My Last Entry

2006-08-31T10:17:00.000+08:00

After 2 longs years, i have decided to retire this blog.i have simply lost all zest and inspiration to blog on here, and its beginning to feel like a chore.So just like in a relationship between a man and woman, or a man and a man, or man and his dog, when things are't working out between both parties(in this scenario,me and my blog), it is time to put an end to it to serve the best interests of all concerned. Ofcourse that doesn't mean i have stopped blogging altogether. i have shifted my attention to a new blog me and my "acquaintances of convenience" just started on recently. All posts of mine from henceforth will feature on http://antivbrigade.wordpress.com/ . so that's that. i am sorry if my final post on here came across as a little subdued or anticlimactic,...but hey, this not the end...just a new beginning. ;)

THERE IS A LIGHT THAT NEVER GOES OUT

2006-08-18T00:00:00.001+08:00

Take me out tonight
Where there's music and there's people
Who are young and alive
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one anymore

Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people
And I want to see life
Driving in your car
Oh please don't drop me home
Because it's not my home, it's their home
And I'm welcome no more

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes in to us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well the pleasure, the privilege is mine

Take me out tonight
Take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
And in the darkened underpass
I thought Oh God, my chance has come at last
But then a strange fear gripped me
And I just couldn't ask

Take me out tonight
Oh take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one
No, I haven't got one

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes in to us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well the pleasure, the privilege is mine

There is a light that never goes out
There is a light that never goes out
There is a light that never goes out
There is a light that never goes out

WHEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

2006-06-20T16:53:00.000+08:00

it's been awhile eh....haw haw! i don't really have much of an excuse for not posting on here other than that i have been a lazy cunt and well simply put, i have lost my zest for blogging. That doesn't necessarily mean this blog is nearing its point of extinction...far from it. Its demise though inevitable will surely be prolonged as long as i'm alive and kicking...and no, i'm not going to kick the bucket anytime soon. So you fuckers out there who hate my guts( last i counted the numbers have shot up to little more than a few hundred thousand) with your voodoo dolls and bomoh assisted curses, you've a long wait you miserable bastards! i apologise for the overwhelming amount of profanities being carelessly thrown about on this post...i guess i am just a little over excited after my long hiatus. I promise to display a little more self control in my subsequent posts, though i don't suppose that will be any time soon, which would consequently mean another outburst of expletitives the next time i feel like i need to come on here to express myself.

Few of the idiots who i refer to as my friends have gone on holidays overseas. One to California, and the other to India(rajasthan i assume). We'll miss you here vikram. Football just isn't the same without you...for better or for worse...*cough*. As for my "friend" who's confused about his ethnic roots, get your arse back here as soon as possible eh...I WANT MY BRAND NEW LEVIS!!!!! But ofcourse that is not to say you aren't missed as well....err for...err reasons which i can't think of at present..err due to my err...catatonic state of mind..err yeah.. that's my excuse for the day.

Anyways, thank god for the World Cup to help maintain my sanity(some would question that...ok a little more than some), otherwise i would have flipped it and would have to be admitted to a nut house. This World Cup thus far has definitely looked far more promising than the last few. Lots of great goals and some truly outstanding football played. Argentina were out of this world against the hapless Serbians who must have wished the game ended at half time as they were meticulously toyed with before being mercilessly dispatched. That 24 pass move that resulted in the 2nd goal was the stuff of fantasy football that one would have trouble replicating on Winning Eleven nevermind on a football pitch . In a World Cup in which Brazil has yet to live up to its reputation in terms of performances( the likes of Ronaldhino and Adriano have looked ordinary, while Ronaldo has simply been atrocious) , it is a welcome relief that Argentina have stepped up their game and play more "Brazilian" than the Brazilians themselves! And ofcourse one cannot stop waxing lyrical about Ghana's performance against the Czechs perhaps marred a little by the tactical ineptitude and plain studpidity of some of their forwards. The next time i see that clown Ping Pong or whatever his name is take to the field, i swear i will break something....useless waste of space that he is. Anyway, thanks to that win, we can expect a cracking game between the Italians and the Czechs. And i can't wait to see Ghana kick the shite out of the americans...haw haw! that would be a highly entertaining amd hugely satisfying game! As for England, i can only hope they will redeem themselves against the Swedes after 2 of the most mindnumbingly dull performances i've seen at the World Cup.Fortunately for them, they are placed in a relatively easy group and have managed to scrape some arguably undeserved wins.They'll get torn apart though by a half decent side, and sweden will prove to be a much sterner test than Paraguay und Trinidad and fuckin Tobago!. Now, we'll just have to wait and see how that game turns out.

There a few upcoming movies i'm looking forward to. One would be the long awaited return of Superman on celluloid, Superman Returns and the other a swedish horror flick Frost Bite. I fully expect Superman Returns to blow X-men: The Last Stand away to the distant realms where functional but forgettable films(i'm being kind here) are condemned for eternity. I may seem a little too over confident of the prospect of Superman Returns being good. But that is a testament to the amount of faith i have in director Bryan Singer to conjure up a memorable high quality film worthy of his reputation. As for Frost Bite, i don't know a great deal about the film, nothing actually, but i am curious. Plus i have developed a fetish for foreign films which i reckon are usually superior to the average film hollywood dishes out with such alarming regularity. Currently there aren't many decent films showing at the theatres(which can be a good thing when one is low on financial resources). This is probabaly the worst period of the year for quality films...what one would describe as a "lull period" for movie goers. The last film i watched on the big screen was a local film Love Story ,directed by err forgot the bloke's name, which is excellent by any standards. Perhaps a little too arty , slow paced and dense for mainstream viewers, the film is a highly engaging mind bender. Unlike the usuall hollywood popcorn flick, you aren't supposed to leave your brain at the door. In fact you are encouraged to bring it along in a highly alert state. Take that as my piece of advice if you ever intend to watch this film.

well, i guess i have run out of things to say, and will end it here. Be sure to check back for my next post which will make its way in another few hundred years...till then...err toodles?!!

Tribute to Liverpool Football Club

2006-05-14T16:05:00.000+08:00

The following is a masterpiece i stumbled upon recently which accurately describes liverpool football club and it's adoring fans.I dedicate this to them for their recent FA cup victory.

You never win 'em pal. You just score a few penalties after drawing the
game.
There's a place we know where Scousers go
and it's always lots of fun
you can have a laugh at many things
if you're ready with a pun

You can mock the dead of Munich
be glad that George Best's dead
you can sing a dozen funny songs
of Duncan Edward's head

You can hope that Gary Neville
gets cancer and he dies
throw ammonia at Whiteside
and hope it blinds his eyes

You can even stone an ambulance
where Alan Smith is lying
even if it doesn't overturn
it's bound to be fun trying

You can talk of many pleasant things
with your like-minded mates
but you'll pause to show such reverence
as you pass the Shankly Gates

Where every single Scouser
who ever passed away
must be honoured and respected
have their own special day

Cos Scousers are a special breed
their hearts upon their sleeve
they ask the country to join in
and watch them as they grieve

They celebrate and they respect
each Scouser who departs
t hey ask that we can shed their tears
and nurse their broken hearts

Yet mention dead of anyone
who doesn't fit their own
they laugh out loud there is no shred
of honour ever shown

They laugh at young men dying
on runways filled with ice
and celebrate that Munich day
and never would think twice

of mocking Harold Shipman's dead
that lived within our city
these wallowers in plastic grief
the masters of self pity

They wave their tin foil silverware
and throw cups filled with shit
to shower on opposing fans
but never will admit

It's "justice for the 96"
but never 39
It's grieving for 'poor' Michael Shields
but not for Heysel dying

It's always everybody else
they're not the ones to blame
it was *Rentboys*, Yorkshire coppers
it's always been the same

We've all shed tears as 96
lay dying on the floor
but our sympathy has long since died
we'll grieve with you no more

2006-04-29T23:35:00.000+08:00

i am annoyed. i had the post all typed out, and a browser error caused everything to be erased. i can't be arsed to type it all again.

The basic gist of the post was regarding chelsea's 3-0 win over manchester united, which confirms that they retain the scudetto...i mean the league title. i also had noted that despite the gulf in class between the both sides, united had managed to put up a decent effort to push chelsea to the last 3 games (even if it was simply delaying the inevitable) without a fuckin midfield. I also questioned the standard of the league, that we managed to do this with a failed leftback and an ageing winger being employed in midfield, lying above arsenal and especially liverpool who have a superior midfield.Though ofcourse, with 2 games left, we still can finish 3rd if we don't show enough strength in character to win atleast 1 of the last 2 games.

Next season, with a few additions in midfield, we ought to push chelsea closer, though it might not be enough to wrest the title back. Chelsea's billions or rather Abramovich's billions ensure that there is no level playing field in terms of spending power.(they have a 22 million pound winger on the bench for fucks sake!) We simply have to hope that they implode with ego clashing( potential dressing room unrest in the making especially with the expected arrival of ballack) or that Abramovich suddenly disappears from the face of the earth.

Observers claim that united is a one man team because of over reliance on Wayne rooney, or that Arsenal are a one man team because of a certain Theirry Henry. But the real one man team in the EPL, has and will always be Chelsea. Take that russian billionaire out of the picture (preferably by non fatal means), and they are fucked in more ways than one. It is as simple as that....

Ok..maybe not.

Anyway, we have come to the stage of the season where i make my cup predictions. Please do note that i got my predictions for last season absolutely spot on, and that i demand to be taken seriously ;)

FA Cup : Liverpool (no brainer really...benitez is a masterful tactican especially in these kind of competitions.
Expect alot of boring but ultimately effective football from the scouse inbreds)
European Cup: Arsenal ( simply because these days the best teams don't win cup competitions...and because
barcelona aren't destined to add to that one european cup that puts them on par with
ASTON VILLA!!!)
UEFA cup: Middlesboro ( God didn't gift them with their late comebacks for nothing...it will be a fuckin pity if
they fail to win it after all that drama)

A month is just a period of 30 to 31 days....28 if its febuary. Patience my most adored and respected readers. .I am currently uninspired and lack the motivation to blog about anything and everything.I don't suppose the need to review a novel exceeds my need to come to terms with my personal woes.Oh, and please stop imitating me on my tag board, whoever and whatever that is. I don't make such pathetic rebuttals that fall far short of even an idiot's response. If you you feel the need up yourself by posting using my identity, please do so with a more accurate and convincing portrayal of my mannerisms and expression. It will be much appreciated, thank you.

V for Vendetta

2006-03-19T01:05:00.000+08:00

So, i went into this film with 7 other cunts,one cunt went missing,wondering if it would be a masterpiece faithful to its source material like Sin city ,a butchered sanitised drivel engineered to please the masses(and still fail) like The League of Extraordinary Gentleman, or something that falls inbetween like Batman Begins(widely accalimed, but somehow just doesn't blow me away). The truth of the matter is, i could not pass judegment in the same manner as i did with those movies simply because i never read the original V For Vendetta. So i simply assessed the movie in its own terms without measuring its worth by comparing it to the highly accalimed Alan Moore graphic novel.
Well, i came off the theater feeling i had witnessed a very good movie, but disappointed that it failed to achieve the greatness it had the potential for.It just lacked that extra bit of spark, to elevate it above to the level of a Sin City, which in my opinion still remains the best graphic novel ever to be commited to celluloid, or a History Of Violence.The overall consensus amongst the fanboys is that movie managed to capture the essence of its graphic novel counterpart, even if it is laden with inaccuracies,as well as being tweaked and updated a little to be more in tune with the current times.
Natalie Portman(delicious even with a shaved head) was competent in her role, though not nearly as good as she was in Closer, perhaps hampered by her struggle with the british accent. Hugo Weaving was impressive as the masked terrorist as were the predominantly British cast consisting of such vetrans like John Hurt(Elephant man himself) and Stephen Fry (the looney colonel from Black Adder) They could have done without the slo-mo matrix inspired fight scenes which was a little too stylized and over the top for my purist taste.It seemed like a blatant attempt by the Waichowski brothers to remind us of their involvement...attention seeking knobs!
I have yet discuss the controvesial aspect of the film which revolves around the main character who is well... gasp...a terrorist. The Waichowski brothers, attention seeking gits they might be, have to be given credit for having the bottle to take on such a project in the current post 9/ll era.But no worries, this movie is by no means a justification or celebration of terrorism. To view it as such would instantly qualify an individual to be labelled at the very least as superficial, pedantic and misguided ,in my own humble tounge-in-cheek opinion ofcourse.This film is not going to inspire more planes to come crashing down on skyscapers all over the world.(though it would be probably benefical to mankind if one such plane came hurtling down over anfield on match day) The story pays tribute to the ideals, not the methods employed to make these ideals a reality.The main crux of this tale revolves around the ideology that one ought to be able to think for oneself to shape one's own destiny rather than to be shepherded like blind sheep.One just hopes that this underlying message doesn't get lost and buried under all the controvesy and notoriety that the film has generated.

BOOKS!

2006-03-04T23:01:00.000+08:00

I have decided to review novels.Yes, you eyes don't fail you. You are reading it right. I know it's a shock. I had heart palpitations just before i began typing, cause it was overwhelming even for myself. I am not known to be usually fazed by things. But this does. After all, right from day 1 of its inception, this blog has never once been utilised for this purpose.This a sign of things to come. This blog is heading in a whole new direction, for better(unlikely)or for worse.(probably) 'REVIEWING BOOKS? YOU MUST BE FUCKIN OUT OF YOUR MIND'- i can imagine the myriad of thoughts streaming through the consciousness of my faithful blog readers. Yeah, most people identify me with being a movie buff ( most of them wish i'd just shut up on my opinion on movies and to keep my aggressive critical faculties in check), and to an extent a music lover (so i'm a bit of musical snob...well i'm sorry i have better taste than you cunt!). But very little take me for a literary sort, which is not far from the truth. I couldn't have read more than a dozen books throughout my teenage years (that's including my literature text at secondary level), unless ofcourse like someone once quipped, " graphic novels count as books".Now that i have read loads...haw haw!
I must confess though that my recent fascination with books( as recent as last year) was sparked by ironically the worst of them and without a trickle of a doubt the most overrated and overhyped "literary tripe"to have graced our book stores in recent times. .Credit though has to be "thrown at" where it's deserved, even of it's with expressed with a tinge of reluctance. But surely any book that has managed to fool an entire host of the most literarily vacant degenerates to pick it up and actually read it from start to finish deserves all the plaudits it gets, even if it's the biggest "literary con job"of the 21st century. Millions were fooled by the hype and controvesy surrounding the subject material (myself included). Million others indirectly fooled by the documentary which in the "effort" to shed some light on the controvesy surrounding it, served only to only heighten its value of interest. But ofcourse this little "literary deception" is far from over. When the movie based on it finally makes it way on to the big screen (i am not complaining. Why would i? no self respecting movie buff could possibly resist the thespian skills of artistes such as Audrey Tautou and Paul Bettany),millions more will inevitably be bamboozled. For those of you sickened by the sight of the thick paperback with the stylistically printed words The Da Vinci Code & Dan Brown and who have developed a "literary allergy" to all things Dan Brown and such like, i say "brace yourselves you poor bastards! This is only the beginning of your woes". Be prepared for an all out assault on the "literary senses" by every book store( from Borders to Times) in town come mid-year... haw haw haw!

2006-02-28T11:00:00.000+08:00

ok..so we thumped Wigan 4-0 and made it look easier than it was. While it would have been a disaster to go trophyless another season, winning the carling cup isn't going to be enough to mask what the daftest amongst us knows we're lacking... a fuckin midfield! Giggs did a decent job playing out of his natural position, and contributed vastly, not least when he weaved his way through a cluster of wigan players and delivered the perfect cross field pass hwich led to the 2nd goal. But, let's not get carried away here. Giggs isn't a central midfielder and he's a stop gap measure more than anything else. As for O'shea, words fail to describe how magnificently shamblic he was in the middle of the park. You have to give the lad credit though for being consistent though. He always somehow manages to be the worst player on the pitch, even when we're murdering the opposition. JUST HOW DOES HE DO IT?!! Ok,..i'll cease to moan further and concentrate on the positives. Rooney and Ronaldo were once again magnificent while Park hardly put a foot wrong. Saha was always a threat and helped himself to a lucky but deserved goal. I am just a little disappointed for Rooney that he didn't manage a hattrick...he definitely deserved it. He was running up and about the pitch like a nutter in the dying minutes of the game though the result was beyond doubt. You've gotta love the fella.Winning the Carling Cup is a welcome consolation, but that is all it is. Nothing more...oops there i go again. Sorry! Find it hard not to be cynical in these difficult times. Well, now all i'm hoping for is a good 2nd placed finish, and not too many points behind the Rent Boys...oh and ofcourse a trophyless season for the scouse vermin ;)

Gutted!

2006-02-19T00:02:00.000+08:00

An absolute fuckin disaster. 4-4-2 with 3 wingers and Fletcher!! in midfield. Ferguson's tactics fucked. Fletcher!! Midfield fucked.No Ferdinand. Defence fucked. Beanpole Scores.(NOW HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?!!) Pretty much everything fucked. Smith's ankle fucked.OUCH!!! Vanquished 1-0 at Anfailed. FA Cup Fucked. Nothing but "Worthless" cup to play for. We are well and truly fucked....

2006-02-15T17:58:00.000+08:00

It's been awhile since i reviewed any movie hasn't it. That hardly means i haven't watched any ofcourse. Mr movie buff here lives, breathes and bleeds celluloid. Not that i'd subject myself to all manner of crap(ok, from time to time, a bit of crap is not too harmful to the system). I pride myself for being an individual of impeccable taste... i am sorry if it sounds a tad cockyor perhaps a tiny bit too self assured, but it's true...It is truth in its purest form if it is ever found possible for 'truth' to exist in various shades of integrity. Anyways i'll commit the following passage to reflect on a recent flick that i managed to catch at the theatres with a bunch of cunts i sometimes refer to as my friends, or as Dhino would like to put it, "aquaintances of convenience".

'Jarhead' is Sam Mendes' third feature length film following the supposedly overrated masterpiece(deliberately contrived contradiction) that is 'American beauty', a film even a movie connoisseur such as myself has unfortunately never seen, and the graphic novel inspired 'Road To Perdition'. 'Jarhead' has received mixed reviews from all quarters. The general opinion is that it's an accurate realistic portrayal of soldiers involved in the gulf war(which is a bit of a no-brainer since the movie's based on a book written by a gulf war veteran whose character's played by one half of the gay duo from 'Brokeback Mountain'). But the naysayers argue that the lack of action and intensity of the 'Full Metal Jacket' or 'Saving Private Ryan' variety is detrimental to a film that's superficially regarded a "war flick". Well, to begin with,'Jarhead' was never meant to be all out actioner in which audience get to gawk at iraqis getting blown to bits by 50 different 'Hollywood' inspired methods. As it was in the actual Gulf war, the ground troops hardly got any "action" anyway. The intention and main focus of the film was aimed at how the american soldiers coped with doing "nothing" during their extended stay in the desert waiting for the "action" that never came. A "war flick" which is in fact a character study with little or no action sequences will almost always be a disappointment to the masses. Having said that, i do not disagree that the film deserves some of the flak it gets. Apart from some great acting, snappy one liners which may or may not have been extracted from the original source material, beautiful cinemtography(almost a given in a Sam Mendes film) and exquisite soundtrack(a good soundtrack is almost always guranteed to raise a film's actual worth...it worked wonders for 'Lord of War'), 'Jarhead' can be a frustrating movie to sit through at certain junctures, and may be a tad too long drawn and dull for an average viewer who goes in without knowing what to expect.

On a side note, 'Jarhead', for better or worse has managed to inspire some members of the Clan to err... "jump on the bandwagon". 'Jar head" novel, 'Jar Head' soundtrack, 'Jar head' inspired msn nicks , and fookin hell, even 'Jar Head' inspired haircuts seem to be the current fad. So i suppose it's fair to say, the movie has managed to have some kind of effect on some of its viwers, disregarding the director's orginal intentions.... haw haw!

80 percent of scousers have had sex in shower...

The other 20 haven't been to prison.

Punched!

2006-02-06T00:08:00.000+08:00

you know,..i had almost forgotten what good punch on the side of my pretty face feels like. It must have been 4 years ago , back during the crazy days of National Sevice when i received my last blow. I can't remember the actual details and build up of which led to that incident as i was involved in quite a few punch ups then. Yeah, i know,... it's hard to swallow...but it's true... honest. Puny sized me has a capacity for violence. haw haw!

Well anyways, a few days ago i got walloped( a result of some unfortunate exchange of unpleasantries of the physical nature playing football) ....so i just thought i'd let you know....haw haw!Didn't have much a chance to return the favour cause the bloke walked off, which is probabaly a good thing since standing at 6ft god knows what, a retaliation like that would have consequently led to the fella polishing the concrete floor with my face. And honestly, i wouldn't want to ruin my pretty face with cuts and bruises would i? No..it would be disastrous to my smooth complexion...ok ok... so its no exactly smooth top begin with.

