that's it. the blues are back 2 back champions of EPL. didn't reali accept the fact initially, but had to accept it anyways. 3-0. resounding thrashing.

in the end, it appeared that united's defence was lethargic in handling the swift forward drives of Drogba n Co. no wonder that Edwin van der Sar couldn't do anything to keep a clean sheet.

now that man utd had lost this, they have 79 points from 36 games. liverpool, who defeated aston villa 3-1 on the same day as the chelsea-man u encounter, are level on points but played 1 more match. it's unlikely that man utd will lose their 2nd spot unless they do not get the max 3 points against boro tomorrow. but still, there's a mathematical possibility that pool will overtake man utd for that automatic champions league position.

well, my prediction was way off, i admit. look at the responses in the taggie, all criticising my so-called "accurate" prediction. fine. the blues are just lucky that the red devils did not perform up to standard. else a draw might be likely.

blues fans, don't flame me after reading tis. but sorry to say, in my opinion, man utd will spoil chelsea's title celebrations at stamford bridge tmr. my prediction is 2-1 in favour of man utd.

it will be a close game, no doubt. both teams, in my opinion, have equally strong squads, though blues fans may argue their squad has greater depth. an intensive battle for possession likely in the midfield.

past track records don't mean anything. man utd may hav won only once in the past seven visits to stamford bridge, but at the end of the day, the performance on actual day matters most.

in fact, man utd has 1 week's rest time as they weren't involved in any EPL match the previous weekend. chelsea, on the other hand, was bruised by a fighting liverpool in the FA cup semis. that dented their hopes of a double tis season, having just the Premiership to play for. the blues would certainly want to unleash their fury over that defeat on the red devils. but their players are not as well-rested compared to their united counterparts, and trust me, the fitness level of players makes a huge difference when it comes to performance.

in conclusion, though the blues might hav the psychological edge over united in terms of track record, my intuition tells me that the premiership race is not over as yet. united may have a goal difference which is 12 worse than chelsea, but u hav seen them rising to the occasion against strong teams. remember, their earlier encounter at old trafford ended 1-0 in united's favour.

jus a quick update here~

letters from would-be penpals started streaming in from last friday after i wrote in to pen-pal section in teens mag. out of the seven i'd received so far, onli replied to one. will be replying to two others tmr nite. btw, u might think i'm despo. but the fact is, i reali need someone whom i can confide in.

tue's inequalities timed practice was sort of a disaster. 80% chance fail de. haiz. the questions were pretty different from the tutorial qns, to be honest.

then tdy got AVA exco interview after sch. i was the last interviewee. wanted the position of vice-president but felt that i didn't hav the capability to lead the rest. told the exco members i'd rather giv someone else the opportunity.

kayz, got lots of stuff to rush now. 2 GP commentaries as usual, and research on articles related to media's influence on children. all these within the space of less than 3 hrs. will be back during the weekend~

loitering in sch now cuz it's stil raining cats n dogs. just finished printing geog notes for tmr's lecture.

have got a bad feeling abt wad's gonna happen 2 weeks from now. a whole slew of tests for EVERY subject. haiz. think i might not do well. the PI and GPP are already 2 tough nuts to crack.

there was tis class bonding session during the 1.5 hr lunch break tdy. from what i observed, there seemed to be 2 distinct groups. haiz. more time needed i guess.

will be reali reali busy in the upcoming weeks, so any entry i make will oso be short n sweet. cos i reali don't hav tat much free time nowadays. sorry readers. promise u the content will be better come the june hols.

miss johnson's comments today reali hit the nail on the head, i believe. from her debrief after the rather unsuccessful family day, i can tell tat she isn't pleased wif some of the ppl who didn't do their part in cleaning up between 11.30 and 12.30. then again, the location of our dodgeball shld hav been outside the classroom. why didn't any1 bother to take note of tat, she pointed out. she also wanted us to do a personal reflection report on the happenings today.

in short, she's indirectly driving home the message tat we lack class spirit. i guess the rest know as well. so what can be done t0 awaken this spirit? no idea. to me the class looks as detached as it was 3-4 weeks back, when 2nd intake classes first started. though i can mix around wif virtually anybody, i reali got to tread the line carefully so as not to offend any1.

went to hougang point for hot plate black pepper pork rice after family day. had a reali strong desire for it. added an extra bowl of rice for 50 cents. $3.50 was more than worthwhile. and here i am back home. swimming lesson later? go lors, no big deal. missed so many weeks of lessons le.

okay, time for some online gaming. tata~

just completed the 2 news commentaries. kinda substandard though. haiz. despite my efforts to clear the workload, apparently there's too much stuff to cope wif. *checks handbook* 9 tasks to be completed within tis week and the next. PI, GPP for PW. commentaries n essay plan for GP. mind-map for Geog. tutorials for Math, Phy, Econs. damn stressed sia.

perhaps the harmonica concert tmr nite is the onli time where i can calm down n pay close attn to the soothing music. even so, the day after sure damn busy as well. AJ's family day. some more it's on a sat.

raining again. sian 1/2. 80% of the time when i go back from sch sure will rain de. diao. time to continue working on PI.

no one likes to be sick. i'm no exception. had to see the family doctor twice in three days. recurrence of gastric problem. haiz. missed xinmin sec's homecoming as a result, and also monday's lessons. not that i love lessons, but the hectic schedule in AJ meant that for every 1 school day i missed, at least 2-3 days need to be devoted just to catch up on the work.

back in operational mode today. well not really. was suffering during the geog lecture after lunch. not becos of the air-con in LT1, but rather sharp pains in the chest area. upset stomach again. probably the food i'd consumed before the lesson didn't agree wif my stomach. haiz. fortunately everything was back to normal after a rest.

