So its the last day of 2008, the most important year of my life so far. It was my Sec 4 year, it was when I took that all-important 'O' Levels, but I'm glad, I shared this year with so many great people. There might have been many ups and downs throughout this year, and the whole 4 years in Catholic High, that unfortunately came to an end at October.
We started 2008 as 2007 finished, continuing our toiling away, thinking of only one thing, the 'O' Levels. My class were to be 4-4, the class of 2008. We had a few changes in teachers, and also had the previous ones from Sec 3. The most noticeable was our Sec 3 Chinese teacher leaving the school, and that we had our Chinese lessons this year with numerous changes in teachers, and ultimately May came, and we sat for our Chinese 'O's.
I, for one, did not do as well, only getting a B3.. well, it was rather expected, though. But I continued going while giving up Chinese for good. Well, this aren't the important bits this 2008, it was the smaller tiny little moments that were really nice and that I will always remember.
I particularly enjoy the numerous football we played, and I'm sure many would have enjoyed it also. Whether after school, after remedials, before extra lessons, after CCA meetings, it was always fun. Our home ground we called "Stamford Bridge", well, it was the Primary School assembly area, was a really nice place to play at, even though the ground was kinda uneven.
When we played as a class, we had some good games against my own CCA select, and we also did have some beating from other classes. But overall, it was a very good experience playing with you all. And I'll apologise if I went overboard with my ranting and shouting at some of ya, or was overzealous, and got too carried away in the game.
The Regulars: Jeffrey, Kelvin, Shanwei, Seiyee, Samuel, Sebastian, Aaron, Gideon. The Occasionals: Jie Chou, Perry.
And of course, the ones from iMedia as well.
Ervin, Michael A., Joshua, Xi Jie, Shawn Teo, Kenneth, Donovan, Hua Peng, Jit Hin and some of the juniors.
Some notable opponents...
Goalkeeping duo Gregory and Dannel. Those from class 4-2.
The many times we studied together was great as well. From the study area, classroom to even the canteen, I'm sure we all benefitted from studying with each other. If not, it'd be a little too boring right? The daily routine of having to wait in long queues during recess just to buy our food. That sucks, but it was a good time to chat luh and talk cock.
Getting ourselves into and running away from trouble. Defying the teachers. Coming back late for our lessons, standing outside, for Maths and English class. Those times sucked, but it was a little fun.
Bishan Market must also be like our second eating place. Bubble tea, hawker way.. it was another great place and time to talk and eat, something I believe we'll all miss now that we don't have much of a chance to go back there.
Hanging around, almost daily, at the General Office during morning assembly! Haha, we really drove Mr Teng nuts, I think. And our endless complaints at everything...
Our last minute mugging for each subject a day before that respective subject's exam... It was kinda funny the way we chionged at the eleventh hour and how much we slacked weeks before, thinking about how much time we had. Luckily for us, we learnt our lesson in time for the 'O's, and studied hard a few months before the actual 'O's.
The last few weeks of having to stay in the hall to do work, check prelim scripts, was so sian, I believe everyone shared that view as well. Having to come to school at 7am almost everyday for English a month before the 'O's was real shitty, but I hope it at least benefitted us.
There are still many other moments that I can't remember at this time, but it will definitely not be forgotten...
And how could I forget, those that has helped me make this 2008 a real fun, entertaining and meaningful year...
Shanwei - "Bung" must be the word of your year. And you really have helped us in general with your jokes and laughter.
Aaron - I do not regret having to sit with you for almost two years. Although sometimes you are a little ass, I think you are a very nice person to have as a friend, and a seat partner... =)
Perry - Even though we had much indifferences in Sec 1 and 2, I'm glad we're much better friends now.
Seiyee - Forgive me if I'm a little ass at times, but I am grateful to have you as a friend, and your tolerance with me is impeccable.
Manfred - Haha, even though I've talked to you more around the second half of the year, thanks for the listening ear, it was helpful.
2008 may be ending in less than 10 hours time, but it has been a magnificent year for me, and I hope for you guys as well. 'O's results are coming out in around 2-3 weeks... So good luck! And I really hope that we do not lose contact of each other. You've all just been so great.
My song of the 2008? Hmm... Paramore's That's What You Get, I guess...
Bye~!

