Slowly but surely, I'm making my gym membership money's worth.
This time around, I didn't spend too long in the gym.
10mins of sidesteps, 10mins of running and 10mins of weights, that was it.
Oh, and I left my membership card behind too.
Great.

Manchester United 5 Wigan 0
Reactions:
1. When I first saw the starting lineup with Carrick as CB, Gibson as MF, and Berbatov and Hernandez up front, I felt we were abit complacent, was fearing the worst. Luckily I was wrong.
2. Park Ji Sung is bloody awesome when he's on form. One goal, won another penalty and another lung-busting performance.
3. Gibson, even with the win, is not good enough to be in the team, sadly.
4. Wigan were crap, so don't get too carried away.
5. Berbatov is crazy class, so happy for him to have gotten the hat-trick. His first goal showed an aggression unlike what we've seen, and his second showed instinctive class. Nice of Rooney to let him take the penalty too.
6. Valencia is so strong. Glad he's recovered well from his broken foot.
7. We got tons of injuries at the moment and it really doesn't bode well if they continue to pile up. Latest casualty is Evans.
8. Heading into the new year, we're tied on points with Man City. Can't ask for more given out injury list. Wait till City rack up the injuries, or the African Nations Cup, then we'll really pull away.
9. Lindergard has not let in a goal in the Premier League yet. That's an awesome statistic.
10. I hope we buy at least one capable midfielder in January.

840th Blog Post
Do you know how long I've been blogging? Since 24th Feb 2004. That's almost 8 years now.
Got abit nostalgic so decided to read some of my earlier posts.
Sigh.
I had huge fun during my uni days. Days of wanton alcohol and excessive fun. Here's a classic mambo night that I managed to capture in a blogpost way back in '04.
Excerpt:
the male ego is a very fragile but huge one, one that can easily be swayed by sheer machoismo and peer taunting. throw in the fact that we were pumped up for alcohol, and you'd get everyone just trying to verbally outdo the other in regards to just how much each of us can manage.
back to the flaming... so we marched to the bar and ordered our lambourghinis. one each first. $11.50 a pop (normal $23). cheap shit. everyone downs their cuppa pretty simply, till guoxin takes it. he chokes. no go. didn't finish, hongwei finishes it for him. poor sod. so guoxin's out of the picture. he's quite gone and you can see from his face that he's already up there at the higher level waiting for the rest of us.
the frail ego is easily overcomed and we decide a second one would be a piece of cake, i mean honestly i was still feeling quite alright. so leon and i take a double. finished. still good. for a moment i thought i wasted my money not able to feel high after two flamers, but the burning sensation told me the hammer would knock soon. hongwei could'nt find a partner to share a double, so leon takes it with him. 3rd for leon. downs it with ease. wow.
I think back then my blog posts were more amusing and personal compared to now.
Oh well.
We all grow up.
Hopefully I'll continue to maintain this blog for a long long time to come.

Two Out Of Three
Back in school, it used to be that you could always only achieve two out of the following three activities:
1) Study
2) Sleep
3) Play
Now, that has changed to two out of the following three activities:
1) Look after kid
2) Sleep
3) Me time
But there are new joys everyday that I'm grateful for!

Pissin' Weather
These days the weather can only be described with one word: wet.
It's raining almost every day and it's not just a drizzle, it's a flippin' downpour so bad that cars nowadays have to turn on their hazard lights to warn others in the poor visibility.
Alot of places are suffering from flash flooding, although definitely not the same scale as the Orchard Road floods some time back.
Drive safe!

On The Wrong Track
Thurday's MRT breakdown affected some 127,000 people. That's about 2% of the Singapore population.
The worse thing about that breakdown was the poor communication by SMRT to it's staff and to the public. Also their poor EQ toward remedying the situation. Even their comments are so insensitive.
Saturday the system broke down again. And today they've shut the NS and EW lines till 10am. Who's gonna go out like that?
This is the worse public transport breakdown in Singapore's history.
Someone must bear full responsibility and step down for this and our entire grid needs a full review. Some people at the top are getting too complacent.
