ah screw it! i'm bloody tired of waiting for the bloody pictures of my bloody blood donation from bloody Darcy to bloody update. so therefore, i shall just give a normal update.

hmm well, apparently...

MY BLOODY BLOCK WAS ON FIRE TODAY. THAT'S RIGHT, POTONG PASIR BLOCK 137 WAS ON FIRE TODAY. who turned the caps on? bloody hell. yeah my block caught fire today! well actualli, it wasn't exactly like a 14 storey building engulfed in flames. the 13th floor caught fire. well, not the entire 13th floor but one unit on it. and it wasn't realli like flames pouring out of the windows, menacingly licking the neighbouring units. there was just smoke coming out of it. and it wasn't like thick, black columns billowing from the windows. it was just like, you know, little wisps gently floating by. alright FINE. so it wasn't that big a thing but how often do you see fire trucks riding into Potong Pasir?

outstretched arms lead by extended index fingers, accompanied by the sound of voices going, "ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen. oh it's the thirteenth floor." here in little Potong Pasir things like these don't happen much - apart from the occasional ambulance for another senior resident with a cardiac arrest. sometimes i think we Singaporeans need a little excitement in our lives. you look to the U.S [once again. sheesh, the yanks are like the quintessential reference for almost everything] and you see high-speed chases, bank robberies, some daredevil doing some impossible stunt, planes crashing into buildings, oops a bit too far. anyway, my point is, Singapore: too safe to be exciting? you always have some rule for something that's presumably dangerous but at the same time may provide some form of fun or excitement. take for example, moshing. what's wrong with moshing apart from the fact that you might fall and get trampled on, or piss someone off and get a black eye, or just basically get hit all over which is one of the main objectives of moshing. well, you might say, "you just bloody said it dammit!" but think for a second. isn't moshing - FUN? i mean come on! how often do you get to dance-cum-shove-people-around? what's more to your favourite band playing live? i don't know about you but count me in. another example is body surfing. it's body surfing dammit! how much more fun can it get, aside from being groped by several sets of hands and maybe getting pick-pocketed. but body surfing! the last time i ever witnessed body surfing was during the free POD concert back in 2001 i think. then again, there was no security. but seriously, bands get a large portion of the energy they need to perform from the crowd. if you're supposed to be a high-energy, gut-busting act and your audience is just standing there moving their heads, how are you going to go on? they need to be jumping around along to the beat, singing along to the choruses. that's the complete gig experience. it's not just watching a bunch of guys playing songs.

anyways, National Day coming up. i hope i don't get to be one of the broze-painted ones who start Act 1 of the parade. i'd rather be on guard duty and protect bags and stuff.

okay, got match starting soon.

oh wait. did it mention that i've been MISSING PLAYING AND JUST BASICALLY HANGING OUT WITH ACFC? shit man, it's been like weeks. and i've been hearing about conflicts and matches lost. like what the hell? come on boys. we're a team. look out for each other. ultimately we work towards the same goal. try to look from each other's perspectives. come on, where's that spirit we have? i know exams and committments are coming up, but remember the fellowship yeah? always remember the fellowship. WOP! and maybe we can all dota together one day.

WOP!
