bounce back to him. I thought this was pretty clever, cus' usually most of us will just follow the ball and pick it up. Ok ok back to the game.
[14"] Ronaldo does too many stepovers (I honestly dislike Ronaldo for his flashy, flamboyant, obnoxious style of play, he reminds me of that French tennis player Jo-Wilfried Tsonga who stunned Nadal in the recent Australian Open, grrrr). So flashy and for what? Useless as he runs into Alonso soon after.
Arsenal looks more like an Arsenal player than a Liverpool player, haha I don't know why.
We seem to need Crouchy's aerial threat as we keep having long, high balls in.
[16"] Miscommunication from Giggs and Rooney near the penalty box.
Oooh Solskjaer is in the stands.
[20"] Ball possession: Manure 51% - 49% Liverpool
Nice defending by Mascherano on Ronaldo.
Miscommunication between Kuyt and Torres (21").
Nice stoppage by Mascherano.
Whatta SCARE! Reina runs out and chests the ball shakily away.
Mascherano has to tone down a little or he'll get into serious trouble for misconduct especially with the hot debate over conduct in english football recently.
[23"] A Manure free-kick from the sideline picks out Ronaldo as he tries to shoot nearside of post, bounces off the post and away from the net.
[25"] Nice challenge by Arbeloa as he puts ball out of play.
[26"] Nice stepover by Babel. Alonso sets up Kuyt, Kuyt sets up Gerrard who's lurking down the middle in the box, he shoots but it's just wide. Corner kick to Liverpool.
I gotta admit, Manure's pace (especially obvious in the forward) is immense. In terms of pace, Manure wins hands down.
[28"] Manure's first corner, Ronaldo lurks in penalty box. No threat.
Haissss if only Kuyt's pace is a lil' faster, it'll be so much better to assist either Babel or Torres. Kuyt's lack of pace gives Manure defenders more time to close down on us.
[31"] Nice play by Aurelio to Torres, but play's intercepted.
[32"] Manure striker shoots on target, Pepe jumps high and slaps it away just inches before it goes beyond the line, PHEW!!!
[33"] Wes Brown beats Pepe high in the air, after a cross from Rooney. Pepe tries to punch it away, but collides and ball goes into the net. Wes Brown, with a header puts Manure 1-0 in the lead.
Our defense is really disappointing tonight, it has been really shaky, Hyypia's absence? Manure's stretching our defense waaaay wide, leaving gaping holes in the middle which can be exploited by Rooney or Ronaldo, even more so with their monstrous pace.
Crouch's warming up in the side-lines. Commentator talks about Teddy Sherringham who supports a rugby style of conduct on a radio programme upon his retirement.
[39"] Ronaldo shoots but 2 man wall does its job.
[41"] Babel's really pro at weaving in and out of defenders on the flank, if only he could successfully cross the ball to the middle.
{43"] Torres is yellow carded for dissent. Mascherano taunts the referee relentlessly, ref lost his patience and gives Masch his 2nd yellow card and is sent off the field. Rafa and the trainers had to calm him down and get him off the field.
This is serious cus' the only people doing decent defending tonight are Carra and Mascherano. And so, we're 1 man down against Manure. T_T
Nokia MOTM is Ronaldo with 60%. WHAT THE!?!?!?! I thought it'd be Scholes.
Start of 2nd half.
[46"] Manure gives a major scare again as Rooney shoots, but Pepe makes yet another amazing save.
Gerrard is forced to play deeper now as Masch's absence is sorely felt.
[52"] Arbeloa's yellow carded as he brings down Andersen just outside the penalty box. Free kick given to Manure.
[54"] Liverpool's severely lacking, lotsa dangerous moments as Manure pounds at our defense.
[55"] Van der Saar's looooong ball down our half finds Rooney down the middle, and he's 1 on 1 with Pepe again, he shoots but it deflects off Pepe's legs. Rooney's monstrous burst of pace can be seen here, it kinda reminds me of Michael Owen in his heyday.
[58"] Commentator "Ronaldo always expects a free kick". I couldn't agree more, this is especially so whenever a defender runs side by side with him down the flank.
[59"] Ronaldo volleys the ball way over the net.
