What a Crappy Nite..
December 26th, 2006 by whatdayisittoday

Hi all..

Since I work at night nowadays, I normally miss my EPL matches.. I
know, I know.. Waste of time, 22 men chasing 1 ball, (and my dad’s fav)
It’s all a scam!, etc.. But the point is, that’s all that I’d really like
to watch on the telly nowadays..

Well, the Reds lost away (Again!!) tonite, but on a positive note they
actually created a lot of chances.. I have Soccernet’s GameCast on all
night as the folks down at the Beer Garden were watching the MU game,
speaking of which, Ronaldo scored a brace, and there goes my Yahoo
Fantasy league rankings, as I thought he was way overpriced and
overhyped.. * looking at the floor*

Credit to Fergie, the boy can really play, ok..

The thing is that the Beer Garden is manned by a Siamese/Kelantanese
guy who really looks like a ‘gedebe’ (not to be confused gedebab, which
is what I call my little boy..) or a gangster. This guy drinks too many
Buds and is a Dunhill chain smoker, and appears to be your
run-of-the-mill sports junkie..

So the first time I went to the place a couple of weeks back, it was
sharp at 11.00 pm, I was hyped up with anticipation of high-octane EPL
action on the bigscreen with the volume cranked up to ear-bleeding
levels.. Guess what?

There he was, the Bud sipping specimen of the male specie, watching - A BOLLYWOOD TEAR-JERKER!!

Oh My God..

I nearly bled kicking the bar stool..

Well no offense to all you Hindustani movie lover out there, but on a Saturday Nite, in a bar? Not funny.

Essien’s own goal? FUNNNEEEE.. (I just HAD to say that out..)

You know what’s funny? It’s the fact that you expect to find all your
mates by googling them.. And by thinking that you’re gonna send that
e-mail once you’ve find them (if ever..), or ask them out for a drink..

DId a Friendster search on my primary school mates, and it struck me
that I don’t remember any of them.. I actually did bump into a couple
of my secondary school mates once in a while, and it was so, so
convenient to just forget them and to re’lose contact’, to borrow a
favourite phrase.. It hits me that the feeling was mutual as I go to
the same open houses every year, and I hang out with the same crowd all
the time..

My theory is that those who are not within your daily domain, will not
get into it, as how those e-mails in your Outlook archives that you
treasure so much are really bytes of crap in the Exchange Server
waiting to be purged out, and since you don’t remember what they are
about anyway, it’s better for you to save your company’s disk space by
clearing your inbox and get that nagging Admin ‘You have exceeded disk
space’ message out of the way..

To know whether something is useful or not, try this personal tip:

1. Close your eyes
2. Ask yourself whether would your life be affected in any way if you lose that thing or not
- Don’t be complicated, be reasonable and you’ll definitely have a better, clutter free life..

(Now this works while shopping as well, but do it BEFORE you purchase something.. and NO, your virginity is not included..)

More of the same tomorrow as I have work to do..
