Hon Chien the SnowBringer of Deathhhhh

As soon as i saw him, i saw dark clouds looming over the sky. Thunder and lightning followed before he spoke:


"Bow to me and Hatfield will be spared of this great plague!"



Trembling, i contemplated the consequences of my following actions.





The Great Equation (From a Marketeers Perspective):
Great plague = Tons of snow + snow fight + snow man + fun + no classes + more fun


So i said:



"No , but i will take your luggage for you instead and you get to bunk in with me for the next couple of days."

He roared , shaking the earth around us raised his arms and said:




"Ok fair enough, take that bag. Make sure you have hot chocolates and broadband internet. I'm still bringing the great plague upon Hatfield though."


*shrugs* "Ok, whatever you say boss."




So despite my best efforts to stop the great evil, my valiant efforts were in vain as immediately snow began to fall, and it came throughout all the day and the night and the day after...


and there was screams of terror, gnashing of teeth, heads were rolling...







... due to snow fights of course! =D



Pictures and videos to be found HERE (As im too laz-*cough* busy to put them all up on the blog, I had to attend to the great SnowBringer of death)

while you were gone...

So i went out the last couple of days, indulged in alot of good food... so nothing really prepare me for this when i came back...

Seems Mr Snow man was quite busy himself... at this rate, we'll see them breed faster than the rabbits of Hatfield...

After a semester.. im pretty fortunate to have a little gap of a little under 2 weeks of no classes before the new semester starts.




And now.. i've finally spring cleaned the room... and did the laundry only to have my maths fail me... laundry closes at 2200 hours.. at a glance i thought it was 11pm.. so now ..all my laundry esp my bed and pillowsheets will be stuck there for the night..





I should be doing certain things too but im just not getting round to it: like reading up more, getting my CV done up, group assignments, gahh..

Instead of doing those... i did this instead:

My fingers almost fell off in the process... and halfway through my friend and i threw ice shavings over ourselves and made snow ball then went to the other room and knocked on the door...

"It's Snowing!! Look!!! " *shows "snow" on hair and shirt and the snowball*

...that didn't work...


Must be pretty sad to end up doing that and all...

maybe it's because suddenly i realise that... for the first time.... like ever... i'm going to miss reunion dinner...


=(



even all "reunion" dinners/lunch here is not going to make up for it... i mean... whats the point of it without the actual "reunion" ?? hmmm... ahh well more excuse to fei-low ship ... gluttony madness tomorrow...

Hello... Goodbye

This just to say i'm alive and.. not so well..

i've put some things behind me in 2008... some of which literally... they say u lose some and gain some... i've lost 100pounds worth of stuff, gained a virus.. hardly fair trade ... =/

I've been bumming most of my holidays, and now am going to face the oncoming storm of deadlines, books, notes, and... that it i think...

i'll get back once i get to the other side of the storm.


or if i find something amusing to say...


Like how i look like mason each day i don't get a hair cut... actually thats pretty cool... Mason how do you style your hair ?


.. and you know you're crazy when you're talking to your dog... which is thousands of miles away and worse when your hair is starting to look like his...

He looks to the left, looks to the right ..

=(

feels rather lonely.. isolated for the first time today.. on a saturday which i woke up rather like the game i was playing the night before (great zombie fraggin session andrew and zeal *thumbs up*)... zombified.. then again the zombies in the game ran pretty fast.. faster than i could even run in real life.. hmm how realistic is that.. or im just running too slow now..

Today the official "bum" day that traditionally kicks off my holidays.. feels rather lonely in truth.. except for invitations in indulge in more alchol .. =/ mehh... got to take care of my liver okay.. but thanks for the invitations anyway lads.

stuck in my flat the whooole day... oven cooked fish and chips the meal of the day.. and somehow i managed to make something microwavable melt in the microwave... =/ (sorry fie.. there's a casualty in a form of a plastic bowl..) at this rate.. fie won't have a flat to come back to in 3 weeks time .. 0__0

thoughts.. things i could do..

1) take up the gym membership offer till end of jan.. hmm i do have to have to improve my fitness ie: managed 1 run down the flank without pulling any muscles or collaspe into a heap at the slightest contact lol.

