Music for the day: Cao Ge 曹格 - Superwomen
Mood for the day: Good??

hi everyone. the date now is 28th june 2006 and the time is 2310hrs. in just 25hrs time, i will officially become 20 years old. well, i can still vaguely recall when i was 15 or 16, i always wished i could get to 20 years old quickly but now when im reaching it, i dont really feel like getting to that age. contradicting some may say. seriously i just dont feel like it. it seems that you are getting older. maybe its just my imagination. but then again, im just 1 more year from officially becoming an real adult (once a person hits 21, s/he is officially an adult). i wonder how im going to celebrate my 21st birthday (why am i thinking about this when im not even 20 yet?).

well, yesterday was as usual a boring day in school. fyp is boring as usual. nothing given for me to work on. its both a good and bad thing. good thing is you were not be very stressed but the bad thing is im very bored as i have absolutely nothing to do. then i received this letter saying that im selected to go for an "outing" to motorola this friday (which happens to be my birthday). im not sure what is it for but all i know is im not that bored after all. but one thing, i have to wear shirt to the place. im allowed to wear jeans and sneakers but still, shirt? i hate it man. why do i need to wear shirt? why cant wear t-shirt or polo tee? weird indeed. okay, apart from this, yesterday was very boring for me. the only thing that really shocked me was the world cup results. serious stuff. im not surprised that brazil won but im very astonished by the fact that the french won spain. spain was a good team that is in excellent form while france was just starting to pick up their form. maybe the french is more experienced considering the amount of "old players" they have. they won espanol 3-1 by the way which was a very shocking scoreline (i thought even if the french would won, they would only win 2-1). so the quarterfinals matchup goes like this:

germany vs argentina (30th june 2006, 11pm [gmt +8])

italy vs ukraine (1st july 2006, 3am [gmt +8])

england vs portugal (1st july 2006, 11pm [gmt +8])

brasil vs france (2nd july 2006, 3am [gmt +8])

to me, only the italy match is not that worth watching although i will try to watch all the matches. its the quarterfinals so i will try to make it up to watch the match. the match i want to see most would be the 1st quarterfinals match where the germans faces the argentines. i seriously want argentina to win this match (argentina supporter here. go argentines!). the germans are strong and not a team that is good to play with. but still i believe in the argentines. that can do it. go argentina, go jose pekerman (coach of argentina).

okay, moving on. today in lab was another boring day. the only thing that i did was pass my supervisor the cms thing that i was doing, to him. that was the only thing i did. and when he called me at about two plus in the afternoon, i was still sleeping. only when i keep hearing the table vibrate then i realise it was my phone. then today i actually played uno in lab. my friend bought the uno cards (zhan sheng bought it at takashimaya, rich guy i would say), so we played in the lab. then when we were playing happily, zhan sheng saw my supervisor and he thought it was our lab manager so he quickly keeped the uno cards by sweeping all the cards into his takashimaya shopping bag. by the way, geraldine was trying to use her jacket to cover the cards but his action is so well trained that in my opinion, his natural reflexes kicked in and he kept all the cards so fast that i couldnt pass him the cards in time to keep. it all happened in split second (okay, maybe not that fast) and luckily my supervisor just came in to give something to our DT. after he left, we (the ones playing the cards) was laughing real hard. really really hard. it was really funny to see zhan sheng reaction when he was keeping the cards. he seemed experienced as his actions was so natural. it was really fun. everyday that will be something fun that happens in our lab. so it wasnt that boring in lab after all.

time passes real fast. 24 hrs from now (time is 1202hrs) i will turn 20 years old. hooray? i dont really want to say that. but i really have to admit. im getting old already. time flies really fast, so fast that i thought yesterday was just the start of 2006. anyway, i didnt spent 1hr to write this, it was because at about 2315hrs, my brother was using the computer. so i let him use first. i didnt expect him to use till 2345hrs. so i only continued from there. coming back, there is no world cup today so i can really sleep early tonight (im sleeping after i finish blogging today). okay, i think im going to sleep soon. my eyes are closing. so shall stop here. will try to blog either later tonight or on friday (in this case, after my birthday). good luck everyone.