[60"] Yello card to Ferdinand for challenge on Torres.
Shots on target: Manure 11 - 3 Liverpool.
Evra offside.
Benayoun's gonna come on. One of the commentators keep pronouncing Ben-ya-noon. U_U"
[65"] Liverpool sub: Benayoun on, Babel off.
[67"] Scholes penalized as he pesters Alonso.
[68"] Free-kick by Gerrard, he tries to pick out Torres but the ball slipped away from him as he lurks dangerously in the penalty box.
[68"] Torres makes a run towards goal but gets closed in by 3 defenders. O_O
[69"] Free-kick to Liverpool, taken by Alonso after a foul by Rooney.
[70"] Nobody to support Torres in the box!!! If only Crouchy was on instead of Kuyt!!!
[71"] Gerrard shoots from the middle and is just wide.
[72"] Nice ball in by Rooney, he crosses it to Andersen who wasted an awesome chance at goal by skyrocketing into the stand.
Manure sub: Giggs off, Nani on. Tevez on, Andersen off. I think Andersen's really lousy for Manure.
[73"] Pepe makes yet another good save from Tevez!!! AWESOME save!!!
Why isn't Rafa taking Kuyt off and putting Crouchy on!?!?!
[75"] Torres is down as he grabs his ankle. Recovers.
[78"] Ronaldo shoots, rolls off Pepe.
[79"] Ronaldo scores with a header. 2-0 to Manure. :((
[80"] Nani makes it 3-0 to Manure. :(((((((((
I was so sian at the remaining 10 mins that I basically closed my notebook looking like this :(((((.
I agree that Mascherano was stupid for challenging the ref, and got sent off. Mascherano is a good midfielder and did his red card cost us tonight? Yes it did. But in all honesty, I feel that Liverpool didn't really have a real chance of converting. Why wasn't Crouchy on? This match was vital to both Liverpool and Manure. A win to Manure gives them a 6 point lead over Arsenal who have been drawing a lot lately. I'd rather Arsenal win the title race, really. A loss to Liverpool would mean Everton can spring an upset on us, with them breathing down our necks, there's a chance they can kick us off 4th spot. And if that happens, the Champions League will be a lot tougher for us next season. SIGH.
Consolation
Well, the only consolation tonight was that I finally get to see Jam Xiao Jing Teng on SINGAPORE TV tonight, on Channel U. Omg I'm just mesmerised whenever he sings, the last song he sang was the best! Oh god! I can't wait for his album to be out come May, I'll definitely purchase his album and go for all his autograph sessions! :)
Ok. Smelly's out. Peace.
, 12:49 AM
Happy 21st Birthday Ah Zhao! (and the night Smelly cramped Dx)
Today's a very special day (though it was one day belated, but it is still very special for all of us) for one of our privileged members of Vultures Inc., and she's none other than Ah Zhao! Haha so all of us met up at ECP earlier to set up the area, cus' we planned a surprise for the special lady (not a girl not yet a woman, so lady). We told Ah Zhao that we will meet at ECP's Mac at 8.00pm. I met up with Ah Shing at Toa Payoh at 4.45pm initially, umm but we were a little late haha. Oh oh when I took a bus out to Yishun interchange right there was this guy sitting in front of me and he looked kinda Ah Beng, then there was this insect on his side of the window, and he actually jerked backwards!!! Hahaha omg I was cracking up silently inside, haha oh well I can get stereotypical at times. Lol. Okay back to topic, then we took a bus to Parkway Parade and surprisingly, it didn't take too long to reach there. :D
Walked around the basement and thankfully, we found not one... but MANY cake shops! Haha so yeah we went up to Giant and met up with Xinyi, then we got stuff on our shopping list, Amazing Race style. Hahaha it was damn funny, cus' we were like "Okay okay settled, faster faster go find the next item!!! Go go go!". And so we weaved around the supermarket, pretty much like maniacs on the loose. Haha we decided to gop chili sauce from Mac's instead of buying an entire bottle. So we got party poppers (Ah Shing later pronounced it as "party poopers" LOL! Yeah I have very creative friends ;D), paper cutlery and plates, Colon biscuits. We wanted to make yucky colon biscuits for Ah Zhao but later ended up eating them, cus' there wasn't much time to play games. After Giant, we teleported down to Polar and got the cake (omg! The nutella cake is to die for!).
