Wow.. Who would’ve imagine FC Porto lifting the trophy for UEFA Champions League Final earlier this morning. No one expected AS Monaco to get a thumping 0-3 defeat but oh well.. it was all unpredictable. I ‘m not really a fan of any of these two clubs but guess I was too bored with nobody online, so I stayed up until 5am in the morning watching the match. Both teams played really well and FC Porto’s solid defense kept AS Monaco at bay.

AS Monaco could have scored a couple of goals if it wasn’t because of the cockeyed linesman who simply raised the flag for offsides even though it wasn’t. Because of that, chances for AS Monaco have been ruled out of play. Alberto of FC Porto opened the deadlock 5 minutes before half-time and the second goal from Deco have already demoralised AS Monaco before the third goal by Alenitchev to win the Champions League.

Hahahaha, oh my goodness. I’m down with football fever already. Euro2004 is just around the corner so that means more football! Oh, and Alan Smith is now officially a Red Devil. Yeahoo.. Can’t wait for the next season of English Premier League. Bewarned Arsenal…. Cause we are going to reclaim the trophy!

And finally, the drought has ended after a heavy downpour here in Klang Valley during the late afternoon. Thunderstorms and strong gusts of winds brought down trees and caused massive traffic jam in Subang Jaya. That left us nowhere else to go but the nearby coffeeshop as our last resort for dinner. Ohohoh, it was pretty darn scary with the sky being so dark already by 4:00pm. Ohohoh, it almost seemed like [i]The Day After Tomorrow[/i], having the thoughts that the world and mankind is going to extinct.

*Shudders* Tonight is going to be one breezing cold night to sleep with even without the air-conditioner. Ohohoho! Thank goodness I’ve not joined my National Service friends for the mini gathering at Midvalley today or else it’ll be a major headache just to get a taxi back here in Subang Jaya during the evening. No car to drive so will have to rely on public transports in the mean time.

Tsk tsk.. Gotta go now. Ciao all.

[b]Artist:[/b] Hoobastank
[b]Song:[/b] The Reason

[i]I’m not a perfect person
As many things I wish I didn’t do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I’ve found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I’m sorry that I hurt you
It’s something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
Thats why i need you to hear

I’ve found a resaon for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is You [x4]

I’m not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I’ve found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I’ve found a reason to show
A side of me you didn’t know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you[/i]

Hm… now this song has been stuck in my head for weeks, right from the beginning of the month when I came back from National Service! But it is truly meaningful… And I would like to dedicate this song to someone very special. Well.. The lyrics of the song says it all..

Back to the reality ..
Argh! Bored bored bored bored. I’m rotting at home. Help me!

Alas… A consolation piece of silverware for Manchester United after crushing 1st Division Milwall Football Club 3-0 in the FA Cup Finals. Now THIS is the game that we, the red devil fans enjoy watching. Manchester United controlled most of the game with fabulous teamwork, passings and few great attempts especially the one by Roy Keane. Christiano Ronaldo’s performance was sublime and no doubt he should be voted the man of the match instead of Ruud Van Nistelrooy. Ronaldo shed light after heading in the first goal, which I didn’t manage to see cause I was out to buy KFC for supper. Argh!

What a big sigh of relief for the Red Devils after going through a disastrous season. Next on, Michael Schumacher’s dream to win the first six grand prixs’ races has been wrecked after crashing his car in the speed tunnel. The final stage of the race was filled with excitement as Jarno Trulli won the Monte Carlo Grand Prix with Jenson Button came close in tailing behind Trulli towards the finishing line. w00t~! Many fans would be delighted that Michael Schumacher didn’t get to stay on track for the pole.

As for yesterday, woke up at 9:30am in the morning and drove down to Midvalley for a mini gathering with friends I made during the National Service Programme. Not many turned up but nevertheless, we had an enjoyable time together. Left my house at 10:30am and went to fill up the petrol tank for my sister’s car. Reached there around 11am and the queue of the cinema was already unthinkable. That means we didn’t get to watch any of the movies and ended up playing Pool in Brewball instead.

