an opportunity should i take?

how should i put this? firstly, i'm not the type of person who would answer street surveys secondly, even if i did, i'm not the type of person who would be bothered to tell the truth thirdly, i won't even bother to let the surveyor know my real name. i threw all three 'points' aside on Aug 17. what happened was shamira was supposed to follow me go see fireworks. she eventually couldn't make it. but i already was at the bus stop near her place. and this is the crazy series of events which followed: i took bus 15 assuming it'd stop at eunos MRT, well, it did technically stop 200 metres away from the MRT station, but i didn't get off, i thought the bus would turn to the bus stop nearest to the station. it turned left!! i stopped at east shore hospital and made a crazy few hundred metres walk to the station, then just decided to head to peninsula's weston and champion sports for fun. reached city hall. went to peninsula. all three shops closed. timecheck 8.45pm. i thought i'd head down to bras basah so off i went. sms-ed dferina to ask her whether she was there. apparently she was with her school friends, so i passed on the opportunity to watch the fireworks. walked past bras basah and towards national library. there, i was fatefully stopped by a girl doing a survey which eventually led to me attending this entrepreneurship workshop 8 days later. only the guy up there knows what made me stop instead of decline, tell the truth instead of a lie, and actually give my contact number to her. it's been 11 days, one lunch, one snack, one workshop. is there an opportunity for me to take?

the milan legend

Born June 26, 1968, Paolo Maldini is without a doubt, the greatest ever player to don the red and black stripes of AC Milan. Rearrange his surname, Maldini, and you will find the phrase 'di Milan', which means 'of Milan' in Italian. Widely regarded as one of the best defenders in the world, Maldini made his Serie A debut for AC Milan in a 1-1 tie against Udinese on January 20, 1985. Already in his 23rd year of service with the club, he has scored 32 goals and won 7 Scudetti, 5 European Cups, 5 Supercoppa Italiana, 2 World Club Cups and 1 Coppa Italia. Maldini was part of a legendary Milan back four compromising of himself, Alessandro Costacurta, Mauro Tassotti and Franco Baresi, whom he claimed captaincy from when the former retired. Maldini has a long history with the club. His father, Cesare Maldini, captained Milan to a European Cup victory in 1963. 40 years later, in 2003, Paolo Maldini lifted the European Cup for the first time as team captain. In 1994, Maldini was the first defender to win the World Soccer magazine's World Player of the Year award. In 2005, he scored the fastest ever goal in a Champions League final, 51 seconds after kick off, in the heartbreaking defeat against Liverpool. By doing so, he became one of the oldest players to score a goal in the entire competition. He was also the Italian National Team captain for most of his career, till his international retirement in 2002. He led Italy to the Quarter Finals of the 1998 World Cup and 2nd place in Euro 2000. Although he has played in many international competitions, he has never managed to win a trophy with his country, missing out on Italy's 2006 World Cup triumph due to his retirement 4 years earlier. Aside from holding the record number of appearances for AC Milan, Paolo Maldini is also the most capped player for Italy, with 126 caps, 74 of which he was the captain. Paolo Maldini will play his last season of professional football in the 2007/2008 season, after which the Number 3 shirt will be retired in his honour, never to be used unless one of his sons manages to play for the Milan first team.

i have simple brains

before i get on to 'i have simple brains'... gan tagged me. bloody cb. lol. what's this tagging thing about? according to it i am to post 6 things that i hate or my weird habits, and then list 6 people who will have to do the same in their blogs. blah. i'll just post 3 of each. before i continue on the main post.. 1. i hate those who go against the laws of nature 2. i absolutely hate people who cheat, lie and hurt others just to get what they want 3. i hate those who oppose all that is just, e.g. crime and terrorism, basically anything which is evil in nature 4. weird habit no.1: i can get very pissed off while playing winning eleven. 5. weird habit no.2: when i eat ruffles original chips, there is bundaberg root beer to go along with it 6. weird habit no.3: whenever i buy potato chips at night, i tend to wait until after 1.30 to start on them. 6 people to saboh... 1. shamira 2. erny 3. shahidah 4. yat 5. ah cheng 6. jy ok let's get on to the main post. 'i have simple brains' why do i say this? cos i'm easily contented. all it took was just 1 single sms from her and i had a really great day, even if it was spent at home only. it could have been better though, if it could have gone the way i wanted it to be. though, despite having simple brains, i've figured out a number of external problems that will stand in my way, either now or in future. i need to get rid of these problems, and clear my own deficiencies. and i need to do all this before it's too late. like i said, there is only one goal i need to score right now. other than that, it's the exams next week! fundamentals of marketing on tuesday and communication skills on thursday. not so afraid of exams this time having been through thousands of exams since primary 1. npcc is slowly fading away from my life. i think 'that time has arrived' already. when i would slow down my service, until it slowly fades away into just a memory. it has been a good 6 years, will it extend to a 7th? or 8th? i dunno. i've been brainstorming in my head possible choices to become the new DekaPink, and also trying to think up new innovations and story plots for SPD. won't start on this Season 1 too early. i want to have a proper plan and outline before i carry on anything. this is something i'm going to finish. i'm looking for a late october start to season 1, and season 1 should end by december 2008, with 12 - 14 episodes. everything is going to be done differently this time, special POLICE dekaranger is really going to be POLICE. and SWAT is really fucking gonna be SWAT. there will be more seriousness and less of the humour which drove the original dekaranger series. wish me luck. it's been long since i released any work on tA. and i'm going to have a team shot done for the 2nd anniversary video, which, thankfully, i am not doing this year.
