All Day I Dream About Soccer

i noe i haven post for very long ard ppl, sorry.

heard abt the ppl leaving rv from everyone i chatted wif on msn. i dunno if i started a trend for leaving rv or wad, but to everyone hu r gonna leave..the feeling is sore, bad, everything negative. still rmb the day tt i was gone, din really feel much sadness as i was so lookin forward to coming back and seeing all of u again. guess now i may not be able to see ALL of u when im back...

but as the days wore on, my heart was cryin all the tears added from everyone hu cried. i was very sad and although i din cry i kept lookin at all the gifts u all gave me, all the letters, the photo from sentosa...

i would say tt those hu r leaving rv r still lucky, coz u can still meet up every now and then. vietnam is similar to sgp, but wifout all my frens its not the same. yes, i made new frens, but the frenship is jus not strong enuf.
pls realise and cherish ur frenship for the next few months...

and although i regretted coming here, leavin all my frens behind, understand tt staying in sgp wifout my family wld be much harder for me to take...

Liverpool 2:1 West Ham United. Not bad. Daniel Agger pro. shoot from so far. and up in the top corner. keeper didn't even move. Wads better is that chelsea lost to middlesbrough, and arsenal lose to man city. gd. very gd.

First week of schu, wad can i say? it was like a dream schu, air-con in every room. D&T room got air-con, the indoor basketball court also got air-con, even canteen also got air-con. oso got indoor swimming pool and lifts in the schu. wad more can u ask for?

But i say it sucks. wads the use of the lifts when the schu, the second home to the students, dun allow students to use it? wads sports when u dun sweat? y do we pay a few thousand a year to get a field tt is 3 times smaller than the one i have in rv? so wad if the field is made of carpet grass, the one used in golf courses?

it's not the same, it's jus not the same.

i rmb the first day, when i was all scared and nervous. it was so difficult to make frens, as there is no fixed class unlike in singapore. actually there is, but unless u pick the same subjects, u dun see them. so whenever i have to go to the next subject, i have to go to the room where the teacher is. and the fren whom u made in the class b4 disappears for hrs b4 u see him again after schu. or maybe not.

but the nxt few days i realised that instead, i cld make more frens. hopefully i do when the days go by, because the number of frens i have now can be counted by the number of fingers on one hand. perhaps the reason y i dun have many frens is that i come from a country where the first language is english. the koreans go with koreans because dey speak korean, and the vietnamese go with vietnamese because dey speak vietnamese. OR maybe im juz anti-social.
i have a fren hu's from taiwan; he speaks chinese and so do i. and juz because of tt we r frens. but he has his own frens from taiwan, so...

on thursday we had a new guy in our class. and he's from singapore!!! u cannot understand how happy i was. finally someone u has the same background as me. he's from queensway sec and he's sec 3. oh, and im also one of the youngest in class. most are ard 15, and im 14. we had pe on thursday, in the indoor basketball court. the teacher split us into grps, and because one side can only field 5 ppl, the rest become subs. and im one of them. but i played 1 game, WIFOUT EVEN TOUCHING THE DAMN BALL ONCE! never mind. i'll kick their butts when it comes to soccer. but im not surprised if dey kick mine too.

den during biz studies a girl thought i was a vietnamese and spoke some crap to me. i went huh? thrice b4 she realised tt i wasn't a vietnamese. and i went huh? thrice b4 i realised she was speaking vietnamese. haha. not funny.

i also realised tt no one brings waterbottles. dey drink from the water coolers. did i waste my money on the new waterbottle tt i just bought? the exact same one some more. and my fren didn't noe how to drink from it, and when i pressed it the water came out. he was shocked.

i oso scared tt i change my accent. everyone speaks wif the british accent...even the vietnamese, koreans. even my sis oso speak lyk tt. although dey speak gd english (not my sis), im still a singaporean. and wad's a singaporean wifout the usual lahs, lehs...

latest is cny 2007. i dun think i can wait tt long though.