Oh, what an afternoon out in the city.
Ok, so firstly, I am going to tell a story. It's all of what I observed and heard. It's not a reflection of my opinion, whatsoever.. yet.
So yeah, last night, E, S and me I decided to play football in school today in the morning, and planned out to meet M at the place he worked for lunch during his lunch hour. Hence, today, E, S and myself went to school, played our football, slacked in the studio, got changed, and headed to Suntec City, albeit a little bit, ok.. very late. We then met M near Suntec City and chionged to Burger King for our lunch.
We then got our food, sat down, and M starts his talking cock again. Haha, so yeah, suddenly he receives a call, and we all thought it was his boss - like 'cos he was kinda overtiming his lunch hour. However, it was J! He was walking at Citylink towards where we were, Burger King!
Citylink to Suntec's BK is kinda far, I tell ya. So anyway we thought J would be there in a while's time, enough time for us to eat and go. Well, not exactly, no. E, S and M's face changed in an instance and followed by J and C entering Burger King, saying "hi"s to us. Well, not really, no. J went to M and whispered something, right in front of us. C continued by giving M a few couple slaps, which was quite embarrassing for M.. seriously it was. J and C went to sit right beside us and talked, while we continued our meal.
Then the four of us went off, and we went to the office M was working in, with M asking to go out again from his boss, and then we went off again back to Burger King. M went to talk to J and C, who were still waiting at Burger King, whilst myself, E and S waited at one really "discreet" corner. Haha, then after a while, M came out and he told us about what they said just now, which was really wrong, I guess. Then soon after M went back to work and E, S and myself went off.
Stuff that J said to M, that M told us was real wrong in my opinion. Just to give one quote J, from the iMedia club, WHISPERED to M RIGHT IN FRONT OF US:
"thanks for bringing your iMedia friends along"
You go figure.
Now, for my opinion about this whole thing? My opinion of J?
One word.
Bitch.

The pitch was better than expected, much better than any I've seen. The average was pretty good, especially in the second half. The opponents were quite decent, our team was good. The amount of time I was given was almost perfect.
YET.
I had no stamina, whatsoever.

Saturday, December 27, 2008
So yeah... Firstly, got my hair cut. I know I'm gonna get a lot of heat for this... Yeah, and yesterday's pool + dinner with lum and sw was quite nice. Pool at PUB was pretty fun, I tell 'ya. Even though it was my first time, lum kept making me feel I was so great at it already. Haha... But yeah, I thought it would be very difficult to play, but I felt I kinda gotten a hang of it. But I ain't super good at luh, duuuh.
Then we went to some Toa Payoh hawker centre to have our dinner, and talk lots of cock... Quite funny stories from lum, as usual, and had a pretty good time there. We then got on 88 and headed back to the bus stop opposite J8, near sw's place... And guessed who we saw! Well it was a classic case of "speaking of the devil". Haha. Luckily sw had pretty "hawkeye", sharp eyes and quickly diverted to another path that eventually led us back onto the original walkway... Then I walked off back home while they went to visit Cath High, at around 10.30pm? Lol... Great time, yesterday night.
So then watched Liverpool race back to the top with a 3-0 win over Bolton at Anfield, finally! The Reds' really played very well at the start, moving the ball really really swiftly across the park, spreading the play as much as they could, utilizing Albert Riera well. I would DIE for half the passing talent of Stevie G or Xabi Alonso... Argh! Their passing yesterday was impeccable. Good take by Riera on the first goal, his second of his Reds' career, and the night belonged to Robbie Keane.. with two well-taken goals that brings his tally up to 7 for the season. C'mon Keane!!! Riera, Gerrard and Dirk Kuyt finally gotten rests with young trio Nabil El Zhar, David N'Gog and Lucas coming on, in anticipation of TOMORROW's game at St James' park. Hectic schedule, eh.
Javier Mascherano will come back to the squad, as reported confirmed, with Stevie G back up top behind probably the on-form Keane.. with Fernando Torres on the bench. Yossi Benayoun will probably make way with Kuyt slotting back to the right wing and maybe Ryan Babel will feature ahead of Albert Riera... The back five will stay the same with Alvaro Arbeloa still out injured.
Hmm tomorrow got some 'official' football field match at PUBRC... Don't know if got stamina, but who knows? Just gonna try to have a run-out.
Seeya!

MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!!!

