Its new year's eve today. My aunt took my grandma, my other aunt, my cousin, my niece and myself for lunch just now. Sorta like in celebration to the end of 2004. It was a great lunch, the food was great too ^^. I decided to stay in this time round. Not really in the mood to go out and celebrate. Im just gonna sit at home, in front of my PC, and have a little chat with some of my frens =). Pathetic huh? ^^;

Anyways, on with the programme! A new year is coming, and with that, its like, almost tradition to make a new year's resolution. But, I think Im gonna have to skip it this time round. Since I didnt fulfill any of my new year's resolution for the past 2 years, I think its a waste of time for me to make another one this time round. Im just gonna go through everyday of next year as it is, and take it in my stride. Though there will be times where I have to plan ahead, but lets worry about that later shall we?

Cant really believe that its gonna be a new year tomorrow. It hasnt sunk in yet, it just feels like time moved really fast. A few blinks of the eye, and a new year is upon us. Im gonna give it like, a week, before I can finally accept that 2005 has already begun lol. Well anyways, I just want to take this opportunity to wish each and everyone of you who frequently visit my blog, a very happy new year! Lets hope that year 2005 will be a fruitful and successful year for all of us =)

Ive been contemplating for a while, regarding my 'retirement' from football. The other day when I was at my fren's place for lunch, a couple of my frens were there as well. They asked me if I still played football. I told them that Im taking a break from it, since Ive had some complications the last time I played. They then told me that they play futsal every Friday nite, and invited me along the next time they have a session. Now this piece of information got me all excited.

I know I said before that I was gonna retire from football. But I also mentioned that Im gonna have one more game, a good one at that, before I hang up my shoes. So, wat Im gonna do, is have one more game with them, and I'll decide from there if I still wanna retire, or keep on playing. I was so motivated that I sent my shoe to the cobbler, and asked him to mend it for me. Now, I didnt use the shoes that I bought a few months back, coz those shoes are still 'hard', and it hurts my feet whenever I play in them. But with this shoe, I should be comfortable in it. It cost me 30 bucks tho (>_<). I dun mind, its gonna be worth it.

So, come next Friday, (not this week's Friday, they wanna celebrate new year's), I'll be playing football again. And it may or may not be my last game. Time will tell.

Its been a week since I resigned from my job. Its been a slow week for me, but Im getting the hang of it. Kinda peaceful, in a way. Am still looking for a new job, while I wait to further my studies. Hope I'll find one soon.

A friend of mine invited a bunch of my frens to his house for christmas tomorrow. Im gonna have some turkey, woohoo! Its been quite a while since I last had turkey. And since its christmas tomorrow, I wanna take this opportunity to wish you guys 'Merry Christmas'. Hope you guys have a smashing day.

My bro decided to clean up our room yesterday. I was against it actually, as that would mean having to move our beds to a different position, and also my pc. Currently the pc is on the floor, and Im quite comfortable with it on the floor, with the keyboard on my lap. Now, its on the table, and I might need some time adjusting to it =S

Somehow, I have a funny feeling that something not good is gonna happen to me in the near future. This is like, the first time Ive seen my bro this motivated. And usually, that will spell trouble for me. See, the reason why Im saying this is because he got engaged the other day. And seeing how he was so motivated to clean up our room, I cant help but to think that he is gonna ask his fiance to move in with him. Now, if she were to move in with him, where the hell am I gonna stay? He cant just kick me out of this room, this room also belongs to me. But knowing my bro, he'll definitely kick me out without giving any second thoughts! But I have to wait and see, whether the fiance is gonna move in or not. All I can do now is keep my fingers crossed that she wont be moving in.

We finished cleaning the room at around 5 sumthing in the morning. And since I had to wake up early after that, I decided to stay up. No point in me sleeping since I'll be getting back up so soon. So here I am now, still deprived of sleep. I want to crawl to my bed and just sleep, but somehow, I'll end up staying awake. Looks like I'll be having a long sleep later ;)

Oh yea, my aunt came down from another state for the holidays. She messaged me last nite, telling me she was here and would like to meet up with me. This particular aunt of mine really loves me, a lot ^^. She used to look after me when I was a kid, and shes still looking out for me even now. Im really grateful for it. Just now before saying my goodbyes to her, she hugged me and told me to take good care of myself, and to always try hard in watever it is that I'll be doin in the near future. Sigh, Im gonna miss that aunt of mine.

20th December 2004

Guess wat? Its Monday, and Im not working, woohoo!! Its been like, 6 months since I had Monday free. It feels so good to just sit back and relax on a Monday. No more goin thru traffic jams to get to work, no more entertaining customers, and no more work, for the time being that is. But still, I have no complaints about it, as Im enjoying my so-called break.

