long day out again.

yst was a long day outside.

met up with cw wil kr yk and her fren & sis at bishan mrt stn to go to cat high homecoming ceremony. ya. and we reached there quite early.. at ard 9+. not many people. ya.. .kind of expected.

it was almost the same every year. the same kind of shops one could find in pasar malam, or the yearly lan-shops, the same eye-catching stalls, but always, one can find something different every year. of which i dun find anything special (or just that there is, but i cant be bothered to check it out?)

aiya... most of the time just walk around lo. we sort of dumped yk, her fren and her sis in the school compound expecting them to get lost or sth liddat... ya. sry ar, we 招待不周. Nth much, and i was all the way leeching wil kr and cw la; they keep blanjah-ing me drinks, food and even the breakfast pringles (which we only ate half and stored 1r4 in the bag and another 1r4 back into the cans and we took it up later to mix with the nachos cheese we bought for $4)... so.. ya. leech 惯 in cat high le, so dun blame me if i cont doing that in IJ lo. haha.

walk and walk.. i mean walk behind them la, and going in front only if they wan buy sth, so that i can have a share of it. haha. of course, we NEVER miss the yearly lan shop, however sianned we were. go in primarily watch ppl play, secondary escape from the heat outside and enjoy the coolness (but not the ODOUR that engulfed the whole com lab) of the air-con. ok i shall not elaborate any further abt those ppl inside, cos i am not in any position to. slacked inside the room for almost an hour before coming out to suffer under the heat again.

again, they went to look for their juniors and their frens, and i just blindly followed them. hahah. and i continued to leech them as long as they find their juniors and bought food and drinks from them.

den go slacked at the grand stand. while waiting for olk and wc to get rdy to meet us at dhoby ghaut; they were just abt to get ready when we were to leave the school liao... wow la that's fast man.

and we continued rotting in plaza sing, still waiting for olk and wc. haha. and we talked about our future lives, wad job we gonna have, and how to manage our income, investment, and all those crap. kr "steps into the limelight" and shuts all of us up with his econs concepts of (wadeva wadeva wadeva) which sounds kinda logical to me or wad. haha. *ok that's no link*

finally, at ard 2+ wc and olk arrived. go.. lan gaming, 老地方。

ya. i played for only 1 match in which i was owned. haha. OD tio own like mad: 1-8. thanks.

and the other was against strangers just opposite our coms. i din play cos i was leaving soon, and furthermore there was no more slots for me to join. ya so i just watch them play, and help organise them whenever i can.

spammer stun build:
wil - sand king
cw - rogur knight
olk - vengeful spirit
kr - crystal maiden
wc - ogre magi

ya this combo was nice and cheapo, i agree. so fun la, ganging up on just 1 person on a 5v5 and the other 4 just... run away leaving the poor unlucky 5th hero to die. worse still, the opponents not much of teamwork. ya... so they deserve it. they were owned in the end of course.

and just nice after this match we left. i then left them and went to look for winston. ya.

met up with him, hongwei (newly introduced fren) and of course, joey at the basement. we wanted to take bus 16 to the national stadium for its closing ceremony de, but it was a jam at the very bus stop. we waited in vain for like 20 mins. and we decided to take cab instead. hahaha.

it was kinda hot inside; the sun had not set yet. the friendly match btwn singapore and malaysia was alrd halfway through. ya. we just... watch lo, anyway the highlight was not very much of this, nor the friendly match against aussies, but the party-all-night "lights out" in the field late in the night.

singapore 1 : 1 malaysia. ok that comes as no surprise to me.

next coming up the aussies against the lions. lol. 1st half i would say is a very interesting match. now i see world class standard: high speed, accurate passes, excellent positioning, and most of all, good strategy. everyone was cheering for both teams in the 1st half; it was exciting. i was also hyped up by all those miss-just-by-an-inch kind of shots made by both teams. whew.