We had lunch at Sushi King and then back to Brewball after window shopping with Chaang Yaw. Went back home around 5:00pm and waited for Yew Jin and Joel to come down Subang Jaya for dinner. Joel sent Yoke Kim back to Kajang with Yew Jin sitting beside him and Joel was driving on the road without a valid license! Ohohoho… Thank goodness he made it back home safely. Had Nandos for dinner and surprisingly Yaw spent me an ice-cream cone! Ohohoh!

Yew Jin overnighted at my place last night. Was supposed to wake up at 9:30am for pork mee but we ended up sleeping until 2:00pm instead. Erk.. And my brother wanted to get a suit and pants for business purposes so we went to Midvalley AGAIN. Hahaha.. It’s a Sunday so the place was damn packed and stuffy! Had Mcdonalds for lunch and then Beef Noodles Soup for dinner at the Little Vietnam Restaurant. Yew Jin left Midvalley at 5:10pm and took a cab to the Pudu Bus Station. Just miss called me to show that he’s back in Taiping safely.

Came back home around 7:30pm and watched Naruto anime! Woohoo! But my brother only managed to get 3 episodes and we were done with it in an hour time. Now I’m stuck in episode 84 and god-knows-when I’ll be able to watch the next episodes! It’s already reached the climax and Sasuke has finally met up with his brother. Argh! Can’t wait no more! Will just have to finish up the 28 episodes of Full Metal Alchemist to keep my mind off from Naruto for a while.

Ohohoh. So that rounds up everything that happened during my weekend. And last but not least.. Are you a car enthusiast? Ever dreamt of driving down the street with a gorgeous chick by your side in a car with 5.1 dolby digital, two 10″ LCD monitors, DVD players and loads of other gadgets? Watch out for MTV’s Pimp Your Ride with Xzibit being the host and he’ll bring your car to West Coast Customs workshop and fine tune your wrecked car. 100% Satisfaction guaranteed! Those people at the West Coast Customs really do wonders. Check it out yourself.. Now PIMP MY RIDE!

Erk. I have been very lazy ever since I came back from National Service. Now that I’m back into my ordinary life and there’s nothing much to keep me occupied these days. Online has been dead boring cause everyone’s busy with college and mid term examinations are just around the corner. So I glued myself in front of the TV playing Final Fantasy X-2. Argh!

And damn, where is my camera phone when I needed it most!? I desperately need one of them. Never in my life have I come across a nine year old kid who can drive so much better than any other players out there in Daytona U.S.A (The game may be outdated but heck with it). This is based on a true story which I really think is hilarious. Went to Pyramid last week together with Eugene and Joel. Chaang Yaw was there too.

Eugene decided to challenge Joel in a game of Daytona so there we went to the Playworks and got their coins changed. And came to my surprise, a kid was playing as well and he drifts like nobody else do. His feet could hardly reach the pedals and yet he drives like Michael Schumacher. What’s next? Hehe, you’ll be surprised. He challenged Joel and Eugene…… and he actually won! Joel and Eugene were both speechless and they felt so lost all of a sudden.

I didn’t know what to say either.. and the fact that I can’t really drive WELL, but at least I’m still having a clean sheet with no records while driving on the road. Hehe!

Watched Van Helsing with my family at Sunway Pyramid yesterday. Hmm… Well, it’s action packed and I really like the soundtrack. Somehow, it reminded me of those 8-bit games we used to play on Sega Genesis. Ohohoh. Can’t say the CGIs breathtaking cause certain scenes seemed a little too ..fake, and I bet that 69% of the whole movie are made out of polygons!

Will be watching Troy next monday cause National Service candidates have special promotion price on that particular day. Hmmm, I’m so glad to be part of the National Service Programme.. And that was the whole 3 months which I lived an extraordinary life!

Oh well, gotta run… Take care and ciaos.

Holy cow… I’m so freaking dizzy right now after spending half of the day flipping through one big stack of newspapers. Decided to take a break from using the computer today and browsed through the archives for articles regarding National Service Programme since I left. Hmmm, quite a number of interesting articles. Will have to cut it all out and keep in a safe place for reference in the coming future. Ohohohoh… I so miss life during NS *cries*

Had Nandos for dinner AGAIN at Subang Parade moments ago.. And my nose bleed all of a sudden. Eish, spoiled my appetite only after that. Hmmm.. nothing much today. Will be going out for yum cha session with fellow Drivelers. Ohohoh, it’s been a while since we last sat down at the same table and talk cock. If possible, we might be spending the night at Club 7 also for pool and foosballs, that is .. if there are tables available. It’s Friday night and everyone’s out at the streets!