Teleported next to Mac's to get chili sauce while Ah Shing and Xinyi went to OCK to takeaway some finger food. LOL. And I went to the counter and asked them for chili sauce and the guy directed me to the sauces area, and I stupidly took a little tray and filled it with chili sauce and crossed the road, while trying to shield it with my very bimbotic wallet (which is even more eye-catching U_U"). LOL their expressions when they saw me carrying that little tray of chili sauce was super hilarious!!! Haha yeah and of course we disposed it and went to LJS to gop some sauce. After finally getting everything needed, we walked to the underpass, during which we umm met with some (mis)adventure. Lol I can't imagine we can so much 'fun' crossing water puddles. Haha! Finally made it to ECP!
We began trekking and hunting for empty benches with 2 trees around it (so as to suspend the birthday banner for Ah Zhao). And there were lotsa GINORMOUS water puddles which we concluded were toad infested. Hahaha! FINALLY we found the perfect spot!!! Haha began to write up Ah Zhao's birthday scrapbook, the book's really, really pretty AND meaningful! Zlink and her bf came soon after, haha credits to Zlink's bf's mum for the beehoon, the beehoon's yummylicious, lol and silly us thought there was abalone in it. Lol! And Zlink and her bf contributed the light sticks, heart-shaped balloons too! Thanks!
Got info that our target Ah Zhao has reached ECP Mac's, so agent Xinyi and Agent umm Me went over to meet up with her. We had to pretend that Ah Shin and Zlink were late, and that we were going to a hawker centre for dinner. LOL. We had to stall for time cus' Ah Shing and Zlink were decorating the area, hanging up the banner, balloons and putting light sticks around the area. They buzzed us when they were done, and we told Ah Zhao we had to walk a loooong way to the hawker centre, crapped that it was waaay at the jetty. Hahaha then Xinyi is super cute! We stopped suddenly, and Xinyi told Ah Zhao we were told by Zlink to blindfold her, and luckily she relented! Haha so yeah there we have Ah Zhao blindfolded, and escorted by 2 of us by her side. LOL! Then we reached the area, I pretended to like look for something in my bag so that Ah Shing and Zlink can take pictures, then ran off to grab party poppers and POPPED it when her blindfold was off. Hahaha! Springing surprises is super fun!!! OMG and there were people standing around our area watching us. Haha!
Cake cutting time! Took pictures for the cake cutting ceremony and we dived into the cake immediately after. Haha what to do, Vultures will always be Vultures. LOL. And we crapped a lot there, and shared some ummm... in my opinion, REALLY funny gossip. Hahaha hush hush! We were really nonsensical man, there were some people letting off Kong Ming lanterns into the sky, on the other end of ECP. Then Xinyi said there was a UFO, then some of us guessed it was a shooting star, but we concluded that it was a not-so advanced UFO cus' it moved oh-so slowly. Haha then there was a patrol car, and I was telling them "Don't limp!" or else it'll sound the Mas Selamat alert, hahaha they were super funny la! Omg. It was really fun, and it felt so cosy and stuff to sit around the bench, just crapping and umm doing LIGHT GOSSIP while basking in the glow of the light sticks. And the moon was wonderful tonight, really really beautiful. Haha and oh oh I didn't realise there were so many ships in ECP!!! I know there are a lot of ships, but I never really noticed there were THAT many ships! The orange lights were so bright, and they were like twinkling in the horizon, like those lights in oil refineries. Haha.
Presented Ah Zhao her pressie and that special, special scrapbook. Ah Zhao will definitely love the pressie we got for her!!! Then we packed up and cleared our rubbish, cus' we had to rush for the last bus back. Then Ah Shing and I decided to cab back instead while Ah Zhao and Xinyi took a bus back. So 3 of us walked with Zlink's bf and his friend to somewhere in Marine Parade to cab. Hahaha and 3 of us tried to sing Crank Dat Soulja Boy and Low, but we made it ermm... to say the least, monotonous. Lol! And that was when it happened!
