What do you suck at?

I suck at..

1. Counting dates, for example if today is the 12th and its a Tuesday and you ask me on the 17th what day is it, I can't tell you in like 5 seconds and its highly irritating! Ok I took about 10 odd seconds and the answer is Sunday!

2. Remembering past dates, sometimes you just wish you had Beng's mega memory, I can remember events that happened before but I'm unable to put my finger down on the date that it happened. Terribly sucky memory :(

3. Telling which month has 30 or 31 days. Yesterday I just told my younger sis that July only has 30 days. Haha damned!

4. Running. Even Uncle Nick asked me why I can't get gold, that coming from a CSM, is highly irritating as well.

5. Studying by myself. Without a good teacher/teachers, I really cannot do well, as shown in my below average Uni grades. :(

Oh well, what do you suck at today??

Random rant

After much deliberation, finally bought a Rollerblade Twister II Pro.


Initially I wanted to get the K2 Soul Slide but too bad the 2005 model was sold out and the 2006 model which is exactly the same as the 2005 model, has a significantly higher cost :( Stupid system if you ask me

After graduation, I still haven't found a proper job yet. Its starting to get irritating whenever your parents bug you, don't you just hate it when people nag at you to do something that isn't easy? Its not like I graduated from Accountancy or Engineering where there are tons of available positions.

Maybe its a wrong move to study Physics as a major but too late to regret, currently applying at Investment Office at NUS, we'll see how that goes :/

Support Jkaiser!

jkaiser is shaving his head in support of the Children Cancer Foundation. If there's anything you need to know, just know that it is for a good cause :p

OUCH

Argh @!#*%()( I'm in office and my cheek/gum/mouth is damned painful because the local anaesthetic that Dr Lee applied is wearing off. ARGH!!!!

That's a small price to pay for getting rid of all the stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid decaying stuff. Apparently the doctor spotted an old restoration done by the polyclinic and told Dr Lee to explore that.

Nearly fainted when Dr Lee told me that there was a small civilisation of decaying stuff under the old restoration!!! THE PAIN!!!

I really almost fainted when he used his 'spoon' or excavator or whatever to dig out, and it really was 'highly visible' (read: copious amounts).

Jeez, /me shudders at the thought of lying there, shivering and quivering uncontrollably. Must pwn doctor Lee in dota revenge.. haha

Just j/k he did a great job, except the restoration possibly too thick so will have to go back another time to fine tune it.

Thanks to Dr Lee and his assistant the snoozing (hah, caught her multiple times) Tien2.

Dream dog!

Finally know what kind of breed is my dream dog, its called rough collie, not Shetland sheepdog although the 2 look highly similar.

World Cup 2006

So sad, this WC I didn't manage to catch many matches, basically I only watched the opening ceremony, the first match (Germany vs Costa Rica) and another match which was Portugal vs somebody. Or was it England vs Paraguay? Shit, my memory is failing me :(

Some thoughts, felt that Zidane did quite well in the final match except for the headbutt combo on Materazzi. Pirlo really got Italy going and his crosses were really of high quality. Totti was rightfully replaced as he was really quiet and perhaps it would have been better to let Pirlo take the reins instead of 2 people trying to playmake.

Congratulations to the Azzurri and to Cannavaro for simply being able to fend off Henry. Henry can seek solace that even if he can get past the world's best defender, still got 1 more world's greatest goalkeeper lah. At least, one of the best. So take heart :p

Oh yeah I also managed to catch the highly exciting Argentina vs Germany match where Argentina was ousted out of the competition. The exciting combination of Riquelme and Tevez together with the ever dangerous durian picker Crespo really charmed me! They were my favourites but the coach made some mistakes with the substitutions and it all went wrong when Riquelme was substituted. Damned..

And they were defensively sound too! With players like Gabriel Heinze, it really was a great squad. Their playing style was the most attractive I've ever seen, cool and composed, think Riquelme fending off 3 defenders, Tevez shielding the ball and then with a twist, nutmeg one defender and with another shimmy + burst of speed.. off he goes!

I was aghast at some of the newspaper articles that commented on Italy's performance though. Italy's gameplay was more of a patient one, waiting for opportunities and shutting up France's fluidity by numbers. I didn't see that they were hungry for success or whatever.

Until now they still don't know that the Italians are the masters of protecting their advantage? Time wasting, time delaying, great theatrics etc..

Jkaiser's highly apt description of the Italian game

Listen to Instructions!

Sometimes, when people say A, you better don't do B.

Doh! If not people have to end up undoing all the extra trouble that you bring to other people.

Be considerate!
