Really bored.

I need to get out and do something fun. But I guess the only thing that I'm allowed to do is STUDY, MUG, STUDY, MUG, Sleep, and Eat. This sunday is the IPL final and I guess I'm going to hijack Balaji's house again to watch. And then there's my stupid violin exam next Sunday. I'm only looking forward to it because it means that I never need to do a damn violin exam again in my life. YESSSSSSS. =)

I just finished reading the Infinity Crisis novelization (it's a novelization of the whole DC Comic Infinity Crisis arc, comic book enthusiasts will know what I'm talking about) Its really good, and it shatters the illusion that comic books are all happy go lucky with righteous heroes. Superboy's death at the end was quite shocking. I didn't know any of the Super family can die!! Ok I must sound like a real geek by now. Haha.

I've also been watching Chris Rock's comedies. He really isn't that good. But the issues, and the way he deals with them is really cool.

Well I've got to go. HERE'S A NOTE TO ALL CRICKET GUYS. ANYONE WANT TO PLAY CRICKET DURING THE HOLS?? CONTACT ME!! Haha. Yes. I'm that bored.

Cheers.

The long wait

Well, the hols are finally here. If you can call it hols that is.

After this June, its a mad dash to the end. JCT, Prelims, A-Levels, Uni Appication, etc. Time really does fly when one's having "fun".

Mardi Gras was great. Really. Though I didnt get any costume or anything, the company I spent the night with made it real fun. First the class guys during Mr Varella's magic show (which was amazing) and then the cricket boys. The mood and atmosphere of the whole thing was really amazing.

Before I go on, I'd like to dedicate something to someone.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARAH SOH! =)

There. Done. hahahahahahaha

My weekend's been really boring and slow. Nothing interesting has happened. I finally watched Azhagiya Tamil Magan (tamil movie) and like my cousin said, even by Tamil movie standards it insults ones intelligence. Really. Then there was this long chat with a person, who to me, will always be a Special Friend. Ask no questions, expect no answers everyone else.

NEW ZEALAND ARE KICKING ENGLAND BUTT. HAHA. Ross Taylor made an amazing century, and Vettori followed it up with a brilliant 5-for. (I have officially bored everyone who doesnt understand cricket.) It always nice to watch NZL stick it to England. England are a total bunch of whining, pathetic, over rated players. Nuff said.

Well I'm done.

Cheers.

SINGLE HANDEDLY SHUT DOWN THE TJC LIBRARY TODAY.



Nah just kidding. I was doing some filmed interview, (with a really cool cameraman crew) for god knows what and the cameraman got pissed off that everyone in the LIBRARY was making a lot of NOISE (ironic isnt it) and then he just threw everyone out and closed the library for that one hour that I was filming. (dont flood my tagboard asking me what it was for, just ask me in person! =D)

This entire SGC first draft thing is really annoying me. Why in gods name can we not include TA1 & 2 stuff? Thats as good as saying that anything we did in those two years is worthless! Did we just waste 2 years of our freaking lives? Please rethink this to avoid a whole bunch of angry students TJC admin.

There's something I've always felt and never said. To all my friends who might be reading this or not: THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU. =) Each one of you makes time spent with you worthwhile in a different and sometimes quirky fashion (be it humping with the cricket boys or clowning around with the class). Don't ask me why I'm doing this. Something told me I should do this today and thus I did it. Haha.

First rehearsal tomorrow. I'm quite tense, but at the same time I know that I know my stuff. I just need to remain calm. To everyone out there who bothers, COME DOWN FOR MY SOLO CONCERT ON THE MORNING OF JUNE 8th. (exact time will be provided sometime after) SUPPORT WILL BE APPRECIATED. XD

Well thats all folks!

Cheers.






"So Hum Hallelujah,
Just of the key of reason.
I thought I loved you,
it was just how you looked in the light.
A teenage vow in the parking lot,
"Till tonight do us apart"
I sing the blues and swallow them too."

Fall For You

Thank you Gavin for introducing me to this song. I heard it before on the radio, but I never really knew what song it was.

Here's Fall For You by Secondhand Serenade.

The best thing about tonight's that we're not fighting
Could it be that we have been this way before
I know you don't think that I am trying
I know you're wearing thin down to the core

But hold your breathe
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I wont live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
Your impossible to find

This is not what I intended
I always swore to you i'd never fall apart
You always thought that I was stronger
I may of failed
But I have loved you from the start
Ohhhh

But hold your breathe
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I wont live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
It's impossible

So breathe in so deep
Breathe me in
I'm yours to keep
And hold onto your words
Cuz talk is cheap
And remember me tonight
When your asleep

Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I wont live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
Tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I wont live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find

Cheers.

After a blood test and a rush of blood

Well I can finally say that after four long days of feeling darn unwell, I finally feel good. Yeaaa and it feels REAL GOOD.