Anyways, on a more serious note, some individuals there probbaly thought i deserved it for the overtly aggressive nature of my play which borders on what is laughably construed to be "savage" and "maniacal". yes, footballers do have a propensity for humour, even if its largely unintentional. Well these comedians ought to switch to playing something more attuned to their femininity like touch rugby or picking daises from the school garden...fuckin pansies... I say these words with an utter disrespect and contempt for such cunts veiled by a tinge of sardonic humour to conceal my deeply rooted annoyance. It's fuckin football laddies (or ladies), it's only ever meant to be played one way...

Having said that, i probabaly deserved the punch. But only because i shouldn't have shoved the big bloke in the first place. It was a sign of succumbing, of capitulating to the circumstances which was spawned by own medicine. A moment of madness which was completely out of character for me... but hey.. what a right hook!...It got my adrenaline pumping. It should have been a prelude to more exciting battles and gut wrenching tackles....but all of that turned out to be a pipe dream. Simply because no one wanted to play football. You see, it's all for fun and recreation..which means it has to be played in the right "friendly" spirit. So what we ended up playing what was a severely diluted stripped down form of the game which bore little resemblance to the spirit of the actual game. We played "football".

United 1 Scouse Inbreds 0

2006-01-28T09:42:00.000+08:00

i know this is almost a week late, but i haven't actually managed to find the time to post on here. But i still feel i need to get certain things off my chest! First of; FUCK YOU, YOU SCOUSE TWATS! 15 YEARS AND COUNTING YOU OVERACHIEVING PILE OF STEAMING SHITE! You can take that plastic treble and that european cup won under dubious circumstances and stick it up your bollocks!... cough *composes myself*...so anyways, that was a wholly satisfying result. To think that the scouse bastards had their best team in 15 years on the pitch against what was the worst united side to turn out in that same period, their efforts to win the game bordered on the laughable. Ambitionless, dull and devoid of imagination, the United teams from a few seasons ago would have run amok and torn thsoe fuckers apart. Xabi Alonso world class? you're having a laugh! A "world class" passer does not make a world class footballer!! In any case, none of that "world class" passing was evident on sunday. And where was stevie fuckhead Gerrad? Another one of his disappearing acts performed flawlessly. It's after witnessing a performance of such incompetence , that one appreciates the full comedic value of misguided statements like "He's Keane's replacement!", or "He's better than Roy Keane!"...haw haw haw! FUCK OFF YOU IGNORANT COCKS! ROY KEANE WOULD HAVE WALKED THAT GAME!

Dhino seemed overjoyed over the recent news that the fat arsed scouse twat Robbie Fowler's rejoining Liverpool. I found his excitement perplexing, accompanied by a tinge of amusement. A Liverpool man who became an evertonian, and now finds delight in fowler ,who was a blue nosed cunt himself, going back to his old club. Once a turn coat, always a turncoat. It seems to apply to fans and footballers alike. I say line them up radges and shoot them! Rid the footballing community of these vile parasites!Anyway, Benitez must be off his head if he thinks Fowler is the solution to the impotency that afflicts his strikeforce(and it's not just the in ability to score goals i'm talking about). That fat arsed cunt is wayyyyy passed it, and even a scouser spotting the most red tinted glasses can see that...except for one evertonian ofcourse ;)

Quote of the month : " Stop Jumping on the *fill in the blanks* bandwagon"

2006-01-22T00:41:00.000+08:00

Greetings people. For those of you who have missed reading my posts, which i'm sure encompasses the majority of you who bother to turn up at this site from time to time(and leave mundanely uninteresting remarks on my tagboard that are both repetitive and not remotely clever) , i am back to once again to capture your imagination with my uniquely gifted brand of passionate rantings and flamboyantly expressed thoughts.

Yes, its the new year,...its fuckin 2006. The year of the world cup. The year superman makes his long awaited return to the big screen. It's going to be a special year. No particular reason why. It's just a gut feeling. you can't explain these things.Besides, not everything requires an explanation....err... does it?

It feels a little strange to be back in school after a long hiatus. I guess you could say i'm trying to adapt to school life again.I am attenting lectures. I am attending tutorials.i attended every single fuckin one of them...oh shock..horror! Yes it's me...selven. The very same person from a month ago who use do be posting on here regularly with a whole lot of shite and crap. No, ...Selven was not kidnapped by aliens and replaced by an evil doppelganger(ok that sounded ironic)...Well, even if he had been, i could't possibly tell. The martians(let's assume they are from mars) could have extracted his memories and implanted them in a cloned vessel of an exact replica. There is a possibility then that i may not be the original selven and be completely unaware of this.So though i might be still selven in essence of mind, i may not wholly be the real mccoy in body and soul. Well...that's all hypothetical. Besides, even if all this could have actually taken place in the realm of our reality, i cannot say i comprehend the motive of the martians in carrying out this meticulous operation. Perhaps the body of selven is of great experimental value which could help them in their study of our human race.

Later tonight, It will be battle royale at the holy grail of football (that is old trafford to the ignorant) as Manchester United face up against the murdering scum from Merseyside. A game with little else significance other than having egos, pride and bragging rights at stake. Oh and ofcourse playing a part in deciding who would eventually finish a hundred and ten points behind chelsea in 2nd place....sigh...how the mighty have fallen. It beggars belief though that we hope to win this game going into it with a "formidable" midfield pairing that could be made up of any combination of 2 from the "world class" trio of O'Shea, Fletcher and Smith. The duo of O'Shea and Fletcher especially have been touted to be the second coming of Keane and Robson( are they having a laugh the scouse bastards). Gerrad and Xabi Alonso must be putting in extra hours at training to prepare themselves for "damage limitation" against our fearsome midfield. As the dark clouds hover above old trafford, we hope and pray we can dig in and pull off a miracle. After all, no one gave us a hope in hell against the rent boys a few months ago. On a brighter note though, Arsene Wanker and his french posse of pansies bottled it again as they went down to a James Beattie winner at Goodison Park... haw haw! The cunts must have thought they were going to have it easy after running riot over a bunch of kids last weekend...Well it's back to the drawing board for you Wanker...haw haw!

A month ago i reached a personal milestone with my impressive CD collection with my acquisition of Radiohead's 'Hail To The Thief'. Currently my CD album collection stands at a massive total of one hundred and one. It took me close to six years to get to this number starting with my first two back in 1999. I recall fondly that they were Marilyn Manson's 'Antichrist Superstar' and 'Mechanical Animals'. What i recall even more fondly was the manner in which they were procured. I had accidentally let my hands slip into the ICS fund. Such manner of accidents are common and almost inevitable at times when one's the treasurer assigned with the responsibilty of caretaking the coffers.

The Last Straw

2005-12-09T15:01:00.000+08:00

George must have rolled uncomfortably in his grave as we crashed out spectacularly out of the champions league at Lisbon on Thursday morning. Throughout the entire period of the game, there were two things that kept pricking me like a ceaselessly irritating needle. Firstly, how could a united side with their backs against the wall and who desperately needed a win to make certain of qualification come up with such an uninspired performance that makes a mockery of our reputation as a team that excels in the face of adversity . Secondly, how in god’s fuckin name did john knobhead o’shea ever become a united player. Technically incompetent, uncomfortable on the ball, and possessing a turn slower than a sedated snail, this is the sort of "player" who would have never made the united squad a decade ago...never mind the first team. If George had looked from above at the travesty that was being played out below, in the stadium in which he once soared to the heights of greatness cementing his place amongst the football elite, he probably would have looked at the funny side of things and quip a classic quote dismissing it all as a cruel joke with a half hearted smile …oh the pain!

As the referee blew the final whistle, it surely must have sounded Alex Ferguson’s long overdue death knell. This is it Fergie, your time is up. You will forever be remembered for your achievements and your place among the pantheon of united legends is still intact. But when it’s time to move on, it really is time for one to pack the bags and fuck off. That we have rarely managed to get past the 2nd round in the last few years is something we've gotten used to. But for a United side not to make it to the knock out stages is unfathomable and well... unforgivable. Surely you have to take responsibility for this debacle. This team isn’t good enough, and some of the players that make up this team are most definitely not fit to don the united colours. Surely if we can see it and you don’t, it must speak volumes of your capacity or lack of to manage this great club. It’s even more difficult to digest, especially when the likes of Looneypool are doing well with a decent manager. An outstanding example of how a mediocre team can turn into overachievers by means of a sound management and coaching skills. sounds simple enough doesn't it.

As I sit here fuming and depressed, I sympathise with the hundreds of reds who had travelled to Lisbon with their banners and George Best tributes. That they had to travel thousands of miles to witness the piss poor show that our team put up, most of which amounts to a sad excuse for an "attempt" to qualify for the next stage. I empathised with you fellow reds, as you stood there looking forlorn …unable to take in the events that were unfolding before your eyes. I knew I could not, sitting in the comfort of my home receiving cruel jibes from bin dipper fans and glory hunting portugese scum alike. These are dark times,… and we continue trying to sit it out and wait for the black clouds above to part and for the good times to come back. Till then, we simply have to develop great tolerance and self control to put up with the piss taking ABU community who are taking this opportunity to wank over our misery.As they say like that overused cliche which well is appropriiate for this situation, 'we stick with our team through thick and thin and through the good and bad times...sigh!

2005-12-06T00:07:00.000+08:00

Yes,..i know i know i'm the motherfucking scum of the earth. I don't need to be reminded constantly.

Anyways, 4 more days to the end of my industrial attachment...

Whopeeeee!

Then..3 more weeks till school reopens...

Depressing.

I don't miss school. But i know school's missed me....(well most of school atleast..ok alright ..some of school) Well, no worries.... the most cherished one will make his much anticipated return soon. To think i haven't stepped into school for 6 months.... The place must have morphed into the arm pits of the world in my absence....well these things happen. Well, every institution needs a messiah...and i suppose i fit the bill perfectly(being perfectly imperfect ofcourse)....But hey,.. I am not going to die for anyone's sins*smiles at the christians*.....me being one of the biggest sinners around...that would be gross irony anyways(even for my perculiar taste). So no Selsmas celebrations in my honour,... thank you very much. Just a little welcome party with lots of booze and the requisite supplements to go along with it will be just fine..yeah really.....say now where did i put my weed...

Anyway,..new year's party at vikram's later this month...everyone's invited. In fact he had asked me to make this announcemnet through my blog on his behalf....yeah i know....he must be off his rockers if he thinks people actually read the drivel that gets excreted on here....ahh fuck....but ill just post anyway.....hope is about the only thing all of us have...so i suppose we can all dream....

Ok..so the above paragraph is a bunch of bollocks.....yes it is. Don't blame me vikram, if you find strangely unattractive men with hairy chests and huge girths,attired in polka dot underwear trying to force their way into ur humble abode on the 31st...i will not bear the burden of the responsibility...i have come clean. But ofcourse if it's some smashing looking lasses who are willing to offer something extra to get us going into the new year in a manner which excites us, they are very much welcome,....yes they are...ahem.

Goodbye Georgie

A journalist once made a wager with George Best that he would not be able to nutmeg Johann Cryuff when Northern Ireland were due to play Holland. Best not surprisingly insisted he could and accepted the offer. Sometime during the match, Best latched onto the ball and went looking for Cryuff. He honed in on Cryuff standing 30 yards away completely uninvolved in the action , and headed for him in his usual manner of elegance and swagger. 3 players stoodin his way though to the prize he sought after. Shrugging his shoulders nonchalantly, he took them all on and beat them with ease, completely mesmerising them in his wake. When he got to his target, with a little jink to the right,and little jink to the left, he left the bewildered dutch master flat footed, and proceeded to embarrass him by slotting the ball through his legs. Sheer genius. Oh and ofcourse there was the little matter of winning his bet with a naive journalist. Thank God for George Best.

RIP BEST

ROY KEANE - MANCHESTER UNITED LEGEND (1993-2005)

2005-11-19T14:08:00.000+08:00

it was 1999....2-0 down in the intimidating cauldron of the Del Alphi stadium within the first half hour, most of us feared it's going to be one of those days when united just seemd to fall short of greatness . But ofcourse no one told Roy Keane that... Playing like a devil possesed, the man was hardly fazed by the situation as he drove the team forth, instilling the belief in them and inspiring them to put up a fight fit for champions. Then in one moment of greatness he stamped his legendary status in united folklore when he headed in majestically to pull a goal back. A moment which catapulted the red devils to make one of the greatest comebacks in champions league history...a comeback underlined by the sheer class and authority of roy keane's dominance of the midfield as Zinedine zidane and Edgar davids were overwhelmed and eventally overcome.This sums up in a nutshell what Roy Keane represents and means for Manchester United.

Just like Cantona, you leave us in the most unexpected fashion Roy. But perhaps the manner of your exit justifies and confirms the high regard by which you are held by all united fans. That ofcourse is an understatement. A man and a footballer who is a firm believer of his own philosophy and who has no qualms carrying out his words in action. The likes of you are a dying breed. Manchester United will miss you Roy. There cannot and never be another Roy Keane.

Roy keane epitomises Manchester United and everything it stands for. The hunger for glory. The sheer will power to overcome adversity.The incomparable commitment to the cause. Roy Keane is Manchester United.. sorry...now Roy Keane was... but in a day and age when the term'legend' gets thrown about so loosely, few deserve to be described as such more than Roy Keane...a true legend.

2005-10-20T13:50:00.000+08:00

Well it’s been awhile eh…. This post is 2 weeks overdue..but what the hell...punctuality has never been my forte.Just didn’t feel inspired enough to blog anything of substance(err..when was that last) or otherwise(the norm)... The mind has been in laze mode for the most of the last couple of days, weeks, months…seems like a lifetime.. and it hasn’t actively seeked to conjure up thoughts or imaginative drivel that has potential to fill up this white space…(if I ever change the background colour.. my apologies to the clueless who might chance upon this post a few months or years from today and find that previous line baffling.)

I watched ;Corpse Bride' a while back. The movie isn’t the most brilliant piece of animated filmaking by any stretch. But it’s still splendid to behold. I’ll take this stop motion animation over CGI rendered corporate mass reproductions that have been served to us non stop by the bucketloads anyday..though admittedly CGI has come a long way and movies like the 'Incredibles' have proven that CGI can satisfy like traditional animation (though even that feels like eons ago) . I can’t say for sure if this is better than 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' since it’s one of the few Burton films I’ve never actually got down to watching…but I reckon not. What this film does though is to put to rest any concern one might have about Burton losing his magic after the disappointment that was 'Charlie And The Chocolate Factory'(easily one of the worst movies I’ve had the displeasure of viewing this year at the theatres). Though Burton goes some way in redeeming himself in 'Corpse Bride'.. in my humble opinion ofcourse,… it remains to be seen if he can recapture the magnificence of 'Edward Scissorhands', or make anything as dark and forboding as 'Batman Returns'. I'll even settle for anything on par with the likes of 'Mars Attacks' and 'Sleepy Hollow'. 'Big fish' has been the best of his recent spate of duds. What these duds do confirm is that if there a kind of film burton isn’t cut out for, it is remaking classics. Most remakes are inferior to the original anyway. Hopefully Burton will think twice before he ends up remaking something like ‘Gone With The Wind’ or similar tripe. (yes,..i know that's a blasphemous thought)

On a side note, if Burton went on an acid trip while making his films, I imagine they would turn out a little like a David Lynch movie…. If Burton movies are supposed to be weird, whimsical and quirky, Lynch is way out there at the extreme end of the spectrum of everything that’s deranged, offbeat and offputting about filmmaking. If there is one director who has the capacity to leave his audience scratching their heads repeatedly, it has to be Lynch.The surrealist nightmarish images that have come to characterise his films are a trademark of artistic expression that can only be best described as ‘Lynchian’. To have a really good idea of what i’m talking about, get your hands on movies like 'Blue Velvet', 'Mulholland Drive', 'Lost Highway' and 'Wild At Heart'. If you reckon you can sit through these films unflinching, then you try your hand at the "Ultimate" Lynch film, Eraserhead, an almost “unwatchable” cult film. Ofcourse if these sort of movis are too weird or way out there for you,..there are couple of more "conventional " Lynch films like 'Elephant man' and the ironically titled ‘Straight Story’. I haven’t actually watched the 'Straight Story' myself, but it is highly acclaimed by critics and fans alike as a movie that fits the definition of pure filmmaking…whatever that means..

On a final note, it was nice to see the scouse twats get trounced in their own backyard…Demolished, crushed, humiliated, and I guess the most fitting description of it would be’ brought back down to earth’ from the delusional dizzy heights of grandeur built from one fluked champions league victory… haw haw! It was most satisfying for Manchester United fans especially, though a slight tinge of regret that such embarrassment should be inflicted at our expense with Chelsea gaining another 3 points…But what the heck…no true United fan would be too concerned about that…Chelsea could win an unprecedented quadruple, and it still won’t change anything…they are a joke. Not a tear will be shed just as no tears were shed when they strolled to premiership glory last season.With the millions spent, it will be laughable if their only achievement this season turns out to be retaining their league title. … As far as Liverpool are concerned,…they are 6 points below MIGHTY WIgan and we would rather see them down there than be up there challenging for the title,…fuckin twats..haw haw ! I can’t wait for them to get another stuffing at stamford bridge,…one could cream in one’s pants just fantasizing another humilation.

With the dearth of decent movies currently showing at the theatres...unless dross like Red Eye (oh alright,..it wasn't that bad) and The Longest Yard is your cup of tea, and ticket prices ridiculously high(though honestly,..is there any surprise considering how piracy and P2P networking has ruined it for these poor bastards :D), one might want to seek other alternatives which are cheaper and which arguably offer far more entertainment.

If you are one such individual,..WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!!! HEAD DOWN OVER TO HOUGANG PRIMARY ON SUNDAYS AT 530PM! What you will witness is the most passionate, colouful violent, heated and explosive display of football that would make Rooney and his EPL "band of brothers" seem like sanitised squeaky clean champions of fairplay. As the competitive spirit goes into overdrive ,upped by several notches(the cause of this is usually some fuckheaded idea of a bet over something like ice kachang...yes you heard it right), as the tackles go flying in, and violent shoves are mistaken(deliberately ofcourse)for bodychecks ,volatile tempers are provoked, confrontations take shape and vulgar expletitives are unleashed recklessly about with no manner of regard for sportsmanship (yeah right!), the court is transformed into a cauldron of seething ill will and hatred just waiting to erupt!

But ofcourse such manner of chaos cannot go unchecked and has to be subdued before it gets to a point where someone gets killed. So we have a law enforcer whose sole purpose is to maintain some form of order(please note that an 'absolute' form of order is near impossible to maintain and such an act would only serve to lower entertainment levels...if that's the case,..you might as well stay at home and watch arts central)before the beautiful game of football degenerates into bloody warfare.Such a consequence would be extremely unclassy wouldn't it...yes it would be... So who would take up such an arduous task that demands so much....Who would be courageous enough to come forth and take responsibility to uphold the values that shape the noble nature of this wonderful sport..... Well.. who else but yours truly(no surprise there ,is there?)....a physical embodiment of fairness, fortitude, good will ,temperament and a whole list of traits that make me superior to the average human. So, if you have worries concerning your own safety,...be comforted with the knowledge that i'll be there policing, maintaining and protecting.

Oh,...by the way,..since the venue is on school property, entry is unfortunately not free and gate fees are charged at 5 dollars per entry ( the sum collected from gate receipts go to our football preservation fund).... So i hope to to see you all there.

The Next Generation

2005-09-03T01:53:00.000+08:00

So that was another easy 3 points at St James park last Sunday...yawnnn! Well not quite,...for those of us who had watched the match,..it was pretty obvious our midfield struggled especially in the first half when Newcastle's trio of Parker, Emre and Bowyer had the measure of Keano and company. It was thus very unfortunate (for Newcastle that is) when Emre , and later Bowyer had to hobble off due to injuries. The Turk especially was probbaly their greatest menace creatively... and to say i was delighted to see his back before the first half was over would be an understatement.

So in the end, we relied on a couple of Rooney inspired moments to win the game...and that's exactly what our problem has been thus far this season..which is our reliance on individual brilliance from the likes of ruud, Rooney and Ronaldo to get the results. I may sound like a doom mongering pessimistic moaner with no real claim of justfication espcially since we have won 5 games out of 5 in all competitions on the trot with clean sheets. But i find it disturbing, when i flip the fuckin New paper and notice that everything is glossed over by the brilliance of the 3 Rs. Are the fuckin journalists all spotting red tinted glasses now that they have chose to completely ignore our shortcomings in midfield?!!With the defence looking solid as ever(especially now with Van der SAAAAAAAAAAar taking charge of things at the back) and our forwards unquestionably brilliant, our weakest link is quite clearly our midfield (Scholes, Keane and Fletcher).

