the one about ciggs

Finally played soccer after a preety long time with the peeps again. The pj hockers came to play with us and we had a match against them, the result was very bad for us and we were getting owned in every aspect of the game. Well, just hope that we will be able to provide a better show for our fans next week during the second leg, when several of our injured players returned.

ok lets talk about ciggs now. There I was sitting on the air-con bus on my way to the game, when this mat appeared at a bustop. He was just finishing his cigg and so took a large puff before throwing it on the ground and boarding the bus. ok nebermind la i hear u say... abit of of smoke in the bus wun kill anyone right? The bugger had to sit right behind me and give out his frigging foul breath. knn friggin ruined my early morning bus ride.

Much later at the soccer court, there were a bunch of ngee ann poly guys who came to play with us. There was this particular one who was wearing an Argentina jersey and probably thought he was Diego Maradona and so had to live up to his namesake. He brought in a cigg into the game and planned to smoke as he played. He soon puffed enough and threw the cigg on the floor. 'Maradona's' friends then shouted at him to threw it outside the court, but he shouted back,' wahlou eh the cigg so small wun do any fuck to the ball la.' Well it sure as hell did not do any fuck to the ball but it probabay did a lot of fuck to him, as he was rooted to the ground during that game and hardly got a touch of the ball.

Now, there has been talk in recent weeks that the government is planning to ban the puffing of ciggs in several more places such as in pubs and hawker centres. BAN BAN BAN I say. Several smokers were interviewed by The Straits Times and they felt that the gahmen should not impose the restrictions as they were 'responsible' somkers and did not smoke when near the presence of other non smokers. Now, i do not give a flying fuck if the smokers want to ruin their own lungs, but if any smoker says that he/she has never smoked in the presence of a non-smoker, I say horseshit. Now, even if they are 'responsible' and do not smoke in the presence of non-smokers, what about the situation in the bus that I mentioned earlier?

then again its unlikey that my wish for the gahmen to ban the sale ciggs will be met, due to the high taxes that the gahmen earns from them. Im just hoping that they will impose more restrictions on places where smokers are allowed to puff.

an experience at the library

ok so i just went to the library to collect a book that i had reserved (Yes i do read). Waited damn long for somebody to serve me and then finally this indian woman came along. I handed over my reservation slip and then proceeded to hand over my very Easy-link card.
She took one look at my photo on the very Easy-link card and remaked,'' Who's this ah?".
"Oh, thats me.", I replied.
She then proceeded to eye my suspiciously and let out,"OH!".
She continued glancing at my photo and at me as she was completing the admin stuff.I have no idea why she was so amused by the photo so i decided to post the picture.....

Nabeh! so cute she so surprised for what sia?? Posted by Hello

siao or noble Robin Hood u decide

Read in the papers yeterday of a certain robin hood by the name of Mr. kesavedas who was charged by the courts with stealing SG$170,000 from his company. What makes him stand out is the fact that he used sent the money back home to India for charity purposes such as donating the money for the setting up of ophanages, helping people clear their debts

Upon reading this 2 things crossed my mind:

  1. The guy is some crazy apu neh neh who believes in karma and that in stealing from the rich for the poor he will go to 'paradise'. Im sorry to tell him but he will instead be incacerated for 20 months.
  2. No chinese will ever do such a thing. Im not trying to be racist here, but it crossed my mind that it would be really odd if a chinese was the one who stole and gave it to charity. I mean ask around and see which race is perceived to be the most 'money-minded', the answer would very likely be the chinese. It has something to do with the chinese culture i believe of 'loving money'.

Anyway i think im preety much screwed for the coming common test, which is in lets see 1,2 oh 2 days. knn. really no mood to cram all the atmosphere crap into my brain. the only thing i can remember of what i learnt earlier is that the hadley cell ( a cell which aids in the transportation of wind) was discored in 1753. Found this very interesting because i was of the impression that men only understood the movement of air in the atmosphere much later.

shall continue theis blog after the dreaded exams............ if i come out alive that is

2nd !st time

kk so this the 2nd time im starting a blog... the last one had 1 post then i gt bored of it
Well just caught a short video clip http://takgiu.rantz.com after geting the link of mrbrown.com. Its abt 15mins long and it laments the state or rather lack of soccer fields in Singapore. Kudos to the guys who did the clip. Personally, I feel the sg governemt can really do much more abt the state of soccer in singapore. They can keep harping on the fact that Singaporeans are not 100% behind the S league, but look at the recent Tiger Cup, the fans were there behind the team. I feel what the government should do is not just keep saying that it has been supporting the S League and wat not.. but instead encourage more youngsters to play the game. And how do youngsters play when there r so many signs everywhere that tell them not to. When the team i play in in sec sch wanted a field to train, we had a hard time searching before decide to just use the school field although it was not very well maintained. But then again how many fields in Singapore are well maintained?

Now when i say the gahmen shld encourage the young ones to play soccer, i understand that there can be detractors like my very own principal. I admit and its widely known that most soccer players lack the smarts in class, but like that just give up and dun try is it? ok i forgot we are singaporeans. Seriously fuck man. Don't talk abt Goal 2010 or 2014, if we fail to cross this barrier that soccer has no future then might as well set Goal 0000.

The balls really in the governtment's court, theres only so much people like the filmakers can do. The maths preety simple, if you open up more fields for the lads to play and a soccer CCA in every school, chances of unearthing the next Quah Kim Song will be higher.
Till then lets just takgiu and hope that we will see more glory days regarding Singapore soccer.


On a lighter note, CL draw in about half an hour. Im hoping liverpool get drawn with either bayern, lyon or PSV. No dirty italians please.
