itz rilli bad in e morning..esp when e sky's stil dark...while e other levels are functioning as usual..e 3rd remains eerily quiet wif none of e rms lit..save 4 1 claz @ e corner on e other side of e blk...twas' as if e entire cohort disappeared in2 thin air..leaving smth dey occupied once behind...bt nt 2 worry..as 2dae sees e laz of such an uncomfortable scenario...charred pieces of human flesh wld soon return tmr 2 haunt tt storey..i wonder if an ice-cream wld brg dem bac 2 life...

e xcitement has pretty much died down...procrastination may b pt n parcel of life..bt by doing so r we being fair 2 ourselves..?4 days hav passed n time is running out..yet nuttin has been decided upon..r we able 2 bear e consequences if disaster befalls..?we're juz short of 1 more step..complete dis n we'll walk out in a blaze of glory...y nt do it once n make it gd?

man utd has nt been doing v well recently...losing 2-3 2 middlesbrough..drawing 1-1 wif leeds..n now trailing 7 pts behind arsenal...nistelrooy admitted e team misses becks..as both a player n person...real coach queiroz hu was fergie's assistant laz season howeva is stil confident tt utd wil win e premiership title n overcome deir defensive problems...wif e likes of o'shea..brown..neville n silvestre..wil dey remain a strong side or 1 tt sorely misses beck's crossing n all round play..?

mtv asia awards 2004 totally rocks!though it includes standing in queue for 2hours and sandwiched in the crowd for the next 3hours.not to mention my view being blocked by this disgustingly blob of flesh which causes exothermic reaction.the decision of hitting it with one of the balloon sticks prolly was a little rash.but then again,it failed 2to shift this piece of jelly.so who cares.the show was absolutely fantastic.emcees vanness wu and michelle branch got everyone in the standing sector on their feet.not excluding that eyesore not too far away from me wobbling away happily.damned.

MAA 04 featured a glittering list of stars including 5566,black eyed peas,blue,gareth gates.,liberty x,simple plan,sugababes,stacie orrico,boa,too phat,tanya chua,stefanie sun,a*mei,machi,tata young,T.A.T.U. and michelle yeoh.not to mention a surprise guests apearance of mariah carey.te show opened with a stunning burlesque dance performance by pussy cat dolls who dazzled with their colorful costumes and antics on stage.korean pop diva boa put together an outstanding performance with her rendition of "rock with you",charging the atmosphere to euphoric heights.simple plan also wowed the audience with their energetic performance of medley "perfect" and "addicted" while sugababes enthralled the crowd with "too lost in you".underscoring the theme of love were special duet performances by several artists including gareth gates and siti nurhaliza crooning to "say it isn't so".the show was brought to an all time high with a finale performance by black eyed peas of "shut up" and "where is the love".showers of confetti and balloons were dropped from the ceiling,sealing the celebratory mood and bringing the successful show to an end.

Favourite Breakthrough Artist - t.A.T.u

The Asian Film Award - Michelle Yeoh
The Inspiration Award - Anita Mui

forgot to mention suzanne walker did a mock pornstar act on the red carpet when she flaunted the lower half of her orbs.daring.but would have been absolutely disgusted if i were there.not as if she has such a great bod.walker wasnt the only one to steal the thunder as both michelle branch and fergie of black eyed peas showed aplenty of skin.was also wondering how gareth gates beat grammy winners to be the favorite male.the sound system was a letdown.there were segments where the mike went mute.like when denise keller and cyrus were on stage.but that doesnt stop maa04 from being a blast.



vday this year wasnt too bad.in fact not bad at all.perhaps one of the happiest vday i've ever had in my 14+ yrs on earth.and i guess it most probably wont happen again.

i looked out of the window and stared into the depths of the vast nightsky.the puffy white clouds,the twinkling stars shining down,the moon hanging precariously low.and for a moment i felt the peace i've yet to experience in weeks.nearly convincing myself that its a peek of heaven.a gust of wind swept me back to reality.where things are far from rosy.where things are in fact slowly falling apart,disintegrating bit by bit.and maybe not far from now,all thats left will collapse too.

i've never seen the classrom block like this.the entire place seemed a ghastly shade of grey.it turned silent momentarily.a little too quiet for its own good.the pupils shuffled slowly back to their classes,engrossed in their own thoughts,wrapped up in their own world.it played on like a soundless black and white film.only that it will never show the words 'the end' when the credits roll.the news came hard though no personal relations were involved.it dawned on me suddenly that life is full of unexpected twists and we should just learn to cherish the present a little bit more,appreciate even the smallest of things and find joy in doing the simplest tasks.for theres only a fine line between life and death.

freedom of speech.freedom of expression.individuality.i believe in that.yes.i do.not blindly though.as the consequences are as clear to me as ever.not bound by the rules and regulations imposed..freedom.

doing what is deem fit by oneself,not restrained by the various standards people set for you.even if it means going against the so called rules.shouldnt we be unique individuals?if so,why shoud we abide by ridiculous rules set to control what we wear,how we dress,how we behave,and even down to the color of our hair accessories?isnt creativity so rampantly promoted by the government?but how is it that we are able to do so when we are suppose to speak and criticize freely but with limitations.think out of the box but in the box.?is that possible?i dont think so.

i do not deny i break rules.what sorta rules,thats totally up to your imagination.to be an individual,i can accept being looked upon as the black sheep,to be ostracized,and even losing respect.but can you?

i've never enjoyed begging and asking favors from anyone and if you know me well enough,i do not find myself extra work or into any unnecessary trouble.and thats to include doing it in the name of charity.so when i was dragged out of bed as early as 0555h yesterday morning and made to go asking for donations like a beggar,waiting for people to fish out their wallets and preying on unsuspecting customers at the ntuc cashiers,i decided to wipe that spastic smile off my face.theres a purpose in doing everythg.but sadly,i cant find one in this.and thats just too bad.

theres less than a month left now.and ironically,what used to spur me on is now just a little less than a burden.the motivation and spirit that once were now ceased to exist.whats gonna happen on that day,i wonder.i tried seeing it through my dreams,but then i've come to realize that ignorance is bliss.

saha is the latest man utd signing brought at £12 to partner nistelrooy and take some pressure off him.they are both natural goalscorers but saha can adapt to different attacking roles.he can play up front on his own,as part of a pair,or even out wide.so i think he'll be a really versatile asset for the manager ferguson's distressing week,with arguments between him and man utd major shareholder magnier which i didnt bother to follow.ended with a familiar rollercoaster ride to a 3-2 victory as man utd clambered back to the premiership summit.goals from saha,scholes and nistelrooy proved enough to overcome a southampton side which contributed fully to a pulsating encounter and would rightly claim to be unfortunate not to have grabbed a point.
