Rinse and Repeat

This week has been very routine to say the least, well except for Friday night. Friday night went to watch The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3. Its about the hijacking of an underground train. All I can say is that their escape plan was really FAIL. I would put this movie under the "Only watch if really bored" category. Yong said the movie was nice but I'll like to think his judgment is affected by other factors, most importantly the company. He went to watch with girls while I was starring alongside an ALL-GUY team.

No more prisons to break out from.

So Yong complains that blogs of people who just share their views on news/stuff that can be found on Google is just boring. He wants us to blog about our LIFE. So I'll try to blog about my everyday life. Don't worry the schedule is very easy. You can even memorise it. So like I said, apart from Friday night it has been VERY routine. During the day its all about Work, Eat, Work, Eat. At night I study CPA. Which reminds me: I am proud to report that I am two weeks ahead of the recommended schedule set by CPA. After studying, I watch Prison Break. That's one day. Rinse and repeat. Everyday is the same. Not sure what I'm going to do next week because I have finished the last season of Prison Break already. Well except for, the final two-hour episode which I can't be bothered to watch.

Spoiler: Scofield dies at the end. BIGGER Spoiler:

I DON'T CARE HOW OR WHY.

The first two seasons of Prison Break was good but it went downhill from there. I don't really want go into how ridiculous the storyline is but suffice to say the fact that everything was part of the elaborate plan of the Company is just funny. But what is even more funny is how the characters keep changing from being sworn enemies who are at each others throats, to partners-in-crime and then back to sworn enemies. But then something happens and its back to I hate your guts but we have to work together. The "we are after the same thing" party line was just overused. Then suddenly its oh just kidding we're enemies again. Rinse and repeat.

Somehow it reminds me of You-Know-Who. DON'T WORRY! THIS IS NOT A SULK POST! I have promised Yong that I will behave this week. Trust me, I am really really happy for her. The last time I talked to her on the phone, she sounded very happy. Something tells me that she is way happier now than when she was with me, and that gave me a very warm and fuzzy (albeit weird) feeling inside. But I really really do miss her companionship. We are neither sworn enemies nor partners-in-crime yet we are hardly even friends now. So I once asked her this:

Me: "So when do you think we can hang out as friends again?"

You-Know-Who: "Only after you have found your Special One."

HEAR THAT MOURINHO? I'M COMING FOR YOU BABEHHHHHHHHH!!!

The Special One

You see we both have a pouting face picture: That's +10 to compatibility points.

Speaking of football, Real Madrid trashed Toronto 5-1. Raul scored twice, while goals from CR9, Benzema, and Robben added to the scoreline. The Captain's first goal was reminiscent to the Raul of old, tricking defenders and switching his foot to score. A lot of talk has been on whether the new Galactico system will be a success and what formation and tactics will be used. These discussions inevitably lead up to whether or not Raul deserves a place in the starting lineup. He is the Captain, the Madridista icon, in short he is a living legend at the club. Last season he eclipsed the legendary Alfredo Di Stefano's record of 307 goals (albeit with significantly more appearances) to become the all-time top goalscorer in the club's long and illustrious history. Raul's goal tally is currently at 316, and every goal he scores now sets a new record. But it only masks the fact that Raul is no longer the big game match-winner he used to be.

There was a time when Raul was simply undroppable for both club and country. His decline in form led to him being benched at the World Cup 2006 by Luis Aragones who favoured the pairing of David Villa and Fernando Torres. It worked splendidly as Spain cruised through the group stage. The only problem was the coach was under immense pressure from the media to play Raul. He was still the national team's captain and was still very influential. Many of the veterans in the squad kept pressing in favour of Raul and during the second-round match against France, Aragones was forced to play Raul. Spain were knocked out of the World Cup and when Euro 2008 came along, Raul was not chosen for the squad at all despite rediscovering his goalscoring form. A player of his experience and class surely deserves a place on the bench at least, but with Raul, its never quite that simple. He just wields too much influence. In Madrid, he is like a god. Any journalist that dares to criticize Raul in the press will lose his job (no joke). In many ways he is more powerful than the president Florentino Perez, so its very unlikely he will not feature in the starting lineup this new season. But as Spain has found out, maybe life without Raul is better. Don't get me wrong, Raul is one of my favourite players alongside Zidane, but his place is in the Hall of Fame now, not in the starting lineup anymore. I guess we shall just have to see what happens.

Oops sorry for talking so much about football and I know these are all 'views' on stuff which you can google about...blah blah. So yea the search for the Special One is on! This Friday I will be going to the FHM Malaysia's 100 Most Wanted Women Party. The night before Yong went to get the tickets, I told him not to take any for me as I didn't think I would be able to go. The next morning I told my mum about it and to my surprise she said, "Go lah! Why not?" So just as I was about to tell Yong about it he messaged me first saying, "I don't care I got the ticket for you anyway!" Haha. Guess it was meant to be. SARAH TAN HERE I COME! (shoo Yong!)

Tomorrow I have to go shop for a new external harddrive and a brand new USB pen drive for Zhou (coz his old pen drive accidentally flew out of my pocket into a big longkang). Which reminds me: I find it so irritating that so many people are wearing masks in shopping centres. Like seriously, if you so scared just stay at home =.= Everytime I see people like that I think to myself, "Tan sen pa si", which in direct translation means: Greedy to live, scared to die. I guess some, if not most people, have more to lose than me.

Peace out, hombres!
