Sunday solitude..

Everyone pls take note.. the one week break is over.. I gotta believe it.. Just feel that the one week break has been able to pay off my sleep debt for the past few weeks.. Didnt achieve much really for this week.. Feel i am more productive during sch days and when the exams are around the corner.. Gotta put a few pics soon.. Attended a few events over the past few days...

Missed out on my tutorial mates class gathering though..From my friend's short summary, gathered that Mahjong can seriously be a very addictive game, having the right company and game can be a potent mix.. playin in to the wee hours of the morning.. playing winning eleven amongst friends does it for me.. just as much as soccer is.. just as much as bhangra is .. and kite-flying probably.. haven done that for a long time.. Haha.. Kite- flyin.

As u grow older. u sort of grow out of some activities... Hmmm.. Dog and bone.. Catching. Chapteh.. Hantam Bola.. Can soccer.. Straw and bullet... Chapteh still keeps it entertained. but not as much as probably tennis or badminton or probably captain's ball.. or hockey(retired). Ultimate Frisbee is goin to be the next big thing.. Football is the underlying sport that runs thru everything.. Sometimes.. it just goes overboard ar.. Definitely gonna learn a few more games down the road.. See how it goes.. Anybody in the mood for a game of Dog and Bone.. Haha.. I know u would enjoy it... Anyway.. studies can be infectious as well as a liability. but I always have to look at the big picture.. Ok Manish. Big Picture.. Bollywood Superstar... dont think so. Football Superstar...wishful thinking..Neighbourhood Humanitarian... noble idea.. Class clown.. haha.. ____________ Superstar.. For now, its a blank.. there are many choices.. gonna make one soon and stand by it.. Manish.. from the past to the present to the near future and beyond.. Come on!!!!

What a weekend la..

Somehow or rather.. its been up and down for me for this weekend and past few hours... Feel like i am on the verge of a major breakdown.. Played soccer on sat morning.. Scored a few powerful goals.. Yeah man.. they were great goals.. cutting in from the left and directin the shot to the extreme end of the goal post.. Felt really good to sharpen my goalscoring touch.. Anywya.. guess what happened on sun evening..

Playin soccer with my neighbourhood khakis.. was doing well.. sprayin a few good passes here and there.. then this uncle came from behind me and stamped on my ankle..Now.. this uncle.. u might be 40 plus years old.. have a few kids.. but u dont know a shit abt the game of football.. U have no right to play soccer and be a hazard to other players who have been playing the game for countless number of years.. in my case 15 odd years.. and inflict a month long injury on me.. come on la.. it hurts really bad now.. cant even say anything to him.. he is an uncle.. he doesnt know what he was doing.. he was only playin the game coz his 2 kids were playing.. so uncle.. u better watch out the next time u play.. u might just end up on the dance floor.. coz soccer is not ur thing.. u look more like those KTV singer.. aiyah.. go and sing ur songs and wahtever.. dont let me see u playing on the same pitch as me again.. i wont let u play then..

Anyway.. guess what. happened today.. driving down the PIE today travelling at the speed of light.. nah.. at around 50 km/h.. this asshole of an indian.. just cut into my lane..right infront of my eyes without any signal.. Now guess what i did.. I struck the horn.. braked... and swerved to the left to avoid a crash successfully.. Congrats.. i have been promoted to the category of semi pro F1 racing car driver.. On one hand.. i felt really pissed off and felt like pumping 3 bullets into his car tyres.. let the other car tyre be his sole consolation..But then again.. I felt good.. I achieved something.. I felt like i have been drivin for years.. I felt like i have made it.. I can do without my P plate.. I can drive like a pro. Its always good to look at everythin from a postive point of view..Worst case scenario: I could have been on the hospital table.. Best case scenario: I could have been on Singapore's Greatest Escapes..

Anyway.. this thought has been goin thru my mind very recently.. i just feel that sometimes i feel very close to my classmates.. sometimes i feel very lost.. as in suddenly i feel like i dont know them.. suddenly i feel like they dont know me.. i mean we have spent the last 7 weeks together.. but then.. it just seems to everybody that the last 7 weeks were just an excuse to hang around together.. this is not right.. this is terrible.. maybe i expect everyone to be as candid and honest abt themselves as i am.. U know how it goes rite.. Just because u look like ultimate frisbee.. u should not expect everybody else to like the game as well..

There is something holding back everybody la.. they seem to be puttin on a facade.. or a face.. or a show.. everybody is hiding their true colours.. their true personalities.. their true character.. and this really makes me think.. what can be the reason for them to be holding back.. i mean i hate puttin on a show.. i never fail to expose my flaws and weaknesses.. One thing i have learnt from interactin and just being with friends and not so close friends.. "Always be honest from the start.. coz u never know till what extent that friendship might develop into..".. U never know.. Well for me as of now.. I am going all out to expose everyone's true colours!!! whether they like it or not!!! m9 on the prowl once again..

Return of the Champions League, one week break, quiz..

Woah.. the mid sem break is almost here.. and waht a way to end it.. Two big games to look forward to.. Man U vs Lisbon as well as the big one, Man Utd vs the Blue bastards from the Chelsea... I cant wait for that one.. Now i am rather annoyed at my Ntu Life for the past few days... been rather puzzled with myself.. Dont know why.. but u know what.. everything went boom!! once i stepped onto the football court at the SRC side.. scored my first two goals in N Tech Utd Colours.. It feels great to scoring goals when ur fitness is down.. It goes to show only one thing..Fitness is temporary but class is permanent..yeah man.. I must say one thing abt my football skills.. I simply love it when my accuracy is 100%... I mean i detest it when someone ballons the ball over from 3 yards out or whatever.. Come on man.. The goalpost is gaping.. at least hit the target.. make the keeper work.. I have a thing for accuracy.. I make it a point for my shots to always be on target.. It all comes with practise and patience.. Football is football.. ur football is not my football.. but my football can NEVER be your kind of football!!! Case closed!!

Missing something here man..

I dont know what it is.. or what it can be.. or what it could be.. I have just finished the last 5 weeks at NTU Biz quite easily.. The novelty of a freshman and being a newbie has worn out.. I am more an independent undergraduate tryin to plough his way thru the thick forests lyin ahead.. But in all the midst this studying and moving from lecture and making old and new friends from here and there.. I think i am not really hittin my G spot as yet.. now dont get me wrong..

I mean something's amiss here.. what am i doing.. i have become a robot, nerd, studyholic, or whatever u can call me.. but seriously.. behind all these heavy blankets of books that i have sunk my nose into.. I just feel that i gotta do something.. I gotta satisfy my craving.. my hunger.. my desire.. my passion.. my reason to maximise my undergraduate experience.. Uni life is not only abt loving ur studies.. its also abt discovering ur inner self.. I am gonna make it happen once again..