oh ya i want to comment on this player. not wanna say his name (cos i forgot) and his jersey no, (ya i shouldnt say that also) but ar, his white hair is what caught me. lol. small sized, ok he cant outrun the aussies i got nth to say, but he ar... he totally LOST 2 chances to score cos he was.. abit slow. ya. 2 similar scenarios: corner kick from the right flank (from my angle) and the shot was deflected out DIRECTLY to him. he could have volleyed it STRAIGHT into the top corners; he chose not to. he pressed the ball down and did some turns, and he was preparing that "scoring kick" and the ball was snatched away by the aussie defenders. LOL. what a sight.

but the 2nd half... not so appeasing. especially the spectators' attitude. ya. the "sissy" sitting rgiht behind me was an example. i shall not elaborate further; it kills my appetite. anyway, the 1st goal was more of a tyco shot, though the strategy was there, the striker was really going off target, but somehow the ball was like forced to hit the inner side of the post and struck the inside grounds of the goal. ya the singaporean defender kicked it out, a milisecond later than just in time. haix. 1-0.

and the next goal, it sets the spectators more admitting. that was a very nice strategy, by the left flanker. a middle true ball was loped to the front left, which the left flanker got it, and he dribbled past 2 singaporean defenders who left part of the most crucial scoring space undefended. that left flanker crossed to the middle-right side (i forgot exactly the position) and the scorer-to-be ran really damn fast to get the ball and zhammed it into the goal. everyone was cheering for that aussie. ya. and of course the goalkeeper who really tried his best to grab that shot.

3rd shot. ok i got nth to say. a slip in the defenders' moves. ya and partly is cos the aussie striker run damn fast. he outrun 2 defenders. through the centre. and the keeper was left alone to face the striker. and.. too bad... ya a simple tap did the trick. the keeper managed to intercept, but not good enough, and the ball slotted itself just nicely into the bottom right of the goal. 3-0.

fate sealed. singapore lost.


ok that i think was not the main thing. i was longing, craving for the upcoming closing ceremony. whoohoo.

and it all happened. ya. i shall not elaborate much more. cos all was in my sound recording (it was pitch dark except for the camera flashes and the spotlights which my camera resolution is too weak to capture it) and... ya. memorable i would say. the emcees made it so descriptive that i was admiring their use of "cute words" like "the ball just slotted in..." lol.

ok enough. until 10+ and the party STARTED! the 4 of us went to join the 100m long queue and then went in the field which i NEVER stepped on its ground before in my life. it's my pleasure and HONOUR to be able to step on ground that renowned characters and heroes had stepped on before. haha.

PARTY-ALL-NIGHT! so i see. zouk is just like disco nights, just more people, more intensive, and also got drinks available. ya. dance dance dance! joey was only the one dancing and the 3 of us were like... just... shaking? haha. ok wadever. i can see she was trying REAL HARD trying to hype us up. ya ppl like me just can't do that. lol. but i had great fun anyway, hearing people shouting screaming like mad, the deafening blast of speakers, and the blinding lights which most of us dun care... damn fun la, though i felt abit awkward.

dance until 11+, almost 12. wulala. and we left the stadium with ringing ears, spinning eyes, wobbly legs, damp bodies (from pespiring). haha.

walked all the way to kallang, then through the geyland rd. the whole stretch. ya in search of food. and we took like 1r2 hour to finally settle down at 1 coffeeshop and ordered 五香. joey was asking me wad is that.. which i also dunno how to explain also, so i just told her "sth like indian rojak la." haha. is that true? cos i also dunno wad's indian rojak. -_-

ya. i was thirsty. drank 2 cups of teh si. arghh....

den we continued strolling down the street. ya i observed geylang is such a nightlife town. JAM at 1am +++. LOL.

and finally, we went home. in cab. lol. $30 dollars. zai.

damn tired. reach home at 2+ .

i am draineddddd. so is my wallet.

photos? i shall not put up. =)

I'mma Touch the Sky!
