I'm baaaaack...yeah I know I've been absent for God knows how long; it wasn't as if I was lazy or 'coz I didn't want to or anything, it was just 'coz...well, here's the scoop on what's been happening in my life right now & what happened during the days that went by without me posting anything...

First up, Euro Cup '04 Portugal vs Greece...aaaarrgghh!! That bloody match was a no-brainer! Portugal could've won 'coz they've had soooo many chances. And I was so disappointed with Figo. Figo, where was your death-defying, earth-gravitating football skills, man?? You're only 31, for football's sake! I was counting on you, yo!

I can't really blame C.Ronaldo that much 'coz it's his first international match & I mean, give the boy a break, he's still a rookie. But that doesn't give him an excuse to be selfish with the bloody ball...Figo too. Even though Figo looks sexy while dribbling it, there's no reason not to share. It was the opening match & Portugal lost...to bloody Greece...cheeh.

Next battle of the titans belongs to England & France. As much as I wholeheartedly support England 'coz of the ever-adorable Micheal Owen, I'm doubtful they'll win, what with Zinedine Zidane & Theirry Henry backing up the French team. Whatever it is, best of luck to both teams.

Okay, 'nuff said about soccer. The MIT proposal team is now virtually homeless as of now; the lovely air-conditioned lab we once called home at Block M Level 3 Room 323 has been taken away from us. In fact, all the comp labs were taken away from all the courses. So now our home is the SIT clubroom at Block L Level 6. It wouldn't be so bad if only we didn't have to face the EXCOS everyday.

Starting tomorrow, we'll have intensive training on all our trial runs; I know I wrote about this before but now is like, the real thing, man. MIT had ours on Friday & I gotta say that it was much MUCH better than previous ones, if not the best. Although on my part, I still had some info wrong, gotta work on that one there.

Hairul our president was supposed to be in my class as one of the freshies; they said at first that it was going to be Clement but they change the last minute. But in the end, none of the EXCOS came to my class & you can imagine how relieved I was.

Anywayz, I caught Harry Potter over the weekend at Suntec for free, 'coz Uncle Bobbin got tickets from his company. So the whole group of us went; 6 from my family, 3 from Mummy Lin's, plus 4 from Uncle Bobbin's side...yep, 13 people altogether & we fit nicely into Uncle Bob's Merc van.

Case No. 1
The tickets included a free drink & popcorn & I was holding on to them. I mean, can you imagine holding out 13 tickets for collection of food? The stupid me went to throw away the seating arrangement plan Uncle Bob had printed out for us & for that, I had to dig into the dustbin to get it back...eeewww

Case No. 2
Since Uncle Bob had gone to park the van, we waited outside the theatres for him & when he came, this usher asked for our tickets. I told him we gave them to the food collecting booth & he was kinda impatient, as though he thought I was horsing around. I was like, hello?? And I started to panic. Uncle Bob was ilke, where's the tickets, Lenny? The white tickets in the envelope?? And I went, uh..I throwed them in the bin!!

So, frustrated as I was & in panicked mode, I pawed into the dustbin again for that stupid white envelope. Uncle Bob came behind me while I was digging & pointed to the floor to show that the envelope was there. Aaaaarrgghhh!

Lastly, Case No. 3
I grabbed the envelope & flipped it open & guess what?? There were no white tickets!! movie startes at 1630hrs & there were no tickets. I was already on the verge of hysteria, wha with Uncle Bob looking at me with deadly eyes. His cell rang and when he answered it, at the same time feeling his back posckets. A few seconds later, he pulled out his hand & produced those damned tickets!!! Aaaarrggghhh....

I pawed through a bloody dustbin filled with God knows what when those dumbass tickets were in his jeans!! I was so frustrated & I stormed away. Only at 1530, an hour after the movie started was hat he SMSed me to apologize & say that it was his fault....grrrr

So, yeah that was basically how my week was, apart from squealing with glee while downloading new JC & *NSYNC vids, although by other standards they're kinda old but what the heck?? As long as I've got something to watch, I'm gravy.

Laterz...
