finally after years n years of waiting...superman returns is opening tmr!!!!
and of course ive got my tickets booked already! im not taking any chances with this one.
x-men or spiderman i can afford to watch week after opening.
but for superman, HELL NO!
its gotta be opening day! no questions asked!
and so we come to it at last....JUNE 29th 2006!!!
other things ive been up to when im not counting down the seconds to tmr.
1. went for a run yesterday. it was horrible. ive learnt one thing....dont run after u have taken a nap in the aircon. your body will be too cold n not warmed-up yet. when i ran i felt as though i was running thru a furnace. not a good feeling. its nice to feel shag after a run cos it gives u a sense of accomplishment. but if u feel pain, then something is wrong. and yesterday i felt PAIN. was gasping for breath even as i was walking home after the run. not gonna do that again...
2. been reading this comic called Y:The Last Man. Its about a plague that kills every since male creature on the planet, except for one man named Yorrick BRown. the story is about how yorrick journeys accross the world to get to his girlfriend in australia, while along the way also discovering why is it he was the only man spared. There are 7 collected trades now on sale....i bought the first one from kino the other day and ive finished reading it already. as usual, it ended on a bloody cliffhangar so now i have no choice but to buy the next set. im more than happy to do it tho..hehe.
3. my body clock is totally screwed. been watching both soccer matches for two days straight now. and somehow the afternoon naps are not making up for the loss of sleep. i feel tired ALL DAY LONG now. thats not good.... especially when driving with the air con blowing at my face.
4. need to start practicing my AutoCad. brought the CD back to spore n told myself that i will do it in my free time. still havent gotten down to doing it yet. i want to start, but there are so many other distractions...PSP, comics, world cup. ahhhhhh. truth is im just too lazy to do it.
yawn. im sleepy again.
oh well, might as well take another nap.
the more i sleep, the sooner it will be to tmr.....and the sooner i can watch SOOOPERMAN RETURNS!!!!!

aussie aussie aussie! oi! oi! oi!
Went to watch the world cup match btw australia and japan last night at the BIG screen at federation sq with esther. It was maaaaaaaad!
The atmosphere was amazing! We got there about half an hour before kick off, and the square was already totally packed!!! remember those images of a sea of red koreans in world cup 2002? yeah, it was exactly like that!!! there mustve been thousands of people there. luckily we managed to squeeze a bit here n there n get good places up the front. nobody was sitting down tho...everyone stood up thru the full match!!! felt sorry for esther cos i asked her to come along, and she had to stand the whole match. Thanks esther!
oh there was one japanese flag in the crowd...which was quite surprising...in the midst of hordes of screaming, and possibly drunk, australians. pity them...hope they didnt get bashed up. haha.
neways....what a match! down 1-0 till the 84th minute...then up stepped CAHILL!!!! 3 goals in the last 5 mins! DAAAAAAAAMMN!!!!!! everyone went crazy. there were even flares!!! like those that u see in LaLiga or Serie A matches. dunno if thats legal or not. oh well, the police didnt do anything. hahaa.
after the match, people were just going insane on the streets. traffic literally could not move cos there was a sea of people blocking the main intersection of the city. picture thousands of raving fans at the intersection of orchard n scotts road....and cars honking away as far as can be heard. thats what the atmosphere was like. damn i cant imagine what it must be like to be in germany!!! okok...new addition to "things to do b4 i die". gotta watch a world cup final match live.
got home at about 2am after sending esther home, and watched the USA vs czech republic match till about 3am. czech were leading at half time by 2-0, and we all know USA sucks too bad to come back from that, so i went to sleep. wouldve caught the italy matchat 4am, but i had to wake up early today to study. =(
exam is tomorrow. haha...yes exams are still going on amidst all this soccer. im quite worried actually. i dun feel as prepared as i was last sem. oh well.... we shall see. if its meant to be, its meant to be. hahaha. fate can be a good thing when it works to your convenience.
kk...lunch time. ive posted the rest of the photos of last nite in my photo gallery above.
5 more days! just 5 more days!!!!!!!
cya all soooooooon! =)

ouch
i'm typing this post with only my right hand.
left hand is currently incapacitated.
reason? pen knife accident.
i was so proud of the fact that ive gone almost 1 yr in archicourse without any penknife cuts.
well, now i have one... =(
quite a bad one actually.... managed to slice off a chunk of my finger. ok lah, a chunk is exaggeratin. but it definitely had volume. and it went down to the whatchamacallit beneath the skin. tendons? muscles? wateva...im not a doc.
neways....now i cant play FIFA!!!!! cos i cant press the "WSAD" keys on the keyboard without having to use my index finger. argh! maybe its a blessing. yes, i think it is.
shit. i cant seem to stop the blood from flowing.... used dunno how many plasters n cotton balls already.
maybe i'll try letting it just bleed till the blood coagulates n clots naturally.

just got back from the frankston race....
omg it was terrible....took pain to a whole new level.
the terrain was like the first half of macritchie....only this time it was ALL THE WAY.
lots of little annoying hills that screw up your rhythm....
so so so glad its over now.
on the last lap (it was 4 x 4km laps) i dont think ive ever been in that much pain in a run. the army half marathons were pain, and the full marathon too....but this one was somehow worse. i felt as though i was literally gonna pass out of exhaustion. but the girls' race was first, so by the time the men were running, they were cheering us on. so i couldnt stop or just collapse along the way...pai seh ah....haha.
neways...did a 68m 14s for 16km.....was pretty satisfied. i was aiming for anything under 70 mins. and given the harsh terrain, im happy with the timing. no doubt i still finished second last compared to the other men in the running club, but i kinda got used to that already. haha. not being last is a good thing unto itself.
ah....now i can flop onto the sofa, whip out my ta-pao dinner and watch TV....yay!

just about to head off for the Frankston race now..
ankle/shin still hurts from tuesday's training.
spoke to my coach...he said it may be a shin spleen but i wont know till it gets worse...argh.
ive never had a shin spleen before, but from what i head, its a real bitch n takes a while to heal.
been resting it since tuesday, but yesterday i had to walk about 20min to the mosque on an uphill, and it started to hurt again.
crap
gonna wear an ankle guard today.....16km......hope it holds up.
getting old lah...hahahaha
alrighty then. *takes in deep breath*. lets go bring on the pain.

argh!
i cant seem to shake this feeling of 'un-afraidness' (witness the depth of my vocabulary) that im feeling. I should be worried! very worried! history exam is in 4 days and i havent even finished reading thru my reader ONCE! by this time last sem, i had read it thru once, highlighted the impt stuff, and was halfway thru my second reading.
im getting too slack
there just too many distractions. HAH! excuses, iylia!
but its true!
studying away from home helps. went out to study last nite with some frens till about 10pm. that was the most productive 3 hrs of my day. had i not gone out to study with them, i'd have prob spent the time on my couch, eating chips and watching LOST. argh. its bad....i have little motivation to study. just wanna get these papers over with and get my ass back to spore!
comic book shipment was delayed this week. grrr..... something about memorial day in the states. damn ah-mericans.