Its good to see New Zealand hold of England in the first test. Daniel Vettori proved why he's the best left arm spinner (screw you monty panesar) in the world, with a brilliant 5 wicket haul. (YAY) But I am really grouchy that Brendon McCullum missed out on his century. He sure as hell deserved it more than that idiot Vaughan. McCullum should open. =)

Oh, and I think this whole "quota controversy" thats been happening for a really long while in South African cricket is really dumb. "A minimum of five players of colour were required in the 14-man squad"... What rubbish. You don't select players based on colour, you select them ONLY if they've proved their worth.

Oh, and I absolutely HAVE to say this here.

PORTSMOUTH HAVE WON THE FA CUP. WOOHOOOOOO. XD

For those who think I'm crazy, I officially stopped supporting any big four team at the start of the LAST season, and chose then to support Portsmouth. Harry Redknapp is a really amazing "wheeler-dealer" (as strait times puts it) manager.

Anyone interested in watching Hindi movies should pick up one called Taare Zameen Par (spelling might be a bit wrong). I'm one who doesn't really watch tamil and hindi movies, so I settled to watch this with some strong prejudice. But I was really touched by this story of a young dyslexic kid. Aamir Khan is a really really really good actor. I won't say anymore, JUST GO WATCH.

Well thats all, I really want to get back to school after a 5 day hiatus.

Cheers.

Hotter than thou

Yup, at 38.8 degrees, I'm pretty sure I'm the hottest kid on the block. Bleagh.

I hate falling sick. This is the second time I'm falling sick this year, and its really annoying. There's this feeling to just lie down and sleep all the time. And EVERYTHING hurts to touch. Its so stupid.

I guess I caught the My Heroes Ability craze too. Its really addictive. And I want to watch KUNG FU PANDA. HAHA. Its been a really long time since I watched a movie just to laugh. And as I say this, I'm watching Aladdin and the King of thieves on Disney Channel. Genie is really the BEST disney character in my opinion. Robin Williams is AMAZING.

Kolkata Knight Riders have finally discovered their winning ways again. =) Shoaib Akhtar just went crazy with 4 wickets in 3 new ball overs. The IPL is becoming really interesting now, with the teams that were supposed to do well langushing at the bottom of the table. I really want to watch the final! And the NZ vs England test series is finally starting. I really want to see NZ do well.

Well I'm going back to sleep. Ciao.

Cheers.

Cricket Withdrawal Syndrome

You know you have Cricket Withdrawal Syndrome when you,

1) Start randomly using household items as a cricket bat to perfect that cover drive. Things included are, an umbrella, a book, rolled up newspaper, and a random bamboo pole.

2) Play stickcricket and randomly run around the house screaming when your team scores the winning runs of the last ball. (yes I really did this)

3) Practice bowling action with all manners of things, like oranges, balloons, and small soft toys (a little rat in my case).

4) Watch cricket on a tiny mosaic screen on TV.

5) Randomly create "Best World XI", "Best T20 XI", and "Best test XI".

6) Randomly mimic cricket commentators when having sane conversations with family.

Well yes, I do have it, because I've done all of the above. Only one remedy is useful..... MORE CRICKET. =)

Stupid day at school. Maths in class assignment was ok, but the econs CSQ was really bad. LIKE REALLY BAD. Grr. On the bright side, me and Balaji now have our first Humpism follower! EUGENE LIM FANG JUN, WELCOME TO BROTHERHOOD OF THE HUMP. OUR COMMANDMENTS ARE ON BALAJI'S BLOG. FOLLOW THEM STRICTLY, AND THE GREAT CLOONEY WILL SHOW YOU THE WAY TO HUMPING PARADISE. =)

Ive got new shoes!!!! Yay. Love them. Puma Sneakers, and the yellow on brown looks pretty cool! And Eugene introduced me to this sweet piano My Chemical Romance tribute! ITS AMAZING. Shall get it off him.

Chem SPA tomorrow, and I'm now going back to mugging.

Cheers!

(P.S. After all this time, you still fill me up with that warm fuzzy feeling.)






'Cause its nine in the afternoon.
Your eyes are the size of the moon.
You could cause you can so you do.
We're feeling so good,
Just the way that we do,
When its nine in the afternoon."

Just Hump

Ive got lot of nonsensical thoughts in my head, so I've decided to throw them all out here for every one's viewing pleasure.

Random thought 1:

Here's something very interesting that came to me a long while back. Imagine that every time you make a certain decision in your life, for example choosing between going to lunch at a specific place, there is another alternate reality where the OTHER decision is made. Get it? Here's a more detailed example. Imagine if your friend asks you if you would like to go for a movie, and you say no for some reason. Now what I believe in, is that the minute you say no, another alternate reality has you in that same circumstance saying YES. So there might be a million Raghav's living completely different lives, in parallel times. An extension to this weird thought is that when you die, and go to heaven, paradise or whatever it is that you believe in, you get to meet all these other YOUS and see how your life would have panned out if you had made some different decision. Its not just for simple things like the example above. Sometimes when you want to say something, but you choose not to? There's another you SAYING it, somewhere else.

