30 odd mins on the pitch.
body-checked an opponent which resulted in a penalty.
missed a one-on-one chance against the goalkeeper.
sustained no injuries,
couldn't keep up with the pace @ times.

that's my first game as a weekend soccer warrior.
more to come in the coming weeks.

Ohh...the jersey is rather tight'

I can’t really sleep since last night.
The coughing is still there, never seems to go away.
Breakfast is tasteless,
Surfing the net feels so aimless.
No mood for basketball or anything.
Can’t even finish listening to any songs on iTunes.

I dun know how to end this entry.
Let’s just leave it till later.

Having Lab lessons in the School Com labs.
Can't seems to blog @ home,
I think the singnet connection @ home is crappy.

Been thinking a lot for the past 24 hours.
There will also be plenty to talk about on Sat.

The coming weekend is pretty exciting to look forward to.
Dinner with beau
(i need to spend more quality time with the "Devil")

Weekend Soccer match @ St Wilfred.
(let's hope i dun get injured)

Signing off...
teacher comin!



Went for a movie date on the 3rd day of CNY,
Been quite a while since my last movie outing (poor man - what to do)

But i am not going to comment much about the movie,
just that Ghost Rider is not a movie to catch,
Graphics was decent,
but storyline is non-existent.

Instead, i would like to use the time,
to share this list of irritating things to do at the cinema,

Enjoy.

Instead of the usual talking on your cellphone, putting your feet up on the seats in front of you, upgrade your skills at the theatre with the following list of Must-Do:

1. During the trailers, shout, “Fast forward! Fast forward!”
2. Wear a very tall hat.
3. When people come in late, say “Orrrrrhhhh” very loudly.
4. During opening credits... point at a character and say loudly, "He dies at the end."
5. After every gunshot, scream "take cover!" and hit the floor.
6. Use a laser pointer and point the beam at the screen, especially at character’s *cough* parts.
7. Go “tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk” loudly at every kissing scene.
8. Throw popcorn in the air and yell, "It's snowing! It’s snowing!"
9. Clap and cheer whenever one of the good guys gets killed.
10. Urge everyone in the cinema to start a Mexican wave. (Kallang Wave also can!)
11. During love scenes, say loudly in Mandarin, “Ngggh! Bu yao, ma!” (“Don’t!”)
12. During horror movies, keep singing the theme to “Jaws” (dum dum… dum dum…dum dum dum dum dum dum…)
13. Sit on old people, pretending not to know they are there
14. Go to an afternoon screening. Go out of your way to sit next to the only other person in the cinema. Smile at him/her suggestively. (Recommended: waggle your eyebrows for added effect.) 15. Repeat all dialogue ten seconds after it's said on screen.
16. Bring in durians for your movie snack.
17. Or bring in a bowl of noodle soup, and slurp it up loudly.
18. During a sensitive scene, stand up and say loudly, “I go shee-shee now, can?”
19. Eat the snacks of the person sitting next to you.
20. Lick the person sitting next to you.

Please proceed with the above with caution...

For a moment,
It was like the longest 1 hour that ever was.
For that very instance,
I thought it was over.

Compatibility?
Chemistry?

All seems to be lost.

I was so afraid,
Something so special actually started to crack.

Your first words was hurtful,
My email said what I felt.
Your email showed me your fears.
My reply healed the cuts before they could get worse.

We shall find the inner strength we have.
We shall give it our best shot.
I want to make sure it’s probably the first,
And the last one I will have.

We shall face the road ahead together.
Because,
You have become such an important part of my life.
That without you seem so lonely.

I’ll wait.
And 2 weeks is really too long….


From a slightly EMO xiaoqiang
on a bright sunny Monday.




A preview of the upcoming skin...
quite orange...
but i like!

It’s rather odd,
Something kinda unusual as compared to the past.

There will not be any House-visiting this Day 1 of CNY for my family.
Without a family car,
The unwillingness to take a Cab (there’s $3 extra surcharge)
The inconvenience of the MRT / Bus transport system (actually I dun think we want to squeeze with anyone else, and it takes too long to travel to places like Tampines).

So, no visits for Day 1.
At least for now (that’s why I’m blogging)

Also,
Everyone in the family is SICK, less my brother (he’s just tired, NSF syndrome)
Flu, Cough, Sore Throat,
My ankles also feel like Crap.

Maybe we shall visit my Fourth Uncle and Third Auntie.
They’re single.
The hongbao should be pretty decent…

Anyway,
Happy CNY to all.
Especially to my beloved … pineapple!

It’s Friday.
Prelude to the CNY weekend.

This CNY…
What are your wishes?

Reunion Dinner?
Some of you can choose KFC as your reunion dinner.,
So does it meant anything today?

Hongbaos probably dun matter.
Because most of you out are already working,
Or you already have a nice enough pocket money.

New clothes?
I think you probably buy more apparel throughout the year.

Visit your relatives?
I think you rather stay @ home and relax.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

To Xiaoqiang,

While I still try to do my part,
As a son,
As a grandson,
As a brother to my siblings,
Is only to fulfill my responsibilities.

Although,
The feasting,
The takings from Hongbao collection,
The gambling,

Chinese New Year
Is still Good to me!