I really think I need to wear glasses now. But only for me to drive at nite when its raining! Sent my sis to her uni just now, it was raining, rather heavily. Now I made a post some time back about me having astigmatism, but it didnt affect me this much before. But last nite was totally different. I was only barely able to see the road ahead of me, but I had the car under control. Its just that, I had some trouble with my view ^^;

One of these days, I definitely need to get me glasses. I wonder how I'll look with glasses, prolly look weird. Meh, not gonna think about it any longer.

I went to the airport today, to send my parents off. There are going to UK for holidays for three weeks. This is so unfair, coz I wanna go too! Now Im stuck at home, and have to take care of it, make sure its not dirty and all. Sigh, Im not really good with chores. Oh well, there's always a first for everything.

Its been quite a while since I last came to the airport. I have always been amazed at how beautiful our international airport is. Now Im not biased or anything, its just...simply beautiful. I think the last time I came to the airport was in February, when I sent my friend off to Australia to further his studies. Its so nice to come back here again. But the price in the airport is ridiculously high! Everything is like, at least 20 or 30 percent higher. I dun really mind, its not like Im gonna get anything from the airport anyways. Except for chocolates hehhhee. They have this chocolate shop in the airport, with loads of chocolates from different countries, and candies too! If I have money to spend, that is definitely the first place that I'll go.

I tendered my resignation today. I thought I was gonna be happy with it, I was, until my bro spoilt it for me. Frankly speaking, he was pissed at me for quitting my job. I was at my department dinner, trying to enjoy myself, when I got his sms telling me how disappointed he was with me. He even said some few stuff that was targeted straight at the heart. After reading his sms, I was like, ouch! And then one of the committee members came to the table where I was sitting at and kinda screamed at us for taking some food first. We were supposed to wait for the rest of the staff to come first, wait for the speech, bla bla bla. I was like, screaming in my heart, "I didnt even touch the food you dumb bitch!" I was even tempted to tell it to her face, but it was not worth it. My mind was preoccupied with sumthing else.

I didnt enjoy the dinner, because of the events that took place. I was itching to get home. Thankfully, one of my other fren was there, and he wanted to leave early too, since his daughter was sick at home. So, after we had our dinner, we quietly made our getaway. I didnt get to say goodbye to my other frens, but oh well, I still have to come tomorrow, coz I have to to give my supervisor my MCs x_x

So, that was it. Im not gonna miss that department, coz personally, it was hell. For the time being, Im on the lookout for another job, before I leave to further my studies.

15th December 2004

Well, today's the day, and I did it. I told my parents that I was gonna resign, and suprisingly, they were not suprised at all. At least, my mom isnt. I called her when I was on my lunch break, and told her about it. But it was so noisy in the background, so she told me that we'll talk about it tonite, since we're goin out. So, during dinner, we talked about my decision. We had quite a long talk, but my mind was made up, I am resigning tomorrow.

My parents asked if I was still interested in studying. I said yes, but I also told them I didnt wanna waste their money anymore, that I was afraid I was gonna fail. Then they said sumthing that really made me think. Im not gonna say this here, in fact, Im not gonna tell it to anyone, as its kinda personal. What they said really made everything that I believed before wrong. Im such a dumbass! How the hell did I ever thought that way? Sigh...After hearing them out, I made a vow to myself. Im gonna continue my studies, and Im gonna make that my stepping stone for a bright future.

Oh yea, guess wat? Im gonna resign tomorrow, woohoo!


Monday

13th December 2004

Why is it that everything is always so damn busy on Mondays? I know that its the first day of the week, but come on! You dun have to give other people trouble on Mondays! God I hate Mondays! Everything is just so... x_x

Ive made up my mind, Im gonna tender my resignation on Thursday. Now comes the plan to tell my parents about it, but I'll tell them on Wednesday, Im gonna drop the bombshell on them (>_<)


Friday

10th December 2004

Guess wat? Its friday, woohoo!! That means no work for the next two days hahahahaa. Its time to get a well deserved break. Ermm, sort of lol. I told one of my colleagues at work just now, who also happens to be in my batch, that Im gonna tender my resignation next week. Then she told me she was also gonna tender her resignation next week. I was like, hey, why dun we tender it together? She replied sure, why not. But I also told her to keep this to herself, so that this wont leak out hehehee.

It makes me wonder wat the others will think when I tender my resignation next week. Wonder wat their reactions will be like. Oh well, not that it concerns me at all, am just kinda curious to know heh. But then again, I dun think I'll find out about it, since I wont be there any longer. Meh, Im gonna go now. Dun really have anything to say today lol.