Keane is past it...no doubt about that. He is no longer the box to box player of 2 or 3 seasons ago..His dodgy hip has crippled his ability to dominate midfield as he had for close to a decade. Scholes too, now past 30 has looked the shadow of his former self..which is a pity.At his best, he is one of the best attacking midfielders on the planet.As for Fletcher,..i have been one of his most vocal supporters. But having watched his displays in midfield this seaon, i am not convinced he has what it takes. I would love him to make me eat my words...but that isn't looking very evident. It says alot that i would have Scott Parker over him any day on current form. Ferguson, for heaven knows what reason, has not gone out seraching for a replacement for Keane which ought to have beeenhis first priority. Perhaps there is no one ot there capable...or perhaps he no longer possesses the ruthlessness to cast aside loyalties and get rid of a player when he is past his sell by date. When you look at all the bargain purchases that have been made ..from Parker, Emre to Carrick,..one has to wonder just what exactly Fergsuon has in mind.W ell,..i'll be the first to admit that no one can be another Keano....not Essien, not Gerrad,..and certainly not Patrick 'Moaning Cunt' Viera! But i am absoutely certain there is talent out there that we could bring in to play his role and be far more effective than he is on present form . Ballack seems the most likely solution,..but that is a pipe dream for now. Then there is that Obi Milel saga in which we're currently wrangling with Chelsea over the player. Perhaps United are confident that we'd be able to land him. But surely the youngster isn't the immediate answer to our problems at only 19 and having never ever played in the english top flight.. Experience is key,...and players like Mascherano as suggested by some seem like able replacements. But once again..no one knows exactly what's going on in Ferguson's frustrating Scottish gulliver.

Well,..enough talk about our sluggish midfield. The original point of this post was to bring to attention tothe young United talent that are set to makes waves over the next couple of seasons. I recall posting about the prodigous talent of Rossi about a year ago. A post which was met with much derison from ABU fuckwits whose hatred for united blinds their footballing common sense....haw haw! anyways, along with Rossi, there are are a handful of others as well that have shown great promise to break into the first team. These are the likes of Lee Martin, Jones, Pique, Spector and Ngugula. By the looks of it,..these look like the best bunch to come through the youth system since the class of 92. These youngsters obviously aren't the answer to our immediate problems..Frankly arsene wenger's experimentation with his little foreign pansies smacks of desperation due to lack of depth more than anything else...and with the central midfield pairing, i see their challenge for the premiership faltering at the latter stages of the competition... But then again, United did it with a relatively young squad back in 95-96...so i suppose I'll reserve my judgement till the end of the season.

Rossi is undeniably the most highly rated and promising of the lot, and comparisons with Zola ,due to his small frame and spellbinding skills, have been made right from the start. The physical nature of the English game maybe a tad daunting to overcome...but Zola managed it,..so there is no reason why this lad can't. Lee Martin is someone i've completely forgotten about till recently !! Another player who has received great plaudits for his reserve team performances... In a reserve league game against liverpool, he repeatedly tore through Josemi creating hell for the spaniard! i suppose Benitez wasn't too impressed himself judging by his reluctance to field the defender regularly anymore..haw haw! John spector is one player who i really hope would become a regular in the united first XI in the near future... the lad is a dynamite defender and i can envison him partnering Rio at centerback. Maybe not quite as pacy Silvestre,..but looks far more solid and reliable. As for Gerad Pique, the fact that Barca were fuming at the player's refusal to commit to their club speaks volumes of how highly he's regarded by the Catalans. Hopefully he'll get the chance to impress in the "Worthless Cup" ties later in the season. Ngulua is arguably the least known of the lot. But he's been praised for his performances in the holding role... It's too early to tell,..but he could very well make that position his own in the first team a couple of seasons down the road. The progress of promisng young players is never an easy task to judge. The step up from youth level to the premiership is huge, and only a handful prove themselves capable of taking that big step. It's never easy to predict whether one goes the way of Ryan Giggs who is the most successful player in premier league history,...or Ben thornley,once rated as the next Ryan giggs(haw haw!), but whose career never took off due to injuries and errr.. weight issues (Rooney anybody?)..and now has disappeared into obscurity. i guess we'll just have to wait and see..

Romero Has Lost It

2005-08-18T10:20:00.000+08:00

One expects a zombie film directed by the godfather of all zombie flicks to be nothing short of mindblowing. In that respect, George A .Romero's Land of the Dead simply fails to deliver what should have been a masterpiece. 2 decades have gone by since the last of the original triology,...and one would have thought Romero in that time would have brainstormed something more orginal and refreshing that would have further enhanced and stamped his legendary status permanently on this particular sub-genre ....Well what this movie has done is to prove that time has taken its toll, diminishing his creativity and rendering him devoid of ideas ( see also; George Lucas) as far as reinventing the genre is concerned.Yes, the not too subtle political references and social commentaries which characterised his previous movies are still present..though it might be lost on some. But alas, even that cannot lift this above being just a serviceable zombie thriller. It's a pity because, this movie will not make a fan out of a modern day horror fan who might not have heard of George A Romero or seen any of his classic flicks(though any self respecting horror movie fan who has never heard of Romero ought to do himelf and the rest of his community a service and slash himself in the throat) The fact that the 2004 remake of Romero's very own Dawn of the Dead is superior to this just goes to display the extent of the director's fall from grace. Modern day zombie classics such as Dead Alive (Peter Jackson's best movie by a country mile) and 28 Days Later are the current benchmarks of this particular sub-genre,...and it's sad to see that even Romero isn't able to call upon his talent to meet those standards..let alone surpass them. Well, i guess that's enough Romero bashing for the day. Frankly, Land Of the dead isn't the worst movie ever made,..it's just nothing nothing special....and the 'New Paper' muppets who called it a masterpiece have no fuckin clue whatsoever. If you are ever interested in watching a Romero flick at his prime(though i wouldn't blame you for being apprehensive about doing so after reading this..haw haw!),skip this and go and rent , buy, steal or download the original triology which made him a legend. ...something i have yet to do myself !

It's been awhile eh...oh well... can't recall the last time i spend this much time away from blogging..though strangely it doesn't feel like it was that long ago, though technically it's been about a month! Work has been well err ... dreadfully boring. though i cannot complain that i've been overloaded with work cause that's simply not the case... not yet atleast.

Watched Charlie And The Chocolate factory the other day,..and it pains me to say this... and i never thought i would use mediocre , Jhonny Depp and Tim Burton in the same sentence,..but that's exactly how i felt the movie rated. A pity really, but as beautful a sight as it was to behold,..for once,..even that was not enough , for me atleast, to carry the movie above mediocrity... and no, not even Depp could elevate the film...if anything, he probbaly was responsible for it being worse than it could have been...sigh... I mean, i am not criticizing Depp,..but for all his versatility,..i suppose this role just isn't for him. I have never been less impressed with a Johnny Depp performance than i've been in this film. Once again, it really pains me to say this..sigh! That little boy from Finding Neverland was good though, and did enough to justify the movie title which should have been Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory! But i suppose Burton made an artistic decison, so that people can tell this movie apart from the original which i hear is far superior. And don't don't take those who say Jhonny depp was superb bollocks too seriously. It seems these days, it's hard for some peopleto accept that even Jhonny Depp could have an off day,... he just can do no wrong! If only they could remove thosee 'Depp' tinted glasses and have a more objective perspective of things!

So Chelsea are Charity Shield winners! I suppose that means United are gong to be premiership Champions seeing now that Chelsea have become jinxed and Arsenal are simply wank! Haw Haw! Well, in all honesty, watching that Chelsea performance, though they might not have played champagne football, they look as solid as ever, and it would take a brave man to bet against them...sigh... if the cunts could field 2 teams, they'd probbaly finish first and second! As for Arsenal,..the french muppets were their usual selves,playing some scintillating football..but they had no answer to Chelsea's wall of defence. Arsenal have no plan B. They can only play one way,..and once opponents have worked that out like United and apparently Chelsea now,..they are easily subdued and have trouble converting all that possession into genuine goal scoring opportunities. I am confident they will not win the league, and there is no question that they will flop in Europe..again. So i suppose that means it will be us and Arsenal fighting for that second position along with the FA cup Again..Haw Haw! On a more positive note, Ferguson has come to his senses and has shipped out both Phil Neville and Kleberson, which still leaves Miller and Bellion...but all in good time! But his failure to have acquired a decent player for that central midfield position who would eventually succeed Roy Keane means our troubles are far from over, and it looks like it's going to be another rough season. Well,... the transfer window is still open, and it will be interesting to see how things would develop in the transfer market over the next couple of weeks...especially now that madrid have openly said United have exprssed interest in that little scouse midget...sigh... we seem to be signing an alarmimg number of Ex-leeds scumbags and scousers....though i can't see where this midget fits in the team, other than on the bench...oh well... only time will tell.

The "Machinist"

2005-07-12T11:40:00.000+08:00

A week ago, when i watched the film 'The Machinist' starring an extremely anorexic looking Christian Bale as a mentally unstable blue collar worker,...i never in my wildest dreams imagined myself being thrown into a similar working environment, (right down to the blue colour of my uniform) ..cause that is where i find myself now for the next 5 months... in the midst of MACHINISTS! Well, i can say safely though that i won't actually be doing any machining myself ..haw haw,...though i'll have alot of these machinists around. The good news is that the production area looks nothing like the dark menacing claustrophic anxiety inducing workspace like that in the movie. In contrast, it's actually bright, air conditioned,..and the machines are programmed, automatic and highly advanced, requiring a high level of skill and training to operate them....and no deranged looking Christain Bale character either though there was this chinese bloke who kept eyeing me suspicously...staring at me without the slightest hint of discretion,..obviously checking me out. Well i suppose i couldn't blame the poor veck. My delicous self was probabaly a rare sight for him to behold...cough... Anyways, the most amusing thing is that three quarters of the blue collared workers there are indians,...and i don't mean local indians. There must be more "imported" indians in that sector/department than any other in the company. So,...i guess it's no surprise for me to find myself being the only one on attachment posted there in that sort of...er.. company,.... even if i'm not technically indian (me having more in common with ceylonese terrorist scum). I spend much of the day pretending to comprehend what was happening around me, as i was given a little orientation of the place and work that goes on there. I must admit i was impressed with some of the nifty sophisticated instruments they were using. These are instruments far too expensive for any university to purchase for use in the workshops...cough.. cough ..well atleast NTU! Anyways, i don't reckon it's going to be a slack 5 month industrial attchment like some lucky cunts i know, going by my experience on the first day. I am just hoping i'm wrong!

FANTASTIC Fantastic Four

2005-07-08T14:50:00.000+08:00

Cheeky accompanied me to watch Fantastic Four. I couldn't get anyone else, cause quite simply no one else was interested. Some people would rather watch garbage like War Of The Worlds..sigh! Well, it's a pity, cause this movie is an absolute masterpiece. The best comic book based movie ever,period. Astonishing special effects, astounding action sequences and Jessica Alba(i think i'm in love,...bye bye Natalie, Kirten and Audrey) in what has to be the single most dominant performance by an actress in a super hero flick makes this movie a modern day classic. Move over Christan Bale, get the fuck out of the way Marv,... this is the the definitive superhero flick. By the end of the movie(i wished it would never come), it's pretty obvious that a sequel is already in the works and it's going to be *hint* planet shattering..err confused? *hint* big sized alien lifeform who consumes life force of planets for survival..still clueless? oh nevermind..watch the movie!! Julian Mcmahon as Dr Doom pisses all over any super villian captured on celluloid so far! I think fans of Nip/Tuck better prepare themselves for the actor's inevitable departure as he gets ready for movie superstardom.This is THE BEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR , and i'd be arse fucked if anything better heads our way between now and December.

The above typed is absolute bollocks,..but i suppose anyone who knows me ;) could telll that from the very first word typed...

2005-07-07T01:47:00.000+08:00

Another week's passed with nothing much of note. I was supposed to post this on Monday, but the page got refreshed accidentally and everything got wiped out. I couldn't be arsed to type another post till now. We had another get together last week, Aneez, Guang Yi, See Yeh, Chang Yew, Sheng Zhi and i . This was suposed to be someone's bright idea to make up for the previous one for which Sheng zhi and Chang Yew couldn't make it. In fact the previous get together we had was a farce considering that the four of us who turned up that day, See Yeh, Guang Yi, Aneez and i, see each other so often..(ok maybe not so much aneez..which is a good thing!). The get together then was just excuse to blow some cash at Swensen's...fuckin waste of money! We didn't blow as much last week. We ate at a cheaper place,and the food was accordingly inferior. That's not to say i believe expensive food equates to quality food... it doesn't.

I spend the last week watching movies i had downloaded, Shaolin Soccer( a decent movie though not in the same class Kung Fu Hustle), The Royal Tenenbaums(a hilarious high brow comedy which i feel is superior to Wes Anderson's previous effort, Rushmore), Big Fish (one of Tim burton's best) , Shaun Of The dead(an absolute gem of a zombie flick laced with british wit), The Machinist( a little known hitchcockian- noir thriller in which Christian Bale's skeletal presence alone is enough to hold one's attention)and Equilibrium(a decent film with Bale's performancee once again outstanding). But i'll reserve most of my comments for the worst movie i had the misfortune to witness in a long time, Bad Boys 2, which is an absolute disaster. Ok fine, i won't be so harsh,..and i'll grant that it has some excellent action sequences. But most of those sequences were as unnecessary as it was overblown. But it shouldn't come as too much of a surprise when a movie's directed by the "highly accliamed" Michael Bay. One director who could give Joel Schumacher(he who ruined the batman franchise before its recent ressurrection) a run for his money.

I also had a JC class gathering at Winston's place on Saturday, which went fine, if only thanks to the X-box that kept us entertained. Honestly, i couldn't but help feeling out of place, thank god vikram was there to share the misery, what with everyone communicating in mandarin...fuckin communist(kiddin)! But it was ok at the end of the day, i didnt feel like i should bolt for the door,..so i suppose it wasn't that bad. Even had some free alcohol to drink...oh and i forgot to mention Vincent,..haw haw...sigh still the same ol schmuck i had known in jc. His "racist" remarks never fail to amuse. He's one of those whose mere presence helps to make it a more pleasant experience when all else seems lost.

Haven't felt my best recently,troubled kinda with certain thoughts that keep swirling in my head. I realise though that i need to get a hold of myself and start to look at things more objectively. Never make the mistake of letting your heart rule your head. The consequences are rarely positive in nature. Industrial attachment begins next week, and i can't say i am looking forward to it. I will miss school for sure...i mean you can afford to skip classes, even self declare a couple of days midweek off..but you can't skip work. I will also certainly miss lazing around at home, just slacking away watching movies and taking long naps. But i suppose a few more weeks of that, and i'll turn in to one George E Romero's zombies...sigh..i think i'll go and take a nap now.

2005-06-28T02:00:00.000+08:00

I watched Battale Royale yesterday. It's a great film i had heard alot about. But i never got around to actually watching it. Having seen it now, i can declare that it's probabaly up there among my favourite all time Japanese movies like Ringu or Dark Water. Bloody, nihilistic, and laced with a sick twisted sense of humour, this movie is filled with moments that provided me with extreme orgasmic delight. But to be honest, it wasn't an entirely satisfying movie. There would be a need to suspend disbelief and reason concerning certain aspects of the plot (the nature of 'battle royale' may also seem like farce to certain people),..but i suppose that is a minor flaw when compared to the overall entertainment the film offers without resorting to hollywood conventions. Not in the same class as the Korean Old Boy,but it's definitely a worthy film to represent asian cinema.

...and finally,a quote from Choke by Chuck Palahniuk

"Women don't want equal rights. They have more power being oppressed. They need men to be the vast enemy conspiracy.Their whole identity is based on it."

BATMAN BEGINS

2005-06-18T14:50:00.000+08:00

I watched this earlier in the day with Vikram and Dhino....

I'm not sure , but i feel a tinge of disappointment with the new Batman flick. Now, don't get me wrong,...it's just a mild one, perhaps a result of it falling a bit below my expectations. Even if it's unfair to compare, this is possibly in my opinion Christopher Nolan's worst movie yet. But that ofcourse doesn't make it a bad film by any means...it's still way better than most of the junk that masquerades as motion pictures in cineplexes.

The main gripe i have with the movie is with the action scenes that are almost as bad as the ones on Daredevil, which is an atrocious movie in all aspects of film making..if you could even describe it as film making. The action scenes suffers from being overy edited and choppy, and its pretty hard to follow anything that's happening on screen. i suppose that has alot to with Nolan's inexperience when it comes to delaing with the action genre. The other problem i have is that the movie lacks a supervillain with enough weight and presence to make any sort of impact that is expected in a superhero flick. As much as i love Cillian Murphy from 28 Days Later who plays Scarecrow,..his character pales considerably in comparison to Tim Burton's freaks(Joker, Penquin, Catwoman..) It doesn't help that he does't get much screen time or even much of a background story.

Well, all in all Batman Begins is still a pretty good movie, and one of the best of the year. I have no problem with claims of Christian bale being hailed the best batman ever(though i preferred him in American Psycho). I still have a soft spot for Michael Keaton who i personally feel had an air of mystery about him. But i reckon Bale's Batman sacrifices style(that was taken to ridiculous extremes by Schumacher) for pure hard edged menace. And his batman does a whole lot more justice to how its truly represented in the comic books and graphic novels. Donning the batsuit, he really looks like Frank miller's creation fleshed out onscreen.Anyways, on a final note this is not the best movie of the eyar based on a graphic novel.... Sin City still maintains its position in that rank fas far as i'm concerned...and as far as comparisons with Burton's Batman movies go,...i still prefer Burton's vision for its bold eccentricity and wonderful visuals.

And a bit of Batman Philosophy, though i think its bollocks..haw haw

It's not what's underneath,.. it's what a man does that truly defines him.

2005-06-13T13:40:00.000+08:00

Went to the 'Unity Of Agression 2005' gig with Babayaro, and though we left kinda early it wasn't too bad at all. Apparently we missed the better bands that performed later. We actually got a free compilation cd at the door,..so i supose we got our 10 dollar's worth from a rather "Singaporean" perspective of it all ..haw haw! But it must be mentioned that we were almost denied that when the mat at the door tried to rip us off by claiming that the cds had run out.... Well we weren't gonna get fooled...thanks to Babayaro's keen eye...haw haw!..She spotted poeple coming in after with a cd in their hands.. So well, we confronted the mat , and he didnt heistate handing us the cds we rightly deserved..haw haw! i supppse new stock just came in..though Babayaro claimed she spotted a whole bag of cds under the table earlier when we were told it had run out...Oh well..WE GOT OUR CDS..SO IT DOESN"T FUCKIN MATTER!

What was perhaps the highlight of the gig wasn't so much the performances , but the mat boys who did a fantastic job entertaining everyone with their offstage antics(regardless of whether they were aware of it or not), shoving and pulling onto ohe another like starved rabid dogs(i'm sure they would have bitten off each other's heads if they were endowed with canine teeth), during several peformances...haaw haw! I'm not certain if these guys are paid to keep everyone awake by acting like idiots or they simply have grand delusions of being moshers,..alas with rather farcial but admittedly comical application. But to give them lil mats credit,..they certainly enlivened the place when it threatened to become a bit drab..haw haw!...2 thumbs up to mosher mat boys!!

2005-06-10T07:04:00.000+08:00

I had my German exam yesterday,..so well for one thing that just means no more German. I'm home now alone(my parents have gone to visit relatives in "Mongolia") and i'm feeling pretty much bored with not much else to do. I've spend the last couple of days watching anime and mostly just chatting with space monkeys on msn. As for the exam,..well i think i'd be screwed under normal circumstances. But hopefully the fact that i manged to somehow pass both my written and oral tests mean would help me scrape through with at least a D..haw haw! The paper wasn't like the most difficult, but i suppose the little matter that i spend just a couple of hours before the exam to study for it would go some way in explaining why i had some... ahem... diffiiculties. Anyways, that's hardly something that concerns me now. Right now, i'm just contemplating how i'm gonna spend the rest of my holidays before my industrial attachment in July. Sigh,...i can't be spending the rest of the holidays simply watching dvds i've leeched from messy haired guy or downloading anime. It doesn't help that both Lost and Desperate housewives have recently come to a season end.

Well, i do have a couple of novels that i bought recently to finsih up on. I'm only like one fifth into Choke( by the author of Fight club), but thus far its been pretty good. It hasn't blown me away like Fight club did, but i suppose that would change as i progress further. I haven't really been in the mood to read in recent times, but i guess i have little choice now when its the only means i have to keep myself occupied, other watching movies and anime ofcourse. ..haw haw!