We were standing at the pavement while they helped us flag down a cab when I had a cramp in my left calf. Dx I hurt so bad! My calf cramped a lil' when we went to Mac's toilet earlier but it recovered as soon as it came. Then it cramped again, and they flagged down a cab already!!! Omg! I didn't want them to know I cramped initially, cus' it was soooo embarrassing! I didn't expect the cab to come so soon!! Lol and I cramped in an awkward positon! Lol you know like the warm-up you do during PE, one left infront, the other leg bent. OMG I swear it hurts so bad I couldn't like even twitch or it'll hurt big time. I really cringed in pain and kept flaying my hands at them to tell them to wave the taxi away. Lol and they were making me laugh la!!! Haha can't believe they can actually laugh at my sorry plight T_T. Lol so Zlink and her bf were telling me to lift up my heel to stretch, I tried and it hurts soooo bad. Hahaha. But finally managed to force myself to limp towards the next cab. Grrr so much for Mas Selamat limping jokes. T_T. Karma. Lol.
So yeap, reached home and here I am blogging about this amazing day! Haha I know we made it special for Ah Zhao! I was so glad the rain earlier didn't ruin our plans! Once again, HAPPY 21st BIIRTHDAY AH ZHAO! :D
Peektures coming up! n_n
The lightsticks are looking really pretty in my bedroom! :D Haha Ah Shing I know you wanted so much to go drinking and ton but we're tired and there's project meets tomorrow (Dx). Haha but let's go the next time we go on outings! ;D
Omg. I was watching the Barca vs R. Valladolid match as I'm typing this entry, and there's this R. Valladolid player who's like crazily awesome, his pace is superb man! He actually ran solo down the left flank in Barca's half and almost scored. Haha omg I think Barca's defense seriously suck leh. But Barca got the lead , this Barca player weaved past 2 defenders (superb ball control!) and shot on target but it bounced off the keeper, lucky this Barca player picked it up and knocked it into the net. Haha always keep your eyes on the ball, Michael Owen's dad always says. But Barca didn't stay in the lead for long cus R. Valladolid equalise pretty soon after. R.V is a pretty good team I'm kinda surprised by their quality. Haha but I'm not gonna continue with the 2nd half cus' my eyes are shutting down on me. Geez. Oh yeah the La Liga commentators SUCK leh really. It's either they have funny accents or they're so so so boring, like they speak intermittently, so you get like 5 seconds of silence and then talk, more silence, then when they nearly score they'll YELL suddenly. Lol what the buck? I prefer the funny accented commentators though, they're hilarious and they keep me awake. Lol.
Tomorrow's the ultimate match of all matches for Liverpool fans. Liverpool vs Manure Utd baby~ But usually there's this like major hype prior to all LFC vs MUFC matches, and when you do watch the match, it gets kinda boring. But it's okay, I know Gerrard, Torres, Mascherano and all the Liver lads are gonna spice things up tomorrow. You'll never walk alone! :)

My thoughts on losing my mobile.
The 2 main things that hit me the hardest after the loss of my mobile are: 1) Unable to contact or be contacted. 2) No music!
But... I'll be getting a mobile next week, hopefully. Currently undergoing the punishment period. D:
It is possible to live without a mobile, in the sense that you won't die from it, but yeah it's sure gonna be tough without it. Lol. Morale of the story: I should stop being so careless and not lose any more mobiles again! :D
P.S I've been trying out Cwalk some time ago (it's really fun) and soon I wanna learn the ukulele!
Wanna know what a ukulele looks like? ;)
Yep this is the ukulele. It is a Hawaiian musical instrument, and looks like a mini guitar with 4 strings. It looks beautiful and sounds heavenly! :D

Bored people lookie here!
Wanna know what Smelly does when she's bored? Well, when Smelly's bored at home after a long (not so long) and hard (not so hard) day at school, she makes some tea and have some (many) snacks and watch some videos on YouTube that cracks her up. Lol. Enough with the third person narrative, I'm here to share some funny videos with you bored people. :D Yeah I know, Melly may be Smelly but she's full of niceties.
Here's one featuring Shimmycocopuffsss (YouTube user). In the video, he shares 5 relatively unknown facts about himself. Lol. I especially love the part where he yells "What's wrong with you white people?! Why do you eat so much cheese! I can't handle this European fart!". Hahaha that like crack me up sooo much, you have no idea!
