The future's uncertain and the end is always near

Counting down the Highbury days, each home game is getting increasingly emotional. Even a squirrel made its point known when Villareal went over.

When I heard about Wang Bin lao shi it wasn’t exactly the best of timing. I was feeling that way, and the news was hard to digest. It brought back lots of long forgotten memories of teenage angst and delinquency, and how she’d always bothered to talk to me about everything. Sometimes I felt she bothered too much. But how many teachers, or just people in general, could be like that? I did appreciate her, whether she knew it or not. Well, one thing for sure, I’ll always remember her as the one who taught us how to sing Dylan’s “Blowing In The Wind” during music class in Sec 1.

Slow Ride

Yesterday we made our monthly pilgrimage to JB. Same old group plus one more. This time we were much more focused and headed straight to Holiday Plaza for a nice, big lunch in a very cosy Pizza Hut. Pity we didn't get our stuffed crust.

Right after was the main reason for our outing - DVD shopping! Ping Pong brought us to this other place that had more of older titles, and we literally went crazy. All that time spent in the back room, pouring through endless stacks of discs, shortlisting and selecting, while more and more people came into the room till it was impossible to move around.

Lesson learnt: Don't go on a public holiday.

I bought 15 pieces this time, and i realise i've starting becoming the type of DVD buyers that buy a movie not because it's new and they haven't watched it but because they've seen it and just wanna keep it. The keeper type. So damn happy i managed to get Before Sunset, Pulp Fiction, Natural Born Killers, Shawshank Redemption and Trainspotting! Oh and a Ben Folds live concert, too. *happy*

It's crazy cos the group of us in total bought almost 60 pieces. 60!!! It kinda frightened us a bit and we spent much less time and more importantly, money at the video games shop.

After JB it was Winning Eleven madness at E Max. I find that you tend to play like the club you support. Special K scores the kind of goals that's very Arsenal. Something like the kind Pires or Henry sometimes would score. Not too far from the net, a coupla defenders around, a twist and turn before sending the ball home through the defenders. Ping Pong scores the very Steven Gerrard kind of goals. Relatively far strikes. Amit i'm not sure but Special K says he does play like Newcastle. Cool huh, how it really affects your decision making. No wonder Everton fans are so... different.

Oh previously i tried to come up with a list of all-time favourite movies. Like my Top 10, but i just couldn't keep it at 10. After much deliberation, i came up with 17. Actually i'm quite sure there're a couple more i haven't included. Top 20 makes more sense than Top 17, don't you think? I'll let you know again. =)
