long tiring day. but nevertheless i will blog. haha!

been awake rather late. around 10am plus. which is okay lah. not that late.

then was online till my dad called me to go to the redhill apartment which was being rented out. some stupid loanshark come splash paint on the door. the previous owner borrowed from loansharks and didn't pay up. super irritating people.

spend the afternoon scraping paint and repainting. then went for training direct. since queenstown and redhill is so close. haha. reach early(as usual), and there was no one. after waiting for 10 minutes finally someone came. haha! and giang hwee was sharing about a best-seller book she's reading while i was waiting. nice book you got there. if you know what i mean. =)

then had training, did two rounds around the field. had drills. then had a training match. not bad. rather fruitful day. then was so tired on the way home. took a bus with one of the team players to redhill mrt station then went home to ang mo kio from there. was dozing off on the way. haha! i'm so glad i didn't miss my stop.

then showered and had dinner when i reached home, and went online and type this post. haha!

tomorrow is holiday but i still need to go back to school for sec 2 adventure camp training. oh well. haha!

All Out Of Love - Air Supply

I'm lying alone with my head on the phone
Thinking of you till it hurts
I know you hurt too but what else can we do
Tormented and torn apart
I wish I could carry your smile and my heart
For times when my life feels so low
It would make me believe what tomorrow could bring
When today doesn't really know, doesn't really know

Chorus:
I 'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you
I know you were right believing for so long
I 'm all out of love, what am I without you
I can't be too late to say that I was so wrong

I want you to come back and carry me home
Away from this long lonely nights
I'm reaching for you, are you feeling it too
Does the feeling seem oh so right
And what would you say if I called on you now
And said that I can't hold on
There's no easy way, it gets harder each day
Please love me or I'll be gone, I'll be gone

Chorus

Oh, what are you thinking of?
What are you thinking of?
Oh, what are you thinking of?
What are you thinking of?

Chorus(3x)

i just don't know what i can do.

it seem like things are getting out of my control.

maybe it's time for me to let things go.

maybe. if only it was so easy.

i'm so disturbed over this.

but i guess maybe it's just me making myself feel that way.

i seriously think this is enough.

i shall try to get back to where i was before.

and start over again,

with the right choice.

brand new day. officially day 1 of september holidays. haha! was thinking of sleeping till 11am plus. end up my dad waked me up at 9.30am. cause he decided to go to the comex fair finally. so woke up and brushed my teeth, had breakfast, showered and went out. haha!

first went to plaza singapura to exchange the faulty digital set-up box or scv. went to exchange for a new one, there was no queue since it's a separate counter from the rest. luckily i was fast, the moment i reached, 4 people were behind me in the line. phew!

went to have lunch. then went to suntec for comex fair. and i was telling my dad everytime when we come for the second comex fair in the same year, we will definitely buy something home. so the first one was around march so this is the second one. went to see lots of stuff. was keeping an eye out for SE W980I. sadly, they don't have the phone on display there.

so went to other floors to see. was looking for my next target, acer extensa 5620-6A2G32Mn. it's a laptop which is quite huge and heavy but has a 2gb ram. so it's attractive. and also because it's only $999. haha!

in the end didn't buy that. bought new ink cartridges for my printer and 2 toshiba 4gb thumbdrive. i'm getting one and the other is for my dad's friend. and my dad's gonna use the 2gb thumbdrive he bought me like a week ago? haha! fine with me since i'm getting 4gb. twice better then 2gb. lol!

then went to toa payoh hdb hub. went to my aunt's shop there. her son sells handphones there. so went to get a screen protector and a crystal casing for my phone. only $3 for both since we're relatives. haha! then my dad was telling him about me wanting to get w980i. then he was saying to me,"that phone not bad. you know your stuff well." haha!

then homed to burn joss paper since it's the end of the lunar month i suppose? then watched channel u from 7.30pm to 9.30pm. watched the movie,"十万火急". was boring at first. got exciting nearing the end when they were trapped in a burning factory and had to escape out of the factory with 2 women they saved in a trapped lift and practically with no way out becasue the ceiling has fallen. exciting. haha!

that's about it today i suppose? haha!

hmm. it's never easy to keep things to yourself and occasionally you are definitely going to pop under the stress and pressure. so you can choose to ignore the last post as it's a way for me to let my stress go. okay, back to where i was yesterday.

went to singtel's and starhub's websites to check on the w980i. the price for both were around there. but since i'm a singtel user, i am able to get the phone at a cheap price if i sign that phone 18 to 21 months(at least that was i remembered) into my contract. so chances are i'm getting that if no other phones pop up during that period when my contract ends.

and been practically rotting at home. went to get a hair cut cause i need to take a photo of myself for my i/c. then was raining from late morning to around 2pm plus so decided to stay home and not go out to train or shop.

wanting to go to the comex fair at suntec. went for the one earlier this year with my dad and his friends. so if he's not intending to go, i might be heading down myself or something like that. i'll be there keeping an eye out for laptops with good specifications.

and didn't go back to primary school since my mother tongue teacher and my form teacher left the school already. also because not many of my primary school friends were going back due to the same reason.

i always have this thought during the holidays. how i wish there's school today. and during school terms, i will be wishing for the holidays. i bet you all feel the same way.

i'll be practically lying if i said i'm fine now.

things can't get any worse. maybe they can but i don't want to think about it.

escaping from reality? nope i'm not. if i were,i won't even bother typing this post.

things just don't go your way all the time. if they do, good for you.

the worse bit is thinking about something you dread to see happening and before you know it, it happens. is this a joke or what?

one thing's for sure. it's definitely not funny at all.

but i'm telling myself to just let it happen. and see what good or bad comes out of it.

after all, life's never perfect. if it was, there will be world peace, no violence, no oil crisis and so on...i can spend the whole day listing them and i still won't be done.

so i'll just pick myself up from where i fell and try to change things.

hopefully i'll succeed, if not, then it's alright. at least i can tell myself,

"i gave it all i got."

then had some oral conversation practice. then cause need do with someone of the opposite gender so i went to do with clara (crara if you pronounce it the mr toh way.)

then we were doing the conversation then decided to talk about her relatives' name. haha. it was so funny! she was saying one of her relative called mark mark. cause when filling out the birth cert, got the first name and last name. then her relative don't know is first and last time. so he think is for verification. so the first name write mark, then last name also. then i was laughing like mad. haha! then whenever mrs lau came over to see how we were doing, then we will pretend to be doing the conversation. haha!
