Paganello

31 03 2008

I am just overwhelmed by the whole Paga experience. It is really a massive party. And I am totally in love with it. Like Ultimate at the highest level. Just to BE there. I was SO in awe. Not to mention that Simon Moore was the ‘captain’ of our team. And he’s supposed to be a UK legend. Like he’s the coach for the GB opens team for Vancouver this year. Like HOW FREAKING AWESOME was that. And it was a really learning experience, coz as a coach, he doesn’t order around. And he doesn’t say much either. But when he says something, its like enlightenment! *flashing light bulbs* So yah, it was really cool, although I was surprised that he lives/works in Luxembourg (dang those Luxembourgers are lucky) and coaches a team long distance. And really, just words from wisdom comes from his mouth. Although I have to say, my team (Ultimate deLux) didn’t do that well, only won 3 out of 10 games, and twice it was a win against the same team (American Gladiators). Of course I didn’t to get to play any like high high level games, but I think, besides the Saturday games, it was pretty good. Somehow I managed to survive, considering the only day where we had a moderately early was on Thursday night. Friday was until 2. Saturday was at least 2 or 3am. (Okay Friday, Saturday and Sunday games were on average 10am or later, so not too bad.) Sunday was at least 4.30am when I slept. And hurray 8.30am game! Haha. I made it for that game though. I did hear though, that someone was lying on the sand when my team got to the pitch. So yah. Pretty serious partying going on. I still scored once in the last game though! Despite being so sleepy, and I am pretty sure alcohol was still going through my veins. Although the lack of sleep DID affect something and I did a couple of bad bad drops/passes. And I think it was such a learning experience for me. Coz playing through some of the MOST HORRIBLE weather ever. Like freezing cold rain. And just to know that you have to bring it no matter how shit the last game was. Or how crappy cold your fingers and toes were. And watching the finals is just really cool. I am glad the Austrian juniors won. Somehow, the Austrian adults are too laid back but those kids, are REALLY good. I bet they can beat any team at SG opens.  I can’t say anything more about Paga. Except that I want to go back to Paga again. And I mean I really really WANT to go Paga again. Even if it means flying to Rimini from Sg. I will make it there. Somehow. Paga paga paga….  





Bizarre things going on.

19 03 2008

What can I say. Strange things are afloat. Unexplainable things which lodge into this tight corner in your hypothalamus and refuses to get out. And it stays there churning through those gray neurons in the neocortex. And causes these lumps of wondering and apprehensive emotions to leap out from the obscure parts of your head. What can I say. I had some pretty awkward thing said to me today. I chose to ignore it. Was that the right and sensible thing to do? Or was it meant to be noticed? Mind you, this probably went straight into my permanent memory and is, well, permanent now. No erasing of it. So what was I supposed to make of it? Jump up to the stars and cheer in joy? Or infer some unknown deep dark thought that should NOT have surfaced at all. Or just fake innocence and pretend words were not said or mentioned. 

All I want now is. Moldy Peaches. 

We all become important when we realize our goal

Should be to figure out our role within the context of the whole

And yeah, rock and roll is fun, but if you ever hear someone

Say you are huge, look at the moon, look at the stars, look at the sun

Look at the ocean and the desert and the mountains and the sky

 

And maybe a pair of good headphones too.
And a plane ticket back home to sort things out.





奇怪的感決

19 03 2008

因為angmoh不能明白才要費時間打中文字。剛剛同美國和瑞典同學談話。瑞典同學叫rasmus,跟音樂的rasmus一樣。重點的是他有箇部落格,做了簡單的翻意後就發現對angmoh來說,見到亞洲人給的是異國情調。真的給我一點害怕感。知道是100﹪亞州人可是angmoh看到我真的有那種新奇的感覺嗎?我認為我跟angmohs不太不同。不用說,身為ACJC的學生就是香蕉,外表華人,內是外國人。我真的不明白為什麼angmohs認為亞州有異國情調。而我真的覺的我心裡,到了最後,我都不能把我當成angmoh,因為就算我有多麼外國想法,外表就騙不了自己。在外國這麼久,還不能把這裡當做家。有了新朋友可是還覺的缺了點什麼。有時我只想看到另一個亞洲人。喜歡歐洲可還是比較喜歡新加坡。之少在路上不會給別人一種異國情調。





Brownies!

19 03 2008

Gooey chewy fudgy brownies. Awesome stuff. Thank you Monika for Brownie Mix and Thank you Kevin for bring them to Monika and thank you Lizzy for the egg that made up part of the brownie batter. I haven’t had brownies in ages, so that was super nice. Did I mention that I made soy sauce chicken? Mummy would be so proud of me, coz they actually taste pretty awesome and like the ones she makes.I should stop ranting about food.And if you want to learn Swedish, look here!  And no it has nothing to do with the band.





My computer is back and well

18 03 2008

HURRAY! Thats all I can say. Thank goodness it was done so nice and quick. Its good that I have a Mac I guess, higher service experts to faulty computer ratios. Anyway, Paganello in 2 days. I am EXCITED.  





Click-click-click

14 03 2008

So my dear Cow-Mac-Book-Pro succumbed to the clicks. The left fan is officially kaputt. Really. It totally STOPPED spinning. It shows up as 0rpm on my fan control. And so my computer is boiling ay 62deg. Which is bad. Coz 62deg is on the left side on the hard disk side. I will be amazed if nothing else goes wrong soon if I continue like this. And to think I was quite happy in lecture coz I thought it just ‘repaired’ itself from the clicks coz I couldn’t hear anything. Looks like I have to go to the shop tomorrow. What a pain. And goodness what I have to pay just to get it repaired. Die. Dear Reader (If there are any in the 1st place.) I might not be able to update in a long while. So long, Farewell, Auf wiedersehen, Good Bye! 





Chocolate! Schokolade!

13 03 2008

I am going to Brussels! After Rimini, to Milan (only pit stop lah), to Bergamo, then flight to Brussels and probably Bruges and Paris! Totally exciting but I am broke. 我又跟lizzy一起旅行了。我快要发疯了。她气死我了。不想具备旅行路途就不要去把。弄到我迟了订机票,要搭晚上8点班机。我订好机票后想通知她一声我的班机这么晚,她就没有理由就生我的气。是她连累我才回这样,她还要so pissed off。我真的好想在路程中突然消失,让她不知如何才好。没了我她真的不能踏出Innsbruck一脚的。





The Great Firewall of Rössl

11 03 2008

So what is the  point of paying 205 euros for a double room in Austria that is supposed to include everything. This silly place has absolutely no internet. Or close to no internet. And its worst than the Great Firewall of China. At least you can try and hack at the GFC. No chance here. BOO.
