Random stuff:

I caught the Slingers live at the Indoor Stadium. Good stuff, and it's free somemore. The only shitty thing is we can't bring our own drinks inside. Pfft. Skills-wise, Slingers are still not up to par with the Aussie teams, but they have good hustle, which is pretty important if u are a weaker team. Tactics-wise also not as good, and we have a weaker bench too. But it's ok, the scoreline was pretty close(90+ vs 100+), so it wasnt as lopsided as i thought it would be.

The only gripe is that there's too little people to support the guys. And the audience is just not enthu enuff. U need to shout DEFENSE together to scare the opponent ma. The emcee also quite cmi, so yea, can't do shit abt it. Dear NUS friends, the matches are free for us to watch. So just go SRC office and grab AS MANY TICKETS AS U LIKE and go down to support the Slingers! It's great fun, and the Slinger girls are DAMN HOT la!! Ya tt day they were decked out in mini skirts. I love mini skirts la!

Had a dinner with Shirui's bosses. Just a small affair, cos her company's only got 5 pple, so + partners ended up with just 8 pple. Chinese restaurant at the top of pan pacific hotel. Hai Tian Lou's the name. I realise angmohs like to think that there's a meaning to every single chinese phrase they see. Hai Tian Lou means Sea Sky Restaurant. It means shit. McDonalds means nothing either, it's just a name of a loser clown.

Anyways, it was quite an uncomfortable meal, cos everyone's in the workforce already, while i'm just a young punk trying to fit in. So it was hard for me to initiate conversation, and half the time i dun really get the business talk. To make things worse, i dun speak in pseudo-Californian accent like Shirui does, and i am unable to catch what they say too. So just smile, and laugh along. If u dunno, act like you know, and most importantly, dun get caught stupid!

But the food was good. So no complains, just have to be more prepared next time. Attune the ear to their style, speak their style, and know their shit. Just because u live in SG, doesnt mean u have to be completely clueless abt surfing. U have to be knowledgeable when u deal with angmohs, cos they are. I reiterate: Dun get caught stupid!

And i realise 1 thing, Singaporean Chinese like to accommodate to everyone. If the Indian guy can't understand me, i will speak in weird accented In-glish to respond like: "Vere joo vanna go?". For PRCs, i'll roll my words alittle, and add in the little er2s behind certain words. It's so weird. Y can't we have others to accommodate us, and speak in lehs and lahs? And it's only the SG chinese. It's disturbing, but there's nothing i can do. It just kicks in when it happens.

Brought Happy to Xueli's house to meet her golden retriever Muffin. Muffin's 1 mth older than Happy, and significantly bigger sized. But Muffin's a pussy dog, and is very afraid of Happy, who's much more aggressively friendly. So for half of the meetup, Happy was chasing Muffin around the house, try to smell Muffin. We just watched while they ran in circles after circles after circles. Stupid dog chasing scaredy dog.

Muffin's damn smart, and is very friendly too. He's just afraid of other animals, which is weird. He can play dead, jump on command, do handshakes and lotsa other nifty tricks. And he's very responsive to people, which is totally unlike Happy. Happy will only come to you when he wants to play with you. Fortunately tt's about 80% of the time. Otherwise, if he wants to ignore you, he will ignore you.

Here's a pic of the 2 buggers together (it's tough getting them close together cos Happy will wanna sniff Muffin, and Muffin will struggle to run away)

Look at how small Happy is compared to Muffin. In 1 mths time Happy will become as big. And my problems will increase proportionally. Muffin's unleashed btw, cos he's a guai dog. Happy's leashed of course. How can we afford to let him run around? He'll rip up the house!
