Very Very unlucky n Hokkien Post

This must be the most farking suay day ever in my whole life as an Arsenal Fan….
Yes, I am being very very very vulgar here, but who can imagine my super duper super duper gross disappointment when Teck broke the DAMN disappointing news to me… Suay Kao Lai Sai…

Teck won an all expense paid trip to watch Arsenal v Everton this Sunday and you know what! He asked me if i am free to watch Arsenal with him!!!!

Hey it’s in LONDON ok… Not ur pub or kopitiam in tampinese
ITS IN THE EMIRATES STADIUM OK!

And you know what, I cant go because….

I am down for reservist on the next day….

What are the odds man… Damn suay la…

Wanted to be irrational and go AWOL, then I decided that is damn irrational… and Arsenal is not going to commemorate me for that if I really go AWOL… haha… Wanted to get MC on Monday, but which doctor will I be seeing? A London based doctor? In the end cannot lor and he got clement (the DAMN man utd fan) to go with him….

Really…

Pui Chao Nua…

Pui!!!

经一事, 长一智

Today at work was almost equivalent to a slap in the face when i call up the relevant party to explain something relating to (numbers aka censored). The result was perhaps anticipated but to hear it from the party himself was extremely painful and made me wonder if the team's efforts had gone down the drain over the past few months.

Obviously feeling damn sore over this matter though my SUP says it's ok as it's obviously not within our control.

Of course, fortunately, somebody came and gave me some sort of a counselling. Thank god for him. I've never realised that there exist someone who takes so much pride in the work he does and remains so passionate about it. I was very very passionate about economics as some of you out there had known it, and here i am talking to someone who is extremely passionate about the investigative work that he does and made me realise not everything is lost and finally not everything is perfect or rather everything is grey. i can really feel his passion just as somebody like Tse Peng or Darryl will have told me that i m mad abt economics...

Such pple are really precious and i hope they will be around to really help the place grow...

For the first few months, i had simply no idea as to what they are doing, but now, i seriously appreciate the role of these pple.

Updates

Finally got a new flat in punggol and make my first cheesecake ever for miss tan's birthday during the past one week.

The steps to making the cheesecake doesn't look difficult from siew wah's recipe, but boy i actually spent like 3 hrs on it at the end of the day, which is pretty exhausting.

Met up with some of the remnant members of G League for soccer. Those were really the days which we must had train much harder than that of the professional soccer players. But of course, these days are gone, and my memories of G League and Ngee Ann are fast fading away.

What's the purpose of life?

To earn more and more $$, to accomplish something magnificent?

Or just to hold on to the pple that you cherish, the times that you cherish and the friendship that once existed but fast fading away as the years past by....

I certainly miss G League... and the 2E vs the Rest of The World... (things that keep coming up in our conversations whenever we met)

Too late, we had all grown up... although there are many more things to look forward to, the aspect of friends and g league can never be replaced, and looks unlikely to be replicated once again...
