Anger management

 

Once in a while, I’ll pick up the papers if I happen to be near a newspaper vendor. Today is just one of those days. First, I turned the last pages where I read the Olympic news. The Cuban guy (Angel Matos) rocks!:P Alright, maybe he over reacted. But when I turned to the 2nd page, guess who over reacted?

 

I guess most of you have already heard of how the team manager of our table tennis team got “sacked” (even before he touch down on home soil). Only after the team won a medal from the games. If anything, it reminds me of how Andrés Escobar was executed on his homecoming after an own goal during World Cup. Welcome to the cruel world of sports. In our country, where firearms are outlawed, we use “universal rounds”. Some people seem to have more firepower than others. And how timely, right before the celebrations.

 

Imagine her telling the Cuban guy, “your time is up, you are out”.

Dominic and Jade

 

Weeks before the wedding, I met up with Dom and Jade at Iguana Cafe. I don’t remember discussing alot about wedding stuff (5mins max). Instead, we talk ALOT about diving. End of the day, the only thing about the wedding that I probably remember was there will be Mcdonalds for breakfast:D

 

The couple and their bunch of friends are really funny. I was “invited” up the room after the dinner to “document” some “room games”. Took me a little while to get them censored. Not very familiar with that mosiac tool:P *LOL*

 

You’ve probably seen alot of “rings anywhere” shots. How about this one?:D

Chill out at Clarke Quay

 

Today we decided to head down to Clarke Quay for a few drinks. I can’t remember when was the last time I drank in such a crowded and noisy place:P My friend told me the live band was good, and we weren’t disappointed. Some little observations thoughout the night…

 

1) There is a queue because people have to order drinks before they can get in. And some dumb people in front of me took 10mins to order 1 drink.

 

2) The dirty old men who pounce (yes, I see where your hands are) on the young girls selling shots. Hard earned money man…

 

3) The lady in front of us that spilled my drink and didn’t even apologize. Just say sorry, I won’t eat you up.

 

4) That guy who danced like a maniac in front of us. Man… he didn’t know all eyes were on him:P We thought he was in an Olympic boxing match.

 

Oh, and I caught a little of the fireworks while waiting in the queue:D Seems like Clarke Quay is a good place to catch them. We also caught the 4x100m relay where the Jamaican team broke the world record. Man… they are FAST!!!

I’m full of…

 

I weigh myself earlier and the scale displayed a whooping 67.x Kg!!! I’ve never felt so heavy before. Took a crap after that and weigh myself again. 65Kg. I must be eating gold. No, the toilet bowl isn’t choked. Ok, time to lose some weight, fat-barrel!:D

Miaoling and SK

 

This is the wedding where “they got” the Black Knights to perform during the ring exchange:D The ceremony was held at Burkill Hall (Botanic Gardens). Lighting was good until the Pastor decided to talk a little longer than usual. But because of his slightly longer than usual speech, he hit the right timing, with the Black Knights forming a heart shaped formation right after the kiss. *they didn’t see my hiding away my walkie talkie*:P

Fixing and broken… harddisk

 

Those on facebook probably know that I was fixing a broken harddisk yesterday. After buying two new ones yesterday, the old one got a little jealous and threw a fit. So I retired her temporarily till I find a better solution. The result? I lost a couple of week’s worth of emails and some invoices. From this experience I realized a few things, backup more often and I’m really glad I’m running RAID on my image drives plus backup on DVDs.

 

In case you think you might have communicated with me through email and waiting for a reply, I hope you can just drop me another mail. Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Spanking new room!:D

 

Before today, it looks like as if Achmed was here. Now, it’s like super duper clean and tidy!:D I’m talking about my room, my workspace. Now I FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL good!:D

 

This 7th month is doing me some good (minus those pesky traffic summons). Jeremy told me there’s a good deal on the Slingshot boards. I’m going to try them out sometime this week. If it’s all good, I’m going to finally own my own wakeboard!:D

 

Bought additional harddrives for my external storage box. Borrowed some books from the library (one of the most underused national resource imho). Tuned up my exercise regimes. Looking good. We’re set for the next season!:D

 

Alritie, let’s plan some BBQ first.