Cool eh?

Random thought 2:

So here's the more retarded thing that me and Balaji have recently come up with. Its called Just Humpism. Its the new governing philosophy for our lives. JUST HUMP. And as of Saturday, we have officially made it a religion. Followers are welcome. You can go to balaji05.blogspot.com to read the 5 COMMANDMENTS of Humpism soon after he puts it up. We've decided that our God shall be George Clooney, the guy who's 47, single, and JUST HUMPING. Haha.

Well that's it for the random thoughts. Spent yesterday night watching a testosterone loaded movie called DOOM. Easily the dumbest movie I've watched in a while, except for that whole FPS part of that movie that was quite creative. And I now also have Pull the Pin! The new Stereophonics album! YAY! =)

Cheers!





"Why don't you tell him that I'm leavin'
never lookin back again
You found somebody who does it better than he can
no more making you cry,
no more them gray skies
girl we flying on the G5 G5"

Hakuna Matata

Hilarious bus rides are the best. =)

Tomorrow promises to be a really boring day. *yawn* GP presentation, maths tutorial, chem tutorial, physics SPA. bleagh. BORRRIIINNNGGGGG. Until training tomorrow, which is most probably going to be completely retarded. Am looking forward to using my old bat after a long hiatus. Nothing beats the feeling you can get when you use a bat that you're damn used to.

SMO trainings are a real blow to the ego. I always sit there and do my BEST to understand, but inevitably I need to call for help, while all the others solve the questions with relative ease. Booo. And I swear the lighting system in classroom 420 hates me. haha.

I think it is amazing to watch underdogs triumph in any competition. Its why I support New Zealand in international cricket. Rajastan Royals are another team that are defying all odds and sitting prettily on top of the IPL table (cricket for those people going "huh?"). Shane Warne is really the most amazing captain Australia never had. But maybe he's only doing so well BECAUSE he's leading a team of relative unknowns against bigger, more reputed teams. Whatever it is, I really hope these guys do win the IPL. God knows they deserve it.

AND I REFUSE TO ADMIT THAT I BLOG LIKE A BIMBO. I DO NOT. SO "PFFFTT" TO YOU. XP

Cheers.

Here we go again

This has been a pretty sleepy weekend.

I got my SAT over and done with on Saturday. Hope I did better. Felt so relieved after it was done. Then went to watch Iron Man with Firdaus, Jonathan, Kenneth and Han Wee. It was in my opinion a brilliant movie. But then again I am a comic book fan, and Iron Man is one of the two superheroes I LOVE (the other being Gambit). I still remember the first time I picked the two of them to form my tag team when playing Marvel vs Capcom the first time. It was love at first, er "game over"? Although I got OWNED on my first go, I eventually kicked Apocalypse's ugly butt with the same two heroes (Yay!).

Back to the movie. Robert Downey Jr. played Tony Stark damn well, and the humour in the movie was not forced or unwarranted. Watching Iron Man get repeatedly doused by a fire extinguisher holding robot was funny as hell. Jeff Bridges also deserves a mention for the way he played Obadiah Stane. Likewise for Terrence Howard who played James Rupert Rhodes.

Cricket trainings slowing down from next week. It'll feel very different, without all the crazy trainings that end at about 7.30+ on three days of the week. I'll have to start catching up on the work that I've been missing due to the tournament and trainings.

Random question: Is it possible to get a Deja Vu about getting a Deja Vu? (It happened)

Well thats all I guess. I'm out.

To the batmobile!

Cheers.



"Next time, baby."

Sweet victory

So finally, TJC have the win they so duly deserved today.

A comprehensive pasting of VJC has never felt this good. Considering this is my last 11 a side game for TJC, and that we so desperately wanted our only win, it felt real good.

Sometimes I wonder if I'd ever enjoy myself more in life, than when I played for TJC Cricket. ESPECIALLY this year. The team is FULL of guys who have made every training, match, team outing etc enjoyable. In four years, I've gone from batting at number 11, to opening the batting against reputable teams like RJC. The memories I have from playing for this team are endless.

WHICH IS WHY, I've decided that I will stay in Singapore next year, and MAKE SURE I can go help the boys in every way I can, whether its just cheering or its training them. I owe it to the team. =)

SATs tomorrow, and I really pray my hard work pays off this time. The mediocre score I got the first time really belied the insane amount of work I put in. So I'm just praying really hard.

Watching the J1s talk about handing up PI today, and how bad PW is, yada yada I'm hit by a strange sense of Deja Vu. I still remember all the crazy things my group went through, including coming up with a retarded idea of an edible sundial (yes I just said EDIBLE SUNDIAL) over a spontaneous meeting. Despite all the rubbish we had to endure, and a non existant group mate it felt really good when the "A" came out this year for the group. Does prove that hard work doesn't go a waste.

Now I realize that I've been jumping topic like crazy through this post. Gah whatever. I'm on a high.

WE WON. XP

Cheers.

These are the years we're given,