LIVERPOOL 2:1 CHELSEA !!!! Feeling so high and excited now...couldn't sleep last night! Wanted to tell Nicholas abt it immediately and i noe he wanted to do the same...shut ur trap Jose Mourinho, admit tt Chelsea lost. Riise and Crouch were way better than Ballack and Shevchenko and they cost much less. say wad community shield not important, chelsea were tired and couldnt perform well...all crap! Liverpool will win the title this year...they rox!!!

Went to cu chi tunnel yesterday...a place where the vietnamese and the americans fought during the vietnam war. the vietnamese dug a tunnel underground during the war to attack the americans, tt's wad i learnt from the boring black and white tape over there.

took abt 1 1/2 h drive to reach there...and the tour guide said he actually fought in the war...cool! first time talking to a war survivor...and he said he was shot in the knee but it recovered, so couldnt see the hole. dun noe true not...

then i saw bomb craters as big as swimming pools...i meant the baby pool. saw tanks, traps and guns. M-16, AK-47, carbin...there was a shooting range over there too. we had to buy the bullets to shoot...but i didnt try bcause it was SO LOUD! then when we were abt to leave i saw tt they had earmuffs on! stupid...but never mind...next time army also got the same training.

Then i crawled inside the tunnel...it was so low and so dark inside...cant see a thing. then i came out after 30 min, panting like mad. wonder how the vietnamese cld crawl inside for a few km...

we went back after tt and i went to eat kfc...it wasnt tt good. then i went home and waited for the liv che match to start...

Wooo...Liverpool won Maccabi Haifa 2-1, not exactly a great result, but at least they still won. Hopefully they can win by a bigger margin in the next leg. Luv Mark Gonzalez, scoring on his European debut...he rocks!!

Went on a tour arnd the city today, saw the central post office, the 200yr old cathedral, different markets, war museums, hospital (hopefully i wun end up there), handicrafts shop and silk embroidery shop.

then along the way i saw 2 ppl playing chinese chess over there, and i suddenly realised tt i have or suppose to have cca today. wa lau...wanna play chinese chess also no chance. soccer also cannot play...i may end up making cleaning the toilet my hobby if i keep on staying at home with nothing to do.

then the stupid taxi driver kept going by the small lanes to reach our destination...when he cld have used the main roads. if only i knew some vietnamese swear words...he'd pee in his pants.

Liverpool versus Chelsea on sunday...cannot miss it. Have to watch chelsea get thrashed...

Blackout last night, juz as i was abt to sleep. Suddenly a sense of darkness loomed over me; i dun no wad to do.

I looked everywhere, trying to see a light...but darkness was everywhere. I was afraid...afraid i couldn't see my loved ones anymore (technically i really couldn't see). Thought of everyone...family, friends, 2D. Still missing them so much...

Suddenly, the light was back on. I opened my door and i saw my parents, sister. But still no 2D. No, no, no...this can't happen. i'm having a mental breakdown...must be strong. Must be strong so that i can see them once more...

Same thing again today: wake up, brush teeth, bath, housekeeping comes, cleans up the house, blah, blah, blah...It's always so boring...can't wait for school to start. At least my father got the router ready...so now can go online more often. If not have to fight with my sis...she hogs on to the computer the whole day.......

Went to Diamond Plaza yesterday...a speck of excitement in my otherwise boring life here in Vietnam. The only cinema is here...the only one which shows english speaking movies. Only got 3 movies...Final Destination 3 (how long was this?), X-men 3, Pirates of the Carribean. WTH. At least the shopping centre is not that bad...the best one I saw since coming here. More branded stuff. Saw the only KFC since i was here...also got arcade, bowling alley, and billiard and pool tables. Not bad.

Went to shop for a new waterbottle...gave mine to judith. Saw some with the same design...but not the colour i want. Still liked the old one...will be claiming it back in 2yrs time.

Settling down in Vietnam now...getting used to all the horning from the motorbikes, the sudden change in weather, and the crazy driving of the taxi drivers. At least things are much cheaper here..taxi only S$1.50.

Feeling the aftereffects of the sunburn from sentosa now, skin flaking off...

WTF...Liverpool lost 5-0 to FSV Mainz...never even heard of that club before!! How did Liverpool lose until like that...they bought so many players and...damn! Really want Liverpool to win the league title this season...and hopefully they still can. Trying to control my emotions...
