Recently I felt a little tired of watching those intellectual shows. Just so freaking tired of thinking now. Other then Inception which I had watched, I've no interest in watching any other intellectual type of shows for the moment. Glee was a pretty light-hearted US drama series. It should be similar to High School Musical type of show. Funny and full of music and songs~ Pretty cool. It's interesting to watch how the teacher-in-charge and members of Glee club fight to make their club survives and shines. Shall follow the other episodes if I got the time.
6 days of ICT starting tomorrow. After getting used to my new phone, seriously I don't feel like changing back my old one. I could listen to the radio and music, take photos, watch videos, surf web and play games... Wah~ 6 days without it is... Sad. But anyway, it's good to stay away from radiation once in a while. But I think I'll still need to use my mobile during ICT. Sigh~
Hope I can complete this training safe and sound. I should be back on the 30th or 31st. So reluctant to let anyone see my ugly short hair right now, but oh well, just another image...
Gotta stop my FB games, gotta stop my plurks for a week. Hm... Maybe I could sms to my plurk/twitter but I won't be able to response. Sian.
Soccer Update:
Today is a sunny Sunday!! After weeks of rainy days, it finally shone brightly on this Sunday morning. Finally got a chance to run freely on a dry hard ground. Well, although today's dry, it didn't mean that I'd be at my best form. True indeed, today's performance could only be summed up as average. Probably failing to put the ball into the goal in many occasions simply made me felt that today's performance wasn't good enough.
Goal(s) Scored: 1. (*Not good enough*)

Don't Worry. Be Happy.
Nothing really interesting to post about.
INCEPTION is really a good movie. Dream within dream, level below level. Freaking deep. They just adopted the "confuse-you-confuse-you" method, then gradually unveiled the stories behind. Gave the audience the 'woo~ I see...' followed by a 'wah' feeling. Like the concepts within, very fresh idea of manipulating dreams... Accompanied with some of the visual effects~ Usually I only saw them like on paper those eye illusion effects, and they made it such that it looked so real! Pretty cool. Worth the 2 hour plus of entertainment.
Recently been playing and playing with applications in FB. Farmville, Frontierville, EA Sports FIFA Superstars... Wonder how long would I keep this up...? Think I'm starting to get bored already. Need to find some other entertainments. Fullmetal Alchemists ended means 1 anime down. 星光傳奇賽 also not so nice. And worst, now is the no soccer matches period, they're having friendlies and not many are widely broadcasted~ Damn damn sian.
Don't like the current work progress. It's as always.... slow. And I dread the fact that it's not within my control. I need a longer break! Argh~
Recently Mum's been very bothered by menopause... Entering depression... What can I do? Tell me... Mum? Don't give in... Please don't. Let's walk through this together. We'll bring you out... I promise. Don't do anything silly for now. Bear with me...
Just like to rant in this virtual space. Feel slightly better after throwing some thoughts of mine here. =)
Soccer Update:
Today's session was difficult. Light drizzle marred our game. The constant restrain of force to maintain balance prevented our freedom of runs. That was damaging to our feet. I could feel strains at different parts of my legs after some time. That would also bring about the reason for my poor performance. To be frank, it's not my worst still. But plenty of glaring mis-passes, mis-shots simply pulled my morale down. Despite that I didn't give up and eventually added some decent goals and assists to my overall performance. Fair play I guess.
Goal(s) Scored: >2. *Weekly Target Achieved*

Working is Boring
Started work again. Same employer, different office, same scope, same bloody slow pace, different lunch hangout group... I missed my other interns~~ First week still ok with another intern which extended as well. And for the next 2 weeks I'll be either eating lunch alone or join the other perm engineers... Sad. After that, I'll be going for my ICT for a week. Then back to work all the way until 27th August, 3 days before school opening... Sian. Better let me finish this project asap. So that I can take a longer break before taking on my final year.
So 2010 FIFA World Cup is finally coming to an end. With 2 new teams which have never won any World Cup before, Spain and Netherlands, who will add their names into the hall of fame of World Cup Champions? None of them are my supporting teams, so whoever wins I also don't care. Haha. I'll be staying up to watch it LIVE~ Better show some fighting effort and spice up the game! Go for it~ I wanna see a more attractive football!!