Hmm... Christmas is just around a day away, and that means New Year's Day and 2009 is also nearing.. but that means something else! It's the opening of January Transfer Window! So as expected, some top clubs have already made their mark with new signings, a la Real Madrid, whilst others are desperately needing new faces to boost and brighten up their squad, and results.
There are two clubs that have already secured signings.
Ok, basically, Manchester City needs to buy everyone that has a reputation, Tottenham need a more reliable 'keeper, and West Brom and Blackburn need to bolster their squads to stave off relegation.
So Boxing Day is near as well, just a day after Christmas day, and there are Premier League matches on! Liverpool host Bolton, now they really do need a win at home soon, and then travel to Newcastle to face Joe Kinnear's side at St James' Park. We really need 6 out of 6 unfortunately... iF not, iT's downhill from then on, especially with United back from Japan.
Oh yeah, and why has it been that I've been receiving so many magazines, newsletters and parent forum invites from quite a number of really reputable Polytechnics. Hmm, I'm just wondering.. why none from any JCs? Haha!

Argh. Another missed opportunity to gain 3 points of another 'Big Four'. Well, you can look at it another way and think, it's a good point gained against a side that performs very well against the 'Big Four'.
Zz... If only Stevie G's slide had connected well enough on Dirk Kuyt's cross, almost near half-time, when Liverpool were on the ascendancy, and made it 2-1... Wow... Something to hold on to.
Congrats to Robbie Keane! Another good performance, hopes he keeps it up. Emiliano Insua looks better than Andrea Dossena with every game he plays. Lucas did okay, better than previous games.
Ryan Babel sucks, how can he call for a place when he can't even come off the bench to play well. WHY MUST DAVID N'GOG COME ON? He doesn't even know how to play as a target man.
Basically, as a target man, when the ball's launched upfield towards you, you have to jump and challenge for the ball, hoping to flick it on for a colleague near you.
Well, N'Gog doesn't jump! He gets jumped on to!
Bye... fukin job.

Wah! I really got my prediction correct!! Liverpool really gonna play Real Madrid... Well, at least the second leg is at Anfield. Woots~ It's gonna be a great match, man... Hopefully Rafa can triumph over Juande Ramos once again! Haha... I'm sure it's gonna be another chess match for Rafa, and he doesn't really lose chess matches...
Man Utd and Sir Alex Ferguson meet Jose Mourinho again, this time with his Inter Milan side. Chelsea have a reunion with Claudio Ranieri when the latter's Juventus visits Stamford Bridge during the first leg. Arsenal will meet Luciano Spaletti's Roma. So other than Liverpool, the 'Big Four' are getting Italian opposition..
Other Match-Ups:
Villarreal (SPA) v Panathinaikos (GRK) Sporting Lisbon (POR) v Bayern Munich (GER) Atletico Madrid (SPA) v FC Porto (POR) Lyon (FRE) v Barcelona (SPA)
Villarreal should go through, but Panathinaikos have every chance if they play well. Bayern should come out of the Sporting tie with advancement into the next round. The Atletico and Porto match is hard to call, but Atletico, with Sergio Aguero, should nick that one. The 'Best of the Rest' of Lyon vs Barcelona is so, so tight, that only an on-form Barca will confirm go through, if not, Barca are still favourites.
Can't wait till Feb!
Seeyer~!

I was real glad I went back for the iMedia chalet after my futsal game. Well talkin about the futsal game, played ok lah... Mostly right-back and goalkeeper... Had a few lapse of concentration, not least helped by my kinda empty stomach. Much better when I was playing goalie, so yeah, overall good workout luh.
So went back to Aloha Loyang at 11+. Before that erv, mc, linde, and I went to cycle for an hour. $5. Not bad seh, managed to tail someo get some scenery of the beach. Then tried to play football twice, to no avail. But after I got back, there was this 5v5 anywhere-play game, so played as goalie and outfielder for awhile. Wah those Bs quite hard-hitters arrh, scary sia'l.
So ate the BBQ and had lum give us his story-telling... Quite funny arr. Then as majority of went to try to go out to buy some ''embeverages' for themselves, stayed and watched jh and WWE-ing... Damn funny I must say. Relaxed awhile in the room withmc... Before the rest got back and then started playing Murderer and Werewolf. Real fun game I didn't really expect to enjoy, guess it was all our shouting. Haha.. We got so carried away we played from around 3+ to 6+, and we didn't even know it. After that, slept like less than an hour before climbing out of the room window and zhaoing to eat Macs breakfast at around 8. Then, go home on MRT, when I was almost half-dead.
Haha! The Man Utd-Gamba Osaka match was such a feast! 8 goals! 5-3, Man Utd triumphed, but Gamba have done Asia proud with a solid performance all-round, only let down by some poor defending... What entertainment.
Hmm, Real Madrid made their second signing already? In the form of Lassana Diarra of Portsmouth for around £20million? Wow, Huntelaar already, now Diarra. Well they do have so many out-until-end-of-season injuries..
CHAMPIONS LEAGUE KNOCK-OUT LAST 16 DRAW IS TOMORROW! Lol... Liverpool can meet Portuguese champions Sporting Lisbon, Spanish champions Real Madrid, French champions Lyon, Italian champions Inter Milan, and Spanish side Villarreal. Hmm... Anyone also can one, luh!
Wah, this Sunday. Got 3 big match arr. Singapore vs Vietnam. Who wanna watch?! Arsenal vs Liverpool. Oh yeah. Man Utd in their FIFA Club World Cup final. Wah... Nice...