My leg's on a slow road to recovery, but i'm guessing it will be alright in about another week so i can get my football shoes on and get out there and slide some cunt!... Sounds dramatic..yeah i know...but it's true. I suppose it's a good thing too that my leg's "broken', so i'll have no excuse changing my mind about going to the gig this sunday with Babayaro(It's football sunday you see)... I don't think she'd take too kindly to that as i was warned politely by her..haw haw! Anyways, the chinese physican(the blind one) certainly did a good job twisting the shit out of my leg. That and that horrible tasting medicine have served its purpose so far in healing my knee. It has reaffirmed my belief(whatever that was left of it) that modern medicine isn't always the way to go...yeah right..

Can't wait to watch Batman Begins when it opens next week..err..it's next week right...ahh doen't matter..i'll watch it when it opens. According to some reviews that i've browsed through thus far, this is supposedly the best Batman flick ever to make it to the big screen and Christian Bale is the best batman ever... Yeah well, i wouldn't be too surprised if Christian Bale turns out being the best caped crusader ever,...i mean..that guy was magnificent in American Psycho... And this might just be THE Batman movie considering the director and the cast ... But i'm not too certain if it'll be my favourite. Can anything replace Tim burton's gothic master piece at the top of the pile for me? ...(And by that i refer to Batman Returns...and not the overrated Batman..yes it's good but it's a one man show) Tim burton is by no means a great filmmaker..but few surpass him when it comes to visual splendour. Whether you like his movies or not, they are always terrific to look at. And i'm one of those who loves his movies with the exception of Planet Of The Apes which was an ill advised remake...but atleast that still had Tim Roth..haw haw! Anyways i am not expecting this new Batman flick to be visually on par or superior to Tim Burton's vision,..but i suppose it could be one of far more substance. Oh, and by the way to all those who didn't know , this movie is inspired by Frank miller's Batman:year 1. So together with Sin City, Frank miller has been directly or indirectly responsible for what could be 2 of the best movies of the year which are also 2 of the best movies ever to be inspired by/based on a graphic novel or comic!

Crocked

Back in 2001, i sacrificed my leg for my country( a victim of deadly flesg eating bacteria during my proud tenure in NS)....Years later,yesterday i once again gave up my leg for a different cause. This time it was for football. I was valiantly chasing the ball looking to defend it as the enemy attacked our goal. It was TSY on the ball. I stretched my right leg to get to it. But alas misfortune struck. I felt a sharp pain on my right knee and that was it..i knew it was all over. I must have twisted or sprained my knee..i don't know... but it was goddamn painful. Moments later i had to hobble away like a soldier wounded in the battlefield.

I could hardly move around after that, as i dragged myself home. My dad helped to massage with some ointment. It seemed to help for awhile...but it got worse when i went to bed . I was tossing and turning throughout the night as i struggled to overcome the pain coursing through my leg. In the morning, i visited a Chinese Physican(a blind one at that), and he spend about 15 minutes twisting and pulling the crap out of my leg like i was some kind of lifeless ragdoll. But to give him credit, it did seem to have the desired effect, and now im in much less pain. I am just not certain if its temporary respite.... still a bit apprehensive. i was given some really disgusting herbal medicine...It's been awhile i had medicine which tasted this horrible...euurghh!

WOOO HOOOO!!!

2005-06-02T05:40:00.000+08:00

On a more serious note, i have my German Oral (no, not oral sex) test tommorow...so i plead, please do pray for me...thank you!

A Sad Day For United Supporters

2005-05-26T06:02:00.000+08:00

So my predictions came true... Arsenal lifted the FA cup on Saturday..and yesterday on the darkest and bleakest of days for United fans all over the planet, Liverpool once again became European Champions...sighh...unbelievable...who in his right mind would have thought any of it was possible after the events in first half. Liverpool were exposed for what they truly were, as they were pummeled senseless ,3-0,...looking classless and inferior to a true European heavyweight that is or was Milan...But alas Rafael Benitez proved himself to be a maestro in designing tactics as he conceived and manuafactured what is the 2nd most amazing comeback ever in European Cup final history...we all know what the first is...

From 3-0 down to 3-3 in a matter of minutes... the gods were truly smiling upon Liverpool. Schevchenko, the blody cunt, was awful as he hardly got his game going,.. unable to latch on to through balls,..making Dudek look good with that double save and an awful awful penalty that even i would have saved... His performance made a complete mockery of the New Paper article on him...all the hype and in the end it failed to amount to anything. Seedorf must have been dreaming baout his 4th European cup alreday by half time judging by the smug look on his face and utterly disgraceful performance afterwards...The cunt needs to be shipped out! As for Carlos Ancelotti, what the ghellw ere you on , when you took out Crespo and replaced him with JON FUCKIN DAHL TOMMASON! IT"S NOT FUCKIN FUNNY! Crespo alreday on 2 , was well on his way to the 3rd, when Ancelloti pulled off the masterstroke of bringing on Tommason who did very well to fluff a shot at a open target.

Milan's empire is done for...Its the end for many of them...There is no way in hell are they going to win another Scudetto or European cup with this suqad....As good as they are (Pirlo, Kaka, Maldini and the lot are magnificent players)...but age has caught up with most of them,..and it's really time to replace the old guard. Amongst the players who have won numerous honours, only Maldini seemed to still possess any sort of hunger or drive...One had to feel sorry for the great defender who cut a sombre figure as he trudged around in disappointment as the result sunk in at the end of the game.

So in a matter of days...2 of Englsih football's foremost clowns, Lehman and Dudek. have accquired 'hero' status after impressive one off performances..Why, Dudek is probbaly already a legend in the eyes of many Liverpool fans... Blunder.. he did,atleast twice in the game, going unpunished. In the end,...2 penalty saves along with a string of other saves made him man of the match, and deservedly so. (though its ironic to note how he would have been crucified if his blunders had been taken advantage of)

Liverpool winning the UEFA Champions league is a disaster for all United fans. It has multiplied our misery tenfold after a disappointing trophyless season. And after going underground for 15 years, and years of underachievement, it once again feels great to be a Liverpool supporter. The ones who kept quiet in the sideleines , who didn't seem to care during their darkest period all of a sudden have got the voice to celebrate and brag! Screw those cunts..glory hunting muppets! But to those who who chos eto stick to the club through thick and thin,..i say you deserve a pat on the back. As much as its disgusts me personally to hear you bragging...But hey,...Liverpool football club earned the bragging rights!

But no worries, normal service will resume next seaon when we return to kick your arses like we always do! Bloody Bastards!

The Story Of Our Season...

2005-05-22T05:59:00.000+08:00

The FA cup final yesterday epitomised the way things have been for United the entire season. We created a bucketload of chances , but we put none away. We ought to have blasted the cunts to bits,..but instead we came off with nothing to show for,after completely dominating and outplaying the "invincibles". Did we deserve to win the cup..based on our performance? There is no question about it. But based solely on our ineptitude when comes to converting our chances, we didnt deserve to get anything fout of it....BUT DO ARSENAL DESERVE TO BE FA CUP CHAMPIONS?!!! The answer is simple...no fucking way in 120 minutes of the most inept display by the so called "better"team, did the cunts deserve anything from the match. They whined and moaned about us having to resort to fouling and cheating to have any chance of beating them. They arrogantly declared that if both teams simply stuck to playing football, they would play us off the park... Well yesterday United played the football, as Arsene's wankers fouled, cheated, dived and moaned every fleeting second when things didn't go their way. FUCK you Reyes, you fucked headed GYPSY... for someone who had the audacity to describe us as bullies, he did supremely well to justify his claims by getting himself sent off,..spanish bastard! As for viera,...he couldn't hold a candle to Roy Keane who commanded the midfield like a true leader though he's no longer half the player he was at his prime. Even an early collison with Fabregas which threatened to end the game for him, did not make a difference to the legend who carried on playing through the pain barrier... I'm sorry if seem biased,..but cunts like Viera have a lot more to achieve to convince me that he even deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as Keane. As for Steven Gerrad, you have a long way to go before you even get to be mentioned in the same sentence.

But to prove that i'm not a bigot with just a one sided red tinted perspective of the game, i will give credit toarsenal where it's desrved. The best Arsenal players on the day were their 2 centrebacks, Senderos(currently my favourite Arsenal player,..this youngster is as classy a defender as they come) and Toure, and my man of the match, the ever detestable JENS LEHMAN!...Just what teh fuck was the cunt on...Was he hypotised to believe he was Gordon Banks..fuckin schmuck! If not for that cunt, we would have trounced the gunners , notching a cricket score to boot..But als, that was not to be, simply cause Lehman decided to be Banks for the day.

So a sad end to a rather disppointing season. No consolation prize like the previous season,...but hey,.. they are plenty of positives to take from yesterday's game. If anythng, we have shown we aren't that much worse than Arsenal in footballing terms like some cunt says on yesterday's New Paper. And as for you Godfrey Robert, we lost just like you wanted. I hope you're happy you wanker.*swears to rip your face apart the next i see you*

The Day United Saved West Brom

2005-05-16T15:31:00.000+08:00

So Chelsea won the league.... Arsenal finished runners up and United had another miserable season. But who says we havent't achieved anything this season. Moments ago, West Brom did the impossible... They stayed up in their fight aginst relegation, making a farce of the theory that any team that's bottom of the table at Christmas wouldalmost certainly relegate. Well done West Brom! They have truly shown that, with enough courage and determination just anything might be possible. Teams like Norwich who had their destiny in their own hands collapased incredibly , going down 6-0 to Fulham condemning themselves to relegation ...sighh... embarrasing and very disappointing for their fans. But hey, West Bromwish Albion didn't do it by themselves.... Their survival had alot to with the Manchester United "connection". United's win over the Saints played a big part in deciding this, because all the siants needed towards the end of the match was a goal to equalise and they would have stayed up for sure adding another season to one of the longest serving clubs in the top divison. They did well to take the lead, but a United comabck engineered by goals from Fletcher and Van Nilestrooy crushed any hopes they had. But ofcourse this isn't where the United "Helping Hand" to West Brom ends... One of the goal scorersr in West Brom's 2-0 win today was scored by a certain youngster on loan from United going by the name of Kieran Richardson. He played a major part in the team throughout the seaon. This youngster will probably be back at Old Trafford next season,...but his contribution during his time with West Brom will not be forgotten. But ofcourse the biggest United "Contribution" to the West Brom "Survival Cause" is none other than the manager himself...a United Legend, and my favourite player when i began supporting United,...Bryan Robson. Captain Marvel(the original Captain Marvel, not that cunt who plays at Newcastle) as he was known during his days with United and England, the man is the real reason for West Brom's miraculous escape. A man who wore his heart on his sleeve during his playing days(he once carried on playing with a dislocated shoulder), he is showing that he has what it takes to be a great manager as well. Well done Robbo! United fans are proud of you! It will be a season to look forward to next seaon for West Brom fans i'm certain...all thanks to that United "Connection".

Manchester United 3 Chelski 1

2005-05-12T06:57:00.000+08:00

What a marvellous show at the Theater Of Dreams. Chelsea were battered senseless by a dynamic attacking performance by the red devils! Van Nilestrooy, back to his stunning best, fired in a hattrick composed of a bicycle kick(hit with such venom, it left Cudicini on his arse), a diving header(from a cross from "the real" Ronaldo which dipped and curved above the heads of the Chelski defence) and ofcourse the mandatory tap in ( from a Wayne Rooney layoff after that brilliant youngster had skipped past an entire Chelski defence, most notably putting the ball through the legs of Makalele..simply class!) Honestly, it was a performance that reminded Chelski that though they might have won the league, it will be awhile before they can lay claim to being the number 1 club in England...fucking poseurs! How could they ever hope to achieve anything(despite being league cup and Premiership champions)with a manager like Mourhino! He who claims to be the "special one"! We have Sir Alex Ferguson managing our lot of garbage...pardon..i mean class outfit. "HE" is the "special one"...you don't believe me...have a look at his trophy cabinet( despite the small matter that we have only procured one FA cup in the last 2 seasons..) You say the old man's past it? Now, now..after the result today,..i think you'd better whisper it if you're still harbouring such ridiculous thoughts... And assuming, in the most unlikeliest event ofcourse, that the old man's past it,..why would any United fan worry...why with Carlos "mastermind" Queiroz pulling the strings behind the scenes. He of 'he was too good for Madrid, they sacked him' fame. With a coach of such outstanding pedigree and tactical acumen conducting team management, anyone who doubts United's ability to rebound next season ought to be incarcerated for gross disillusionment. And so what if Arsenal are finishing second and that we will finish 3rd for the 3RD time in 4 seasons... Honestly,...those wankers are going to get a walloping at Cardiff in 2 weeks...you just watch this space..when i return to wax lyrical of our performance after the final. It will not be pleasant for ABUs...so ABUs kindly stay away to avoid the ignominy that you will potentially suffer. Arsene's wankers have no chance against us...what with mighty silvestre guarding our defence and with either of our 2 "invincible" goalies vying for that place between the sticks....do the french cunts even have a prayer!!

*wakes up from my dream*

*knocks my head against the wall repeatedly till the plasters peel off*

3.45am

The exams are over...WOO HOOO! yeah i know it's a bit delayed and i ought to have posted this yesterday,..but what the heck...IT"S FUCKIN OVER!!!*punches the sky* Truth be told, it does feel kinda anti-climatic. When i got back to the room after my last paper, i was asking myself "so what do i do now?"..honestly there isn't much... I spend wasting away the rest of the day... One can't wait for the exams to be done with,..but once it's finished one can't figure what to do with all the "free" time (i almost miss having to studying for the exams..right) ...simply put there is nothing to look forward to..err except maybe when my german classes begin next week...But besides that, i have no fuckin idea how i'm gonna spend my holidays... Football is almost always going to be only on sundays...Football season is going to end soon as well, and i can't wait for the respective FA cup and Champions League finals(it's going to bbe one hell of a football feast at Cardiff and Istanbul, with superior football on display at Cardiff ofcourse..haw haw)... The rest of the holidays after that is going to be a bore.. So i suppose there is only one solution... I should head down to Borders or Kino and get some books (novels, comics,..etc). Reading certainly helps eat up time.I know that from my last experience with The Da Vinci Code(the overrated piece of crap),...It's time for me to explore some Kafka ,Nietchzche and Poe...haw haw! Well we'll see about tha!t...i have never been the sort who's been able to immerse myself in books unless its a comic book or graphic novel...

*switches to Soccernet to look at the PSV vs Milan scoreline*... PSV 2 Milan 0 .. BLISTERING FUCKING BARNACLES!!! (politically incorrect Captain Haddock quote)!! *puts on shirt and heads back to TV room*....

4.41am

If there is any justice in football...in 3 weeks, PSV Eindhoven would be playing Liverpool in the Champions league final in Istanbul...but well as we know life isn't fair... Final score PSV 3 MIlan 1. The away goal scored by Ambrosini effectively ended the tie... I am embarassed to admit i applauded the goal in my blind fervour to see Milan smash Liverpool into smithereens in the final(mind you, that looks a remote posibility now the way the italians are playing)... sigh..But they didn't give up PSV...They came back fighting scoring an excellent goal which gave them a teeny weeny bit of hope. Alas,..it was just too late for a come back ala Nou camp 99'... One has to feel for the PSV players who slumped on to the pitch in dejection at the final whistle,..exhausted physically and mentally, but with no reward to show for the manner in which they dominated and out played Milan for large periods of the game. Like the commentator said,..the better team did not win this semi final tie...and Milan are extremely lucky... In any case, if Milan repeat this miserable performance at Istanbul..they will lose for certain against the "mighty" liverpool side. Then there will be no end to the bragging from the Bin Dippers whose fans are alreday at full force after their victory over Chelsea...Watching the muppets celebrate, one would have thought they had already lifted the cup.... Anyways..i have this niggly feeling after watching Milan's performance today and Liverpool's run in Europe that the scouse cunts are going to pull of a sensational victory at Istanbul..and the mere thought of that makes my stomach churn... so here are my predictions for the FA cup and Champions league final..

FA CUP champions 2004-2005 -Arsenal (yes,..we aren't going to beat the same team 4 times in season ...just ask the "special one"..but if we were playing Newcastle on the other hand..oh well..)

UEFA Champions League Winners 2004 -2005( Milan are looking very sluggish and unconvincing towards the latter part of the season..and as evidenced today, no longer look as invincible....They look like they will fall to a hungry but no doubt mediocre Liverpool side who look like they are going to pull off a 'Greece'..sigh)

so... this is the forecast,..and you heard it here first folks...

With Teeth

2005-05-03T17:00:00.000+08:00

I just got NIN's 'With Teeth' earlier this afternoon, thanks to a tip off by NIN's 2 greatest "fans", Dhino and Sulaiman. Bless you guys. I was under the impression that it would only be out on May 3rd...but for some reason it's already out here,..well atleast at HMV orchard. HALT!!! My fellow NINholics! Get your arses back on your seats and continue reading...I hear from a fellow NINholic who's potentially reliable that the album's already been sold out at HMV, sigh...Well that's a tiny bit unfortunate i suppose...not that i give a hoot ofcourse ..haw haw! I GOT MY COPY! WOO HOO! But do not weep my fellow NINholics,...i'm certain HMV will get more copys coming in the next few days....just don't take my word for it..haw haw!

Just for the record,..this is the first album of the year i bothered burning any cash on without the slightest bit of hesitation...and that's simply cause i know it's worth it and only because it's NIN. I've played the album 5 or 6 times over and the only adjective to describe it is 'beautiful'...simply beautiful. I was quite surprised it had an extra bonus track. It was supposed to have only 13 tracks...Well let's just take it as a gift from Trent. He never fails to surprise. Anyways, For anyone who gets a hard on just by the mere mention of the name 'NIN',...here are my thoughts on the album. Firstly,... this is like no NIN album before. If you're expecting another The Downward Spiral , The Fragile or even Broken,..well you'd be disappointed. But ofcourse that's not to say it's a bad thing...Trent can do no wrong can he. What he has served us is something that goes in a whole new direction. In many ways this is the most "optimistic" NIN album yet..., it's not as heavy as Broken, not as dark and edgy as The Downward Spiral,...nor is it an experimental epic that is The Fragile. In many ways, this is the most accessible Nine Inch Nails yet since Pretty Hate Machine,..and no, Trent hasn't sold out...This isn't a commercial album by any stretch of the imagination. It's just too darn unpredictable, and quirky to be anything remotely that. When i say unpredictable,...i mean its unFUCKINpredictable. This album in my opinion isn't in the same class as TDS,..nor did it blow me away at first listen like The Fragile. But its certainly growing on me,.. (i'm saying so after about 5 to 6 listens in the last 10 hours), and i'm pretty certain i'm going to love it as much as any of the previous albums.

Here are excerpts from a few online reviews on 'With Teeth'.

Rolling Stone (3.5 / 4) - "...No rock star had ever shown such a subtle appreciation for the dark side of Adam and the Ants, and no rock star had ever worn black leotards out of such deep inner conviction..."
"...It's vintage Nine Inch Nails: New Wave with a heart of darkness. "

ROCK REVIEW (9/10) -"...Although nowhere as epic or mind-bashing as past efforts, Trent Reznor has again come back to prove he can write amazing songs, with production to match..."

Moz La Punk (4/5) -"...Trent must've had a hard time, because how do you follow up one of the best records ever, 'The Fragile' ? The answer is, you don't. It seems like an impossible task, and listening to this record proves that...

KLUDGE MAGAZINE (7/10)- "...Some artists can do no wrong for their fans, and Trent Reznor certainly falls into that category..."
"...There are a slew of aggressive tracks, fantastic sequencing and some great new vocal ideas. It’s not possible for Reznor and his crew to put out an album of low quality."

Virgin.net-"...With Teeth may have a savvier, more commercial edge than fans were expecting, but ultimately it's Reznor's newfound lust for life which binds everything together and makes this comeback well worth the wait..."

SPACELAB-"...With Teeth is more stripped down to the bone (and teeth) of the NIN sound. It's more forward, and direct, and right in front of your face..."
"...It ends up as a quick moving machine, but kind of unpredictable, and you feel like if you don't keep an eye on it it will fly out of control and crack you across the mouth..."
"...It's dark and almost bitter and cold. At the same time, it's filled with parts that are more human and approachable, so it's not down the whole time. And that kind of makes it interesting, because too much time on either side would be less of an album."

XFM.co.uk-"Trent Reznor has a lot to answer for. Without Him, would Marilyn Manson have been so perfectly poised to inflict his hairy arse on the world? Would the road have been so clear for Linkin Park, the industrial-metal Backstreet Boys, to make synth-stomping electro-rawk a thing of Top Of The Pops rather than, say, a badly-lit metal haunt in Soho?.."