Boo hoo hoo… And I was irritated by this specific guy who actually got the guts to rip my blog entry on the 10th of May off and posted it into his site instead. He even ripped off the tagboard from Nick’s blog! OMFG… Oh well, I never knew that Nick is also part of the Unlinked Community until he messaged me last night. Hahaha! It’s a small world [i]wide web[/i] after all~

Alright gotta go now… Take care y’ all.

[b]Edit:[/b] Fellow visitors. You might wanna check out this article. . Thong Kai is also part of Unlinked Community and never knew about his true identity until I read today’s newspaper. I must say that I’m really touched by his article.. And really helps to boost my confidence. If Thong Kai can succeed in life, why can’t I? Thanks a lot for the inspiration you have given to me, Botakai. Smile always! =)

Argh… My brother just got himself a Nokia 6230 and I’m so jealous of him right now! Really nice phone… Sleek design, packed with cool features. Damn, can’t wait to get my hands on one of these as well!

Hmm, just feeling a bit curious but then, have any of you guys seen Linkin Park’s new videoclip - Breaking the Habit and Britney Spear’s Everytime?

Today is hell boring. Screwed up weather makes me feel unwell throughout the whole day. Boo hoo hoo.

Are you an action horror game enthusiast? Finished Resident Evil in less than 3 hours and think it isn’t scary at all? If yes, allow me to introduce you to this not-so-new game that will send electromagnetic waves down your spine and raises every single goosebump available. Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterflies guarantees 100% satisfaction to people who loves taking pictures (Excluding me!) Well, this might be old news but heck with it.

Had dinner at Rasa Thai in Subang Parade last night. Bought Final Fantasy X-2 (Yes, I’m outdated..), Colin Mcrae Rally 4 (Stupid hell, it sucked shit), Fatal Frame 2 (Ahh…) and Transformer: Armada. Tee hee hee, at least now I’ve got something to keep me occupied for the next few weeks. Never play Fatal Frame 2 at night cause chances of wetting your pants are freaking high! My brother and I played Winning Eleven 7 after that just to refresh the mind a bit..

Started off the day with prawn mee for breakfast. Woke up at about 10:30am in the morning cause brother was back already and he ought to bring me down to Cyberjaya to check out LUCT (Lim Kok Wing University College of Creative Technology *phew*). I must say that it’s damn bloody hot in the building! Must’ve been the cause of the black paintings which turns out to be very good heat absorbant. Moreover, the building is damn freaking huge that my brother and I got lost when we first reached there. We had to ask for directions cause the signs weren’t very helpful.

Then came the counselling part.. which I hated the most. I went there with lots of questions but then suddenly blank when approached by the counseller. Argh! Anyway, my brother was there to ask all the necessary questions already so… oh well *Sighs* I just sat down there and nod my head only. Ohohoho, and I came across these plastic models wearing the uniforms for National Service Programme. I was like “Whoah… I have all these” Damn I was proud! And a piece of info for those who didn’t know, the uniforms for NS are solely designed by students of LUCT.

Brother then drove me to the MMU (Multimedia University) which is not very far away from LUCT… Just about 5 minutes drive. That place looks impressive in the first glimpse. Spacious, green and simple! The architecture is towards minimalistic.. but then the students over there… It’s like so few! We had troubles finding the consultation room as well and no one attended us at all after having to walk round and round for 15 minutes trying to look for it. This already gave us a bad impression and so we just left the place.. Bro was disappointed.

Hehehe, guess I’ll be going to LUCT anyway.. Came back at about 4pm and took a short nap until dinner time! Wowee… Interesting. Now all I have to do is bring my dad to the campus itself and impress him. Can’t wait to start college! I’m rotting back at home! Well, as I said… at least there’s Final Fantasy X-2 to keep me occupied for a few weeks… But then my holidays are far from over! 11 weeks more to go! :S

Oh well… Be right back.