This few days have been sooo cold... Windy like constantly... And yeah, erm... I haven't seen the sun for a couple of days. Not that I'm dreading not seeing it, but it's like it's sooo glooomyy...
El Zhar, Ryan Babel, Yossi Benayoun... Argh, bunch of disappointing wingers yesterday.
Andrea Dossena. Shit.
Another SHIT home draw, Liverpool's third consecutive... How much worse can it get? Can they only win away? Now Chelsea can overtake them with a one point lead...
Only Steven Gerrard gets some plaudits for his two goals yesterday... I was so hoping for another 3-2 comeback win that everyone would be talking about!!! And what's with spending £20 million on a striker in his prime and not even use him from the bench? Especially when a goal was needed so badly?
Seriously, if the Reds get another home draw, anymore slip-ups, especially with Arsenal next weekend, it's just going to be another fight for not the title, but for a Champions League spot. 4th, more accurately.
Well had a nice BBQ-gaming time yesterday with erv, lum, sw, sy, perry, melv... And also watching Arsenal held to a Boro draw.. Haha...

So I just got back from my very, very short trip from Bintan. It was pretty nice and relaxing. Photos on Facebook! Haha lazy to post here, doubt anyone would wanna see it anyway. Haha...
I watched Liverpool win 3-1 at Eindhoven in Bintan the other day. I was really glad to see the three local products of Jay Spearing, Martin Kelly and Stephen Darby get some game time and their debuts in the UCL! Haha... Lucas and Keane impressed, finally. And timely rests and subsituted rests were given to Stevie G, Xabi Alonso, Jose Reina, Dirk Kuyt and Jamie Carragher, Alvaro Arbeloa respectively. So next its against Hull at Anfield, where goals have been a problem for the last two games! It's good to hear Phil Brown coming out to say Hull's going to attack, giving Liverpool more space, and hopefully the Reds' do defend well.
So the UEFA Team of the Year 2008 is going to be nominated soon, and here's my first eleven 'n coach votes.I just didn't know why Stevie G was in the Right Midfield section, as C Ronaldo's there as well, how could I not put him in? It'd be too obvious that I'm bias, right? Haha...
Iker Casillas (Real Madrid, Spain): Euro 2008. That's why he's there... He has been letting in goals for fun currently with Real, but it's not his fault. It's the leaky Real defence. He has single-handedly stopped much more goals from going in. He is currently one of the best, if not the best.
Maicon (Internazionale, Brazil): He is one of the better right-backs now. He has been rather consistent for a couple of years already for both club and country.
Jamie Carragher (Liverpool, England): Need I say anymore? Solid at the back, commands the defence well, and has a good reading of the game as well as great recovery ability.
Nemanja Vidic (Man Utd, Serbia): His height will suit Carragher's ground ability. He is a menace in set-pieces for United and is also a great foil for defensive partner Rio Ferdinand. Great header of the ball, and no nonsence, everything you'd ask of a defender.
Philipp Lahm (Bayern, Germany): Can use both feet very competently, and starred as Germany got second at Euro 2008. One of the better performancer for Bayern when they were struggling at the start of the season.
Cristiano Ronaldo (Man Utd, Portugal): So many goals last season. And now, even without a pre-season, is up and running again with United. Unbelievable.
Xavi Hernandez (Barcelona, Spain): One of the best all-round midfielder. With an eye for a pass and good defensive work when needed, Xavi has been the unsung hero in the magnificent Barcelona team this season. And the Euro 2008 MVP played a huge part with many assists in that competition to help Spain triumph.
Andriy Arshavin (Zenit, Russia): A playmaker with good dribbling ability and creativity, his performances in Euro 2008 certainly caught the eye of many. Along with the UEFA Cup and UEFA Super Cup triumph, he will star in a top European side very soon.
Franck Ribery (Bayern, France): Bayern's best player so far, gets to the byline as often as he cuts inwards, he can play any offensive positions he is asked to fill. Very talented individual with good ability with both feet as well.
Lionel Messi (Barcelona, Argentina): His form has sky-rocketed since last season, with his goals, assists and top class performances the main reason why Barcelona is so dominant in Europe and in the La Liga currently. The best and most form player right now.
Fernando Torres (Liverpool, Spain): Magnificent form last season with many vital goals for Liverpool, and however still struggling with injury this season.
Coach: Sir Alex Ferguson (Man Utd, Scotland) - Champions League and Barclays Premier League medals. Need anymore?
Kk... Go Reds~! Haha..
Seeya~!