Movin' on... here's another video by KevJumba that's one of my many favorites. It's tough to like pick one and post it here, I always feel like posting like all of em' here. Haha so I think I'm gonna go with ... 5 Facts About KevJumba! Hahaha since the previous video is like Shimmycocopuff's 5-fact vid, I might as well go with this one. So yea, it's really funny and I love his dog, Jackie. :D Damn I just killed an ant circling around my mouse. Oh btw in case you guys didn't notice, in his final fact he goes to post his voter registration form, he actually put it into his own mailbox when he's supposed to like return the mail to the mailer, so he's gonna get them BACK in his postbox again. Haha!
Next up's a video by Happyslip. I'm a total fan of her skits (vids) in which she always puts on this Filipino accent (she's from the Philippines) which is hella funny! It's so funny it's like this FUNNY. Haha note how she plays the stereotypical aunt, the mom, the dad and the awkward teenager with the Mac. LOL. Love how her vids always end with "Interested? Be sure to wear your happy slip". Man I love her fob accent! FYI: She's the lady who played the 'Mum' in KevJumba's 'Put it in purse', and she plays all the roles in her skits mostly. Haha! This vid's about how Happyslip (Catherine) spends Thanksgiving, titled 'Tanks'. LOL.
Haha is your stomach hurting from all that laughing by now? Huh huh huh? Lol. Okay okay so I'm gonna end it with a nice, happy video. Warning: It contains highly propagandic content and is overtly cheery, so emo people, steer clear! Don't say I didn't warn you!
Haha! Hope you guys enjoyed these clips cus' I did (more than enjoyed really). :D Stay nice and cheery fellas! Oh do remember to keep warm too, weather's been rainy lately. Hmmm where'd the sun go?
Well, Smelly's been umm trying to be hardworking lately. Picked up books from the library, haven't officially started reading them. I kinda glanced at their covers. Does that count? o_o?
Ok, movin' on, yeah I'm gonna have to complete an assignment by tomorrow, it's like a short-answer response to any novel so I guess I'll be able to complete it and hand it up in Thursday. I hope the Prof doesn't ask me funny questions. Hmmm...
So yeah I've known a couple more seniors in school so it's cool. Though we're NOT sure if we're cool about the 1 hour extension this Friday for 307. Damn! I'm not gonna take a certain Prof's mod again. Ever!
Hmm okay school stuff aside. I have been watching videos of this guy, KevJumba (the 4th All-time favorite comedian) on YouTube. He's firetruckin' hilarious! You guys gotta go check him out! Here's one of my favorite videos, things start to get more interesting at as Kevin and his friend HappySlip does an re-enactment of his mother teaching him how to drive a manual car at 02:17. Have a LOL-ing good time fellas! Oh and if you guys wanna see more of his vids, click on his username and subscribe to his channel or somethin', more vids there, so yeah.
Smelly lost her mobile. Again. Shall not go on to describe how pissed I was at myself for losing it twice, ummm technically, thrice. Lost my mobile for the first time when we went to shoot some hoops at the basketball court, I actually left it at the foot of the goal post (is it called a goal post!?!) cus' I didn't think anybody'd wanna steal my mobile which's helluva lousy in my honest opinion, I can still remember its model, a Nokia 3315. Lookin' back, I seriously think I was a DUMBASS. Haha! But the people at the court were great, borrowed their mobile and I'd to keep calling my own number, which really felt stupid. Of course, it was "lost and gone forever, dreadful sorry Clementine my handphone~".
Second time I lost it, was at Vietnam. And Bobo should know very well how I reacted to that. :D
And now this. I realised I almost always lose my mobile when I'm on my way BACK home. Was on my way back home with Nana, and I think I lost it on SBS 88. I'm not 100% sure tho'. I'd filed a report of loss to SBS and the Police. But I'm not too confident I'll get it back. Ever. Hahaha oh well, lesson learnt. Now I'm gonna move on. Gonna get a new mobile tomorrow (?) I guess. Gotta top up $100 tho' since my plan's just barely 8 mths old. :( I'm gonna pay for it myself, I don't wanna my parents to take it up since it's all my fault. Haha I hope I learnt my lesson!
