I Asked GodI asked God for strength,that I might achieve:I was made weak tohappily obey.I asked for health,that I might do greater things;I was given infirmity thatI might do better things.I asked for riches,that I might be happy;I was given poverty, that I might be wise.I asked for power,that I might have the praise of men;I was given weakness, thatI might feel the need of God.I asked for all things,that I might enjoy life;I was given life, thatI might enjoy all things.I got nothing that I asked for -but everything I had hoped for.Almost despite myself,my unspoken prayers were answered.I am among all menmost richly blessed.Author Unknown

ok. feel like blogging about the football clubs i support. so i'll blog about the football clubs i support

Manchester United (England)
yeah. the first team i supported, thx to my father and cousin. been following them since 2002. and here's hoping they make it 3 EPL titles in a row come may 2009

Sheffield United (England)
hmm. started supporting Sheff Utd since may 2003. was hoping they'd thrash wolves, but...ah well. anyway me hopes they will finish in the top 6 of the Championship this season, so they can playoff and return to the Premier League

Bristol Rovers (England)
started following them in 2006. purely because i wanted to see what it was like to support a so-called "lower" team, one whose definition of "success" in finishing in the top half of the table. and its been a hell of ride so far. hope to see them get promoted to the Championship sometime in the future, and maybe even the Premier League

Heart of Midlothian aka Hearts (Scotland)
yea. supported them cos i didnt want to follow either Celtic or Rangers (although i do follow Celtic somewhat, as they are a Catholic club =p) (and yes, Rangers are Protestant. so...)
actually i should be supporting Hibernian, who are Hearts's rivals. simply because Hibernian are Catholic, and Hearts are Protestant...

Real Madrid (Spain)
yea the Madridistas! started following them in 2006 or 2007. the fact that i absolutely hate barcelona also played its part. hopefully Madrid can now catch up those losers barcelona and win the Spanish title

Internazionale Milano aka Inter-Milan (Italy)
yea Inter rocks! Mourinho is the man. which of course means i detest ac milan, those losers.
btw, Man Utd, Inter Milan and Real Madrid have all been champions of their respective countries for the past two seasons. coincidence...?

Lazio (Italy)
only started supporting Lazio recently. mainly for 2 reasons: the first is that i HATE as roma. those swines. the second is tt Lazio are mainly right-wing; they believe in Mussolini's ideals, which is Fascism, which generally means the country being governed by a dictator.
Hitler was the Man!
great. now im going to be arrested for the politics shit above

Werder Bremen (Germany)
i didnt want to support Bayern Munich. so it was a choice between Hamburger SV, VfL Wolfsburg or Bremen. and the latter got my vote! plus brazilian striker Diego rocks

Singapore Armed Forces (Singapore)
last but not least, my local hometown club: SAFFC! started supporting them in 2002. those nights at chua chu kang stadium are super memorable, not least seeing SAF win the S League at cck stadium in 2007. plus the stadium is just 20 mins away frm my house. so yea. of course, this raises the issue: what if i move house? maybe if i move to the north-east, i'll support sengkang instead...
yea tts all for today

For all the single, heartbroken, lovelorn misfits out there, this one's for youSwore never to fall in love again. The breaking of a heart makes no sound, but is the most painful and irreparable. They say "love like you've never been hurt". But is it really that easy?

Thursday, February 05, 2009,9:08 pm

non-stop week. lets see: mon: i cant rmb much, and i cant be bothered to. anyway had econs remedial frm 5.30-6.30, den pei-ed Totto frm 6.30 until 8. i even walk her to the bus-stop okay! wait with her for 190 you know! see i so nice
tues: Totto kinda returned the favour frm 3.30-5. den managed to break out my lovely pink boots. unfortunately couldnt score to make it 3 games in a row =( but tts still 2 goals in 3 games. nt bad la. plus i seriously need to learn how to control the ball with studs
wed: yea watever. had cca open house, but was kinda ruined by some dickhead. oh wait no. i think its better to treat tt son of a bitch like air: u noe its around, but u cant see it. anyway discussed our future with Mr Waisiong. im going to Monash Uni!!! hahazzzzzz. nah actually im going to either Oxford, Cambridge, Yale or Harvard. so there. i wouldnt mind other Aussie unis either. choose from New South Wales, Queensland, Melbourne, Sydney, Newcastle, Victoria.......
thu: had an uber crappy chem lecture. den football for pe: i didnt bring my pink boots! damn! den had lit, before gp and maths. aft tt 985-ed to lot one with Eva and (wad bloody nickname did u give urself, waisiong?). library-ed with Brena till 4.30. den wanted to go cck stadium and watch SAF vs woodlands with Fabian, but when we reached there, we found out tt they had made a last-min swap to woodlands stadium! wtf man! screw u s league, screw you FAS. waste of time and money
fri: it hasnt happened yet
and i screwed my chem and econs tests! gang gang pass! wtf?! like tt how to go Oxford? *swears*
Edit at 11.13 pm:
yea had a good chat with my father about university. and now i cant wait for jc and army to be over so i can go for undergraduate degree, followed by honours, masters and PhD (lol. damn ambitious). plus i have suddenly lost my desire to study in NUS or NTU. i wan to try living abroad, becos Singapore is so boring.
so my current targets are most of the Australian unis mentioned above. mainly Monash, but i also wouldnt mind Australian National University, Queensland, NSW, Melbourne or Sydney. also considering some English universities like Bristol and Manchester. and thx to my father, ive also gt Canadian unis in my sights, namely Brock (where my father studied), York and University of Toronto
if you're wondering abt American universities, i have this to say: unless they're Harvard or Yale, two words: no way. because american spelling pisses me off
last point: Oxford and Cambridge are super spastic laaaaa. u need a bare minimum of AAA for ur main subjects to be eligible. and even then, i feel u still need to have 3 more "A"s (in h1 subject, general paper and project work) to be in contention. Harvard and Yale are probably just as hard
