In between exams...
The pigeon we called 'Chicken'
Man U 2 - 0 Arsenal

In between exams...
Woke up at around 2.45pm. Been sleeping late (like, around 3-4am =P) for the past whole week...and as a result, breakfast became a rare occasion for most of us (even rarer than seeing Yong Chen at home =P). On those days between exams when we have no plans at all for the whole day, we’ll usually wake up at bout 2.30pm and have lunch half an hour later (coz Ashok needs half an hour to 'get ready' ^^"). What do we do everyday till so late at night? Seriously, I don’t know...mostly us sitting around the table talking cock and more cock (you'll be surprised how one topic can lead to another topic that has nothing to do with the first one at all ;) ) till someone couldn’t take it anymore and seek refuge in slumberland ^^. There's even a few times we made it past 5am ;). Yea, we're crazy...but it's not like we can help it =P

Oh yea...by we i meant me, Jem and Ashok only ;). The others had 'obligations' so couldn't enjoy waking up late like we do =P (but sometimes one or two of them will join or cock-talking session ^^)

The return of Bob Cup into our lives ^^
After lunch with Ashok and Yong Chen (Jem had an 'emergency' MSN meeting...so important he’ll skip lunch just for it haha =P), me, Ashok, Jem and Yong Chen decided to go ‘bobbing’ (the term for playing badminton) again! It's like months since we last played and we have nothing to do anyway so I suggested we do something. Actually, we wanted to play a few weeks back but the lights aren't on (the guards said the lights are spoiled...). So desperate we got that there was once that we even played in the dark O_o (we normally play at night coz there’ll be no wind...unlike in the evening). Think the Bob Cup spirit’s back in us again ^^

Btw on the way to the badminton court (which is juz about a hundred metres away from our block), we found an injured pigeon in the drain (it didn’t fly away when we came near...isn’t that an obvious sign). We figure that if it stays there it'll be killed by the many cats in My Place. So we thought that carrying it out and onto the ground will give it some chance to run away (ok, so we were wrong...). Ashok tried to carry it out of the drain using badminton racquets but I don’t think the pigeon likes it ^^". We juz stood there looking at Ashok doing his best then I thought what the heck are we doing and juz crouched down and used my bare hands to carry the pigeon out onto the ground (which turned out to cause its death - Jem said a kitten bit it to death when he check on it afterwards ^^". I was just trying to be kind...really...).

Seeing the injured pigeon reminds me again of an incident some months ago. You see, one day long ago, when 7 of us still go for lunch together (THAT's very very long ago ^^), we came back to see a pigeon in our balcony. After failing to drive it away, we figured out it’s injured (either that or it's one dumb bird - it should know better than to come to 121D =P). So after discussing what to do with it, we decided let it stay in our balcony and affectionately called it ‘Chicken’ (based on a really funny incident way back during secondary school; hint : Ashok haha =P). We put out a big cardboard box for it to live in (well, that’s the best we can do ^^"), gave it some food and what did we get? It shitted in our balcony. Jem even stepped on one of its 'offerings' and got so mad that he threw his socks at it and killed it (haha…at least that’s what we thought was its cause of death =P). And it didn't eat the food we thrown at it...maybe it doesn't like biscuits?

The next day when we came back from college, Chicken was still there. The only difference was that it’s lying down now. Apparently sometime during our time in college, it died, leaving a clue to its sudden death : shit. Lots of them. All over our balcony. That’s why we think Jem’s socks killed it haha =P. Even though Chicken had been with us only for a day, we are sad it died...really. So sad that Yih Seong even written a song for it haha (it's recorded on Pat's phone ;) ) :

'Chicken'
Chicken...
Why'd you have to go...
Chicken...
Your pain we didn’t know...

You came into, our balcony,
We gave you food, you didn’t eat

Chicken...
Why'd you have to go...
Chicken...
Your pain we didn’t know...

Man U 2 - 0 Arsenal
First of all, i have to admit i'm not an avid fan of football though i still follow up on EPL a bit (and even less of the Spanish league). And no, i don't support Man U nor Arsenal ;). So who do i support? Well, here's a clue. This club's stadium is located in the same vicinity as a Division Three club. And i support both these clubs ;). Post the answer in the comments if you know...but i doubt it =P.

Anyway back to today. Today's the match between Man U and Arsenal. So Yih Seong gathered (or tried to...at least) some budaks to go watch it at either a mamak restaurant (and risk having to resort to using binoculars to watch the match) or Hoi's house (coz he got Astro). Obviously, we invited ourselves to Hoi's place (though Yih Seong 'tried' not to make us sound like we're inviting ourselves ^^"). Me, Yih Seong, Jeremy, Ashok, Leong and Yong Chen left home at 11.10pm (the match was supposed to start at 11pm). At first Yong Chen couldn't decide whether he wants to go or not until Jem called him serabai O_o (i think Jem's fed up with his hesitation ^^") and Yong Chen juz follow us quietly after that (are you angry with Jem at that time? Coz you kept really quiet during the walk...). But then just as we reach his place, Hoi called to tell us he'll be late and only came back 20 minutes later ^^". Later we found out that he went for a birthday dinner party for his grandma...oops ^^". Then his mother served us HIS birthday cake. Apparently they celebrate his birthday and his grandma's together. Double oops ^^".

As for the match, it was entertaining...seeing how 'fair' they played it ;). Now, i don't have anything against Man U but during that match they are really rough and even resorted to playing dirty at some point (Ferdinand should be sent off for that...). If you ask me yesterday if i hope Arsenal lose, i'll say yes (their unbeaten run got a bit too long =P) but after this match...i think Man U doesn't deserve to be one winning. But then again, this is football. Man U played good football (the second goal was really nice), they won and that's all that matters ain't it. Well, congrats to them =) (no...i'm not being sarcastic...not that it'll matter anyway)