8th December 2004

Was so tired and sleepy at work just now. Besides that, was also really not in the mood to work. Today's customers are really bad, and just plain dumb. Cant they understand simple english? No means no, no matter what your arguments are, no definitely means no, as in cant be done, period. How come its so hard to understand that? Sigh...dumbasses!

I saw Arsenal's game in the morning just now. We won, and we are now in the knockout stages of the Champions League. Thats one of the reason as to why I feel so sleepy at work. But I dun care though, even though I have work the next day, Im still gonna watch my team play. Nuff said.

Am still actively and desperately searching for another job. I even asked a few of my frens and my old lecturer to inform me if they have any openings. But Ive decided, Im still gonna tender my resignation next week. Though this is still not final, there's a high possibility that it will happen. Wish me luck guys ^_-

4th December 2004

I went to the doctor yesterday during work, coz my body was really aching because of my fever. I was hoping that the doctor will give me an MC and send me home, but instead, he told me that I dun need to go home. He also gave me some medicines to ease the pain and the fever. I was like, damn. I was looking forward to go home tho, coz I need some rest. The doctor told me that I was infected by this viral virus that was goin around, and also explained to me how the virus affect me. He showed me a rough sketch of it, saying that my temperature will keep on goin up and down, until the virus is gone. I told the doctor that this is an irritating virus, and he agreed. He told me to get more rest, and take plenty of fluids. Yea, more rest, how am I gonna rest if u didnt send me home doc?

Anyways, I saw 'Alexander' last nite. God it was so boring! No wonder they said its not a good movie. I ended up sleeping halfway thru the movie. I kept looking at my watch, wondering when this movie is gonna end. I could have left, but I was sitting in the middle of the cinema, and I didnt wanna ruin it for the rest of the viewers. So, the next best thing to do was to sleep, and sleep I did. Sigh, wasted 10 bucks for that movie. I'd rather watch 'The Incredibles' again. Now that is a good movie.

My temperature is up again, dammit. This is truly irritating, and it makes me feel so weak. Now where did I put that medicine of mine? Gah, I hope I'll get better soon. Meh.

Wow, it has been ages since I last updated this site of mine. Im not sure if there's anybody who drop by to this site, but if u do, thank you. That's very nice of u and I really appreciate it. And i also wanna apologize for the lack of updates on this site. A lot of things happened, and I was always so busy that I didnt have time to update the blog. I hope that will change, since Im really wasting my money on this site if I didnt do anything to it. I got the time today, coz I didnt go to work, as Im sick. Am currently resting at home, but have to go back to work tomolo, dang.

Anyways, here's a little recap of what I have been doin these past month. First of all, obviously, is work. Ive been so busy with work that I didnt have any time to do other things. I noticed that I can only do the things I like on weekends, but have been quite lazy to update this site (>_<). Also, I met someone really really special to me, but I wont give out her name without consent first ;) But its pretty complicated, coz she's staying some place really far from me, but such things wont matter, coz I really luv her. We've been e-mailing each other ever since. And another interesting news, I am currently desperately on the lookout for a new job. I cant take this current job that Im doin now, way too stressful. As soon as I got another job, Im definitely leaving this place lol.

Last nite I played football with some of my colleagues at work. It was just ok, but it felt like there's sumthing missing. Halfway during the course of the game, I suffered cramps on both of my calfs, as well as my feet. That prevented me from playing my usual game, and it kinda annoys me. Of course, my mind was already pre-occupied with not hurting my knee, which made me play bad as well. After the game, on my way back home, I thought to myself, whether I should continue playing or just hang up my boots, or in this case, shoes. I thought about it long and hard, and finally came to a conclusion. Im gonna stop playing football, for good. Its time for me to retire. Theres a few reason as to why i wanna retire. First of all, theres my knee injury. Three years and counting, its not healed yet. Besides that, theres another important factor that made me stop playing football. Ive always been really passionate about football, be it playing as well as watching a game on TV. But when I was playing last nite, I didnt feel the passion, the adrenaline rush that I used to get whenever I play. Its like, Ive lost it. And I figured to myself, wat is the use of goin on if I dun enjoy playing as much as I do? After contemplating about it, I made up my mind to stop playing. 22 years and xx days, I announce my retirement from football, but I will still continue to watch football matches on TV tho lol. And if the situation calls for it, maybe one day I'll come out of retirement and play one last game, coz I didnt really like the way I went out last nite ^^;

Before I leave, let me just make it clear that this site is up and running, except for my manga blog, as Im quite lazy to continue with it. But I'll try to revive it tho hehehehe. So, I do hope you guys will come back to this site, and I also hope you enjoy ur stay ;)
