And they longed to be free one day

First and foremost, happy 44th birthday Singapore!

August has been ok, so far. I’ve been sitting for a couple of pre-prelim exams [What bullcrap is this?] and counting down the days to my brithday with Azy. I share the same birthday with him and he’s been reminding me the number of days we turn 17. We don’t actually know why we’re so excited but…yeah.

My aunt called me up yesterday. She spoke to me about the things I should do after O Levels or something. She was all “You don’t go working at fast food restaurants and things like that ok?” Then she said if I wanted to work, I should go to one of my uncles cause he owns an art gallery and he could probably give me some clerical work. After I hung up, I thought about my future for a while. I’m turning 20 in three years, and by then my brother will by 30 and my other brother will be 26. My parents will be super old when I’m 20. So old that I can’t mention their age here.

I kinda want to be Paula Malai Ali’s personal assistant at 20 before moving on to bigger things. From what I’ve seen on television and read online, I think Paula’s a fantastic character and I’d very much like to work with her. I don’t know if I’d be a good PA though.

Anyway, a couple of days ago, I realised that September will be coming in a couple of weeks. And that means the Singapore GP will take place in about a month. I won’t be going down to the circuit to watch the race or stalk the drivers as I’ll be busy studying for my O levels [Sure, studying] but for sure the air in Singapore will feel different. They’ve already got advertisements for the Singapore GP on the yellow taxis with that tagline “Nothing Else Comes Close” so I won’t be surprised if they put out the advertisements by mid-August.

Oh yeah, that also means Michael Schumacher will be coming to Singapore. He’s not my hero or anything but it’ll be cool to have him walking around the streets of Singapore and sweating all over the place. That’s what I like about the Singapore GP; all the drivers will be sweaty and they’d all be complaining about how hot Singapore is. My advice to them is to wear less clothes. Walk around topless, no one will mind.

While we’re talking about sports, the 09/10 English/Barclays [some use English, some use Barclays] Premier League is going to start soon. So will the Champions League. Starhub doesn’t have the right to broadcast Champions League matches so I’ll be following that through newspapers and the internet. I’m rather afraid about the football season. Arsenal just lost to Valencia last night and eeep, I’m scared.

All these awful moments

are the reasons why a certain holiday doesn’t exist in my calender.

Go to hell, elderly person.

“I’m not impressed by your perverted mouth breathing”

Transformers was pretty amazing. My heart started beating three times faster than usual whilst watching the movie, that’s got to say something right?

Anyway, the whole cinema was packed with people. Nearly every single seat was taken. Honestly though, if I were one of the people sitting really close to the screens, I’d just wait for another day to watch the film or for the DVD release. Why spend $7.50 and strain your neck? I reckon those dudes out front spent a lot of time looking at the legs of the Autobots and Decepticons.

I don’t want to be a spoiler, so bits and pieces about the movie will be hidden. Click at your own risk.

I’d like to wake up in cave one day and see how it’s like

Mid-year examinations start in 2 days. I hate mid-years, it hurts my brain.

Anyway, it’s been a relatively enjoyable but quiet weekend. My mum went to KL for a business trip a couple of nights ago. It’s kinda quiet without her around the house to nag at me. I’m not saying that I miss hearing her nag, it’s just been quiet. I spent some time studying and some time playing Sims. It was all good, but I didn’t play enough Sims for an update though. In fact, I don’t think there’ll be any updates from Riverblossom Hills for a while.

In sports related news, Arsenal beat Portsmouth 3 – 0 away from home last night. Nicklas Bendtner got 2 goals in the first half and Carlos Vela got another in the second half. Well done, boys!

I’m also missing Formula 1 even though it’s only been a week since I last watched it. And the fact that Formula 1 is introducing the budget cap and Ferrari being all “If you make this compulsory for every team, we quit F1″ about it is frightening me a bit. Because if there’s no Ferrari in F1, then there’s no more Kimi, Felipe [baby], Stefano or Rob!  Sure, a new team could join F1 and Kimi and Felipe could be in that team or I could support Red Bull Racing or something, but it won’t be the same.

Off to read my Geography stuff and then lie down a little. Not feeling to well. More next week when F1 returns to the television.

“It burnssss us!”

I scalded the middle finger and ring finger on my left hand. The middle finger is especially bad. Now I’m typing with only 6 fingers and 2 thumbs.

I knew I should’ve wished for some aloe vera gel at 11:11PM just now.