Soccer Update:
No soccer again!! Where's the soccer fever, dudes? Damn. Yeah, too bad, miss another weekend without proper match practice...

Birthday Week, Phuket Trip, Welcome 25!
Happy Birthday to me!! Yup yup~ It's my Birthday Week!! \(^o^)/
Hm... Spent whole day at home on my birthday after just came back from Phuket. It was pretty fun there~ Except for the annoying rain and mosquitoes there after... Have a little brief recap of what I've gone through there...
26th June 2010
Woke up around 0500 and moved out at 0545. Boarded bus 27 and reached Terminal 1 pretty on time as planned, 0645. Checked in and rushed to Terminal 2 for Mac breakfast. And when we rushed back, we saw the "Gate Closing" on the screen. Hurried to the gate with a stomach full of Sausage McMuffin with Egg~ Spent sometime on the air-con-less plane, thought it was normal though, since it was my first time on flight. It even went onto the runway but returned after realizing the plane air-con wasn't working --- it was blowing warm air... Later they decided to dispatch us back to the waiting area while they could try and fix the air-con. Just like that, our flight was delayed till 1330, then 1430, and finally 1555 was the last call and they found a new plane for us instead...
How did it feels to fly on an aeroplane? Hm... Ok lo~ It wasn't as thrilling as some ride from theme parks, but the views from the side windows were cool~ It went all the way up and burst through the clouds~ And then, all of a sudden below us, was the fluffy fluffy white clouds. It would be nice if I could stand on them~ Upon reaching the top, our ears also started to block by the pressure... By swallowing saliva would clear them for a while before they started getting blocked again.
After about 2 hours of flight, we finally landed on Phuket International Airport! It's quite obvious that Phuket is more poorer developed than Singapore just by looking at its airport. Much to my disappointment, thought with my new Vivaz pro, I could stay connected and update my family and friends wherever I go, but... to find free wi-fi network there seemed to be a hard task. From the airport, as there's car rental service, and it's calculated that it's more worth to rent a car than 2 bikes, thus, rented a car. The traffics there were complicated, and pretty dangerous. Plenty of slopes and meandering road. A little mis-concentration might just drive off the cliff... Luckily we didn't. If the roads could one day closed for F1 races, it would certainly be exciting. The roads' paint to separate the 2 directions were also faded off... Especially on those tricky meandering slopes... Freaking thrilling.
Our hotel, Patong Green Mountain Hotel was difficult to access. We went past a shortcut and went into a steep sloping path all the way up, then making a turn down and we finally found our hotel. Kind of eerie as it seemed like no other people staying there except us. And when we told the car rental keeper, the car owner and one tour agent, their first reaction was, "Huh, Patong Green Mountain?" Like they didn't know it exists... The hotel was also not marked on the map. Seemed like we made a bad choice eh? Nevertheless, if you're looking for a quiet environment away from the buzzing beach, Patong Green Mountain wasn't a bad choice. Their breakfasts were fulfilling. Ate their American Breakfast for 3 mornings~ It's like 3 sets of breakfast. Toasted bread, cereal and the scrambled egg with sausages/ham and bacon... Yummy.
After settling our stuffs in our rooms, we set off searching for dinner at Patong Beach. From the map it looked near, about 1 km away, but it's more like 2 km when we actually walked over. Finally decided to eat at a pub, forgot what's the pub name but they're really nice. Arranged the table specially for us to be directly in front of the projector screen to watch the soccer match! Tried their Grilled Chicken Fillet, the green pepper sauce was nice~ Had Banana Split but no more banana, so Mango Split for beverage. While eating a little girl popped out and hooked a floral necklace (don't know if there's any special name for it) around my neck, gave me a kiss on my cheek... and demanded 100 Thai Baht. Bargained and lost 60 baht just like that. Must watch out for these 'robbers' next time. Watched South Korean trailing by a goal to Uruguay, and as most of us not as interested in that match, we decided to make a move on the half-time break. On our way back, I noticed you can see FamilyMarts almost everywhere. It's like their Econ minimart. The first common shop I saw there would be the 7-Eleven. Went into a tour agency, booked a tour to Coral Island the next day for snorkeling and para-sailing, that's 1500 baht. Reached back hotel, and we ended our first day just like that. Thanks to the much much delayed flight...