"...Trent Reznor, more or less, is the reason that your sister/daughter/brother/mother wears eyeliner like an oil spill, the man who made declaring “I wanna fuck you like an animal” more than just a reason to call in the RSPCA. And Trent is back, to restore some punk-arse black magic, and credibility, to the genre he created. ‘With Teeth’ doesn’t just have the bark that accompanies most comebacks, it has the bite too..."

"...The most complete album he’s ever done, with consistent flashes of the genius that’s been lying in wait, ‘With Teeth’ is Trent Reznor, and Nine Inch Nails, at the peak of their powers, the proper successor to ‘The Downward Spiral’, ready to sink its bloody fangs into anything that dares to contain, imitate or defy its dark, demonic brilliance."

2005-05-01T17:50:00.000+08:00

Yes it's official,...my brother isn't impotent after all... In about 3 quarters of a year i'll be the uncle of an unfortunate child...

Anyways,...the exams are not yet over,..for me atleast... still have Fluids on wednesday. But that won't stop me from playing football tommorow...haw haw! It's been awhile without football,..and my legs are itching to execute a tackle...even right now, they seem to have a mind of their own as they swing around without any control.*struggles to contain them*

Just a couple more days to the most anticipated day of the year,...the release of what will be 'The Best Rock Album' of the year by the god of industrial himself. With Teeth is expected to knock the stuffing out of all the annoying and mindless drivel that's been around at the top of the charts recently masquerading as music... candyshop? The world has truly gone insane. From dumb hip hop to fuckheaded corporate rock bands polluting the airwaves (and what is this bollocks about punk revival?!!), our saviour has once again made a timely return to save our souls after 6 years of self imposed "solitary confinement"... HAIL TRENT REZNOR!! OUR SAVIOUR!! HAIL OUR GOD!!. Nine Inch Nails is back and it's return is expected to send reverberations around every corner as Trent signals his intent to end and rectify the disgraced state of Rock music(...Rob Thomas is still alive?!! fuckin cunt!). Guns N Roses... where are they?Linkin Park... WHO THE FUCK ARE THEY?Cobain shot himself.Smashing pumpkins are extinct, U2 sold out,...but hey do not weep,.. NIN is still around to keep the torch burning...ROCK ISN'T DEAD!

On a final note,...some idiots,i'll be kind enough to keep them anonymous, do not possess the slightest inkling of the contribution of Trent Reznor to Rock since Pretty Hate Machine in 1989. These are the sort of thick skulled imbeciles who proclaim a travesty like Linkin Park's first album as a superb piece of musicanship*scratches my head bemused*... Anyways, these schmucks ought to just keep their stupid mouths shut, sit back and watch as NIN conquer all... eh Dhino?

Well Done Everton!

2005-04-22T02:00:00.000+08:00

First of all. I must say Manchester United have once again done no justice to themselves, their fans and the club in whole. They completely lost their heads when they were required to be calm after being 1-0 down. Neville deserevd to be sent off, though he did a good job hammering the ball at the toffee fans (wish a certain portugese cunt was seated in that row). Anyways well done Everton,...It looks like they have done enough to qualify for the champions league as Liverpool are expected to finish no higher than 5th and go out in the champions league semi-final...Haw Haw! So much for the spanish revolution..or 'rafa...whatever' that they call it.*Gives Liverpool fans a nice guy pose*

SCOUSE SCUM BACK IN FORM!

2005-04-17T16:11:00.000+08:00

After a rather lucky aggregate win over Juve, the Bindippers are back to their usual selves as they drew against a rather weak spurs side, sliding to 6th position in the standings. Haw Haw! Oh joy! If everything goes to plan, Bolton will finish fourth come end of the season as both the merseyside teams fall by the way side. That ofcourse means that United will have to hammer the living daylights out of Everton! Sorry Dhino, but i would rather have Bolton takeing that fouth champions league position to avoid having to listen to your boastful whining! Newcastle to win the FA cup eh..FUCK YOU! We are going to walk all over that Geordie piece of crap tommorow! *Gives out war cry*

Norwich 2 Manchester United 0

2005-04-10T17:30:00.000+08:00

WHAT THE FUCK!!! How can something like this happen...How can we possibly lose to the bottom team....ARRRGHHHHH! I think i'm losing my mind! It was absolutely painful to watch. Where is the hunger, where is the pride... fuck! or do we simply save that for the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool, and then play completely awful football against the likes of Norwich, Blackburn, Porthsmouth,..the fucking list goes on... Now it looks like we won't even finish second....sigh! Funny thing how the last time we lost in the premiership was actually the day of my birthday, 2-0 to Porthsmouth, which was the weekend before my exams last semester. Now they lose by the exact scoreline before my exams next week ...fuck!!! I can only pray they don't carry this form over to that FA cup semi-final tie next week against Newcastle.

ARRRGHHH! FUCK YOU DAVE!

2005-04-08T19:10:00.000+08:00

If you're wondering who Dave is,...well he's Vikram's roomate. A rather softspoken Filipino catholic who comes across as someone pleasant and nice. In other words,...someone who's the very antithesis of yours truly. No that i cannot be a nice and pleasant person(my "friends" can testify to do that bold claim..cough cough)
Anyway, this nice little Filipino boy is the owner of an entire collection of Naruto anime which he has got ripped and burnt and nicely stored in a black cd wallet. I've mentioned this before ofcourse in a previous post. So till 2 days ago, i've been "borrowing" his cds when he isn't around in the day(nice Filipino boy is on Industrial Attachment you see). I've watched everything till episode 121,and so i've just got this one final cd which has got episodes 122 to 125 which i haven't. Having watched like about10 episodes, i was feeling quite jaded and decided to leave the last 4 episodes for the next day. So thursday morning ,i wake up early, rise and shine,..and i headed over to Dave's table to "borrow" that last cd with the final 4 episodes. Horror of horrors i discovered that the final cd was missing along with 2 others from his cd wallet...THUNDERING FUCKING TYPHOONS!( a politically incorrect Captain Haddock reaction) Feeling despondent, i lay down on Dave's bed and continued in my attempt to finish up on The Da Vinci Code, and i did. Anyway, back to my main gripe,...just what the fuck was the bloody Filipino thinking..Argghh!!..He's denied me the satisfaction of being able to complete his entire Naruto collection. Just how calculatingly cruel can one get! BLOODY FUCKING CUNT!

After ranting mindlessly over the unfortunate turn of events,..i must concede that Dave is and will always be a lovely person and that i've simply overreacted to this "minor" incident. I have simply allowed myself to go out of control and there is no excuse for my flamboyant outburst. Dave has been a generous host, why he even offered me a piece cake once,(and i've also let my fingers wander into his stored Famous Amos cookies on more than one occasion), so i have to take all of his acts of kindness into consideration. Well anyway, his laptop was missing as well. So i can only assume he brought it and the missing cds to work so that he can watch it during his free time or something. well it's a long shot, but hey, i'd rather think of that as the likely possibility thannuture ideas of a conspiracy against me

So i guess it looks like if the cd doesn't return to the cd wallet any time soon, i'd just have to download those last few episodes myself...how fuckin troublesome. Oh, and The Da Vinci Code is complete bollocks,..starts off and progresses well enough,..then ends rather disappointingly. it's like a ebloody chef who spends meticulously cooking a dish with all the right ingredients,..but then inexplicably falters at some stage and ends up with a less than satisfying dish.Ahh fuck Dan Brown.

2005-04-04T17:25:00.000+08:00

yeah hi,..it's been awhile eh. Haven't actually posted anything of note for close 2 weeks. Other than Incest born retards posting garbage on my tagboard, the blog's been pretty inactive(wonder who's that fuckheaded cunt posting as me,..hope to find a way around schmucks posting using my nick)

Played football today at Hougang primary,..it will probaly be our last till the exams are over. And that's like in a month's time..sighh. i realised i haven't actually posted anything regarding our Hougang primary football adventures. We've been playing there since January or Febuary,i can't recall, and well it's been fun. My brother's the goddamn discipline master there, so we've been offically allowed to use the facilities there without the need of having to tresspass. It really feels odd playing in a school on a weekend without having to tresspass. This really puts things in perespective. After having tresspassed for like close to 10 years playing at Bowen, and then Mayflower campus 2, it feels kinda odd not doing it illegally anymore. I guess that little bit of thrill involved in cutting a hole in the fence , the threat of the unexpected visit by the police,..these are some of the things we will miss. But it's been fun at Hougang Primary,..no doubt about that. It's been not easy getting the numbers. With most of of the old guys now gone the way of the dinosaur(with the exception of Andrew,Mugi Vijay and my brother),...it's been the guys from NTU who have helped keep the football alive...Never thought it would come to this..but it has. So special thanks to Vikram, the Lord, See Yeh, Gopi, and the rest like who aren't regulars like Sulaiman and Vallesh but whose contribution nonetheless is most appeciated, I say this with not a hint of sacarsm..honest!

Watched a few great movies recently, Casino, Closer and Jeux D'enfant. All great movies, but Casino is most definitely the pick of the bunch. It's a sad reminder of the days when Martin Scorsese still directed great movies. Closer for me is all about the performances of the actors especially Clive Owen and Natalie Portman(i'm a big fan of Natalie, though i'm not too keen with her role in Starwars) who by the way completely blew me away. Jeux D'enfant is a movie i watched courtesy of Dhino who owns the vcd. The movie is an offbeat and nasty romantic comedy in every sense of the word.,...and the ending is well literally bittersweet. None of these movie are what you would describe as mainstream cinema(Casino is brutally violent and Closer is equally violent from an emotional perspective), though Jeux D'Enfant was number 1 at the french box office. I can only conclude that the french are a quierky bunch. I downloaded and watched this anime movie classic Princes Mononoke which is another excellent product of Miyazaki, the creator of Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle. This movie is older than both these other movies, but it has excellent animation and an interesting story packed with great characters. My estimation of anime has gone up alot more recently thanks to this and anime series like Naruto and Trigun(oddly enough, this isn't very well known..or i guess my friends are mostly an ignorant bunch).

Less than 2 weeks to the exams..yippee...i'm so looking forward to it. Fuck!

2005-03-19T20:01:00.000+08:00

Watched Howl's Moving Castle a few days back. It's an anime feature from the creator of the academy award winning Spirited Away. Unlike Spirited Away though, HMC eschews straightforward narrative and is far more complexed . It may not be possible to logically explain the entire plot,...but the spellbinding animation,unconventional story and concept lends an ethereal quality that makes it a sight to behold and experience . Though the general audience might be left a bit befuddled by it all, there are a myriad of layers to be explored that makes it great for repeated viewings. In this day and age where 3D animated movies are dominant, HMC proves that conventional authentic animation can still be part of all things that make cinema great, especially when art is placed above the maunfactured goal of pleasing the masses. One point to note though is that it's actually a based on an european children's story book, and not of Japanese origin like most anime.

I have been watching Naruto the last couple of weeks. it's been awhile since i last watched any japanese anime. I'm glad i've rediscovered my fascination for anime, reawakened by this series which has been highly recommended by many of my friends. Yeah i know, i'm like a few years behind Naruto craze which offically first hit full swing back in 2002,...but what the hell..it's never too late!Vikram's roommate has an entire collection of it ripped and burnt,..and i've been "borrowing" and watching it while he's away on industrial attachment(without his knowledge ofcourse..haw haw) Great series, right up there among my all time favourite series such as Evangelion and Samurai X. Currently, i'm at like the 5oth episode. There is still about another 60 plus episodes to go before i complete his collection,..haw haw!

And finally.....ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS OF THE CLAN...WAKE UP...EXAMS ARE COMING IN ABOUT A MONTH"S TIME, AND IT'S TIME TO START STUDYING... ARRRGHHHHHHHH!!!!

2005-03-16T08:05:00.000+08:00

Fucking ponce
You squawk away like a duck
Taking cowardly veiled jabs
Your bitterness can't conceal
Why? have you lost your bottle you moaning cunt

Fucking ponce
All it takes is one gut wrenching challenge
And you'll quieten down
Your tounge tied and your legs destroyed
Your squawking will stop.

Recycled Joke

2005-03-12T16:30:00.000+08:00

Arsene Wenger, Alex Ferguson, and Jose Mourinho all perish in a plane crash and went to meet their maker. The supreme deity turned to Wenger and asked,tell what is important about yourself. Wenger responded that he felt that the earth was the ultimate importance and that protecting the earth's ecological system was most important. God looked to Wenger and said, ' I like the way you think, come and sit at my left hand'. God then asked Ferguson what he revered most. Ferguson responded that he felt people and their personal choices were most important. God responded, ' I like the way you think, come and sit at my right hand'. God then turned to Mourinho, who was staring at him indignantly. God asked 'What is your problem Mourinho?'Mourinho responded ' I think you are sitting in my chair'.

Million Dollar Baby

2005-03-04T04:30:00.000+08:00

Could this be Clint Eastwood's best movie...well that's what some critics say. What do Unforgiven, Mystic River and Million Dollar Baby have in common other than the fact that they are all Clint Eastwood movies. Well it would be the slow relaxed pace which would incite certain quarters of the audience(probably the MTV generation) to describe these movies as being boring and monotonous. Well it would be harsh definitely, considering all 3 movies are examples of great filmmaking,..and the academy itself(though it means very little these days) has acknowledged that. I am not a big fan of Clint Eastwood movies,cause as much as i acknowledge the great art of his movies, i can't bing myself to completely love them. Maybe it has to do with his trademark directing style which often feels laidback and sedated. Anyway,..back to the movie in question,...Million Dollar Baby is a movie filled with great performances from its lead and supporting cast. Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman and Hillary Swank all shine magnificently in their roles. This movie isn't like Rocky,..but ofcourse you all know that..i hope. The basic plot of the movie is Swank, a 32 year old waitress in poverty who dreams of becoming a boxing champion with the purpose of making something out of her life. She persuades Eastwood to train her, and after his initial refusal to do so,..her steely determination convinces him to give her a chance.The final act of the movie moves into more dramatic terriotory moving away from the high action boxing(well choreographed) that makes up the middle portion. At the end of the day, Million Dollar Baby is an excellent movie, quite possibly the best movie of 2004 and it probably deserves its Oscar. But due to the nature of the film, its by no means my favourite.

2005-02-26T17:40:00.000+08:00

I was just looking though my recent posts...and i discovered its been awhile since i actually wrote anything other than movie reviews , stupid poems and football. i don't know. I guess there just isn't anything to write anymore. Life has been pretty boring with mundane and repetitious activities the past few weeks...(football, gym, bridge, movie...football gym, bridge, movie...football, gym..) There's just been nothing exceptionally interesting to write about nor have i been struck by the sudden inspiration to intellectualise the ironies of life. i have no idea why i am even typing this garbage other than for the sake of typing "something". A whole week has just been wasted. In other words,...nothing was achieved or attempted to catch up with my academic commitments..FUCKING HELL! It's the same old story every break week every semester,..and nothing much has changed in the last 3 years of tertiary education. Perhaps i will put in a little effort to do some studying tommorow...maybe..just maybe.

i have watched till epiosde 15 of Desperate Housewives (most of them downloaded)...and i declare that i have not enjoyed a TV series like this since The X-Files years ago. Well ofcourse Desperate housewives isn't as good as The X-Files,...but what is?!! Admittedly,it comes close, and is handsdown the best thing on tv now...other than watching manchester United live ofcourse..haw haw! Desperate Housewives may sound like some family oriented soap opera...but one can ever judge a tv show by its title! This series is quirky in every sense of the word,...ranging from the outrageous to the completely insane. Most significantly, it's laced with dark humour and wicked punchlines that elevates this above the usual garbage we get on tele. This is the sort of entertainment that television has been crying out for,..and now we've got it,... even if personally i don't actually watch it on tv! I don't have the patience to wait for it to be aired on local tv when i can get access to the most recent episodes on the school network..haw haw! Speaking of recent episodes,.i have yet to get around to downloading the most recent OC episode! Arrghh! Oh by the way, The OC has nothing on Desperate housewives....it's several notches below in terms of overall quality and entertainment.

i was watching Shutter this morning,...and it's a decent horror film(a Thai film by the way). Nothing astoundingly original,..but it's effective and has it's moments. The final twist at the end is seriously creepy. I am typing this portion seconds after telling a friend of mine how hollywood rarely dish out good horror fims these days. It's asian cinema that seems to have found the formula for truly terrifying horror cinema. No surprise then that Hollywodd has been remaking successful Asian horror films like The Ring, Ju-on and Dark Water. I have watched the hollywood version of The Ring and i think it's fair to say that though its alright, its hardly as good as the japanese orginal. Perhaps the explanation(other than the obvious reasons like directing and acting) is that the material presented works much better in an asian context than it does in a western setting. I was looking at the trailer for Dark Water and it looks disappointing. I have also read that there are plans to remake The Eye...i wonder how that turns out.

2005-02-22T22:27:00.000+08:00

It was right in front of i
So tempting i could not resist
Without much hesitation i let fly
Succumbing with shameless ease

A glorious feeling of triumph
An immense sense of satisfaction
Then it dawned on me
An empty feeling of compunction

Cause then it occured to me
My personal act of folly
For what i'd shot at
Was yours truly

The Great Arsenal Conspiracy

2005-02-19T04:08:00.000+08:00

Arsenal are supposed to be the English club that have lasted the longest in the top division, since the inception of it more than a hundred years ago. But this is an article i came across recently which suggests the cunts don't deserve to be amongst the elite to begin with...

Arsenal returned to the First Division in 1919 and have been in the top flight of english football ever since. However they never really earned the right to be there when football resumed after WW1.In 1919 the First Division was extended from twenty to twenty two clubs. During previous expansions the two relegated clubs were re-elected, with the top two sides from Division 2 being promoted as usual. In this case, Derby and Preston came up and Chelsea, who had finished nineteenth, were re-elected.For some reason though it was suggested that lowly Arsenal, who had finished 5th in the Second Division in 1915, should be rewarded for their long service to the League with a place in the new Division 1. Strangely, no mention was made of Wolves and Birmingham, who had finished higher than Arsenal that season and had both been league members for longer.The plot was hatched by Arsenal chairman Henry Norris and the League President (and also Liverpool chairman) John McKenna. The two men argued that the Gunners should replace the team that had finished bottom of the First Division in 1915. And that is exactly what happened. And the unfairly relegated club? Tottenham Hotspur.

Before i carry on commenting on 2 movies i've watched recently, i would like to take this opportunity to apologise to Dhino for watching Constantine without him.(which i have to add was not done deliberately or with forethought) I understand, he has had some rough experiences with people recently. So, my careless act of neglecting him, especially when i had given him my solemn word that we would not be watching the movie without him was admittedly damaging.

Constantine

This is one of the few movies i had been looking forward to, regardless of the unfortunate little detail that it's starring Keanu "wooden"Reeves. It's based on the accalimed DC/Vertigo comic book known as Hellblazer, about an exorcist named John Constantine who's caught in the middle of a battle between heaven and hell. Rules forbid demons and angels to take their pure form on earth or to directly cause any form of harm to mortals. Constantine takes it upon himself to be the enforcer of these rules and to protect mortals. Ok,..anyone who's had a conversation with me regarding this movie would have heard this a few million times before, but i have to make my opinion known on this post as well. Well, for one, i strongly believe that though it wasn't a complete casting disaster,...that Johnny Depp should have been given this role which fits him like a glove. These are the kind of roles that he's made for. But alas, they see it fit to give it to Reeves who i must admit was tolerable, surprisingly. But i would think, Depp would have raised this movie a couple of notches. Ultimately, Constantine, isn't the "best" comic book movie ever made, nor is it amongst the best ever made. it matters not that the Constantine character (another thing i mentioned a thousand times before) in this movie isn't British or that he isn't blonde like in the comics. I haven't read the Hellblazer comics( a surprise considering i'm an avid comic book reader), but having come across this character on several other comics like Books of Magic, it's fair to say the essence of Consatantine wasn't effectively translated onto the big screen. Try as he may, Keanu Reeves doesn't convincingly nail the role of a cynical anti hero with a razor sharp sense of humour. It also dioesn't help that large chunks of the mid section of the movie ware draggy and run of the mill. The movie lacks the spark, kinetic energy and the brilliance to be placed among movies like Spiderman, Batman or X-men. in fact, it doesn't even measure up to Guillermo Del Toro's Hellboy, which was a far more satisfying movie.

