maybe fergie isn't gonna miss you and the fans are gonna stop chanting your name after the first few games. but you were always my idol poacher, the goal-getter from nowhere and a player i always looked forward to seeing on the pitch. for your 150 goals. for that impossible goal that curled in from the bye-line. for that omnipotence in the box and the amazing ability to break the offside trap. for all your lack of athleticism, tricks and attractiveness, you were one helluva a football player. i'm gonna miss you ruudy. i'll wear your jersey proudly.

the sale of van Nistelrooy aside, today was a pretty good day. i got back a european history essay: 18/22 from edna tan!!! the highest ever. whee! and 22/25 for Int'l History SBQ, which is an L6. i've never felt so reassured by my grades in JC. to top it all off, i enjoyed the half-day with girlfriend and vernie, first by getting mr young's prezzie then heading down to thai noodle house, which vernie enjoyed methinks. it's good to enjoy time off with the two best people to happen to me in college :)

i played a good game of football with the kids at ngee ann primary, but acquired a good deal of blisters in the process. twas a timely change of plan, seeing how my brain wasn't actually in the frame to tackle any more math problems which i'm sure i'd subsequently screw up. after that, i headed down for a brief hello at dax young's place, which exudes bachelor. i missed most of the fun, but it was good to be with my class, who've made my time in college [which is coming to an end] a lot more enjoyable than my sec school in *ugh* VS. hooray for A52!

the major blip in the day was how my expedition to funan ended in failure, because civilization iv: warlords isn't out yet *sad pout*

oh, i was also extremely cheesed off [read: fuming/oozing with rage/etc] by something that i was told happened. one does not, in any measure, pedestal oneself above one's peers, especially when one has an output that sucks so bad, it could vacuum clean 24hrs. i know i should calm down, be forgiving and what-not, but this is outrageous! gr. i have no respect for that person whatsoever.

ok, self-righteous outburst over. the day continues into evening with normalcy.
