Updates

Stopped blogging for 2 weeks cos I was contemplating the idea of getting a thumbdrive so that I can write this at work (while slacking) and then bring it back home to upload (no net connection at work). Tried using floppy disk but it failed me.

Went to SL square with dear to buy her mp3 player yesterday. (No I din pay for it, though I really wanted to get her one as her present. Too bad, gotta think of something else now) Well, I din get my thumbdrive. Still considering whether to get an mp3 player instead. (No dear, dun ever buy this for me. Its way beyond the budget I had set for you)

Here are the updates of what has happened for the past 2 weeks.

Rugby
Lost at the quarters to Hall 6 by a score line of 5-0 (just one trial was scored).
Should have won this, we had plenty of good breaks, but just that somehow we din have the luck. I had a knock-on when I was clear thru and just 5m off the try-line. The backs had many good runs but just couldn’t get past the final man.
I was confident of scoring a drop kick from open play that day, if I had the chance. Too bad the circumstances didn’t allow me to try it. (1 dropped goal = 3 points, and we were trailing, so no chance)
But too bad the off-field incidents overshadowed the game. Shouldn’t dwell on it any further, enough has been said on the hall forum and I had already made my point known to all.
Although I planned to retire after this year, somehow I still feel something’s lacking.

IA
Its my 2nd week into attachment already. Getting a bit monotonous and boring with the lab work and reading up. Hopefully things will pick up and I’ll get more fun stuff to work with. Otherwise this 6 months would be a drudgery for me were I to continue doing what I’m doing now.

Basketball
Supposed to have 3 sessions of basketball this week. 1 at bishan and 2 at my place. In the end it was all crap.
Missed the bishan session on Thursday cos dad’s van went for servicing and he wanted to use bro’s car so we ended up with no transport, thus no basketball to play.
Played at TP on Saturday morning with bro, choo ter and ivan. Think we only played about 15 mins before it started to drizzle and exercise was cut.
Supposed to have Adrian n Jsheng join us on Sunday session, but Jsheng wanted to stay at home and Adrian was sick. Plus there were too many kids playing at the court, so we ended up going for dim sum without any action.
SO BORED!!! No basketball = No life….

Movies
Watched “The Aviator” with dear at Bugis Junction yesterday. Pretty long (3 hrs) and cheem show. Maybe its not really that cheem, just that they use a lot of American terms which neither me nor dear could understand. Cannot really figure out what the show is trying to convey too. Maybe I watched too many simple comedies at the cinemas, and went into this show with the wrong mindset. Hmmm, should have watched “My Brother” with dear instead.

Crap…
Bought a spoof Nintendo set last weekend at just $28. just to relive the good old days through playing those old games ( battle city, Mario 2, contra, etc) Pretty nostalgic huh.
Really missed those times when games were simple pure fun. No story lines or fancy complex gameplay. Just shoot the guy infront or stomp on those creatures’ top. Simple and little addiction too since there’s no need to spend many hours just trying to complete a game.

Dear
Had a pretty happy weekend (discounting the lack of basketball) with dear. Went ‘shopping’ and caught a show at bugis on Saturday. Went for prata at our fave haunt and a slow romantic walk at lower pierce reservoir. Nice weekend spent!
Sorry dear, for my lousy ‘stamina’ at shopping
