i just saw this on another blog.

Things will get worse before they get better.

my response is, that's the rationale behind glenn ong's suggestion that you eat a live frog every morning: you know the day's only going to get better, and when something bad happens, you know the worst is over.

will i ever be able to play right-footed again?

there is an aspect of life that i remain woefully ignorant of. whats sadder is that there's nothing i can do about it, at the moment.

should i smile more or should i appear pensive more often. should i think less and talk more, or should i speak less, think more.

i think i know what's killing my nose: chili. sometime during the holidays i woke up with my nose feeling clear and fine, and i decided to go eat bak chor mee for breakfast. i told the lady to put less chili, but i don't think she got me, for it felt like i added chili instead. my nose died after that for the rest of the day.

my runny nose had been steadily getting better through the course of the week, and by today it was nearly non-existent. but i had peranakan food for dinner, what with all the otah and the sambal kangkong and the rendang. cue massive sneezing and the free flow of bodily fluids through my nose.

i wanted to experiment by avoiding spicy food for the rest of the week, while eating spicy food for the whole of next week. but how can i do that when i'm going to eat wanton mee for breakfast tmr and going queensway on tuesday!

i stuffed myself with snacks in the past week in an attempt to fatten myself up a bit before my ns checkup. ie. i ate a whole pack of ruffles on thursday and lays on friday. the astonished look on the provision shop auntie's face was quite amazing: i never bought such stuff even in my preteens. i think it would be really sad if i got pes b for being underweight. when i mentioned this to my mother, she reminded me that what would be sadder would be to get pes b for high cholesterol.

19/50 for gp essay is simply (Y). enough said.

i'm so frustrated with my life but i guess there's no one who's able to say he's not. the extent varies, the reaction differs, but dissatisfaction in life is simply life. it's this very dissatisfaction that drives people to work and live isn't it, to push on in life and improve their lot. sounds a bit like a "greed is good" argument, but without all the capitalist and materialist connotations in this context. so in a way it makes sense that people ascend when they attend nirvana: there's simply no more point in life.

watching people 3-a-side in the nssl finals at toa payoh was laughable. the goalkeepers were in general a disappointment, with no one really looking like they know they can/are allowed to use their hands. positioning was poor too. the outfield play also resembled the neanderthal style of play. left-footed play left side, right footed play right side, so they constantly looked to beat their man on the outside, with the result being running themselves into the corner with no way to go. just brilliant. the only way they could score was when they had to play a right-footed player on the left due to the lack of lefties, and then he would be naturally inclined to cut back onto his stronger foot to realise that suddenly the goal seemed so big, which it was. either that, or very bad positioning by the defenders and the goalkeeper to allow the rightie on the right side the acute angle that is needed to shoot and score.

i would have played 4 v3, with the goalkeeper at the foot of the diamond, because in all honesty the goal area where the goalkeeper was allowed was quite long and wide, allowing more scope for movement for the diamond. this frees up one free man, which will either be the goalkeeper or one of the side players. oh and they don't screen too. which with such a big goal would have been very beneficial.

oh and i find erdong's emo pm(s) on msn disturbing and cheesy.

and look what i found under tournament rules and regulation for the nssl.

3. Smoking is not permitted around the pitch. Any participant caught flouting this rule is automatically disqualified from the tournament.

ok brain dead.