The Good.
Now for the good. We celebrated Yu's 21st at Costa Sands, Pasir Ris! It was pretty darned good! No... it was way better than pretty darned good! I reached there a lil' later, nearing 7pm. We played Dai Dee a.k.a Big Brother 2, I think we played more than 10 rounds and I lost EVERY round of it. I just threw out whatever cards I could and Yu's friend called me a 'robot'. :( Haha but I wised up later and ummm didn't 'spoil the market'. :D
The cake-cutting part was supa funny! When Yu's mum got the cake outta the box, our jaws dropped. Literally. Cus' there's NO cream in her cake, or on her cake. O_O How the hell are we gonna sabo her!?! Hahaha thankfully for our quick-thinking Bobo, we went to borrow a pair of scissors and cut up the golden ribbon thingy. Each of us had a handful of umm hand-made 'confetti'. We asked Yu to take a group shot with us, when Yu's lookin' into the cam, raised our hands and showered her with confetti. Hahaha and Yu was calm throughout the entire thing. U_U" Haha which made it even funnier in retrospect.
Hahaha and Yu's cousin Zhiyang! Was playing Dai Dee then he came up to me and talked to me, but I couldn't understand what he's saying. Lol Moldy said he called the 3 of them 'noisy girls'. Hahaha! And he went around making new 'best' friends. When Yu's friend ask her who's birthday was it today, he told him he didn't know. Lol! Very cute. His sister's super cute too, kept hanging around the buffet area with the 'blur' look on her face.
Got her to poke balloons with some goodies stuffed inside beforehand (credits to Nana!). Haha I LOL-ed at that part, cus' it was like some Pu Wei variety show where contestants had to poke balloons or guess which of them has the big prize. Lol! And I was screamin' "Guess which of 'em has $8888". Hahaha it was super fun.
We chat all night, and time passed super fast. Haha oh yeah there were lotsa funny shows in the wee hours of the morning on Ch 8, like old, reaaally old period dramas! And we helped Yu to finish up on the 2 bottles of wine. :D
I had a blast at Yu's 21st! And I'm certain Yu had lotsa fun too though she wasn't feeling well and all. Yu! I wanna wish you a Happy 21st again! ;)

Long Overdue Haircut. Bimbo Alert. (Don't say I didn't warn you :D)
Yep and so Nut accompanied Smelly to get a long overdue haircut. Yeah you guys must be going "Finally!". Haha! I settled for a neighborhood hair salon. I love getting my hair cut at neighborhood salons sometimes, people seem more friendly and approachable. Haha! Yup and I cam out walking clean and neat. The lady who cut my hair's really friendly. Halfway into my haircut, this male stylist actually turned on Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber, and I imagined the lady slicing my throat with a razor blade like Johnny Depp. Lol. I won't mind getting sliced by Johnny Depp though. Hahaha! But I felt playing Sweeney Todd in a hairsalon's oh-so-apt, don't you think? ;p Best part is, I got my haircut for only... $9!
Heh. Cus' I lied about my age. When I went to the counter to make my payment, she asked me how old I was so I replied her "I'm 18 years old", WITHOUT batting an eyelid. Lol! But I kinda fidgeted a little. HAHA! Luckily she didn't suspect anything. Might cheap lor $9! :D
LIVERPOOL 4-0 WEST HAM (warning: bimbo alert)
TORRES IS SO DARNED HOT!!! I finally got it off my chest. :D
I have always tried to refrain from going gaga publicly about how hot footballers looked, cus' I don't wanna be labelled a soccer bimbo. Haha. You know how guy friends always tease you for being a bimbo and ACCUSING you of watching footie simply cus' you wanna see hot, sweaty footballers? Get my drift? *you nod approvingly* Yeah, sure you do. Well, except for that time in secondary school, where I kept going gaga over Michael Owen (back when he still dons a red shirt), and I even kept his picture in my file (A4-sized). Lol! Thankfully, Xinyi and Charmaine accompanied me through the craze. So I'll be pretty sad if Newcastle gets relegated, they're already hovering 3 points beyond the relegation zone. Sighs. Newcastle is a classic case (and reminder) of how even a big team can go downhill to this extent. Newcastle had their heyday too y'know, back then it was HUGE and one of the more 'fashionable' clubs to support. I hope Keegan gets the team back on firm standing again. *fingers crossed*
Ok ok back to Torres. He scored his 3rd hat-trick in his debut season! He's not just hot, he's red hot! Haha pun intended. Robert Green's reaction after he knocked in 2 goals was super funny. And poor Carragher, he got so many chances of scoring buthe simply can't finish the job. Lol which makes it funnier. XD Stevie our Super Captain bagged a goal, and it's 4-0 to LIVERPOOL! And yep we're back at 4th place on the table. :D Somebody get Everton off our backs!