Woohoo, finally... I got it. No not it, it.
And Liverpool finally won after TWO frickin' goalless draws at home, but they had much luck I must say, well.. so did Man Utd! Argh...
About time, Yossi Benayoun scored, but he still had a shit game. Dirk Kuyt needs a partner if he is to play upfront. Xabi Alonso had a decent game, nice goal I must say, well finished.. great placement and good weight on the hit, it was almost like a pass! 3-1 it finished, what a last ten minutes, shocking defending from Liverpool to allow Santa Claus in...
Woots~ Christmas period coming soon. Not just the celebrations, but the hectic famous 4-match in 2 weeks schedule for all clubs, in which Liverpool need, need to collect almost maximum points, 'cos the rest of the Big 4 are going to! And also, with no FERNANDO TORRES! Dieeeeeeee...

With only a day away to the start of ASEAN's premier international competition, not Asia's, ASEAN's, Singapore are the team every country wants to beat, or thrash. They do start as favourites, but with Indonesia ever-improving, and Thailand under former Villa and Man City coach Peter Reid, the latters might have something to say about that.
Goalkeepers: Singapore do have one of the better goalkeepers in ASEAN in Lionel Lewis. Having had a couple of trials around Europe but never really getting a contract, Lewis has been starring in the S-League. Some believe he is MLS-material, but has never been given a chance abroad just yet. His huge stature and fast reflexes, along with a good command of his penalty box, will definitely give the young defence in front of him a confidence boost. The back-ups in Hassan Sunny is pretty decent and good enough to call upon, after his heroics against Saudi Arabia in the recent WCQ, where Singapore lost 2-0. Hyrulnizam Jumaat is there just to make up the youngsters, plus experience of course.
Defenders: The first choice defensive four of Noh Rahman, Baihakki Khaizan, Precious and Daniel Bennett is one of the best defence around. Coupled with the sheer presence of Precious and a good reading of the game by Khaizan, and flanked by a quick Noh Rahman and experienced Bennett, this defence will be one of the hardest to get past in the competition. Consistency, however, is something they have to work out. Juma'at Jantan is a good back-up for Noh Rahman, as is Ismail Yunos, who can play across the defence. Shaiful Esah and Rosman Sulaiman are the other alternatives defensively.
Midfielders: The quartet of Shi Jiayi, John Wilkinson, Mustafic Fahrudin and Shahril Ishak are not bad a midfield itself. The athleticism of Wilkinson, passing ability of Shi Jiayi, combativeness of Mustafic, and the creativity of Shahril Ishak, will do well in this competition. With a good blend of attacking flair and defensive qualities, their performance during the competition is key to Singapore's success. They will have to do the providing for the front men. Others that might pipe one of the midfielder's places are the likes of the really pacey Ridhuan Muhammad and defensive minded Isa Halim, whilst Mustaqim Manzur is another young, tricky offensive midfielder.
Forwards: Indra Sahdan Daud and Aleksandar Duric are my pick for the front two spots. This "big-small" combination boasts pace and height, as well as the natural finishing prowess of both the strikers - more notably Indra - plus the ability of Duric to create space. Their back-ups are as impressive, with last tournament's top scorer Noh Alam Shah (10 goals) providing good finishing technique and much bite up front as well. Agu Casmir also has the pace, and much strength to boast, however consistency isn't his greatest attribute.
Thailand are really Singapore's greatest threat in the knock-out rounds. With full-back Suree Sukha and forward Teerasil Dangda having had short trial with Man City and loans to other European clubs, they do have players with experience. Another striker Theerathep Winothai was from the academies of Crystal Palace and Everton, and now going to join a Belgium club. One player familiar to Singapore is definitely Tampines winger Sutee Suksomkit, who has a deadly left foot and can deliver pin-point precision crosses. However, the main, main man to watch is Datsakorn Thonglao, who is the heartbeat of the whole Thai team. Armed with a great freekick and attacking ability, he'll be the one to stop should Singapore meet in the competition.
So yeah... C'mon! Don't let me fall asleep!
Seeya~!