Napoleon Dynamite

This is something i downloaded and watched during Chinese New year period. This movie was out in the states last year and it got some decent reviews. i can't remember if i had seen the trailer before, but i guremember being fascinated by the title of the movie which sounded like some weird zany independant film. Anyway,...this film is probably the ultimate geekfest. It's far geekier than Rushmore, which itself isn't a geek film at heart though the main chracter is one. Napoleon Dynamie is a loser, and perhaps the best part about the movie is that it makes no obvious attempt to make him a likeable loser. The movie settles for the audience to come to terms with this character and to accept him as he is. The movie isn't really laugh out loud funny either. It's more subtle, kind of oddball and dry. But there are occasional scenes where the utter ridiculousness and silliness of it all is capable of inducing uncontrollable laughter. The movie never moves into dumb teen comedy territory,..and keeps it as real as possible. The events that take place never seem contrived and seem to be plausible within the social settings and the kind of eccentric chracters that populate it. This movie is anything but mainstream. It will not draw crowds in droves,..but is sure to achieve cult status.

Fancy Lies we speak
Concealing wicked sins we commit
Deviously manufactured
Mishmashed and manipulated

But alas you've forgotten
I'm the king of all my brethren
Fool me you cannot
"Clueless fuckwit" i'm not

Liars we are
Sinners we all are
Scumbags we are
Deceivers we all are

...Then I thought perhaps it was too soon
Now i'm not too sure
Cause now the moment is gone...

More Movies

2005-02-07T07:50:00.000+08:00

The past week i managed to catch a few more movies,..all on dvd...

Finding Neverland

This is easily the best movie of the lot. I am not sure if i'm being biased cause it's a Jhonny Depp movie... I tend to think that his movies are average at worst except maybe for Nick Of Time which i have to admit is awful with or without Depp. Finding Neverland is an imaginative story of playwright JM Barrie 's inspiration which was the basis of perhaps his greatest and most well known work Peter Pan. As always,Jhonny Depp playing the lead charcter never fails to captivate. He's an actor of great versatility(Edward Scissorhands, Sleepy Hollow, Donnie Brasco, From Hell, Blow, Pirates Of the Carribean...) and its once again greatly evident in his role which he nails with comfortable ease. Once again, he's got a academy award nomination for acting, and i sure hope he wins it this time.The understated tone and relaxed pace of the movie doesn't drag nor is it boring. Instead,..it imbues the movie with the magic and charm that makes it a wonderful movie going experience.

Flight Of The Phoenix

This is easily the worst movie of the lot by a country mile. It isn't completey bad and does have some redeeming qualities....whch is..which is...err..nevermind. The movie is a remake of an older classic about a bunch of survivors from a plane crash who construct a new plane from the remnants of the crashed. Ok, so there is one redeeming factor,..and that is Giovani Ribisi who steals the show as the geeky engineer everyone loves to hate...haw haw! His character is one fuckin jerk,..but i find him strangely likable..just my personal opinion though. Oh,.anyway...please do not waste your precious money on this movie when it opens at the theatres. Just get a cheap pirated dvd version like the one was watching on. The quality is srewed but it isn't that bad and it's tolerable enough.

The Aviator

Finally i got to watch the movie we all skipped to watch Kinsey. The Lord had it downloaded on his computer a couple of weeks ago,..and i watched it in the wee hours of saturday morning with nothing else to do. The surprising thing about The Aviator is that it's better than i expected. But,no...it's not in the same class as Hotel Rwanda or Kinsey. But i guess i found it alright cause i was watching it with a much lowered expectation after the numerous criticisms i've read and heard about it. One thing though,..Leo Di caprio certainly deserved his Oscar nomination. But i feel the problem with Di Caprio is that his boyish looks will always be a curse. It doesn't matter how much make up he piles on,..or beard he grows,...he seems eternally youtful and that's not a good thing as far as getting into some of his characters is concerned...But once again,..that's just my opinon. Atleast, unlike the Keanu Reeves of this world,...he has sufficient talent to match his looks! The Aviator is a good movie...and perhaps if it wasn't directed by Scorsese might be even considered to be better than that.But because it is a Scorsese film,...the expectatioons will always be immense. And when the result falls short of these expectations,..it will be considered a minor failure of sorts even if the movie is good in it's own respect. It may seem unfair, but what else could anyone expect from a director who's given us classics like Taxi Driver, Good Fellas, Casino, Raging Bull..and such. Yeah, one thing all these movies have in common:Robert De Niro. Maybe, Scorsese's recent failures is simply crying out for the director to once gain work with the great actor. Anyway, that doesn't seem likely in the near future, as his next preject once again involves Leo Di Caprio in a remake of the Hk classic Infernal Affairs. Hopefully, that turns out to be much better than his recent efforts.

Highbury Massacre

2005-02-04T05:25:00.000+08:00

Haw Haw! What a game! Non-stop acion from start to finish. In the end United came out worthy winners in the clash of England's most bitter rivals. It was United's first win at Highbury since 1999 and it was one to savour. Down 2-1 at half time, the Red Devils came out firing at all cylinders to equalise and take a 3-2 lead in a 4 minute period of madness when Arsenal's defence lead by the "great bald hope" of Cygan conspired to bottle it and hand United 2 goals(scored emphatically by the wonderboy Ronaldo,assisted by the evergreen Ryan Giggs) on the platter....haw haw! Sheer ecstacy at the TV room, where masses of United, Arse and neutral supporters had gathered to witness a spectacle which ranks up there among the best EPL games ever played. Outfought, out played, and out manouevered tactically, it was man against boys as Arsene's wankers catipulated. There was a little ray of hope when Silvestre fell for 'gay boy' Ljunberg's bait, headbutted him and got himself sent off. But a resolute United defence managed by the magnificent Ferdinand stood firm and repelled everything Arsenal threw at them. Then in the dying minutes, a supreme throughball to O Shea put him clean through. Then, as if to lay down 'a big fuck you' to all his detractors(myself included), he executed a skilfull lob which flew over the hapless Alumina and nestled in the bottom right corner of goal. The expression on his face after he scored was priceless. It was a look of sheer disbelief. But i'm not certain if it disbelief that the goal was not disallowed for offside(which for the record wasn't offside) and or if he was completely taken aback by his own piece of skill neither he nor any football fan thought he was ever capable of...haw haw!As the final whistle blew, the look of defeat and a deflated ego on the face of proffessor pedophile was a marvellous sight to behold. It was a stark contrast to the knight from Manchester who celebrated is victory over his arch nemesis with great pomp!...sigh...This is what football is all about!

Highlight of the game: Rooney taunting Pires for his shaved chin...haw haw...classic!

Movies

2005-02-01T07:57:00.000+08:00

In the past month, i have caught a few movies which i have yet to mention in my posts. i will thus dedicate this post entirely to commenting on some of these films...starting with..

Kinsey

Watched this a couple of weeks back with the Lord and Vikram at Great World. We weren't planning to watch this originally on that day. We were suppose to catch The Aviator. But after some last minute reconsideration, caused by some less than impressive reviews given by individuals who had already watched The Aviator, we decided watching Kinsey would be the better option. Anyway, we recently manged to download a dvd quality version of The Aviator online, so i'd say it was a good decison to give the movie a miss originally. That's 6 dollars and 50 cents saved. But regardless of that,..Kinsey is a great movie. I don't remember watching much of Liam Neeson in movies. 2 movies that come to my mind are Schindler's List and Dark man. He was great in both of them, though i thought he was overshadowed by my one time favourite Ralph Fiennes in Schindler's list, while Darkman owed much of its success to its comic book visuals and the direction of Sam Raimi. Anyway, Kinsey is unlike any movie i recall ever watchig. It's a biopic of Dr Alfred Kinsey, a biological scientist who becomes fascinated with human sexual behaviour, researching and writing on the subject. Alot of controvesial stuff that the normal viwer might object to or find difficult to stomach. A certain scene in which Liam Neeson engages in making out with his male research student is sure to cause homophobics to faint in their seats. But perhaps the highlight of the movie is a certain peodophile who has had sex with almost everyone and everything(family members, children to animals), who is able to masturbate and ejaculate in a record 10 seconds from a completely flaccid state!

Hotel Rwanda

This is arguably as good or better than Kinsey. We watched this just a few days apart from Kinsey. Though it isn't as provocative, it the movie moves along generating extreme moments of tension. Another of 2004's best movie,..this traces a true story set in 1994, during a civil war which erupted in Rwanda where members of the Tutsis were hunted down and massacred by the Hutu tribe. The story revolveses around a hotel manager, Paul Rusesabagina, played by Don Cheadle,in perhaps his most memorable and serious role yet, who goes through great lengths and means to keep Tutsi refugees including his wife and children safe from the blood thirsty hatred of the Hutus. Hotel Rwanda is no Schindler's list which it shares certain similarities with. Schindler's list is one of the best movie's ever made,..and Steven Spielberg's best. Hotel Rwanda is great in its own right. But it would be ridiculous to compare the merits of both movies. The acting in Hotel Rwanda by Don Cheadle especially raises the film. The movie doesn't depict violence as savagely and cold bloodedly as it is in Schindler's list, though the corpses than line and completely cover the street in one paticular scene is a gripping image whichs serves to remind us of the horrors of genocide.

Old Boy

I just caught this movie on dvd a couple days back. This Korean film was out in the theatres towards the end of the year during the examination period, and i was unable to catch it though i was very keen. It was a movie which was in direct competition with Fahrenheit 911 at the Cannes fim festival , where the judging panel was headed by none other than film maestro Quentin Tarantino. Though Fahrenheit 911 won, Tarantino was adamant Old boy should have taken the prestigous Palm D'or. I admit i was originally attracted to this movie due to its dark noirish looking poster at GV Grand plus the fact that it was being vouched by my favourite film maker. Fast foward to january, and i get my hand on the Old Boy DVD Vikram purchased. The movie's a roller coaster ride from beginning to end, and it would have been impossible to predict the numerous plot twists that take place, which don't seem to be contrived but to serve the purpose of the story. The story is about a man who is imprisoned by unknown captors for 15 years in a room, where all he has is a television that feeds him with information and keeping track of time. He is drugged by gas regularly to keep his senses weak and dormant. He is also framed for the murder of his wife. 15 years later, he is released under mysterious circumstances waking up in a suitcase. Determined to find the person responsible for taking away 15 years of his life and the murder of his wife, he goes on personal crusade to find the person and to discover the reason he was subjected to imprisonment. The story rarely unfolds in a manner the audience would expect when what seems like an ordinary tale of revenge turns out to be something more sinister and twisted. The no holds barred violence, black humour, and pounding soundtrack gives this stylish noir thriller a look and feel not very much unlike a Tarantino movie. This won't be a movie for everyone's liking,..but those who have a penchant for darkly violent movies in the vein of tarantino, laced with caustic wit and mind boggling plot twists will love this gem of a Korean movie, which for the record is the best Korean movie i've ever seen. And no, it isn't the only Korean movie i've seen.

Lost my wallet last night at Jurong west extension just outside campus....sigh. I think it dropped off my pocket or something. It happened shortly after i bought a drumstick at a pasar malam. Vikram keeps telling me how i wouldn't have lost it if i hadn't taken out my wallet to pay for the drumstick which by the way was a dollar fifty and hardly worth it! ARRGHHH! My wallet containing 95 dollars and my ez link card with atleast 3 weeks worth of student concession all gone...just like that! It's a case of it being there in my pocket one moment and then doing a houdini the next! FUCK! i just wish i had been more careful,..but i for the life of mine cannot imagine how i could have lost it. It's remotely possible i got pickpocketed though that remains the least likely possibilty. I'm going to feel miserable about this loss niggling at the back of my head for the next 2 weeks. Thanks to the kindness of members of the Clan of Ragavendra,...i can go on surviving on borrowed cash for the rest of the week. I hope i atleast get back my wallet. Marie bought me that for christmas back in 2003..sigh.

The Silence Of The Nightingale

2005-01-17T20:00:00.000+08:00

Hall 5 Blk 31 is the residence of its most talented singer, the Nightingale. The Nightingale is a title bestowed upon him by none other than one who harbours me illegally at his room, Vikram Gronkjaer. Vikram is the Nightingale's biggest fan,..and he's always waxing lyrical over his astounding voice that puts many of our very own Singapore idol contestants to shame(which in itself isn't much of an achievement to be honest).

It was thursday 13 January. i was on the comp in vikram's room when Vikram walked in , bitching about the Nightingale. Apparently, the Nightingale was having his shower,... and accompanied by his usual "heavenly" singing voice. Curious, i decided that i should pay this Nightingale individual a visit, since i've never ever actually heard him sing.

As i stepped into the toilet, the inhuman voice that emanated from the middle shower room almost knocked me senseless. I never thought it was possible to hear someone with such dreadful vocals attempt to sing so confidently completely unawareb of the damage he was doing to the ear drums of innocent bystanders. So i decided, that i should do the public a service by silencing this nuisance who was responsible for massive noise pollution.

I strolled up to the first shower room just beside the center one where he was taking his shower. There was no one else present in the toilet at that juncture. I rotated the shower head so that it pointed up 45 degreess to the right in the direction of the center shower room . Then swiftly i turned on the tap to its fullest, and made a run for it. The Nightingale's reaction was instantaneous. It was something along the lines of "OH shit!!!", as cold water fell upon him from above, followed by a completely sissy sounding yell which went something like "HEYYYYY"... Haw Haw!..It was pure delirium! Haw Haw! As i reached Vikram's room.. i simply kicked my sandals aside, and ran inside! The feeling of rush was immense! It felt great being the cause someone's torment though i personally didn't have anything against this person...ok except maybe his horrific singing.

Well, the next time the Nightingale decides to get back to his old singing ways,...you can bet on me being there to silence the bastard! When society is plagued by the ills of bad singing,...the darkness of thy will be unleashed to overwhelm and truimph over the disease.

Scouse Bastards Lose! (No Offense To Merseyside Blue)

2005-01-16T08:10:00.000+08:00

What a performance from the red devils as they once again destroy the Bin Dippers at Anfield,..courtesy of Agent Dudek, our faithful servant. That's a double over the Bin Dippers for this season,..though these days that doesn't mean much!

The most "disgusting" aspect of the match was perhaps the fact that i was asleep for the whole of the first half..FUCK! Luckily, i managed to catch the half time highlights... and Dudek's blunderwhich resulted in Rooney scoring(completely "disgusting")..haw haw! Keane had a shot which came off the under side of the cross bar. It would have been game set and match if that had gone in! Benitez's Spanish armada were as "disgustingly" ineffective against British grit as ever... I think they only have 2 truly quality players from all that junk they imported from Spain. It didn't help that one was on his debut(as good as he's at debuts, Morientes is still finding match fitness), and the other wasn't even playing(bless Lampard).

The second half saw Wes Brown getting sent off for a second bookable offence. The fuckin referee was on their side all the way with his decisons, though he wasn't dodgy enough to award a penalty! The defense without Rio and Gary were top notch, as Silvestre and my personal favourite Heinze snuffed out any possible threat Liverpool's highly impotent attack could muster.That tackle on Morientes in the penalty was top drawer! Scholes and Keane ruled midfield and reduced Gerrad and Hamman to mere passengershaw haw! Liverpool managed just 2 shots the whole game, a "disgusting" performance which offerred no clearer indicator of how far behind United they are in terms of quality and class, though United were under strength. i can imagine them getting hammered, if Giggs had played and Brown had not got himself sent off.

The result offered mild consolation to the "disgusting" fact that Chelsea can't stop winning and are now 11 points ahead. But on the plus side,..Arsene's wankers lost! haw haw haw! That means we're just a point behind and we could very well make atleast that second position ours! Arsenal seem to be crumbling and that's just lovely! Chelsea don't look like they are going to falter at the moment,..but as we know in football,..anything is possible!

Of A Broken Heart

2005-01-12T06:30:00.000+08:00

if only i die
just once in my life
if only to try
to take a guess, to be the best
a feeling i hide
that runs this world, that keeps us alive
i want you to climb with me

until i die of a broken heart
a broken heart
until i die of a broken heart
a broken heart
until i die

the heart of a child
is in your hands now
so let's see you smile'cause i'm not impressed with your loneliness
and it's been a while
since you forgave all your changes made
so let's count the miles together

until i die of a broken heart
a broken heart
until i die of a broken heart
a broken heart
until i die of a broken hearta broken heart
until i die

if only i die
just once in my life
if only to try together

until i die of a broken hearta broken heart
until i die of a broken hearta broken heart
until i die of a broken hearta broken heart
until i die

Friday night (or Saturday morning) was splendid! Stayed over night at Vikram's place, and we played X box and cards the whole night. We had the Lord, Dhino, Sulaiman, Afzal and Mathieu over that night. The alcohol assisted in keeping us awake..haw haw! Mind you it wasn't beer(ok maybe just a little beer)...Me and Vikram had bought some wine(a vain attempt to become more cultured and sophisticated). Dhino bought some Doritos which went well along with the wine. We started the night with Halo(everyone's favourite game), followed by DEf Jam and Burnout 3. Later, a few of us got together in Vikram's room to play cards. We taught Dhino how to play Bridge, and were marvelled by his mind games that completely fooled everyone! Afzal had a game the following evening and went to sleep around 6am, while the Lord knocked out at close to 7am. Mathieu left a little while after that. The remaining 4 of us, Sulaiman, Dhino, Vikram and i played non-stop tai ti (we enjoyed the sight of the rising sun viewed from the open balcony, accompanied by some good soothing music) all the way till 12pm.

The Highlight of yesterday was surely the Tiger Cup final match first leg played between Sigapore and Indonesia. Some awful defending and indiscipline resulted in Indonesia conceding 3"disgusting" goals before scoring a flukey deflected goal in stoppage time. The result was unexpected(no one expected Sungapore to score 3 goals playing away)..but the late Indonesian goal meant it was not a foregone conclusion since Indonesia still have everything to play for in the 2nd leg. Indonesia's come back against Malaysia when they were losing 3-1 on aggregate, and then scoring 4"disgusting" goals to win the semi -final clearly supports the theory for a Indonesian comeback in the 2nd leg final. That will be one hell of a match to look forward to next Sunday, after the Manchester United vs Liverpool match on Saturday! It's going to be a blockbuster football weekend!

2005-01-07T07:30:00.000+08:00

Watching the United game the other day,..and damn those bastards were lucky the match officals were suffering from acute myopia...fuck! Roy Carrol's blunder was less shocking than that of the referee and the lines man. Well that's one point earned rather than 2 points dropped, even if we're 11 points adrift of Chelsea. Was reading the New Paper today, and i was shocked to discover that British Bookmakers William HIll paid out on Pedro Mendes' disallowed goal to punters who backed Mendes to score the first goal. Also, they refunded all bets placed on spurs to win. Haw HAw! Fucking weird! If they keep doing this for every controvesial decison that affects the result of a game from now on, they are going to be paying out a lot more!

Anyway, i'm just looking forward to the liverpool vs United game on the 15th. That's going to be a cracker! We need to rip those scouse bastards apart at Anfield. If can just keep Gerrad in check, it shouldn't be a problem.

My legs are dead! I would attribute that to close to 6 hours of football with little break yesterday. It was fuckin crazy! But seriously, i don't ever remember playing so much football in one day ever before. The Lord and I had to literally drag ourselves back to our rooms after that. Football was fun though, though it was difficult to keep up with the pace in the latter stages when tiredness set in and i began getting cramps all over my body.But nonetheless, it was some experience!

Looking forward to a whole bunch of movies coming out in the next couple of months, like The Aviator, Hotel Rwanda, Finding Neverland, Constantine.... It's going to be a blast! December wasn't the best month for movies, except for Kung Fu hustle and maybe Saw. So here's hoping that the next couple of months will provide a much better experience at the theaters.

Oh and one last comment reserved for Cheeky,.... do what you need to do at home...not at the office!

Happy Fuckin New Year

2005-01-02T05:50:00.000+08:00

Well, about that,..went to sleep at 6am and just woke up. At Vikram's place right now.Vikram isn't back yet! We wrecked his place...turned it completely upside down!!! But atleast me and the Lord cleaned up...haw haw haw! Wait till he comes back and finds all that beer cans and bottles in his fridge!

We had Dhino, Matthew(Dhino's french friend who brought the champagne), Afzal, Ash( Afzal's friend or girl friend..god knows) and even Aneez(extreme times require extreme measures),.. Sometimes if you need more people in the house to make up the numbers, you can either invite the lowlife homeless on the street or you invite Aneez. We went with aneez this time. We also had another of Afzal's friend(can't recall his name).. We have to thank him for all the alcohol and food he provided. Aziz, Cheeky, Tajong Pagar Gopi, and Arjun all couldn't make it.

I didn't actually get wasted like what Dhino(that prick) is trying to portray on my tagboard, ..cause i never drank too much anyway. Anyway, we spent the night playing xbox.(Dhino for teh record, lost 2-0 using Argentina to the Lord's Sweden playing pro evolution and got completely thrashed by Matthew playing Burnout 3), cards(The Lord refused to do his forfeit of performing abelly dance when he came up as the biggest loser playing tai ti), watching movies they were shoing on TV( Untouchables, Interview with the Vampire), and watching a DVD movie(28 days later). I recommended that one, and Matthew agreed after teh movie that it's a good film which it is! The Lord went to sleep at about 4 plus. i remember falling asleep in Vikram's room during a converstaion with Dhino who was heartily engaged in chatting with American chicks online. When i woke up at about 830,..i walked into the living room, and everyone was already gone...it felt strange( abit like the guy in 28 days later who woke up to find himslef alone in London). I cleaned up the place a bit before going back to sleep.