Hope Maschie's fine :)

, 12:16 PM
Woke up bright and early today. :D Forced myself to get up at around 8am, so as to slowly ease my body clock back to normal school-going time since the recess week's rocketed by. Sigh. Time always seems to run faster when you're having fun or doing nothing in particular. Haha I can bear testament to that all right.
Bolton 1-3 Liverpool. Hurray! \o/
Had predicted earlier in my Liverpool guild (in-game :D and yes you heard right, a Liverpool guild) 1-3(A) win to Liverpool. We have this little prediction league thingy in our guild, and at the end of the season whoever takes 1st, 2nd or 3rd position of the table wins prizes like in-game money and equips, scrolls and whatnot. Haha! I got 3 consecutive predictions correct (in footie we call it a hat-trick lol). Should dabble at soccer betting? Haha nah, shan't taint the beautiful game, eh? XP
Overall, I think we did pretty well considering that we were evenly matched most of the time. Bolton's pulled off quite a few scares on us, one of which Gerrard saved us from by clearing it away right on the line of goal. Phew! Our first goal came from Stevie (Bolton's GK own goal but it's Stevie's goal IMO :D) 10 mins into the 1st half. Ryan Babel squares (lobs) it to Stevie, he shoots, the GK stretched out and attempts to save, but it spins off his wrist, sending the ball rolling comfortably into the net. Snatched Stevie's credit! Lol! The 2nd goal came at the 59", when Kuyt nearly scores but it deflects off the goal post, Babel picks it up and scores, Liverpool up with a 2-0 lead!!! And he seals it with a back flip. Lol. Nice one Babel! And the final goal of the day from us came from a set piece! :DD Awesome volley into the top right corner of the net by Aurelio, contains it well by chesting it down, aims and shoots. And it's 3-0 to Liverpool!!!! Bolton resisted until the very end though, and Cohen finally scores a header, and it's Bolton 1, Liverpool 3. :D
Torres looked kinda sian last night though. Wondered why Rafa put Carra at right back though, I'd much prefer him at centre-back, at least our def'll look a lot more solid that way. Our def didn't look too convincing last night, Hyypia are you listening? Haha I keep getting this feeling that Hyypia's aspiring to be a striker these days.
Other than some minor mistakes here and there, and ignoring the fact that we lost possession quite a few times last night (though we somehow always manages to win it back before it becomes a threat), I'd say we're looking pretty good to make it to the top 4. Finger crossed!
Kudos to Bolton's presistence though, they exerted pressure on us throughout the entire game. I liked Gardner, especially! :D
Go Reds! Ynwa!
Ah Shing's Breakthrough Concert Live 2008 :D
So, what have I been up to? Heh went down to NUS campus (Law fac) for Ah Shing's Breakthrough (A Temasek Hall Dance Production) 'concert' on the 29th Feb, omg which happens to be a leap year! Not that it impacted me in any way, really. Lol. Scheduled to meet at the Commonwealth train station @6.40pm. I seriously thought I'd be late! Somehow the train ride to Jurong East and beyond seems shorter and shorter. We went around Commonwealth (I NEVER knew there was a Commonwealth TRAIN STATION!) to look for nice flowers, eventually found a shop selling flowers (not a legitimate florist), but the rose petals looked and felt shrivelly dry. So Shimmy was assigned the flower girl, but she couldn't make it in time as she had to stay on at NTU for the release of results for a TKD competition (our little shimmy buttie got some nice bling, silver medal! Grats! :D). But no matter right Ah Shing? Cus' we're the most bloomalicious flowers you can ever have, AND we never go bad too. Haha!
