Best time, behind us.

Went back to NYP today. Took part in the HTwoO futsal tournament. We didn't make it to the the next round though it was pretty close. We lose the 1st match by a goal I think, drew the 2nd when we should really have won if it wasn't a bad mistake by our goalkeeper, and won the last match as expected since the the other only had 1 guy playing outfield, with the others being girls. I expected to win with a bigger margin though, but the rest were a bit complacent, unfortunately. But a win is still a win, eventhough it didn't mean anything since we blew our chance in the second match.

It was good going back to NYP I must say. Really brought back memories and laughter and pain some would say. Melvin was playing in my team so as we walked around NYP, we started talking about how fun life was in Poly.

Yeap, especially the time me and Mimi met.

Going for the marriage course tomorrow. No, it's not about how to go through a wedding, but it's more of a preparation of how marriage life would be. No practical I hope.

Wonder if E-Learning could be an option?

I want to watch Man U

Yes, I will soon be the proud owner of the new Manchester United jersey. 

Mimi and me went to get some Man U stuff that is supposed to be the wedding gift to me. We saw some new Man U merchandise the other day at Queensway Shopping Centre so decided to do our shopping early.

Actually we went to the Weston Corporation at Peninsular but there wasn't anything nice there so went to Queensway instead. We bought one small Man U ball, scarf and pre-ordered the new jersey. Yes, soon it will be mine. On the 16th to be exact.

Anyway, since we pre-ordered the jersey, we will be eligible for the lucky draw to watch Man U play in KL. I wasn't thinking too much about it actually. All I wanted was the jersey but then the sales guy started some small talk with us and commented that there wasn't much application for the draw and that I might have a good chance of winning it. From then onwards, my mind started thinking, "Hey, I could be the one going KL". Time goes by and I started thinking, "Hey, now I really want to go KL to watch Man U".

Damn that sales guy.

Now I will be super disappointed if I don't get it. 

Damn it.

Ok, so let's say I do get to go KL. There's a few things holding me back. Alot of things actually. 1st, I would need coverage for when I go over there. Finding coverage now is already so hard, no less when I have to take leave for the trip.

2nd, the match is on the 18th. I have the stupid marriage course on the 19th. I doubt I will be able to make it back on time unless of course I can teleport but that transport system seems like it won't be ready by next week so highly doubt that. 

3rd? Hmm.. The fact that I have not renewed my passport? Very big factor. I should have put that as the 1st factor so that I don't have to think of the others.

So that's that. Somehow after all the legit reasons not to go KL, I still, deep down in my Man U loving heart, that I do want to go KL to watch them. 

Damn that sales guy.

Why can't they come to Singapore instead of KL?

Fitness Assessment

Work just got a little more fun. For me at least. My manager just assigned me a small project to be done by end of the month. Not a big project exactly, but having something to do while working at the gym is getting harder to come by. I'm actually tasked to come out with a fitness assessment for new members who signed up for the gym. It's quite surprising it took us so long to finally think of doing it. I would have thought it's the least a proper gym would do. 

It's not really new to me. Conducted quite a number of fitness assessment during the TEP at Bodywatch, but unfortunately not that much for me to remember exactly how it's done.

In my defence it has been more than 5 years.

So the past few days had me looking through my past notes (thank god I kept them) and the Internet on what to do for fitness assessment. I pretty much got all the information I need. Now I just need to do a little feasibility study on each gym, the costing, blah blah.

Personally on my part to come up with  fitness assessment is not that hard. I'm more concern about how to convince the OICs to follow through with conducting them. From what I know the OICs can be quite, to put it nicely, unenthusiastic at times. Not sure about the other centres. Quite convinced how mine will react. 

Owen A Devil?

I can't believe I watched Transformers twice. Can't beat Mimi though. She watched it 3 times. 

Now I just have to wait for Ice Age 3 (3d of course), Harry Potter, G.I. Joe... Anything else I missed out? 

So Owen is now a Man U player. Who would have seen that coming. Is it a wise choice from Alex Ferguson? Only time would tell. I am not alone if I think this transfer is a bit weird. Business sense, it's brilliant. Man U got him for free, so that means we still have the bulk of the transfer fee we got from Ronaldo's sale. Which means we might see more players coming in the next few weeks, hopefully. 

But is Owen the same player he was? Nevermind that he was once from Liverpool, but can he get back the form that made him a legend years ago? I don't see it right now. Sure I hope that it is one of Ferguson's astute sense in play here, that Owen would be able to do a Henrik Larsson, and that his miserable time in Newcastle was because of, well, Newcastle. But can he make it at Man U? Will he fit into Man U's scheme of things? I don't know but if it's a gamble, it sure is a risky one since Man City is putting up quite a strong team, and the others are sure getting stronger too.

Only time would tell. What I am sure of is that I love Man U's new jersey. I love the black chevron, makes them look fierce. Too bad I can't get it immediately. Me and Mimi have plans to make one of the wedding gift to me a Man U-themed gift, made up of the jersey, Man U memorabilias and stuff. That means I can only get the jersey in 5 months. 

Argghh... 

Pay attention people!

My father had a weird encounter this morning on our way to work. We were walking towards the end of the platform of the MRT station when we saw this old man in what looks like a security guard uniform on the escalator going down. He saw my father and then started to wave at my father like a long lost friend. I saw my father's face and he was like "WTF?" but not without waving back at him. When I asked him who that guy was, he answered with a puzzled look on his face, "I don't know!"

Hahahaha..

I don't why but I'm closer to my father more than my mum. I don't talk much to my father though, which is sad if you ask me. Behavior-wise, I think I'm identical to my father. What you see in me, that's how my father is, truly lame. We have this weird humor that seems like only the 2 of us can understand. 

Well, better late than never.

Happy Father's Day!



I don't know why we even bother putting up signs in the gym to inform members about upcoming events. They don't seem to read them at all. The shooting event for the AYG started today at Safra Yishun so carparks are closed until the 4th. Bear in mind that we put up signs everywhere. Not only the gym but the whole club. Still members come in today bitching about the carpark not being available and asking me what is going on in the club. Haiz.. 

Whoever said ignorance is bliss?
