Electrico is AMAZING LIVE! My second time watching them perform at a gig and they were as brilliant as ever. I'm a fan, i tell you. The lead singer's voice is absoutely amazing. Its so damn unique -mix of rasp and sultry, and he never went off pitch once at all during the gig! I'm in awe. Pure talent in its raw form.
Me yarn mavis jules and co went for the concert thingy today at Fort Canning, we sat there for hours and our asses hurt. But for electrico it was worth it. The rest of the bands were alright, Rafe was pretty damn good, saw them perform at cine previously too, and so was EAC. i think they have a fucking good taste in music - U2 and Dave Matthews Band covers WOOO WHEE! Excellent. But the rest were kinda forgettable. Especially one which i wish so damn hard to forget. That fuckin Ronin band OMG PLEASE GO BACK TO HELL. You think you're so cool using the work "fuck" like its free in public on the mike, and that its cool to gyrate your skinny ass on stage and to scream and scream and scream and to talk nonsense about killing your mother and sister and wtf and having so damn lousy music lyrics like "i used to love her but i had to kill her" or some fuck like that. Your song wasnt funny. Your band music was nice actually. Your screaming wasnt. Your attitude stunk and all of us honestly wanted to throw you out of there. We were so GLAD when you sang your last damn song.
Anyway so we had some good bands and some not so good ones. But overall, with the ticket money going to charity, it was all good. Not complaining about anything else!
Today for the div 2 game, we won 5-0. i played pretty badly in the first half... maybe wasnt used to the team or something, or maybe still pmsing. But anyway i was so damn embarrassed when i tried to do some skillwork and it didnt work out hahhaa. But luckily the second half was much better! So it was all good. The team's really good! Mr nordin did a really great job with everything ^-^ So proud of him. And so grateful for him. i wouldnt be the player i am today if not for him. He taught us everything, not only how to drible or how to hit, but also the complexes of the game and most importantly, the MORALS of the game. Morals above Medals. That is how we life by crescent hockey. i cant wait for div 1 to start. It looks so damn exciting... Today saw abit of the Chenab vs Jasenites men's premier league... SO HIONG SO WOW. Impressed and motivated!
i believe NJ hockey will be strong. We will face up to all the difficulties - both on pitch and off, both pressures from ourselves, our coach and teachers, and the whole fucking school. We will work hard to show that we can do it, when everyone else said "hockey is nothing". We will show how much we've bonded and worked together to achieve what we will achieve. And to each and every player who had shown love for hockey, i am so damn proud of each and every one of you.
The best reward i get when i take the girls is the little things. After i teach them something new and use all my breath until i'm completely winded, when they managed to understand and actively learn, it makes me so so happy and i know that my effort is all worth it. When i try to show myself to be a leader, and when the team comes and shows me that its done as a TEAM, i am so damn proud. Like that time i ran after ruebi, i think... she had 2 extra rounds and had to run alone. So i joined her for encouragement to her. But when the entire team followed suit and ran after the both of us, i couldnt help but tear. Honestly it was the most touching moments i've ever had in nj. The idea that every one of you wanted to come down and suffer together was only what a leader could dream of achieving. And you all showed that to me without my doing anything.
I've learnt so much from the girls. So much they have no idea. Yes, sometimes i get angry with you girls and i shout. But you all know that i love you all dearly. I'll fight to protect every one of you. You've taught me more than just being a leader. You've taught me to be a person - compassion, respect, determination and love. And i'm so lucky to know such a wonderful team. i will try to spread what i've learnt in little everyday things with other people, in hope that they can understand and learn too :) Because only good and come out from this!