We had no idea where the bus-stop (for 153) was so we decided to cab down instead. The Law Fac campus was might ulu! There were lotsa forested areas on both sides of the road. Dropped off somewhere and walkedtrekked to the venue. Before we know it, night has already crept up on us, and you never know where a certain Mas Selamat might be limpinglurking. Haha talk about risking your life for your bosom buttie! XD The environment kinda reminded me of a certain part of Sentosa, the ulu part where the chalets are located. Eventually, we touched down at the auditorium safe and sound. :D
The audi wasn't as bad as Ah Shing had warned us initially! It's classy and really spacious. Too bad about the no-refreshments part though. Lol. I wonder who did the lighting that day cus' the lights didn't dim to signal the start of the performance, it simply went out. Hahaha and the audience went Woooo. U_U" We never really ever grow up, do we? Lol. We were busy playing Spot-A-Shing, haha now she's our official dancing diva. The music was awesome, the dance weaved seamlessly with the music. Haha your efforts have paid off buttie, we're really, really proud of you =,). You razzled, dazzled, and even made us go crazy when you did a 1-2 move with a, I quote "very hot guy!!!" (Zlink). Hahaha talk about burning the dance floor, it was getting preeetty hot. XD I loved the dance, the music, the lighting (the dark silhouettes of the dancers against the colored lighting while darkness engulfed the entire audi totally sets the mood!!) and the 2 funny emcees (Sian and I forgot what's the other guy's names) were mighty entertaining, not forgetting 'Britney Bitch'. Lol. Gotta teach us some moves next time!
Aunty Lum's 21st!
Celebrated my favorite 'aunty', Aunty Lum's 21st birthday on the 1st March! Haha I went there straight due to... unforseen circumstances (haha!). Had lotsa fun wading around in the pool, I wanna do the slide again, again! The company was great that night (saw some of my colleagues!! :D), played a lot, ate a little (amazingly or not so amazingly considering what I ate before going down :D), drank a little (out with the vodka, gimme me Long Islands or bring on the Bailey's!).
Aunty Lum's expression was super funny and cute when she 'excavated' the cake and found treasure inside it, hahaha hope she likes our present to her! It was super fun watching and watching people film the entire process. XD Not long after that, we hatched a plan to umm spsice things up a lil'. :D*. We planned a cream attack on her. Bobo secretly dug out portion of cream from the 'excavated' cake and we asked the unsuspecting victim to take a group shot with all of us. As soon as she posed for the cam, we went berserk, and swipe cream on Aunty Lum's face. Lol amidst the frenzy, I didn't manage to get a hand into things, ran to Aunty Lum and showed her the sticky gob of cream on my finger, she counter attacked, luckily Smelly has neat reflexes, did a sharp turn and a few stepovers (Lol. Nah kidding, no stepovers XD) to make my escape. Lo and behold! I dropped my gob of cream on the floor. Game over. T_T Have you ever seen a worse saboteur? Hahaha. The funniest part was HY's dad (he took our group pic when we ambushed HY) asked us "What happened?" when we 'attacked' the birthday girl. Lol!
Took some more peektures, had cakes (Bobo's mum's home-baked cake which tasted like Ji Dan Gao, mighty yum with the milo dusted cream! And yummy yummy choco cake with rum!). Then some of us decided to ambush her AGAIN. The previous time was a land attack, this time they wanted to do a 'sea' attack. So we (innocent bystanders) could only watch as they grabbed her and carried her to the pool. Lol!
Then the security guard came over and told us to shush up a little. XD HY carried the vodka, soda, coke, lychee drinks down for us so we can have a drink or two at the 'island'. Later moved base indoors to her house instead. The vodka smelt like nail varnish! Hahaha and it tasted really bad when you mix it with a little soda. Should've mixed it with the lychee drink instead. Lychee vodka on the rocks sounds nice to me. Haha! Choya tastes so much better than Swedish vodka IMO! :D Finally rounded things up and lucky us managed to catch the last bus home! Phew. The cab fare, shudders. XD Am glad HY had a blast as much as we did!
Happy 21st Aunty Lum! F21! XD
P.S. send me peektures butties! :D
