Futsalities

Almost forgot to blog till Lilian asked me just now.. Hmmm, so my readership is alive i see :-)

so first things first is the follow up to the "banning motorbikes" blog. was sitting in the island cafe in ss2 one of the days this week and we were sitting in the corner. you know how island cafe has some ropes like fencing along the perimeter of the place? we were sitting nearer to the shop and not the road and beside us (nearer the road) was a group of chinese girls who were playing uno cards. then suddenly we had one of them screech, she went like "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" no kidding, so we turn around and we see a guy with a helmet jumping on a motorbike which his fren was riding and take off. and it was all over in like what, 0.02 seconds?

it was just crazy. and altho the girl had her handbag on the table, i'm not gonna blame her, cos that would be blaming the victim. like how every asshole says that women who dress skimpily deserve to be raped. i mean, the perpetrator is not even SUPPOSED to rape in the first place. or snatch handbags for that matter. why cant everyone leave everyone else in peace? sigh.. i think thats what i like abt developed countries. ok maybe not the US, i'm talking abt europe and nz.

there was once when i was in hastings, a seaside town abt 2 hrs from london, and i dropped my camera and i didnt realise it. and this young guy runs up to me (and i get worried cos i tot tht he's gonna snatch my bag or something seeing i'm a foreigner), but he was running after me to return my camera! and i was so speechless that i was tongue tied and he just ran off without me even thanking him. and thats being a foreigner, could u believe this happening in malaysia? where people snatch whats yours, let alone you dropping something - you'd never see it again!

so yeah, dear government, PLS BAN MOTORBIKES. since u cant succeed in changing people's mentality anyway :p

about futsalities, played in my first friendly against telekom the other day (all this while i've only been playing for fun with both the guys and girls from my office) and this was like our first match. do the girls from telekom had their own coach (who doubled as our referree) and yellow "netball" jerseys and all la kan, and here we were wearing all diferent t-shirts etc. and yeah we lost 9-3.

but the best part was that i scored the first goal for maersk and the crowd went WILD.. cos all the guys were in teh sidelines and man, the roar that went up was so cool. i remember arvinth telling me that the crowd support is so good when you play cos it takes the players to a high when they score and its TRUE. it was so much fun i felt like somersaulting on the field (not that i know how, i would prob break my back or something). but man, the high was good. my first goal in a tourney :-) and i got the last goal too, i put in the first and last goal for maersk and the last goal of the match, which led to another roar. damn damn cun. i wanna play some more :-) it seriously didnt feel like we lost.. hahahaha..

well, been sick the whole of last wkend - like REALLY sick - fever cough cold sorethroat flue aches everything - and went to the doctor 3 times. the first one was a panel doc - totally hopeless cos i took 6 fever tablets throughout the day and nothing happened.

and when i went to my family doc the next day, she gave me a jab, sponged me, and sent for a bloodtest straightaway. and gave me super expensive antibiotics ($10/pill).. so blood test was fine and now i'm fine except for a little coughing. but i missed the job fair and the book fair, so screw the job fair (i'm retiring anyway) and i'll go to the book fair this wkend then.

have a nice wkend peeps :-)
