HOME
I'm staring out into the night,
And trying to hide the pain.
I'm going to the place where love
and feeling good don't ever cost a thing,
And the pain you feel's a different kind of pain.
I'm going home to the place where I belong,
where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm running from you know I think you got me all wrong,
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old,
So I'm going home.

Oh my gawd I'm so tired.

CNY was supposed to be a few days of rest and relaxation so that I could get my act together and maybe stop skipping school so much but I guess not. Hahas. Instead, the past few days were spent shuttling from one place to another.

First off was reunion dinner with the gang and laura's birthday party on friday, then grapevine last night with the cousin, her boyfriend and drew and finally the match, veron's house and pool today.

Reunion dinner with the gang was way too short. I left my house late and I had to be at boat quay by 9.30 so I was feeling pretty bad when I realised I completely forgot that I was supposed to bring apple crumble for desert, which made me feel worse. But it was good to see everyone again, though I only hung around long enough to Lo Hei with them. By the time I left, I was running late so I took a cab down to boat quay from yishun and it cost a frigging 16bucks plus. ARGH I SO need a driving license! Anyway, we spent a little time at hideout with laura and then the 3 of us (cindy, her boyfriend and I) ended up at club home. The place was pretty funky, but I left early and cabfare home cost another 15bucks on top of the 15bucks cover charge. And the very best part was that I didn't have anything much to eat the whole night except for 2 glasses of vodka and coke, a handful of chips, 2 chicken wings and a little bit of the yusheng so I was super hungry by the time I got home around 1plus. Devoured most of the new year goodies left at home while watching some chick flick on cable and I only got to bed around 4.

So that was friday.

And then on saturday, I was startled awake at 9 (@!#^&$%#!#!!!) by dad who cooked porridge and insisted that my whole family wake up and have breakfast together. Usually, I won't mind but I was still shagged from friday night so that put me in a slightly foul mood for the rest of the day.
BUT grapevine last night was awesome fun lar, bryan and marc were supposed to join us but one went home to sleep and the other had guard duty. Nonetheless, the atmosphere was nice, the food was decent and the company was great so we all had a good time. Pity the cousin's going back to brisbane next saturday though, if not we'll definitely do it again some other time.

Anyway, I got home at around 1, slept at 2plus and I had to wake up at 730 for the match this morning. Didn't really feel up to it when the alarm went off in the morning but I realised that I needed the match practice so I forced myself out of the bed. Good thing I went though, since we only had 9 people in beginning so it was 9 vs 11 for first 45 mins. Oh gawd that was fucking tiring especially since I was playing opp this speedy indian guy built like a truck and they were probably one of the best teams we've play against. But we did alright lar, for a chapalang team of our standard, and we were only down 2-0 at the end of the first half. Things got much better in the 2nd half, cos 2 more players arrived and we fell into a comfortable rhythm. Made a couple of chances, scored 2 goals and generally played some of the best football I've seen from us so far. Defended well in set pieces and open play, but pushing up to chase the lead meant that we were left open on fastbreaks and they managed to score a couple of soft goals. Final score was 5-2 I think, but I thought we did pretty well. Granted it wasn't our usual group of players, but we still fought fucking hard.

Playing against them was a lesson in humility mann and I've realised that I really ought to be training harder. I guess I used to be pretty fast, but today I was chasing shadows most of the time. Positioning wasn't fantastic either, and I got caught out a few times by their quick first turn, leaving me red faced and flat footed. Thank goodness I wasn't the direct cause of any goals, or else I'll be damn sad. I shall work harder to improve!

Hahas then I went home, had a quick shower and lunch and went over to veron's place to bai nian. They were all gambling and I was damn tired and sore so I just sat in the corner by myself until eunice came over to talk to me. Then they started playing majong and kent was attempting to teach me how to play but I didn't really get it. I think I must be damn lousy. Hahas.

And then I went to play pool. But by then I was damn dazed already so I couldn't concentrate. Hence, my play was quite fucked up. It was damn funny though, there was this time I pocketed a ball (so it was still my turn) and then I just stood there waiting for my friend to play and I was getting damn annoyed with him 'cos he just stood there staring at me until I realised that I was supposed to continue playing! HAHAHAHAHAHAS.

Yeah, so that's CNY for you. LOL. Ok I realised that I'm ranting but I'm so stoned and I have a lab report to start/finish so I don't care.

Bye bye!

Edit: I'm very depressed now because Manchester United is losing at old trafford to Manchester City which counts as the ultimate humilation and I haven't started on my lab report. Hahas. Ok just kidding, I'm too stoned to be sad. Hence, I'm skipping tmr's morning lecture again. And there's a test in 2 weeks, so wish me luck! Hur. Speaking of which, I need to learn how to be satisfied with 6-7 hours of sleep a day instead of 10 hours because that means I lose 4 hours a day!

Ok I'm going to shut up now. This post is way too long.