Well, anyway,..happy new year once again guys,..and let's hope for a great year ahead after that miserable piece of crap that was 2004!

The End Of The World?

2004-12-31T03:30:00.000+08:00

Tidal waves, fuckin Tsunamis, earthquakes,....thousands of people perishing world wide...Did Nostradamus get it wrong by a few years?! Having watched Day After Tommorow just last week, the eerie similarities of some of the events in the movie and what's going on right now in many parts of the world creates a feeling of dread. Half The world might not go into ice age, killing millions like it was depicted so dramatically in that movie.But the prospect of doom that threatens to destroy the life on our world, maybe in the next 100 years is sad and frightening. The great majority of us may escape the brunt of nature now. Our descendants though maybe the ones who suffer the cruel fate handed out by destiny. Only time will tell.

KUNG FU POWER!

2004-12-31T03:06:00.000+08:00

it's been about a week since i viewed this 'classic' in the making. I have been wanting to write about it, and i've delayed it till today. Kung Fu Hustle is quite simply the best movie i have had the pleasure of viewing this holidays. It's simply exceptional! In a holiday season, where i have watched good movies( The Incredibles), promising movies( Saw, Ocean's Twelve), tolerable ones( National Treasure, Casshern) and one truly awful movie(Blade Trinity), Kung Fu Hustle stands out as the ultimate blockbuster! It was a pleasant surprise, cause this was quite literally the first ever mandarin movie i watched at the theaters. And i came out bowled over by its marvellousness. The caste, direction, cinematography, action, special effects, quite simply every aspect you would find in a movie is top notch. The stylishness and zany humour(even if its typical of Stephen Chow) is a breath of fresh air. In one of the rarer occasions in a high budget movie, the money was actually well spent to produce an unforgettable movie going experience.

I have been watching a few HK/mandarin movies the past month. Hero, Young and Dangerous series, and the Infernal Affairs saga. I must say that i have discovered plenty of gold where i never bothered digging. When it comes to Asian cinema, i usually only pay attention to Japanese Cinema. I have always been enthralled by Akira Kurosawa(Rashamon) , samurai movies(Zaitoichi), Horror(Ring) and Anime(Akira, Ninja Scroll). So i was pleasantly surprised by the high level of quality that can also be found in Chinese Cinema. Especially the above mentioned Kung Fu Hustle! Hopefully, by the end of my holidays, i'll have completed watching the whole of Young And Dangerous series and House of Flying Daggers.. ho hO HO!

Tales In My Head 4

part 2

There were twenty of them. It had not rained like it did that day, for as long as they could remember. The winds blew furiously, and many trees that had survived the test of time succumbed collapsing to meet bitter ends. Far away behind, thick smoke rose to meet the heavens above further darkening the already pitch black sky. Their leader, the most devilish of the lot, Gabriel, sensed something was amiss. He knew he had nothing to worry, having just annihilated an entire tribe of their worst enemies. Nevertheless, he instructed his men to be on guard, and to be prepared for anything.

At that instant, he heard a terrifying scream. The “Outsiders” were afar too slow to react as they fell dead one by one. Gabriel was stunned. Only he remained. His warriors had all been annihilated before they even knew what hit them. He scanned his surroundings rapidly. His eyes searched in vain for the invisible attacker. He sensed a presence behind, and immediately turned ready to hit back. The attacker was an individual adorned in black from head to toe, carrying a shot gun in one hand and a long bloodied spear in the other. Gabriel immediately knew that this was the man known as the ‘Bounty Hunter’ who had been responsible for the death of many of his clan people. His eyes reddened with rage. He reached for his gun in his holster, only to find himself lying on his back the very next moment, excruciating pain filling his chest. The ‘Bounty Hunter’ was far more accomplished with his weapon than he was with his. The human walked up to him, his weapon held high, and chuckled in a manner so vile that it would have made ‘Hannibal Lecter’ proud.

“You ‘Outsiders’ aren’t as tough as they claim. Not the kind of challenge I anticipated. It was way too easy!! Hmm ... You seem a bit different from your fallen comrades!! You’re the leader of this pack aren’t you? I’ll relish taking your life.” the ‘Bounty Hunter’ ridiculed.

The ‘Bounty Hunter’ pointed his shotgun at Gabriel. Gabriel said his prayers, knowing that he was approaching his end. His heart was at his throat. He shut his eyes tight, awaiting the sound of the trigger to be pulled, the cold grip of death to envelop his being. There was only silence. He waited…….and he waited. He waited a while longer, and then slowly but reluctantly opened his eyelids. He was astonished by the sight of the ‘Bounty Hunter’ lying dead with his throat maliciously ripped open. Gabriel scanned his surroundings, and he could not believe what he saw standing majestically atop a boulder. It was the old man.

“I observed him as he slaughtered your men. But I couldn’t let him take you as well. That would be too easy a death for you, you murderer. You will pay for the innocent lives you took away at Aria. I will not kill you with my bare hands. Instead, I will simply leave you here to starve and go straight to hell.” the old man said with great hatred expressed in his voice.

“You! ...you are supposed to be blind!” muttered Gabriel weakly.

The old man smiled mockingly at Gabriel. Imadil’s cries stopped ringing in his head. He turned and walked away

“Come back…..don’t leave me here. Please. I beg you.” cried Gabriel in vain.

Gabriel knew that his time had finally had come. But he was not worried by the prospect of death as much as he dreaded being outdone by the old man. A cruel taste of his own medicine. At that moment, the clouds above parted and the stars revealed themselves once more shining brighter than ever. Gabriel smiled, tears rolling off his cheeks.

The End

2004-12-22T12:30:00.000+08:00

Well...3 days more to Christmas... Only God knows how that's going to turn out. Pray for me my friends that nothing disastrous happens...or you could simply come and visit me when i get warded at Tan Tock Seng after a failed attempt at suicide(yeah my life is punctuated with failures)...Nah i don't think so...I am not going to hand a christmas present to individuals who would wish for misfortune and suffering to befall me (i estimate that's about half of the people i know...if i'm lucky)

American Literature Exam will be this thursday...and i have yet to get started revising. I think one day should be more than enough. I've been at home the last couple of days doing the usual(watering the plants, feeding the fish and the parrots) Found out this morning that one of the fish died...Haw Haw! Not sure what i'm gonna tell my dad...Maybe i shouldn't have fed him with the leftover twisties...oh well. Everytime my parents go on an overseas trip, and i have to do the chores at home, something just has to go wrong(or in other words, something has to die)! The last time, a couple of plants died(ok maybe i didn't water them properly..one can get pretty sloppy when you have the luxury of a a water hose). The previous time last year, a couple of fish met with premature deaths(Though it wasn't my fault they were getting poisoned by the paint peeling off the sides of the ancient fish tank). So i guess,...i am keeping up with tradition. I hope my brother's plants do fine. I had to water his plants cause he's overseas as well...arrggh!

New Asia was fun last saturday. Though it didn't seem to be as happening as the previous time, when i got wasted! I was there with the Lord, Afzal, vikram, Aziz and a couple of others. Messy Haired Guy aka Kavin couldn't make it unfortunately.Came across familar faces like Siva, Ranesh and Jeffrey. The highlight of the night was surely when the Lord got wasted. He apparently puked, and then fell asleep at the couch near the gents(that's what happens when one tries to be like me)....fuckin schmuck...fancy laughing at me getting wasted the previous time..Haw Haw! Well, we didn't let that spoil our night as we continued setting the dance floor on fire as the Lord was sound asleep..He woke up just in time, when it was all over(how considerate) Not sure when we'll be heading to New Asia next, cause i've had enough of it for now... Next year i guess!

Watched alot of movies recently,... most of it on DVD,..and the worst of it has to be National Lampoon's Dorm Daze, which is quite possibly the worst teen comedy i've ever seen. Just when you think they couldn't come up with something worse than Eurotrip, you get something as idotic as Dorm daze fed to you which completely redefines the genre of 'dumb teen comedy'. Anyway, i also watched Young and Dangerous 3, and i thought it was actually better than the original(surprise surprise). So i guess it is still humanly possible to produce a sequel superior to the original. So why is it we still get movies like Blade Trinity stinking up our cineplexes!

Tales In My Head 4

2004-12-14T06:15:00.000+08:00

part 1

The night sky was magnificent. The stars of distant galaxies shone and radiated ever so brightly. Each of them glowed with a different colour from the other. It made it that much easier to tell them apart. The red one was Kadabi, the furthest of them all, where the gods were to said to reside, watching over the rest of the universe. The orangey spiked shaped orb was Ithacca, the most fascinating one, where the answers to the mysteries of the universe were said to be waiting, to be discovered.

The old man raised his head, which rested upon his tired shoulders. Tears filled his blind eyes. He could not see, but he could sense the beauty of the heavens above. How he wished he could be instantly teleported to one of those faraway stars, to a land that promised much more than the wretched death plagued scum infested golgotha that he was unfortunate enough to be associated with. At his feet, lay Imadil, his best friend, and the brother he never had, gone to ‘ancestral paradise’. His head lay crushed, and his guts strewn across the rocky ruins of Aria. An entire tribe had been massacred.

The old man was not one of the tribe. But he was one of them in spirit and the camaraderie that they shared. His heart aggrieved at the thought of what he had lost. These people had treated him as one of their own. He lived with them, hunted with them, sharing in their sorrow and happiness. The marauding ‘Outsiders’ that had been responsible for this tragedy did not share the same opinion, sparing his life. They shunned his pathetic pleas to spare the life of his best friend. Imadil was cold bloodedly murdered right before his eyes. His screams still rang in his head, haunting him.
Dark clouds gathered. The brightness that was scarcely present dimmed, as the last remaining light from the stars above vanished from the bloody surface of Aria. Drops of water came down, and with a few ear shattering cracks of thunder, it began pouring like a bunch of spears being thrown by angels above. Akuma, the deity of the tribe carved from the giant oak stood in intimidation, rooted to its spot, as it had been for a thousand years.

In an instant, a devilish lightning struck the statue, and it split in two right at the center and burst into hellish fire. Sparks flew, and hit the old man smack on his forehead. His eyes widened. He blinked. His eyeballs shifted left, right, down, and above. He could see!!! But the old man was not filled with a sense of wonder or awe that one might expect of someone who has not seen the world for much of one’s life. He was brimming with wrath and hatred and at that moment, the only thing that filled his mind was a strong cry of vengeance. Imadil’s screams echoed in his head.

To Be Continued

Everton

2004-12-12T03:50:00.000+08:00

Due to Dhino's grumblings recently that i've failed to mention Everton's phenomenal run in the EPL,..i've decided to dedicate today's post to well... Everton. Yeah, this is unexpected magnanimity on my part,especially since i don't usally give a rat's ass about Everton...But after today's win over Liverpool,..i feel it's pretty much deserved. It's quite unbelievable,..how a team made up of a bunch of untalented wankers have a been able to grind the right results week in week out to climb to a position as high as 2nd above Arsenal,who still by the way have a game in hand. Well,...the only explanation can be tactics(credit goes to David Moyes) and what is rather used too commonly these days,a term known as "team spirit". I guess it's easy to say that Everton possess plenty of this "team spirit"... Question is,...does that mean that the teams they play and get results against have any less of this "team spirit". Perhaps. Otherwise, what could explain a team like liverpool, which showed great grit and heart in scoring 3 goals in the 2nd of their champs league game to secure a place in the latter stages, or a team like Bolton wanderers , who have a great reputation of being giant killers, to succumb to this little blue team from mersey side... I guess the only explanation is a lack of motivation or drive on the part of these teams against a lesser team... Harsh? pethaps. But this theory is further enhanced by the Liverpool lineup that played against Everton today...which in the eyes of many Liverpool fans especially was a utter and complete joke considering the importance of tradition concerning a derby match. Could it be that, as well as Everton are performing,...even their great merseyside rivals could not be bothered enough to field a half decent team...hmm..perhaps. Maybe this just goes to show that, as well Everton do in the league, why they could even win it,.... they will always remain a small time club,...And going by evidence,..will not be shown any more respect than they've already been given . I'm just hypothesizing here....But i do ask myself this question. Why is it i don't give a fuck or bothered that Everton are currently second and most importantly above United,..and is supported by a "3 quarter Ryan, 1 quarter Seth" wannabe who never fails to diss United every chance he gets...really,....i have no other explanation... I will leave the football inteligentsia to ponder over this,..atleast till something significant comes along, like the Chelsea- Arsenal clash tommorow.

2004-12-05T17:00:00.000+08:00

Yeah i know...it's been awhile since my last entry. yeah and i know, i have no excuses either since the exams have been long over...but damn i have either been pretty busy occupied with things to do or i've been feeling plain lazy to type anything. Christmas will be in a few weeks , and i'm looking forward to it... for certain reasons. Anyway,...the last couple of weeks have been spent performing a simple routine of attending my General Elective lessons on mondays, wednesdays and Fridays(American literature..yes i still can't believe that i am actually doing it...and i'm feeling no more arty than i was 2 weeks ago), and otherwise spending my time watching countless dvds and downloaded movies on vikram's comp(Paths Of Glory was the best of the lot ..Stanley Kubrick goes up one more notch on my estimation), playing X box(it doesn't matter if toshiba come up with a new game console and hundreds of new games..we will still be playing Winning Eleven..the best football game ever), going to the movies( Saw was bloody), football, ..oh and chilling out at Vikram's place with The Lord on friday/saturday since his parents aren't in the country...Haw Haw Haw! The unspeakable activities carried out in his humble condominium abode will not be revealed on this entry,...especially the highlight which involves the Lord and a certain Sonic the hedgehog....i will not even start on Vikram's one eyed lion...these pages will be visited by youngsters and adults alike..and i wish to keep it clean of any filth that might play upon young innocent minds.

Speaking of things ive been up to....i've been spending the last week watching downloaded episodes of the first season of The OC (yes it's that addictive,...even to a jaded tv viewer like me)... cough cough...to all doubters and sceptics alike,...let me just put it across to you that 'The OC' isn't the worst tv drama series ever made(that' would be CSI...kidding), and it's not new millenium version of Beverly Hills 90210(which was obviosly crap) nor is it just a sappy teen drama about group of teenage wankers falling in love, breaking up, and sleeping with one another till all the possible combinations of couples are used up...ok mybe i'm wrong about the last bit...but it's definitely not a typical teen drama,..cause rest assured i wouldn't be caught anywhere near it otherwise. The most interesting thing about The OC is the focus on the adult characters,...and though that bit might play abit like a soap opera,...it's still well handled and well acted... As for the teenage cast,...well...the most surprising bit is all the main chacters are multi dimensional and not some caricatures that we usually associate with teen dramas and dumb teen comedies... Anyway,...as addictive as The OC can be....it's still not in the same class as my all time favourites,..which are the first few seasons of X files(the haunting theme music is timeless)and Chicago Hope...which will forever top my all time list of favourite tv shows... Tv shows these days can't hold a candle to those classics...

New Asia was fun last week....till i got wasted! yeah completely wasted (caution...Black cat is not meant to be downed like beer, especially in large quantity)... out of control on the dance floor, struggling to maintain my balance as the music pounded in the background(the music was absymal..but when you're high...everything rocks..yes even Britney spears..ok maybe not),swearing(as i am led to believe by my companions,..like i don't otherwise!), good ol fashioned vomitting... the whole works. Thanks to my friends who must have loved the sight of my wasted self, and hated me in equal measure for ruining their 'clubbing experience'... my sincere apologies to Vikram, The Lord and especially Kavin aka Tanjong Pagar Gopi for sending me home and who had to bear with my incessant whining and sobbing during the entire journey back on the taxi....Haw Haw Haw! Hopefully,...this debacle won't be repeated on the 18th when we set foot on New Asia again...And this time i'll just stick to beer...yeah right...

United Just walloped Southampton at home,..and i must say it's the best i've seen of them in a long long time. The swagger and the quality of football on display was magnificent and reminiscent of the treble winning era... Giggs,Scholes, Ronaldo, Rooney...fuckin magic! But alas one cannot get carried away, as Chelsea and Arsenal both register convincing wins as well. I guess it's up to next week's crunch tie between these london rivals to ensure United cut the lead between themselves and either,or both of these clubs...i pray they both draw with long term injuries or suspensions to both sets of key players.. (in Chelsea's case...that includes everyone on the bench as well)

Parents going off on a trip to Egypt(yeah...i know the the word in your head at the thought of this rhymes with 'clucking bell'),..and i can't wait to have the house for myself...oh and did i mention my stupid brother will be away to Australia and i'll have his house too(and i have a good excuse being there since i'll have to water his fuckin plants)..Haw Haw Haw..I'm spoilt for choice!

Finally...the Fat lady sings (for me at least)

2004-11-19T15:15:00.000+08:00

YES YES YES!!!(no i'm not climaxing after subjecting myself to severe unadultereated punishment) FINALLY IT ALL COMES TO AN END... Another semester has passed...( spent fruitfully studying hard ofcourse...so much so it feels so routine),the exams are over(distinctions..no sweat) and its the holidays again...though its a much shorter vacation period this time around...but no complains....oh...and as for those of my friends who have yet to complete your exams... tommorow or saturday.....a big 'HAW HAW HAW HAW' to you fuckin schmucks....no hard feelings eh..but good luck for your papers anyway(a sincere gesture as surprising s it may seem); especially to our 'Mighty" lord who still has one last paper left on saturday. And as for Vikram,...who finished his exam a day before me,...FUCK YOU! IT DOESN'T MAKE A GODDAMN DIFFERENCE....YOU TURNIP! oh and.. don't even let me get started on that Sri Lankan fellow who is no longer with us ( do not weep, he lives yet,..he's just not around and won't be for a few weeks). Oh...and Vikram's got an X-box everyone,..(not just any X-box...a crystal X-box that glows in the dark...ok maybe it doesnt glow in the dark..it simply lights up like a rainbow when you stroke it..it's godmade)... that fucking piece of shit....Oh..before i forget, I WANT MY FOOTBALL SHOES YOU UNDERSTAND...haw haw haw! don't sweat Vikram,...you don't have to get me the shoes...you really don't (cough)...friendship(cough) is something i value more than any pair of football shoes..honest...i really do (cough)...i don't believe in making use of my friends for personal benefit(cough)...Anyway the exams are over..and it's time to let loose and party(like we haven't been doing that already)...oh before you guys spiral out of control and turn into complete degenerants on the ' highway to hell', i like to offer a few wise words..in my honest opinon ofcourse....here goes.. I strongly object to wasting money on silly things like football betting, clubbing, watching rubbish movies and especially alcohol...thats no way to burn your pocket money. instead spend some time maybe during these holidays broadening your knowledge and skills maybe,...knitting maybe,perhaps botany, or art...anything that could prove useful in the long term, to fill up that teense weensy void, and make your life feel more complete.Guys ,..keep yourselves in check, suppress that urge to go insanly wild ... and if you find yourself beyond self control at any point of time, simply think of yours truly and my wonderful enlightening blog...it helps...honest!

Sigh...

2004-10-31T02:59:00.000+08:00

What a terrible birthday... the worst in living memory. My most beloved didn't wish me...(sigh..i deserve it i guess...), United lose to Porthsmouth... without hardly mustering a fight...back to their normal form apparently after.... last weekend's dizzying heights. Arsenal draw! Normally that would be regarded as something worth declaring a holiday for...BUT THEY WERE FUCKING SECONDS AWAY FROM DEFEAT! ARRRGHHH...I HATE YOU SAINTS!!! All i can say is...well done Arsenal... though i despiset them as much as i would a child rapist,...their comeback right at the death is championsip stuff ...something United were famous for...alas it seems we have morphed into a 'Liverpool' of the previous decade. Yeah i know,..it's a little too early in the season to harbour such thoughts of doom and gloom,...but it doesn't look good with teams like Chelsea hammering 4 goals past their opponents while we are struggling to score,never mind win against inferior opposition( though Porthsmouth were by far the better team in the game and deservedly won it)..sighh...3 days more to the exams...and i'm feeling miserable as a fuckin snail that took a week to a cross the road, and then got thrown back the otherside....

