Say what?

For the 3rd consecutive day of basketball, I sucked badly.

For the 2nd consecutive day of basketball, I sprained my left ankle.

For the first day of basketball, I finally felt frustrated.

Talk about a bad day gone good gone bad.

It was another lousy day at work today. Everything sucked so bad. I give up…

Then, basketball was GOOD! Our team, consisting of Alvin, Henry, Sasha and myself won most of the games. I shot pretty well, did alright on D most of the time, and the knees were working fine.

Then… when I went back, I found out that my mother had not paid for the SP bill, and thus, the power supply was disconnected.

Great.

Turns out that I was still sick in the morning.

So I messaged my colleague to let him know that I wouldn’t be coming in.

Still didn’t feel too good in the afternoon.

Had lunch at Bishan before heading home.

Saw the skies turn from fiery to dark in a matter of minutes upon reaching home.

Bugger.

Skies cleared up at around 4pm, so I rushed down.

God played the weather prank on us repeatedly.

The second time was the curtain call for everyone.

Went to Junction 8. Had dinner with my girl, Alvin + Tee.

Caught the 9.40pm showing of Shooter, starring one of my favourite fellas, Mark Walberg.

Came back home at around 12++.

Cleaned the terrapin and hamster tank / cage.

Changed the bedsheets.

Bathed.

Now I’m blogging.

Night everyone!

Malaysian teacher caned by principal

KUALA LUMPUR — A Malaysian teacher was dealt a rude shock when she was caned on her backside by the school’s principal, who mistook her for a student, according to state media.

The secondary school teacher said she was dressed in Malay martial arts attire and ushering some students back to their classrooms on Wednesday after extra-curricular activities when she was whacked.

“Suddenly and without asking questions, the female principal who was patrolling the area caned me on the buttocks and also caned several other students,” the teacher was quoted as telling the state Bernama news agency. “I was ashamed because all the students saw the incident.”

The teacher said she has lodged a complaint with Malaysia’s National Union of the Teaching Profession, although the principal has since apologised for mistaking her for a student.

“Although she did not know me because she was transferred to the school two weeks ago, there was no reason not to ask me,” said the teacher.

The union told Bernama it had called on the education ministry to investigate the incident.

A recollection of the week’s events.

Friday

After mahjong the night before (which I went from $20++ down to losing $5 at the end), me and my girl went to St. Joseph’s Church to visit the Stations of the Cross, since it was Good Friday.

After that, we came home to play games online till we got hungry. Then she suggested Pizza Hut.

Had a Couple’s meal, damage done was $53.60.

Then I realised that I was supposed to be fasting on the day itself. Oops.

Saturday

After work, which was the same ol’ boring thing… I came back home and waited for the rain to subside before going to CCC.

As it was raining there, I had almost given up on the possibility of playing ball that day…. until we managed to play at ACS Indoor Court. Had one of the best games of my 2007 life. Running and getting on with the game, making some good shots, and being sorta sturdy in defence. Best part was, I perspired alot!!!

Went to eat after that with gf and Tiger, at Adam Food Market. Didn’t eat though. Just drank 2 drinks.

Sunday

So far today, me and the family went to Church at St. Mary of the Angels. Squeezy pews man.

Whoa….! Some horrific thunder and lightning effects right about now. Goodness…

Alright. That’s it for now. Seeya!

My life is in chaos.

Thanks to the taking over of the restaurant from my sister to my mother (though I do not know who’s story to believe as I was fed with two totally different ones).

Made me pretty sad yesterday night/this morning, as I dealt with the demons in my head, taunting and coaxing me to do certain things, which I brushed off, but not without losing my mental strength. Thanks to that, I had no mood to play games after coming home from watching TMNT with my dear, Alvin and Tee.

Will it ruin my relationship? I don’t know. I hope not.

Anyways, basketball yesterday was a total difference from the week before. We could count the number of people with my fingers, and toes. But it was alright. Still managed to achieve what I came for… Exercise!

Went Newton to have some chow with my girl, Daniel, Alvin and Tee. Spent a bloody $10 for 2 bowls of sliced fish bee hoon! Wth?! So bloody expensive lah! Regretted that purchase. Sigh.

Gym later on at 7. Time to burn those excess fats… BURN BURN BURN!

p.s. Daniel: For your eyes only. My book biatch! =P
