Clash of the Titans!!!
It's the match of the year again between 2 exciting teams in the Premiership Manchester United VS Arsenal. The match ended with manchester winning the match by 2-0with Ruad and Ronney scoring it. It was an entertaining match, but too bad i was not there to enjoy it. Guess i am going to get some match tickets soon for the next few games. Before the match there was a protest by the fans of manchester united against the sale of united and they make a scene in the megastore that it had to be closed for the day and it was quite choaotic but nobody was arrested.
I had a late night dinner at about 9pm yesterday and finish eating at around 1am. Guess i really have to stop eating so much at nite as i thin i might be gaining weight damm...lol. Guess need to do some strenuous workout to burn off all the extra calories.

BURIED!!!HELP!!!
Well, people you must be thinking i'm i stuck in an mudslide or trapped somewhere...well the answer is very obvious i'm being buried under my assignments from school from now on. I have to hand in my propsal for my dissertation on the 1st November which is reaching soon and i am still working to get the best piece out to get good mars although it's only a miserable 5% out of the whole 100% but still it's a lot even if it's 1%...it will make a lot of difference.
I went shopping today for a break away from the books and bought a jacket and 2 t-shirt. When i reach home and take a good look at the jacket again i decided to make a change again this week as i think the colour doesn't suit me at all so have to make the exchange again...The manchester eye is finally finish and up and running.I will post the pictures on the web soon once i get it.
Had a conversation with terrence,wanling, jana and edmund using SKYPE which is very good as we had a conference and a video feed showing only me and edmund hahaha..but guess edmund was a bit camera shy at first lolx. It was fun having a conversation like this as it reminds me of the good old times back in singapore having confrence call over the phone.
I checked my downloading of the movies i downloaded and man it was quite clear although it's not cinema quality but its still worth it. Can't complain since can watch it at home hahaha...Ok now got to finish my report, back to work...
It ws a boring weekend for me on saturday, woke up at 12pm then got a call from my friend to go to Trafford Centre, upon reaching there the queeue towards the carpark was damm long, we waited in the car for about close to 3 hours. It was all because of the stupid Rubgy people who parked all their cars there and slowing down the traffic, anyway its quite far from Old Trafford which was the venue for the game no idea why these bunch of $%&*? people want to park here just because it's free parking to hell with it man. Rugby people in UK are known to be very rowdy always swearing and cursing like nobody business. Don't they know that they are just a bunch of wankers...lol...no brains wan leh...i heard from my friend that while watching the match they were so hard up for beer that the cups at old trafford ran out and they decided to use other people cups...so you can see how desperate they are to get themselves drunk during the game. Anyway enough of the blabbering about them, finally got a parking space and went window shopping before deciding to watch a movie but damm...again there was a long queeue for the movie also...conclusion i think i will never come to trafford centre again...anyway it's my 5th time here since 1st year in manchester.
After the boring day went to my firned palce to try out some new PS2 games...tried out the new game burnout and boy was it fun...will want to get that when i get home to singapore. The next day i went to town to meet a couple of my friends and talk for the whole afternooon before going back and have some sizchuan dish which edmund cook and boy was it hot n spicy...later i continued watching my jap drama (with love), and it was touching even though its the 3rd time i watched it. I like the music once in a blue moon but too bad i didn't bring the cds here...anyway i be signing off from here. Oh yeah one thing i forget to mentioned that manchester is going to have something which is similar to the london eye and that will proved to be spectacular maybe???
It's the time of the year where the weather gets cold, looks like it is really going to be a cold and early winter if the weather continues like this with temperature dropping to now 8 degrees at nite. I was quite pissed with my supervisor tis week who is going to be in-charge of my dissertation but damm...she doesnt even want to look at a draft i did as she said she doesn't do this kind of thing...wats this suppose to mean. A supervisor should try to help out if the student needed help, but anyway i got no choice but to stick to her as she is the only one who knows the topic i am doing on...I dun blame the rest of the lecturer who rejected me as a lot of them including my classmates do not know what RFID is??? Looks like this might be good as i think i will be the first person to write a dissertation on this topic which give me an advantage also...Hopefully i can work this out by myself.
It's another few more weeks before i have my first exam which is an open book so hopefully i will be able to do well in it as there is a lot of people saying it is not going to be easy...anyway i will do my best no matter what. It going to be christmas soon and i will have to get some gifts for my friends in Singapore as there might be a sale soon so hopefully i can get something for them. I also want to catch a few shows as i have not been going out for a long time since the day i was sick.
They are as follows:
1)White Chicks
2)Resident Evil:Apocalypse
3)Wimbeldon
4)Man on Fire
5)Shark Tale
6)The Incredibles
Looks like a long list eh...well will take some time to finish watching it...
The fact about the shows released in the cinemas here is damm slow compared to back home. I can't imagined the movie AVP is now being released only...hiaz...Just finished watching the series 24 and all i can say is i give my thumbs up as one of the best real time series ever made concentrating on the life of the President of the United States and an director of Counter Terrorist Unit(CTU) Jack Bauer.I garuntee that anyone who have the chance to watch this show must catch it casue i think channel 5 is now showing but late nights i think.YOu will not regret it especially for those who like suspense and action.
Damm missed the performance of Diana Krall as i could not find anyone to go so no point me going for it as it might be boring for me to go there alone compared to avril lavugne concert. Anyway my friend is going there so hopefully they will take some nice picture if they did bring a camera there.
Made plans to go to York on the 29th of October for 1 nite only and be back just in time for Halloween Party which I've been waiting for...Guess it will be the last big party i ever go...lolx.Oh yeah i need to get my railcard done before the trip to qualify for student price...
Again as usual it was a windy day in manchester, I went to town to get a haircut just for a trim and boy it was good as i change my hairstyle once again...Later went to a french crepe to have a light meal there as it was one of my favorite place in manchester...Soon i got home and was browsing through the net when i found that my friend hongda he had a blog which had a link to the honda(UK) website...what can i say about this comercial which they took about 606 takes for the whole thing and boy it sure needed lots of patience and tolerance as things might not always go your way but this comercial was pure genius done with precession. I give it a 10 star rating as it amaze me with the kind of parts used for the comercial...GO on and view it and i'm sure you will be amazed...Once again thanks hongda for putting this link on ur blog.

I went to see the show Sky Captain and the World of tomorrow with my friend, what can i say abt this film...well it's a big budget film involving lots of digital but sad to say i just give it a 3 star rating as it was not fantastic as it should be...dissapointed anyway went home after that and cook myself some salad and dice up chicken for dinner...later went to my friend place to chill out and play some PS2 games...boy i misssed my PS2 in singapore...I was there till 5+am before i got back to my flat...
