Christmas is doing a little something extra for someone .

I totally agree with this. It's not about the money , how expensive the gift is but I think is the thoughts that counts, the heart and effort put in it. alright , Christmas is just 2 days away and what is expected this Christmas ?
Christmas Eve is tmr.

Western dinner at Roy's place. I'm having turkey, pork knuckles, and ham on Christmas Eve for dinner and without to say, our latest purchase Vineyard Peach Liqueur.

Sound delicious but I''ll be back with pictures. HAHA..

Christmas Day is still unsure of the programme. Might stay at home, might go soak into the festive season, You never know. (:

Gambling

Soccer betting is actually not form of gambling , I sure say , it's make the match more exciting and nail biting . I started off as a young supporter of Manchester United and back then , my player was David Beckham , trying to curve free kicks like him , pin point back till Rooney came in and I wanted to score goals . HAHA..
Of course betting is not good , is a form of gambling , that's what many people will define it as ... but if you're down to earth and have enough cash , thn it's okay to gamble once in awhile but if you're broke and wants gambling to give you a shot of cash , normally , 10% success rate.

" Sometimes you win big , sometimes you win small but don't forget what you lost behind. "

This New Year break definitely going to slow down my pace for sure . HAHA .. take a breather , put everything aside , enjoy life . HAHA..

Lucky in Disguise ?

Now , if people who buy Singapore Pools for soccer bet , there are different bet types and different match no and today, something lucky happened to me ?

I was at home looking at the odds on Singapore Pools website and thought of buying Lazio winning Udinese. but the payout was terrible so I thought I try the total goals , so I went to did a check and realise that encounter between them total goals are about 4goals , which mean when the match ends , the scoreline adds up to 4 goals like 2-2 or 3-1 .
so I shaded the betting slip then for no reason I didn't realise I shaded the 5 goals . I happily went to Singapore Pools and bought the bet and didn't check the ticket and I thought I bet $5 on it cause the payout was quite high. Thn when the match started at 07.30 , I was busy shopping with Roy and Co. , so didn't bother to check the score and at about 9, I check the scoreline and thn it was 2-2 and it was around 80min , so I took out the ticket and see !! ...............
I was like : " WHAT THE FUCK ? 5 GOALS ???!!!?? "
So I thought okayy , game over and at 10pm, I took out and check the score again , 3-2 , a own goal from the Udinese in the 84th minute ...
I was .. : " SHIT ! No Joke ! "
So I took out the betting ticket and double check ,

" Lazio Vs Udinese
Total Goals- 5 goals
(The amount I bet) @ (the payout) "

correct ! but now , I didn't take note how much I bet on it , and I run again , I bet more than $5 actually !! HAHAHAHAHA.. I was laughing at myself like how the hell did it happen ? but who cares , collect money . :P

maybe it's was lucky cause it's 19th ? something in return . but it doesn't matter .
letting go doesn't mean giving up , but rather accepting that there are things that cannot be.

People always ask me : " How are you doing ? "
so are they asking about my education ? my work ? or my health ?

when people start talking about education , I just don't like to be around them , cause does it matter ? Are you a straight A's ? or a failure ?

I believe everyone success and fail at certain parts of their life . It's a matter of getting up and become better but sometimes there is always a alternative, inside of getting up , you can crawl and still make it , in the harder way .

today , had programming , hate it la... total suck-ness .
So I was asking one of my pinoy dude ,
Me: " How much does a programmer earns ? "
Dude : " alot ? "
Me: "I rather be the one paying the programmer... " HAHA..

Did a research in the net , not sure is valid not , but a freelance earns about $30 an hour depends on situation and design specs ...
Full time gets about 50k a year ?
Look , Mr Mark Zukerberg earn billions... but how lucky can you be ?
I mean , if one job pays you so much money but you don't enjoy doing it , what's the use ?

Alright , back to reality ... work tmr at Causeway Point , taxi survey. thn Saturday night at Night Safari , here I come monkeys. (:

It's Wednesday and school ends as early as 11am . run errand in the morning , my POSB debit card has problem using the Masters so drop by the bank and terminate the current card and had a new card allocated back to me . 10mins and everything was solved , faster then Singapore Pools sia . HEHE..

Half the week is gone , half the month is also gone . what's with this week ?

Monday had a bad morning , couldn't get up on time for networking lectures thanks to that 6soccer matches marathon at Roy's place . imagine watching soccer from 7.30pm to the next morning 6am .... it's like 'traveling around Europe' from Italy to England to Germany and Spain. Roy's cousin was there too , KX. HAHA..

Tuesday had test , laws & ethnics . Everyone who panicking and having problem memorising the laws and all and when I open the pdf file, I thought there was nothing to study or even memorise.... so spend about an hour looking through it.

Today also test , networking , 50 multiple choice and I screw it up . HAHA. failed like 17 out of 50 which converts to 34%.... die ah.. out of 7 modules , 2 problematics....

Tmr and Friday are expected to be slacking day bah .. really ain't got the mood. HEHE

I came across this quote on the net ,

kind words do not cost much , they never blister the tongue or lips . They make other people good natured. They also produce their own image on men's souls and a beautiful image it is.

I sometimes use harsh words on people , I insult them and all but these insults are not directly on them or personal stuff. I apologises to those who think it's unacceptable.
I know these two Philippines brothers , they were nice people and yet I always disturb them and have fun but at the end of the day , we always laugh it off and knocked it off with a hand shake.

Life should be this way , no grudges and doubts unless if you screw up at some stuff and then you make the people lost the trust so you got to gain it back again if you want to be like before .

Alright , Christmas is knocking on the door , 2011 is on it's way . What are you going to do ?

New Year resolution ? HAHAHA.. committment is hard to meet if it doesn't involved a human . HAHA.. I going to start handling my finanical in the year 2011 .

risk comes from not knowing what you are doing .

today,

my Filipino friend ask me : " why take the risk ? "

risk comes from not knowing what is going to happen , you don't know the result , the outcome there is no anticipation but sometimes it's just worth the risk . the excitement , the thrill. and of course , the satisfaction after knowing the outcome , the result .

I did something stupid today. HAHA.. I don't know whyy my friends think it was a great achievement , a good step .

You dudes felt my heartbeat uhs, like a racing car racing down the street . HAHA. right Gene ?

For the first time , I ask someone to be my friend through the use of letter writing , seem quite old fashion and old school but it did relieve the stress and pressure . I'm not hoping too much though but definitely waiting ... (:

rooted to the ground and dumbfolded whenever your presence is there .

twice cutting each other path but dare not look into the eyes .

maybe it can only stays as a dream , you only get to see it when you're sleeping . when your eyes is close and your mind is at rest .

almost half the week is gone and of course , week 09 is coming which mean school is ending soon , I mean term break then Christmas is here . (:

You better watch out , you better watch ,

Jon a than is coming to town :P

It's so hard to say I'm fine , cause deep inside I'm sad and I have to pretend I'm okayy , so I smile and hold back the tears , cause from what I see , you're doing fine without me.

there's a always a start for everything right? So why not make it now? If kena reject, its okay lah, at least you tried and did not give up without trying. The main point is, you're catching the girl of your dreams. not your dreams, but the girl youve been stalking for almost awhile. It must be worth the effort right?