The Day The Unbeaten Run Ended

2004-10-25T16:15:00.000+08:00

Played again at 'Bowen'. It's actually Mayflower Campus 2...but to everyone of us who's used to playing weekend football there over the last decade or so,..it will always be known as 'Bowen'. The 'Vargese' team couldn't make it today for one reason or another. So it was the Ex Bowen guys(about 6 of them) , Mugilan, Mukuntan(Mugi's brother), Suresh, me and my brother..yes MY BROTHER! It must have been like close to 3 years ago since the last time me and my brother played together...that was like the day before i got hospitalised (a result of some flesh eating bacterial infection straight out of a horror movie)...December 10, 2001 if my memory serves me right. It wasn't quite like the old days...maybe if my cousin Pragash was around(the cunt's in Australia), it would have been more nostalgic. We sorely mised his predatory instincts...and let me be honest..Mugi just can't run anymore. We were getting walloped by the Bowen guys.It was hardly any surprise that when he swapped with Alvin, we played a whole lot better...and we actually won the 2nd game...well don't know exactly when i'll be playing again at 'Bowen' next..cause the exams are coming up and i probabaly wont have any football action for about 3 weeks or so..that's a long time,..but once the exams are over,..we will probbaly have more football..MUCH MORE!

It feels good now,...though i'm not too sure for how long more this temporary state of bliss is gonna last... But i honestly haven't felt this good in ages... Simple reason for that... United won the french fucks(otherwise known as ARSE-nal)! 2-0 baby! take that you french pedophile... fucking take that all you fucking ABUs... take that all you fans of 'Greatest Fucking Team In The World Ever', and take all you fuckin scumbags who ever doubted us!THERE IS ONLY ONE UNITED! Damn it feels good...Ruud could not have picked a better way to score his goal...a penalty!(how about that for poetic justice) Damn it feels good... especially that moment when Rooney slotted in the 2nd in injury time and Old trafford, the theater of fuckin dreams exploded!...It almost gave me an orgasm...fuck... now that's what i call passion! No bunch of french fucks can ever hope to take that away from us( 49 unbeaten games? so fuckin what?!!)...cause there is only ONE MANCHESTER UNITED! Now that's what you call a 'MORALE BOOSTER'...Haw Haw Haw!

Would?

2004-10-22T08:16:00.000+08:00

Know Me Broken By My Master
Teach Thee On Child Of Love Hereafter

Into The Flood Again
Same Old Trip It Was Back Then
So I Made A Big Mistake
Try To See It Once My Way

Drifting Body Its Sole Desertion
Flying Not Yet Quite The Notion

Am I Wrong?
Have I Run Too Far To Get Home?
Am I Gone?
And Left You Here Alone
If I Would Could You?

Rain When I Die

2004-10-21T05:50:00.000+08:00

Is She Ready To Know My Frustration?
What She Slippin' Inside, Slow Castration
I'm A Riddle So Strong, You Can't Break Me
Did She Come Here To Try, Try To Take Me

Did She Call My Name?
I Think It's Gonna Rain
When I Die

Was It Something I Said, Held Against Me?
Ain't No Life On The Run, Slowly Climbing
Caught In Ice So She Stares, Stares At Nothing
I Can Help Her But Won't, Now She Hates Me

She Won't Let Me Hide
She Don't Want Me To Cry

Will She Keep On The Ground, Trying To Ground Me
Slowly Forgive My Lie, Lying To Save Me
Could She Love Me Again, Or Will She Hate Me
Prob'ly Not, I Know Why, Can't Explain Me

Bill Shankly's Best Quote Yet

2004-10-14T17:55:00.000+08:00

When approached to manage Liverpool, he was asked "How would you like to manage the best club in the country?" He replied "Why, has Matt Busby left United?"

Haw Haw.

Superman Is Dead

2004-10-13T06:45:00.000+08:00

Just got the news from my friend Ramesh that Christopher Reeve passed away on Sunday. He survived falling off a horse once..but heart failure got to him eventually. I guess his time was up and it's about time we bid farewell to the greatest Superman of them all...(Superman 4 was seriously fucked though)

2004-10-08T09:50:00.000+08:00

Well,..it's been more than a week since my last entry. I reckon this is the longest break i have taken yet from blogging. I guess it gives me a sense of relief to know that i'm by no means addicted to mindless blogging...Can't say the same for certain individuals who figure their daily trip to the urinal is worth our interest or concern... I guess that just sums up the human capacity for self worship which is ridiculously limitless.

Dhino has had to endure some ego bashing recently on this site. I guess it's about time i gave him some credit for what is due. Last Tuesday, we watched 'The Motorcycle Diaries' on his recommendation,..and for once he was spot on. It's definitely a worthy excuse to burn $6.50. It's movies like this that strengthen my belief that hollywood films are largely mediocre in comparison to independant productions.' The Motorcycle Diaries' is a spanish film that traces the journey undertaken by a young 'Che Guevera' across South America with his trusted friend, Alberto. Exquisite cinematography, visual flair, some great acting,...and the heartwarming bond of friendship shared by the 2 main charcters easily makes this one of the better movies of recent times. Once again Dhino,...i give you credit for this recommendation, though you did declare before the movie that you will not take any responsibility if it turned out to be crap, as it wasn't your idea to watch it(that's what you claimed). Haw Haw!

On Sunday, the 'Old guys' reunited once again to attempt to bring back the good old days at what was formally known as Bowen Secondary(now Mayflower campus 2). The Old Bowen guys turned up as well, and it was almost like the old days when we squared off against one another. Despite the obvious drop in football standards,we still had some rollicking good fun. As i crawled through the hole in the fence and walked towards the basketball court, for the first time in many years, i reminicised of the times past from the golden era, that provided some of the most unforgettable moments and experiences during my teenage years(tresspassing, making holes in fences using a wire cutter, the ' Vargese' team who will always turn up an hour later when everyone else are shagged to the bone and win all the remaining games playing 'league, trying to outsmart the patrolling policemen who never fail to turn up to spoil things for us, the occasional bust ups and fights, sitting at the coffesshop after football just talking cock and making jokes at the expense of the fat ice kachang lady). I would do anything to bring back those wonderful days. Those were times when weekend football at Bowen was what one would look most forward to(if not the only thing to look forward to). The times of the 'Spice Boys', the 'Vargese' team, the chinese 'Bonus team'(they were regarded as such cause they guaranteed easy victory),the Bowen guys in their Juventus jerseys, the 'Mats'(what is weekend football without 'Mats'),..are memories to be treasured. Hopefully,... this minor resurgence of weekend football(Sunday football actually..no one plays on Saturday anymore) will become more frequent and develop into a weekly affair again...But i guess that would be asking for too much! Oh and i forgot to mention that once again...some fuckin idiots in blue had to come and make a nuisance of themselves( Mugilan , if you're reading this,..i have nothing against you being a fuckin policeman..Haw Haw!). I guess some things will never change.

Middlesboro once again proved to be our bogey team,..as they got a deserved draw at Old Trafford. Rooney's lack of fitness was obvious as he struggled to come in terms with the Boro defence which was brilliantly marshalled by Southgate. Only the Portugese Wonderboy shined for United. His heroics though were not sufficient for United to take all 3 points. But no worries,...United will be back on track next week when Alex Ferguson comes up against another manager previously associated with Mancehster United.Expect Birmingaham to be soundly beaten!

The exams are coming,..and .in less than 4 weeks,it will be that time of the year again,...and hopefully, i will do much better this semester. Last semester was an unprecedented disaster!

It was subha's birhday on monday. I think that's worth mentioning as a reminder to anyone who might know her and who had no idea about it.

ROONEY!

Manchester United 6 Fenerbahce 2. The scouse pie eater made a mockery of his doubters(eat your heart out Dhino) with a hattrick at the 'theatre of dreams' that will never be forgotten by the old trafford faithful. While a certain bunch of scouse muppets struggled to overcome a poor Olympiakos side on the other side of the continent, United rolled over their opponents in a manner and swagger reminiscent of the 1999 treble winning side. The fact that much of the first team, Keane, Scholes, Saha and Ronaldo were absent in the United lineup, showed the depth and quality in the squad. It only served to remind certain teams, like "the best team in the world' what's in store when the red devils regain full strength and click into full gear. Henry and Co should be reminded of the 6-1 thrashing just a few seasons ago. A repeat of that thumping isn't a remote possibilty anymore...Haw haw!

Hurt

2004-09-24T15:11:00.000+08:00

I hurt myself today
to see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
the only thing that's real
the needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but I remember everything

what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
you could have it all
my empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of shit
upon my liar's chair
full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
beneath the stains of time
the feeling disappear
you are someone else
I am still right here
what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end

you could have it all
my empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
if I could start again
a million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

Dhino's second coming at the 'Theatre Of Jokes' ,the SRC, was nothing short of breathtaking. With just his first touch of the ball he drew a massive crowd reaction- unstoppable laughter, as he conjured up skills never before seen in any mortal footballing arena. In one swift motion, he had gotten past not 1,.not 2 ,..but 3 players,...all the while being completely unaware of what he was doing,...now that's class. 'Football thursdays' has found a new star...arise Dhino... football's messiah.

Fuck You Dhino

The Clan and i went along with Dhino to watch 'The Great Challenge', a french movie starring the daredevils from 'Yamakasi' and produced by Luc Besson himself. What we ended up watching turned out to be something so completely fucked, it gave 'AVP' a good run for its money for 'worst movie of the year'stakes. Fuck,...we weren't expecting a classy movie with great acting,...but the least it could do was deliver some great action scenes. What we got was a movie that took it self way too seriously providing zero comedy value,(the absence of comedy was mind boggling considering the nature of the film), and tiresome repetitive action scenes that were mind numbingly dull. The Lord even found time for himself to go and get some nachos in the middle of it to fill his empty stomach....Not too long after, Archangel proceeded to do the same thing. To sum it up, 'The Great Challenge' is an utterly shit film that should have gone straight to video, where it ought to be condemned to lie at the bottom of an entire pile of B-grade Seagal and Van Damme movies, so no unfortunate idiot will ever stumble upon it.

Moral of the story - Never ever follow a recommendation made by Dhino

Conclusion - 'The Great Challenge' is hands down the worst French movie i've ever had the misfortune to watch.

Red Devils 2 Bin Dippers 1

2004-09-22T05:15:00.000+08:00

Manchester United outplayed, outfought and swept aside a bunch of scouse cunts(sorry Rooney) with relative ease this morning, as the Bin dippers were taught a lesson in humility. Rio Ferdinand made a glorious return to football, as he marshalled United's dodgy defence with a commanding performance. Partnering Silvestre in the centre, Liverpool's attack was subdued for large periods of the game. This was emphasized by the fact that they did not get their first corner till early in 2nd half. Cisse was doing his best to emulate Inzaghi as he notched up offside after off side,... and was duly substituted late in the 2nd half for Baros. United should have been a few goals up in the first half if not for some great saves by Jerzey Dudek and hard luck.

Ronaldo outclassed the Liverpool defence as they were left floundering at his genius on several occassions. Dudek must have thanked the stars when Ronaldo's drive rebounded off the right post after a mazy run through the middle that cut open the liverpool rear guard like a hot knife through butter. He took turns to torment the Liverpool wing backs Risse and Josemi In the first half, Ronaldo and Wes Brown combined on the right to take the piss out Risse and Kewell( so much for joining a team on the up eh, you Aussie cunt!). The Spanish bull Josemi was made to look like a circus cow as he struggled to contain the portugese wonder boy. That turn right in the center around the 80th minute that left the the spaniard completely baffled,..must have made him wish they had substituted him earlier to prevent the embarrassment.

Liverpool's attack which was as impotent as a castrated dog, could only manage a goal thanks to some genorosity on the part of O'shea( fucking concentrate you irish fuck). it's times like this that scouse faithful must have wished they still had Danny Murphy...Haw Haw! Silvestre celebrated his return to form(which not surprisingly coincided with Ferdinand's return) with 2 goals(both from headers)....bringing back great memories of Pallister at Anfield in 97. The Argentine monster, Heinze playing at leftback tackled viciously at anything that smelled of scouse filth(beware Rooney at training). Luis Garcia, was completely clueless on how to deal with the tough tackling Argentine, as he struggled to get past him even once. On the left,...the lazy Aussie cunt could find no way past Wes Brown who outwitted and outthought him in every duel.

Man U future, Boyan,...Dhino,..if there's one thing you guys need to learn if you haven't yet, is that you write of Manchester United at your own peril, Because the spirit of the Red Devils is immense, as many have discovered to their utter consternation...Haw Haw!

What a night at New Asia. It seemed almost like NTU night,...as almost everyone from or associated with NTU seemed to be there...(ok i admit that's an exaggeration...but there were quite a few regardless) Great music and a good crowd. The Lord was revealed to be a hoax,...to Cheeky atleast as he finally discovered that the Lord didn't exactly burn the dance floor the previous time... Cheeky has the innate ability to realise certain things a bit later than others..especially the obvious... Haw Haw Haw!

Happy Birthday Cheeky

2004-09-18T14:55:00.000+08:00

What an accursed month September is....Shanker, Fido Dido, the Lord and Cheeky all born in the same month. Anyway Cheeky, you have finally turned 23. I wonder what that is in 'dog years'. I am sorry i couldn't get you a bone for your birthday.No hard feelings. And YES,...there is such a word as 'idiocracy', as there is also such a word as 'idiocy'...Haw Haw!

Draw...Defeat...Humiliation...The Demise Of The Clan

2004-09-17T07:10:00.000+08:00

It was inevitable in the end. The year3s decided not to participate,.and the only year 3s participating were members of the Clan (Archangel 'Gronkjaer',The lord, and me). With just 5 players and no substitutes,...we were severely weakened(none of the year 3 stars were available),..and possibly had the worst squad with no depth whatsoever. We didn't think we would go far,..but we hoped for atleast some decent performances. Ultimately,..even that could be described as over ambitous.

It all started well enough against the year 2 team.. A long ball to Cheeky saw him control, the ball,... turn his marker and unleash a ferocious volley that busted the goal net,leaving the much hyped Mogan'Banks' with not much of a chance. But the year 2 team came back strongly,...and deservedly scored the equaliser in the second half. That seem to dampen the spirit of the Clan. We could count ourselves lucky not to have lost that game, as the year 2 team finished strongly. On hindsight, we should have just gone on the defensive in the second half,...and we could have held on for the victory. After that game, we seemed exhausted and low on confidence.

The next match turned into a nightmare. Everything bad that i imagined could happen,..happened. The match was against a formidable year 4 team(except Ramesh who's year2) We were completely outclassed, out fought,..and constantly pressurised throughout the entire match.By the end of the first half we were already 3 goals down. Our already low confidence was dented immeasurably. Ramesh scored 2 of the 3 goals,..while yours truly scored an own goal...sigh...(misery compounded). The second half saw more goal mouth action(our goal that is)..and it took some great saves from Afzal and luck to prevent the year 4s from adding to their tally. Eventually,...another defensive error resulted in the 4th goal. After that,..we no longer defended! We just went up looking for a consolation. But It never came. Poor teamwork, communication and simple lack of ability saw that we hardly troubled their goalkeeper. We got walloped by a much better team,..but the taste of defeat,..and defeat of such magnitude was hard to swallow,..still is.

We weren't sure after that if we were going to play any more games,...as it depended on other results and other considerations...But the rain came and it made sure we didn't have to worry about that either. The tournament is postponed to Sunday,..but i doubt we will turn up... it would just be a waste of time.

Moral of the story- If you can't form a proper team cause of lack of players , don't send a half fuck team and embarrass yourselves.

Watched 'Man On Fire' the other day with the Clan. A decent movie i would say. Certainly not in the same class as 'Bourne Supremacy'. My brother and sis in-law claim otherwise, and i am pretty baffled myself as to why they think 'Man On Fire' is better.( "..much ,much better" said my sis in-law) . The movie has plenty of stylistic touches that might have worked well for a music video, but seems both distracting and annoying when applied over here. The acting is good, and it's probably the only saving grace, lifting this movie slightly above mediocrity. Denzel Washington, probabaly the best black actor in comtemporary cinema, is commanding in his performance and breezes through the role.(what else could you expect from an Oscar winner) He gives the character a kind of substance and range someone like Will smith can only dream of. This movie is certainly way better compared to his previous stinker 'Out Of Time', which was a complete waste of his talent.Thank God for that.

A Sad Day For Dhino

2004-09-13T17:46:00.000+08:00

I was on my comp reading an interesting blog-http://kyeoh928.blogspot.com/ when Dhino came online. He didn't seem to be in the best of moods. He had his TAG-Heur watch stolen. Apparently,..he had it taken off at the men's room at the airport. He left it behind absent mindedly. But it was too late by the time he discovered his folly. It was gone by the time he got back...(now in possession of some thieving cunt) The watch was a gift from his parents, and he's been carrying it since his JC days. Dhino is understandably distraught. Now he has to explain to his parents...(he's expecting the worst reaction from them) Things like that happen to the best of us,..and sometimes even extreme caution isn't sufficient to prevent unfortunate incidents like this. I still remember my stolen wallet and handphone back in December. That was my second stolen handphone in a space of 3 months as well.I was feeling goddamn awful for awhile after that. I hope Dhino recovers from this loss.

Memorial

2004-09-11T16:58:00.000+08:00

It was 3 years ago this day that the tragedy occured. I was driving the bloody Recce ( thanks to some malingering bastards) for 40SAR's final local exercise at Lim Chu Kang that day. Plane hijacked by terrorists crashes a spectacular hole in the WTC building. Years have passed, but the gripping images of the dastardly act by terrorist scum that day is still etched firmly in our minds. Not much has changed since... innocent kids massacred in Russia, sharp edged pins placed strategically to puncture footballs at local void decks( and they wonder why we have a piss poor national team), dogs squatting illegally at hall 5, middle aged lady getting stamped by a monstrous cunt for simply telling him to put off his cigarette(i don't know what's worse,..the incident itself or the fact that it took place at a Linkin Park concert).... It's a cruel and sad world we live in.

NEWS FLASH!

2004-09-10T16:15:00.000+08:00

Archangel'Gronkjaer' is out of action for a possible period of 2 weeks! Sources say the cause could be a possible ligament tear in the right ankle. This could be massive blow to the Clan which is currently only being represented by 3 members on 'Football thursdays'. The Lord himself who heads the clan could not be reached for comment But sources indicate his last words were something along the lines of "...wadever lah". Doomsayers are insinuating a possible bust up within the ranks. 'Dhino weekly' published an article last week, raising a controvesy regarding a power struggle between the Lord and certain members of the Clan. Do keep yourselves updated on possible developments of this story in the near future.

Singapore 0 Oman 2

2004-09-09T16:03:00.000+08:00

What a match! The game hardly got going when Oman hammered in the opening goal in the 3rd minute. A result of some woeful defending. Apparently the English man we had imported is no Tony Adams. I am sure Walter'Sulaiman' would have made a difference to that backline. Or we could import an Italian with an exotic sounding name ending with 'Nesta'. Fucking imports are all fuckin hopeless! Rant over.
The game seemed to be all set for a massive whipping for Singapore. The Lord himself certainly counted on that happening as he had placed bets on Oman, expecting them to breeze to victory by atleast a 3 goal margin. But early signs proved to be a false indicator for what was to come, as Oman struggled to add to the score. Truth be told, Singapore could have easily equalised, if not for some truly "world class" finishing from our strikers. What more could one expect from a strikeforce led by an ex-BPS school team player! Another rant over.
The lord was resigned to losing his bets, as it increasingly became evident that Oman just couldn't finish Singapore off.Then in the 82nd minute, Oman scored again! It was an anxious packed finish to the game as the Lord willed oman on to score that elusive 3rd goal. Oman did seem to have had done enough for a 3rd goal in the dying moments of the game. The striker was clean through from an assist from the right flank. Alas, the linesman, who was obviously some part time relief teacher in some remote village in 'Boyan' land, i suspect, had no fucking clue of the offside rule as he raised his flag. It didn't make much difference though as the striker had put his shot wide anyway. In the end , even the might of the Lord was not sufficient to change the face of destiny as Oman failed to score their 3rd. Despair,..disappointment,...10 dollars down the drain.. Haw Haw Haw!

The Future Is Rossi

2004-09-07T16:10:00.000+08:00

Forget the Portugese wizard,..and i say forget that pie eating scouser...It's a dimunitive 16 yr old italian who promises much for the future. A possible successor to the 'Ginger' prince? Step forward Giuseppe Rossi. Going by the rave reviews this young boy has been getting at United's reserve games recently, it will be no surprise to see this prodigy step into the talented boots of Paul"I don't give a fuck about england" Scholes. Having already scored 4 goals for united,...this skilful italian is a huge prospect. Fuck Arsene Wanker 's French Revolution....Fergie's very own collection of youngters including Howard, McShane, Spector, Bardsley , Pique, Eagles, Ngulula, Martin, Eagles , Blake will lead us once again to the pinnacle of greatness! When the likes of Keane , Giggs, Scholes and gary neville finaly retire,...one can be certain a great group of individuals will be at hand to replace them.
