New skin on the way...will be using my sis's help, haha.
Had planned it in line for the start of the new season of the premier league, but I totally forgot about it, so I guess it'll be pretty much delayed. Oh wells.

The weeks are getting better. I am really, finding the subjects pretty ok now. Yes I mean I suck at them, but I do find what I'm studying useful and interesting, and I am hopeful that I will improve in time, t, haha. Most important though is that nothing I'm facing now is like art or chinese in secondary school. Haha, this week I found out that Yong Jin had similar problems with me in sec 1 and 2 regarding art. Something we were never ever meant to be good at. Ever.

So there isn't much happening during this week. Next week will be a short one and I will be working hard, very hard whenever I'm at home (and I guess I won't be for the most part of it). I am just hating my absentmindedness, I mean there was the pencil box, I totally forgot about making a new skin, and also I forgot to bring my PE shirt on Wednesday meaning I couldn't play tennis. Argh, it is frustrating, and if anything, it is a sign of further carelessness to come which will irritate me even more. Yeah, and I don't know how to fight it. It is like some invisible enemy that I'm facing, and I don't have it's number. Sigh.

Today was scholarship day at school. And yes, there were loads of freebies. Loads. Haha, I feel so stupid buying that mechanical pencil a few weeks ago. Even more so compounded by this chapter in the undercover economist, aha. Of course the talks were useful and stuff, and yes, I do worry about my future a lot. I'm sure my parents do too, only more. Come to think of it, I really would love the opportunity to go to a non-English speaking country like France or Germany, with the scholarships so generous now that you will get a year to study the language which counts to the bond period. I reiterate, UK is ideal of course, but in this world ideals are really things most of us can only approach. Sigh, I really am indecisive. Many people have their sights set on being an engineer of teacher, etc. I won't detest being either, but that's the crux of the problem. Well, there's still time. To think. Really hard.

Man, this entry sounds like an application of wave motion, if you can get what it means. So anyway, onto another crest. Earlier this evening got news that the debaters won the MIDCs against AC in the final. Haha, I'm sure all of them have made so many sacrifices to put in time to prep. hard and this is certainly their deserved reward. Well I suppose that's true to a certain extent. The results don't matter, it's the process, many say. But hey, you got to see it that way yourself to appreciate it, if not, you would find it as scant consolation. And if that is so, then that phrase is irrelevant, and there's nothing wrong with feeling that way. Absolutely nothing.

In a week's time, I would either be in huge agony now at a million and one missed contenders for miss of the season, or, I would be in ecstasy that Arsenal are still in title contention, the phrase I use to console myself nowadays. My hopes for the season : just don't, DON'T finish below our rotten rivals Tottenham. Or they would invent something like St. Arse day. (Just so you know, to avid fans like me, St. Totteringham's day is the day where Spurs will never be able to overtake Arsenal in the league table, =p) Now that would be so humiliating.

Back to the not-so-far-ahead future, and for tomorrow's community shield I really do hope to see Nani and Anderson (too bad no Tevez) play exceptionally well and score goals. Why? The curse of the community shield. For the last 3 years of the community shield, Reyes, Drogba, and Shevchenko respectively have scored fine goals. And yes, for each of those 3 coming seasons, they have been (as I love saying) rubbish.

Arsenal's pre-season has just been going smooth. 2 wins at the Emirates Cup, with a lovely goal from van Persie's left foot. And in Amsterdam we've already won 2-1 against Lazio, with new signing Eduardo da Silva scoring a fine debut goal for the club.

Anyway, I've always said that I wanted to be a football commentator, and my oh my, have I been given a great boost CHECK THIS OUT, it's absolutely comical.
Rosicky's corner and he delivers a lovely ball in, and Eduardo has perfect contact with it and heads in it brilliantly. Now for the funny part. The immediate image after the goal was scored was of Lazio defender Zauri, putting his hands on this head in disappointment (which believe me, all defenders do when their team leaks). This fooled the commentator into thinking he scored an own goal, and what he says is just plain funny. Towards the end, he was cut off, but what he said was 'He (da Silva) was almost sheepishly trying to claim it as his goal' (when it was clearly his own head that was the last to touch the ball before it went in). Worse, he reiterated his stand (that it was an own goal) even after replay after replay after replay was shown, as I recorded that match and watched it. Oh my, I could imagine him commentating in the 1986 World Cup Final when Maradona scored the 'Hand of God' goal and he would be saying 'lovely header' while the rest of England would be wanting to **** him. Miserable, but that's what Singapore viewers might be getting for the premier league with the likes of Dykes and Reeves no longer on our screens for pre-match shows.