reached home slightly after eight. was involved in ava support for harmonica rehearsal. it seems she's pulling a distance away from me. haiz. maybe she thinks i'm stalking her? never mind, time will tell my true intentions. so i went back with two of my seniors, desmond and evelyn. coincidentally, they were also taking service 72. realised they were nice ppl too. had quite abit to talk about on the ride back.

back to the academic side. maths timed practice on inequalities tmr (which should be a breeze). two news commentaries as usual for thurs, one on globalisation (article on 12 apr) and the other on any topic. also the groupwork essay on "newspaper is the medium just for the dissemination of information". plus checking of PI on fri. physics tut on kinematics by next mon. indeed, lots of stuff to catch up sia. the final harmonica rehearsal tmr means i'll end late again. haiz. time constraints. driving me crazy.

hais. wonder wad's wrong wif myself. last nite i was stil alright, bt tis mornin woke up wif a reali terrible gastric problem. so end up didn't go back to xinmin sec's homecoming. now i'm onli feeling slightly better after visitin' the doctor. abit faint-ish stil. no appetite for meals too.

there're lots of work to catch up in sch. bt my current condition don't permit me 2 work on anything in particular.

tink i shld go catch a good rest so tat tmr i'll be more energised. nitez all~

relieved. the geog presentation was pretty much of a breeze. didn't expect it to proceed so smoothly though. geog test was not as hard as i had initially feared to be too. things are starting 2 take a turn 4 the better.

the 4 GP assignments still weigh heavily on my mind, but now i'm in a much better mood 2 work on them. just a pity tat i left them all at home. haiz.

*looks out of window* sian. raining liao. doesn't matter. staying back in sch until 6+ anyways.

couldn't help bt comment abt ytd afternoon's pe session. it was as if all the guys were put thru an hour in the torture chamber. u may tink i'm exaggerating too much. but the reality is, the lesson reali pushed our limits to the max. 2.4km run in 13 min, a rather impossible target 4 myself. 21 chin-ups (i onli did 18). thigh exercises. endurance stuffs. and 12 diamond push-ups. tat's exactly hw much we did. resembles military camp life huh?

not lookin fwd 2 tmr's session. but guess i've 2 start gettin used 2 the rigorous physical style in AJ.

meanwhile, last night went to hougang point 2 buy new pair of track shoes. eventually settled on new balance. 69 bucks. reasonable price 4 a high-end brand.

once i end off tis entry, need 2 study 4 geog test, and following tat the presentation. aft sch will b providing backstage support for harmonica band's rehearsal, which onli ends at abt 6. there're 4 GP assignments 2 b done by tmr. i couldn't b bothered at all though. just chiong everything tonite lor.

haiz. these dayz i've been findin it reali diff 2 focus on every single lesson. even math. frankly speakin, the teachers r wonderful. buden again, like 1 of my PE teachers said: ur physically here but the soul is driftin away 2 a faraway place.

been thinkin abt hw much i'd hv lvl in maple or pangya had i not attended sch. thinkin abt y time is slowin down 2 a crawl. n thinkin abt y the workload neva seems 2 clear at all. more precisely, u can say i'm just daydreamin thru the lessons, unless u give me somethin to do. then mayb i'll be able to concentrate. oh well.

the passion i once hv abt studies is alr evaporated in mid-air. the standards are reali high here and it'll be a tall order 2 catch up wif wad u hv missed. plus the reality of life. rejection. the PI draft, which i chiong on the night of deadline, was, (self-confessed) a disaster of the 1st magnitude. simply couldn't get the ideas flowin. it was no wonder that the draft onli managed AE (approachin expectations), the lowest band possible. workin last minute just didn't do the trick.

haiz. reali concerned wif lotsa stuff, apart from math tutorial, which shld be a breeze, the geog presentation n geog test tmr. several GP assignments tat hv 2 be done by thurs. good fri is a holiday. so? there's xinmin sec's homecoming the day aft. not to forget re-doing the PI, and AJ's family day is on the followin sat.

sian. y is the agenda 4 a fortnight alr so packed. reali need more rest in the form of com games. but time doesn't permit me to do so. u can say tat i'm gettin more n more xin1 hui1 yi4 leng3 abt wad's happenin ard me nowadays. fine. the fact is, i dun reali care much either. i just wana get on wif my life. my friends are an invaluable resource. but i hv problems getting along wif some of them. yups. u heard me. some. but since the nxt 2 yrs will be spent wif tis same grp of ppl, i guess i shld start socialising liao.

okie, i need to go for physics lecture on forces le. tata~

the PE lesson tis morning damn strenous sia. we did lots of chin-ups. 20 to be exact. now both my hands kena blisters liao. haiz. then after that run 2 rounds in 4 mins. checked in last at 3 min 58 sec. i know i've to practice for NAPFA asap, but too many academic stuff to work on at tis period. though the schedule isn't tat packed, but somehow time management fails me.

top priority now is to complete PI for project work by 12 midnite, 8/4. ideas mostly in place le. but too lazy to start typing it in. tmr i'll be attending the jap crash course thingy frm 5-7pm, so most likely hav to start work tonight. but not b4 a few rounds of pangya. =)

less interested in maple now then before. cuz i dun hav enough time to train. looking for something new, and found it in pangya, the virtual online golf game.

nvr heard of it? just go to http://www.pangyasea.com to find out more! it's many times more addictive than maple, trust me. the animation rocks, the gameplay's cool, and most importantly, the relaxing virtual environment helps me de-stress in a big way after 1 whole day of work. ^_^
