saturday morning started hecticly.. looks like my saturday morning will never be unoccupied loh.. whenever i dun have anything on, i'll arrange a badminton session with 'ok hao', junhao, nep etc.. we'll play from 9am to around 12+ or sometimes even 1pm depending on the crowd.. PS came along this time. first time play against him. his smash is quite good.. but i didn't feel i was being outclassed in any way.. the losing margin was often veri small whenever i play against him.

went home for lunch and surfed n rested until the evening 1640h.. went to ssdc for car lesson. learning was smooth n covered another two topics.. now teach until topic 17 le. next lesson will be TOPIC 18: Driving In Observance Of Traffic Rules & TOPIC 19: Circuit Slope. total got around 33 topics liddat.. more than half way thru liao.. here's hoping it all turns out well on that day..

Met up with jm after the lesson. went down to orchard fareast to get jonas his bdae present. kena spotted there by a fren while i didn't even notice her although the alleged distance was ONLY around 4 person distance away.. hmmm.. ain't i so oblivious to the surrounding when i am busy concentrating to find a suitable present for Jonas.

got him a Billabong t-shirt in the end from 77th Street. had a hard time trying to find a S-Size Tee from a couple of stalls before finally deciding on the one at 77th. i got myself 2 Newcastle players figurines at one of the stalls there too! of which my ex-favourite newcastle player Laurent Robert only cost me five bucks!! Jenas cost me 11 bucks and i wouldn't pay for the rest who were available at higher places.. i'll continue to source for cheaper bargains.. afterall i hv a lifetime to add to my Newcastle United collection.. hee =)

met up with jonas only after me n jm got tix for Sin City at Lido. it's been a loooooong time since someone would watch a movie with me in town. the guys are always prefering GV at heartland places.. Bishan J8 or Yishun 10. Lido theatre seemed so big.. it was pretty comfy too..

Sin City is a R21 show. but i got the tix without being asked for ic confirmation. jm too escaped the embarassment of being asked for identification. only jonas kena. and he is older than me.. in fact he was less than 3 hours from being 23 years old when he was approached for identification en route into the theatre..

the show was pretty graphic novel style. it was in black n white thru out.. partly due to the scenes all at night or in dimmed places like bars or back alleys.. they did use the colors to emphasize on certain characters or objects. imagine a black n white setting and the hair of this particular girl would be golden or a car body would be crimson red in a black n white alley background etc..

it's a pretty gruesome show with some topless scenes. nothing too sexual. it was branded r21 prolly coz of the brutal killing in the fighting scenes. but usually they portrayed the blood in white. all the wounds were not graphically shown.. juz plain white in that region. i was wondering how they do it digitally.. wanna learn coz it seems realli useful to emphasize something..

after the movie we went home. slept around 2+..

awoke at 7am upon hearing my handphone alarm. my phobia for my second alarm(which is my pc) got me off the bed everytime. i always need to offset my waking up time by around an hour plus coz i noe i can't resist surfing or fiddling with some stuff of mine.. i brushed up and did my morning surfing then slowly packed my stuff for soccer. the match was supposed to start at 9am.

met the guys 0820h downstairs. kp drove us to Ahmad Ibrahim Sec in his father's van. the field was locked. a caretaker approached us and told us that his upper authority told him to inform us that the field is close coz of the rain ytd. please loh! the pitch looks realli dry loh.. it's not realli water logged at all!! no means no.. so we got his name n number and prepared to make a complain.. argh.. i think they're just trying to scare the guy oni lah..

apparently the referee we employed knew the match was cancelled coz of the closure of the pitch, the opposition team knew about the cancellation of the pitch coz the Sports Council(in charge of renting the pitch n referee to us) had informed the person who booked the pitch(which was from the opposition team). Only we were the 'kukus' at the pitch early in the morning staring at a locked field.. 'lan lan, suck thumb loh!' curse the opposition team who didn't inform us.. Damn..

nothing better to do, we went Casuarina to have prata. woah.. pretty crowded. so many ppl. still loved the prata a lot.. it's my favourite.. i ordered cheese and kosong. forgot to order my personal fav of mushroom cheese prata. urgh.. next time maybe.. reached home and after finding nothing better to do online, did many quizzes before taking a nap.. hee =P my body's all aching from the over stretching during badminton where i played 3 hours almost non-stop.. it's my hamstring and butt that is veri 'sng'..

now i'm awake n feel like going out. but there's no company. michelle is out lei.. woke up then she's missing liao.. dinner also no plans. haiz.. singing to the song... 'Lonely.. i am so lonely.. i have nobody... to call my own...'