Happy CNY to all readers!
May you have a great time.

it's the 3rd post today.
it only means that i m DAMN FREE!!!







The New England Kits have been launched.
Singaporeans (England) Fans,
You know what you have to do!
Me?
Nah...
I prefer the Nike Singapore Jerseys.
Can't Wait to get one though



For the past 23 years,
My Valentine's Day has always been revolving around Schoolwork, Army Assignments and other duties.

There wasn't a someone there to spend quality time with.
Never has been the case.
I haven't found that someone.

That was back then.

I'm blessed to tell my friends,
that ever since a couple of days ago,
There's a big change in my life

I no longer feel lonely,
when i see couple hanging out, holding hands.
I no longer felt left out by the Love Cupid.

Holding you @ the beach,
The simple cake,
The gift exchange,
Another of our 'first'
Bear hugging,
The Occasional tickle.

Thanks.
My Valentine.

Enough of the lovey dovey...
we shall focus on what we do best for the next 2 weeks.
Multi-tasking....

Sending Offs…

Changi Airport can be a sad place.
Departures getting EMO,
Friends and Families saying their goodbyes to loved ones.

Australia will be a place for you,
Somewhere you would like,
The Beer,
The Chicks,
The laidback lifestyle
You probably will have one hell of a time there.

Meantime,
As a friend,
All I would say is Good Luck!
Study Hard,
And get an Ang Moh girlfriend!

Ohh…
Happy Valentine’s Day on the plane…

All the best,
Ernest ‘Frankie Chaps’ Lim.

February 10

It’s a Special Day.
Just for the 2 of us.

The Botanical Gardens,
A field with a simple mat,
A night where the stars are out,
A moment,
Where the breeze was cool,
When it felt so right.

I asked,
You said yes.

I almost can’t believe it,
But that sparkle in my life,
One that has been there for me the past months,
Just shone ever so brightly.

Holding your hands,
Having you beside me,
Making you giggle,
Telling you a joke.
With you in my arms,
I can’t ask for anything more.

It’s our first,
And I will give everything I have,
To make sure we only have happy times,
Ride through the tough times,

I used to like you,
But now,
I’m D.I.L with you.

Ohh…who is she?
It’s for me to know,
For you to find out.

A secretive xiaoqiang…

A Cockroach's Diary will be taking a one week self-imposed suspension,
as the author is trying his hardest to be a good student,
and complete his immediate school assignments.

Anyway,
The Creative Department is facing a shortage of ideas,
and a severe lack of aspiration to write new blog entries.

Apologises!


Saturday, February 03, 2007


Courage.
I've been trying so hard to put it together,
Only to falter at the last moments.

It's possibly,
Now or Never.

I'm ready.
or perhaps i'm too passive & not proactive?

Watching a ‘Live’ Soccer Match,
Is one hell of an experience.

Too bad,
It was possibly the last time @ Kallang Stadium,
Where a competitive match will be played before the new Sports Hub will take it’s place.

It’s nice to be part of history,
Got to be there.
Die, Die also have to be there.

Thanks to my classmate who bought us the tickets,
About half the SW class joined the 55000 strong crowd,
To watch Singapore take on Thailand.

Keropok,
Coke - PLENTY of Ice Cubes, very little Coke,
$1 curry puff,
Yes,
It feels a little like the nostalgic 1970s, 1980s,
Ok…maybe also the hey-days of 1990s Malaysia Cup era.

People arriving at the stadium without tickets,
People already at the stadium with plenty of tickets to sell.
People ever so willing to pay for black market prices to watch and not stay disappointed.

It took a little more time,
Friends, Family,
Students, Working Professionals,
Strangers,
Some ang-moh here and there,
Singaporeans in general,
Packed the stadium to capacity by 815pm.

Stomping of the feets awaits,
The in-coming Kallang wave that went round,
Confetti everywhere.
The ‘Referee Kayu’,
The many ‘Bu Toe’,
The ‘Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole’,
The atmosphere was fantastic.

The match lived up to the hype,
Cagey affair at times,
Not to mention,
The Thai players did their best to fall down every 5 –10 minutes,
Trying to put the Lions off,
Giving the referee plenty of hard work to control the match.

And the drama is completed,
During the 80 plus minutes,
When Singapore was awarded a penalty,
All the Thai players walked off the pitch,
Refusing to continue play – disagreeing with the referee’s decision.

Everyone in the stands were impatient,
Shouting, Cursing,
While the Singapore team could even pass around the ball,
The Thai opponents choosing to delay play,
Until 15 minutes or so later,
Returning to the field again.

2-1 the Final Score,
Good result to end the evening of drama.

Well,
We sing our hearts out (national anthem singing also can cork up)
We lost our voice (momentarily or semi-permanent)
We broke every possible traffic rules (jay-walking across road dividers included)
Making our way home was like doing an obstacles course with 55000 other people.
Motorcycles, Cars, Pedestrians,
Traffic at standstill.

The only irony was that the Singapore supporters in Red,
Looks like we are rooting for the Thais,
Who wore red on this night!

But,
Let say it again.

It was one hell of an experience!

& sadly,
the S-league is not anywhere close…