i have zero incentive to go online now cos my speakers are DEAD. D-E-E-D UNDERSTAND. How the fuck am i supposed to melt to the sounds of Pete Murray or to my slurpilicious JEW or U2 and The Thrills. I'm so angry with my kugu computer. I'M STARVING FOR MUSIC. FEEEED ME DAMMIT.
Anyway later we're going to celebrate shanna's birthday!! Whee... i heart shanna. Happy birthday my dear giraffe. i'll do the neck greeting when i see you. Quite long never catch up with all them crazy hockers. And 2c3-ians too, for that matter. Miss you all like mad. Mad mad mad fad cad dad tad bad.
Got a game tomorrow, playing for cres in division two... i so hope i'm on-form tomorrow!!! OMG i was so fucking off today. Completely utterly no form. Very disgusted with myself. i blame it on the period, anyhow. But still my fault. So tomorrow i want to play well, and not disappoint anyone including myself. Muacks to hockey. What ever would i do without you??
Today i brought my doggie for a run after i came home from holland village with huijia and huiee... Ran with my sis too. Hahaha my doggie was so damn CUTE when she's completely EXHAUSTED. Just PLOPED herself flat on the floor when she got back, panting away her fat stomach heaving up and down, and the amount of drool and saliva just oozing from her open jaws could flood the Savannah. My sweetheart in all her glory of being herself.
Today the three of us were talking about boys and relationships. Why is it that the guys we date all seem to have an inherent problem?! Is it just us?! But we assured ourselves otherwise... i think perhaps we're just being realistic. Its not that we're picky, i prefer to see it that others are more forgiving and overlooking. But i dont see the cogency in that. Because there is none. Because all you end up with is a failed relationship, and a tired mind and heart. You put in all your effort into that and it comes up short. Despite the fact that all along, you had it in the back of your mind that its not gonna work out. We're saving ourselves (and the guys) the heartache, and we're shortening our list of "failed relationships". Thats why mine is still at zero. And my list of successful relationships is also at zero. But that doesnt make me any less happy or any less experienced. I'd like to think that what we're doing is a good way of handling such issues. That just simply throwing yourself into a relationship and hoping that the straws you clutch at will magically transform into a lifesaving boat is not the right way to go. I'd rather not that that initial plunge, and save myself from getting wet and struggling. At least on my island, i have my loved ones with me.

Huijia just came over to my place to spend the afternoon... WHEEE what a great way to enjoy the ending of the common tests!! Hahaha we no date la bo pian. Anyway we watched sex and the city, saw hot hot aidan which made me drool, then just lazed around, really. We enjoyed doing nothing. Ahh, the wonderful past time of hobos, the jobless and freeloaders.
Feeling pretty good right now, although i'm going to receive the worst math result EVER in my life so far in n-bloody-jc. But other than studies, been doing great. My dog's fit even though shes got into a couple of fights on the past few walks, and even though Hallo died (and i'm SO SO SORRY to junesy babylish!!) :( and even though we're doing without a maid and its cool cos we're all helping out with chores and everyone is so much more independent, and i just got a new book Catch-22 (FINALLY~), and gave my rusty blog a new coat of paint, and looking forward to the tourny in a months time, and got my new mp3 player which i painstakingly saved up for, and me and my 2 sis are gonna catch the spongebob movie this weekend, and my x-ray results which are gonna show that i dont have tuberculosis cos i'm not coughing or anything, and siewee's gonna be fine and come back to school (YAY), and overall life is wonderful :)
Appreciate the simpler things, dont need to ask for much :)

'The reason death sticks so closely to life isn't biological necessity - it's envy. Life is so beautiful that death has fallen in love with it, a jealous, possessive love that grabs at what it can. But life leaps over oblivion lightly, losing only a thing or two of no importance, and gloom is but the passing of a shadow of a cloud.'
--Abstract from "Life of Pi" by Yann Martel

Looks like my blog is kinda dead.
Really havent had time at all to log on and reflect on whats been happening... Which on one hand, may be seen as a sad waste, but on the other; i heave a sigh of relief just thinking of all the rubbish i could have posted.
I've just finished reading Life of Pi... Oh my. Oh my my... it left me breathless. i liked the beginning and ending, i loved the author's early thought processes on religion, and i liked the grim twist at the ending. Reaaad it! (i dont have anyone to discuss the book with :( ) Now i'm on the Lord of the Flies by William Gooding, if i'm not mistaken... Different kind of read. Different style of writing but riveting all the same.
Okay i'm going off to bed. Will try to finish Lord of the Flies soon... My next target is Catch-22. Been trying to get it for ages but somehow borders didnt carry it the last time i checked. Oh well.