27th June 2010
It rained in the early morning, but luckily it stopped while we set out for our trip to Coral Island. A special van fetched us from our hotel to Nikorn Marine and we took a speed boat there!
Tried snorkelling. The fins were so difficult to use! Hard to walk and hard to swim as well! My ankles hurt so much while wearing it. It felt so weird to breathe through the tube too. But after a while I did get used to it. Then we rented a kayak and we swam further out. To be frank there weren't much to see except for some small fishes. We actually wandered off the boundary and saw jellyfish! It was pinkish, purple and I only dared to look at it from the surface. Pretty big size too. I almost swam onto one of them. Wonder what will happen if I kena stung by it. We also tried para-sailing! I felt like a kite! Though it was rather short, about 1 min only, but it was so cool! Stayed until 1445 before we set off back to phuket and our hotel. Freaking exhausted and slightly burnt~
Tried to go somewhere to shop but most shops were closed on Sunday. For the remaining shops that were opened, nothing fascinated me to spend. We parked our car near the disappointing Phuket Shopping Center, and we went on feet to explore around the place. Ocean shopping area was much more decent.
Dinner was at The Pizza Company. Ate fried chicken with curry sauce. The curry sauce is made from Thai's special recipe and together with the chicken, it tasted pretty good. After that, we went to a pub for watching Germany vs England and didn't expect they closed at 2200 Thailand time. Came back hotel, and realised Germany hammered England 4 - 1.
28th June 2010
Day 3. It continued raining and today seemed like it's not stopping! Went shooting range and I tried a .22mm handgun with 10 bullets. It's the cheapest and I've always wanted to try using a handgun, finally got a chance. Slightly difficult to aim, it's quite disappointing that the people did not actually teach us the proper posture to shoot. 10 rounds, my shots went pretty wide.
Went Tesco Lotus, it's like their shopping mall. Had lunch at Santa fé Steak. Tried medium rare Ribeye steak~ Well, it was more cooked than it should be, had a hard time slicing and chewing it.
Went to Central Festival, tried my 'virgin' massage~ It was a painful experience. Kept myself awake throughout and some of the massaging techniques were torturous. Guess the lady could sense that I'm nervous, kept asking me if I'm ok. XD Bought a pair of shorts there for 17 SGD. Decent price.
29th June 2010, Final Day
Last day. It continued raining. Ate breakfast and prepared to check out. Went to go-kart but feeling too expensive and the other tourists didn't seemed to be having fun, we decided to give it up.
Passed by Shell museum, went in and explored, mostly are products made from seashells... Not really nice for my liking. Not really interesting there, we didn't spent 200 baht to go down further for the exhibition.
Long trip to Promthep Cape. Had a little hiking there. It's slightly dangerous but to get the view, it's worth it. I simply love the feeling when sea breeze just kept blowing at my face~ Standing on the rocks with only view of blue sea, green mountains, my mind at that time, felt peaceful...
Dinner back at Patong Beach. It's more of a better shopping area. Too bad we're rushing for time. Delicious Phad Thai for dinner and set off for airport.
Well, overall the things there weren't as cheap as it seemed. Cheaper by a few dollars perhaps. Something about the petrol there, our car, driven for days, and withstanding the tough slopes, the gauge never dropped. It remained full~ Being worried, we actually pumped in some, and realised it's supposed to drop but it actually still remained about half a tank or more. Not bad... Think the car's fuel efficiency is very good.
Reached back Singapore at around 1am. Shared cab home. That's the end of my short, short trip.

Soccer Update:
Our soccer session finally resumed despite the recent poor weather... It rained as usual, but it stopped for us!! You heard me! Thank you~ Enjoyed the long due session~ Ran as much as I could like a crazy dog~ But I want more!! Gotta wait another week again~ Argh~~
Goal(s) Scored: >3. * Weekly Target Achieved*
Today's finishing was pleasing... When you gain something, you lose something in return... How true. With good shooting technique today, my crossing technique dropped. Sigh~ I will keep on improving until I hang my boots...