From the Tiger beer-sponsored Tiger Cup (from 1996 to 2004), to the ASEAN Football Championship (2007), and now, it's called the 2008 AFF Suzuki Cup... Singapore won the 1998, 2004 and 2007 editions, and would want to add the 2008 one to their trophy cabinet, to make it an historic 4 wins.
However, they are plagued with much injuries and retirements to key players of previous editions, and this might affect their chances. The likes of ex-skipper Aide Iskandar and experienced veteran S Subramani retiring, and with speedy, tricky players like Khairul Amri and Fazrul Nawaz injured, some doubt whether drafted in replaces will be sufficient.
Some new faces to this Championship are the likes of Young Lions' goalie Hyrulnizam Jumaat and defender Ismail Yunos.
Singapore do have a few very experienced players, who have played at the top level for many years now, like 37-years young forward Aleksandar Duric, Home Utd superstar Indra Sahdan Daud, SAFFC defender Daniel Bennett, and Singapore's No. 1 Lionel Lewis, and this are probably the spine of the team.
Various foreign talents like China-born Shi Jiayi, who can really pass the ball over long distances, and takes much of Singapore's set-pieces; Serbian-born Mustafic Fahrudin, is a very composed defensive midfielder, with good tackling technique and is also VERY useful with penalties; English-born John Wilkinson, who is very good on the ball and a decent passer of the ball. Other foreigners are African-born defender Precious and striker Agu Casmir.
The future talents in the squad currently include the likes of Shahril Ishak, Baihakki Khaizan, Juma'at Jantan, Ridhuan Muhammed and Isa Halim. The former is a great midfield talent for Singapore, almost Steven Gerrard-like player, with the latter four either defenders or defensive-minded full-backs or midfielders.
So yeah... First up is Cambodia shown on cable at 5.55pm on Friday. Go catch the match!

So with all these campaigns about climate change, global warming and what have you, it's time we start conserving the environment and it's energy right? Haha... Well, I wonder, why is it only now that we have all these? You mean no one could have foreseen this?
Well then, here's my 5 ways to save energy and money $, for peepz this holidays.
1. Sleep early. Sounds stupid right? Well, you see, most people now go to sleep around the time period of 12am-3am, and while some wake up at 9am-11am, a small few awake at 1pm the next day. So all these late nights means you have to switch on your lights. So why not change? Sleep real early and wake up early. So like you sleep at around 8-10pm, meaning no lights will be on, and wake up around 7am-9am, where there is the natural sunlight! And that way you can use the computer or what have you with natural light!
2. Bath in the Day. Well like the above one, you bath at night = you waste $$ having the lights turned on. Bathing in the day allows you to use the bathroom with no need to turn the lights on! So bath in the day, or at best the evening, where there's still light!
3. Do More Outdoor Activities. Do more Sports! Play basketball, football, or what have you. Go outdoors to the parks, beaches where there is no need for you to use up electricity! That way the electricity bill falls! Running over gadgets! Sounds good?
4. Go to the Mall More Often. Go to places where there is already electricity running and energy being used, so the efficiency, yield or whatever of the energy is maximized! Haha, you have fun and yet save the Earth! Wooh!
5. Use Cold Water. Do everything that concerns water with cold water, or normal room temperature water. Don't bath with hot water, or clean with hot water, well 'cause there's the energy needed to heat up the damn water. So this saves $$ as well!
Haha well if you think these 5 ways are crazy...
I don't blame you!
It's just some randomnesss

It just so happened to point at me. =) Oh this period of whole day Math-ing in the Hall. Wonderful, somehow I'm gonna miss it. The Sports Hall supposedly plan to finish on September this year. Now it's December, it's only just about to finish. LOL... *No comments* The pile of rubble work that sat beside my table all this while. Now all gone! In some plastic bag hopefully getting recycled. WTH. =)
So yeah. Randomness!
Carrie Underwood - Just A Dream (Live at 2008 CMAs)
I really like this song, even though it's kinda sad. I'm a real big fan of Carrie Underwood, her voice is very powerful. ;) So yeah... Enjoy this live performance. Her most recent album is pretty good too; "Carnival Ride". Btw, she's kinda hot in black as well. Haha
