the events of 6 june
WARNING: this entry is written after a frenzied emotional surge in photo taking and image editing. words might seem silly. ignore if incomprehenable. pictures are fun.

expectally, soccer was good on Sunday, for pictures, you can refer here.
unfortunately:
1) the ball somehow got kicked really high onto one of the horizontal pillars and stayed there. (like whats the freaking probability?)
2) my team was behind 4-3 at that moment. Victor, who kicked it up there, happened to be from the other team. speak about sportsmanship.
3) i injured my toe and my soccer boots are dying (hint hint)
fortunately:
1) the person who kicked the ball up happens to be the owner of the ball
2) no windows were broken in RI
shopping with Chelsea after that for Yueping's archery-shared present proved to be.. erm.. interesting. Visited the book fair while we were at it. it has further proven my theory on my style of shopping. after seeing an item that i really need/ want (which isn't many i can tell you), and if the price seems like a bargain to me, i would be VERY tempted to buy it. however, i was pursuaded to look around first for even better bargains, if not we can go back there again. ah, this is where Kenneth's logic comes in. most of the time, i may not see a better bargain, or am too lazy to go back to the first shop, or my interest for the object would have fallen, and i would not buy after i leave that shop behind me. the stupid thing is that i'll probably need that thing soon (ok, to avoid confusion, it's glossy photopaper we're taking about), so i'll find myself going out to get it again. argh. so i've always practised the superb intuitive buying, which, in my opinion, is highly efficient.

6 june also happens to be Jolene's and Gerald first year together! yeah! happy first anniversary! since they are half a globe physically apart now, i've helped Jolene create the picture below (steps as indicated.. shall not elaborate) using photoshop. it was great fun. haha. i think i should try to create neocards as a living. *grin*
fooling around with photoshop (click to enlarge)

and it also happens to be Huayang's birthday! a few of us met up for dinner at Kenny Rogers, afterwhich we spent post-dinner coffee at TCC .
~~~~~
training was good today, hit a personal best and both rounds above 240! woah!
i really liked the song "Security" by Joss Stone as of late, so i started surfing around for inspiration to perhaps make my next header picture (you know, the one that always changes at the top?). anyway, i found this pic and decided to share. haha, it's a good laugh.. hmm... someone i probably will not hire.

somehow we always find ourselves taking photos at Millenia Walk, goodness know why. haha, so here's another photo of my (unusally depleted) sec 2 class. hmm, i was the photographer, so i had to be the words "me" in the photo.
we had loads of fun, mainly spent on poking fun at the birthday boy, making silly ACS jokes (what do u expect from old RI boys?), and chatting about schoolmates and where everyone has been.
i enjoyed the catching up. thanks old chaps.
