Change your ways

I drank a can of Nescafe iced coffee yesterday. Only because I didn’t have time to make my usual cup of coffee. I felt slightly better when I crushed the tin and disposed it though.

Afterwards, I found Lewis Hamilton promoting Nescafe’s range of canned coffee on the advertisement board in front of the bus stop which is beside my school.

Bollocks.

 

Grand Prix = Great Prize

I bet most of you out there knows what Grand Prix means but to those who don’t, Grand Prix means Great Prize.

Le sigh.

Life is sometimes not fair, is it not?

Then again, c’est la vie.

So, F1 in Valencia last Sunday was okay. Felipe Massa came in first, Lewis Hamilton second and Robert Kubica third. Well done to Felipe. Unfortunately though, Kimi Raikkonen had to pull out of the race 4 laps before finishing because his engine broke down. I don’t know what sound his engine made when it broke down but a lot of smoke emitted from it. Very depressing.

And that’s just the insult to injury, really. Before Kimi’s engine broke, he drove off while the fuel nozzle was still attached to his car causing the refuelling guy to get knocked over. Luckily for the refuelling guy, he only hurt his arm and back.

I hope both Kimi and Felipe will do well for the next race taking place in Belgium. Mmm, Belgian waffles. And yes, I’d fly all the way to Belgium just to eat waffles.

Okay, Arsenal now. We lost against Fulham at Craven Cottage. Yes, Fulham. It’s only 1 - 0 to Fulham but it’s still a loss. I’m still pretty gutted that we lost but I hope this serves as a wake up call for the Gunners. The next match is a Champions League Qualifier against FC Twente at the Emirates Stadium. Come on you Gunners!

N Levels is next week. We aren’t even done with the damned prelims and they want us to sit for the N Levels on September 2nd. That’s like Arsenal playing only one qualifying match against FC Twente and then immediately playing against a random club in the Champions League itself.

By the way, I don’t want to drink Nescafe’s canned coffee any more because Lewis Hamilton’s promoting it. They even have this online game called “Catch Lewis if you can” going on. Now why would I want to catch Lewis? He’s speeding away in a race car for God’s sake. And even if he walks and I’m supposed to “catch” him, I wouldn’t cause I’d be too lazy to. Unless I get a thousand dollars for catching Lewis, I’ll just sit here.

My mum asked why it was Formula 1 the other night. I never knew until today. According to wikipedia, the “formula” in the name refers to a set of rules to which all participants and cars must conform. I always thought Formula 1 meant that the fuel they used was of a number 1 formula.

 

Denmark 0 - 3 Spain

This is the first time I’m a little annoyed that Spain won. But it’s okay, they did win the Euro 2008 tournament so it’d be weird if they lost to Denmark.

The Danes were pretty good in the first half. Nicklas shined but fizzled out eventually. Spain stepped on the accelerator in the second half and then started getting goals. Xabi Alonso with 2 and Xavi with 1.

I noticed that the Danish Dynamites were pretty fierce and rough in that match. I wouldn’t want to get on their wrong side.

Fulham - Arsenal this weekend. I just checked, it’s a pretty late kick off. But it’s on a Saturday. Meh, I’ll see first. If I’m not too tired, I’ll watch it. If I really have no energy to get to the sofa, I’ll sleep in my Arsenal jersey with my Arsenal towel and Arsenal drawstring bag.

Examinations make people sad.

 

Just a puppet on a lonely string

I’m alive and kicking. Take that Syae!

Well, not really kicking, footballers are alive and kicking. I’m just alive and here; doing mundane things like brushing my teeth, drinking coffee, reading newspapers, solving math problems.

Anyway, false alarm. N Level Preliminaries are coming in 8 days. If I posted this yesterday, then the N Level Preliminaries would be in 9 days.

Oh, and false alarm again. Xabi Alonso is in my Spain poster. He’s there, standing behind Alvaro. Iker is no where to be found, but that’s okay because there’s a cut out of La Seleccion and Iker’s there.

School holiday today. Art students from my school have to go back to complete their painting and things. Everyone else is chilling out. School resumes as normal tomorrow. And tomorrow, we’ll be getting back our mock Maths paper. Yay….!

9 days to the Denmark - Spain international friendly. I shall try not to choose sides and just enjoy that match.

 

So many countdowns!

In 2 days time, I’ll be sitting for my N Level Preliminary Examinations.

In 7 days time, the 08/09 EPL [suck it, Barclays] season will begin.

In about 3 weeks and 3 days, the N Level Examinations will commence.

Die examinations. DIE!

I just realised that my Spain poster doesn’t include Iker Casillas or Xabi Alonso.

Yeah, so anyway, school…suck it. School itself is alright actually, it’s just the other elements that makes my class a rather inconducive place to study. I swear not to sound mean or anything like that, but my school is a bit like Arsenal FC. The good teachers left my school like how the good players left Arsenal. Though I wouldn’t really say that Alex Hleb’s that good. All he did was dribble here, dribble there and dribble everywhere. Anyway, of course the teachers aren’t leaving for money, like how Flamster and Hleb did, they’re leaving because of…you know, reasons.

So F1 is coming to Singapore next month. There’ll be a TAG Heuer watch exhibition in Singapore. According to the newspaper cut-out I have in my bag, Kimi Raikkonen will be making a guest appearance. Syae and I are contemplating going. By then, we’ve already finished our N Levels so we’re allowed to go out and have fun. I’d be very happy if I could go. I reckon people will look at us weirdly if we did go though. I mean, why would two 16 year old girls be at a TAG Heuer watch exhibition?

Oh, and look at that, it’s 9th August 2008. Happy 43rd Birthday Singapore.