2) shopping.. not such a good idea esp in the point of the finance ministry back home.. i've already broke my budget this month and in danger of breaking next without even being in the next month yet .. uh.. im managing to do things seemingly impossible isn't it ? (bar the the melted microwavable bowl.. was pretty baffling)

things is tho.. i got quite a number of things i could get myself preoccupied to do during the holidays.. even assignments, reading (not.. although it would be ideal.. what a achievement that would be .. to finish textbooks.. wow.. a distant dream.. )

i guess the thing is the fact that... im here...

all the merry folks around me are somewhere else ... far across the oceans ... (this is an attempt to make my "friends" feel guilty for leaving me all alone here... lol ! XD i kid kid... )

plus the creature "seasonal depression" ever waiting in the shadows smacking its lips waiting to pounce on its victim which looks ever more vulnerable now...

BUT NO!

i shall not give in to self-pity !! (is this where the dramatic, touching WW2-equed background music cues right?? RIGHT ??? )

I miss ya folks! (Everyone of course!)

i can't even play regular football esp when everyone is gone for the holidays.. maaan... and futsal does not exist here.. (well it barely is technically, but there is no public futsal venues that i know of) Five a side sucks!!

argh... good thing i have a ticket in my hands now... hmmm... it reads...

"Arsenal vs Liverpool"

Oh well...

=P


Come on ARSENAL!



*leaves the room to put out the fire in the kitchen (sorry fie =P )*

Don't you just wish public service annoucments are like that in Malaysia? Or is there a conspiracy to reduce the mat rempit population? =P ( since we have motorcyclist campaigns instead)

Carling Cup - Arsenal v Wigan 3-0

The Emirates Stadium at Ashburton Groove


Inside the Stadium at Half-time 1-0 up

* = Video


Walked across the bridge* along with the rest of the Red Army towards the Emirates Stadium*. The atmosphere was picking up with a sense of anticipation. The doom and gloom from last week were all but dispel during weekend. Thanks to Man Utd the stadium was buzzing all over again, a notable difference to last week's Champions League game to Fenerbache though the attendance today was more than a thousand less that last week's midweek game.


As we stepped into the stadium*, the game was about to start the crowd was buzzing. This was the carling cup, hence less pressure and an opportunity to see the young gunners play and boy they did not disappoint.


There were songs, there were cheers, there was brilliant football all around.


Wigan did trouble us with their threats down our left giving Gibbs a handful at times. De Ridder had pace and skill and at one point dribbled past 3 players to get on goal. However the young gunners got their first goal when Jack Wilshere played a pass Cesc would be proud of to Jay Simpson who outpace and outmuscle the Wigan defender on him to toe poke into the net. 1-0 to the Arsenal.


After the break, Wigan began to up the pressure but soon found themselves 2 goals down after a blistering counter attack from a ball cleared from defense played very well to Vela on the left wing who burned his marker with his pace on toward the goal before squaring the ball to Simpson who rocketed it into the net*. The Stadium erupted and choruses began.


The 3rd goal took the whole stadium by surprise when it went in. There was a resounding "ooohh" around the stadium when the replay was screened. What an audacious chip. A goal that made all the time, money and effort to get to the stadium worth it all. You would pay more than that to see a goal like that. What a gem we've got in our hands.


The Stadium was buzzing, the good times are back songs going round the stadium, the atmosphere was great, Mexican waves and stamps shook the stadium. It was immense.

Final Whistle, what a spectacle the young gunners have given us. Makes you proud to be a gooner the joy at the football played at times, just brilliant.

Went by the Armoury and picked up a new jersey too =D

Thought about Carlos Vela at the back but in the end it had to be.. Robin Van Persi =D mayb next time.. =P

The jersey was 25% off but came around the same after adding the name, number and patch. All done at the Emirates made it extra special plus i got an Arsenal hanger XD , you should have seen my eyes light up when the guy asked me if i wanted the hanger... (*gasp* you mean... i can have it ?? the hanger from Emirates!??*cough* oh yeah ok put it in...) Hah! no Arsenal shirt from any Nike store back in Malaysia will even give a hanger let alone have this hehe =P

The Match Day Programme which had the picture of Nasri and Cesc after his (Nasri) brilliant goal against Man Utd while 2-0 up hehehe. And my Arsenal membership card holder.

What a night...
