Germany lost the Euro Cup Finals this morning. They played badly and were lucky to have lost to Spain 1-0 only. I HATE TORRES!!! =p Went to Hougang Macs to watch with Shay. Not too big a crowd and not rowdy of course. Msg Spencer at like 230am intending to ask him wanna watch or not. Hahaha. And he replied this morning asking me wat I wanted to talk to him about. Wat can I possibly want to talk to him at 230am in the wee hours of the morning about? Not like I need counselling... LOL. Half the office on leave today. *yawnz*
Been feeling bad since Friday. Area below left shoulder at the back hurts when I breathe. Not muscle pull, more like spasm. Can't tell if it's my heart or not (yes i know heart is in front). Feeling tense all the way to the neck. Don't like this feeling at all... when I sleep on my back, I can feel the area below shoulder and top of neck throb. =( I feel like sleeping when I get home but that would just further screw up my bio-clock. *yawnz*

These people have gained a space on my blog entry coz they've said such amazingly cute stuff... =)
A certain Ms Ng who watched Italy-Romania match with me asked, "Romania, the people are called...... Romans ah?"
A nutty cousin of mine (whom i decided not to introduce to some super tall za borz of mine) said, "When my friend told me about the cyclone in Myanmar, I thought cyclone was aliens. I was wondering how come got alien come down".
Had a so-so day at Frisbee. nothing happened but the lousy feeling got carried over from last week. Got very frustrated and pissed with myself during 2nd game. Was on the verge of crying on the pitch after one particular play. Sat out after that coz of ankle which I kinda stupidly twisted before Frisbee and also coz of lousy feeling. Rong sat out the game to chat with me. I decided that I would give next week's game a miss so that I could get some rest. Felt like just flying to some neearby country to spend next weekend at and to watch the soccer finals. But go overseas means no kaki. =(
Alright, gotta head out now for prawning with the girls. Hopefully I catch 3 prawns at least. Hahaha!! Holland-Russia match later!!! GO HOLLAND GO!!!
Had Frisbee today for first time at Bishan Park. Made a boo-boo early in the morn by going to the wrong park. I happily msg everyone that if they dun see me, either one of us is lost. Turned out, I was the lost one. That was still fine, just had a warm up walk to Park 1 where everyone else was already. Nothing major happened. I'm just feeling lousy and over-sensitive. But the feeling sucks nonetheless. There was a point coz our team line-up was weaker than the other team and I thought I'd switch with Tee Joo. But SJ didn't agree but he just couldn't say something like "let's stick to the line-up and see how". Basically they just didn't want me coz I'm a lousy player. Spencer kinda had to save the situation by saying like "we'll take you Angie". It just sucks although I know I'm not a good player. It's not like I like being lousy. It's not that I dun try. Playing with Rong, Chloe and Spencer is great. They know my confidence level is not that high so they try to encourage me. Today my confidence level for Frisbee just fell to an all-time low, even worse than when I first started. I cried thinking about it. Call me over-sensitive. Maybe I just need a reason to cry and this was just it. Frisbee just isn't so great anymore, not with the wrong people... =(Still crying...
It's been a really fun weekend. 4Fs - Friends, Food, Fotos and Frisbee!! The week itself was pretty good too.
Bought "laogong" on Monday from Maestro. Stock finally came in. Pretty cheap. $213 thereabouts, add a bag and tuner it was $275 I think? Can't quite remember. Pic on left grabbed from the Maestro blog.Tuesday was league at SAFRA Mount Faber. First time playing for Charles' team for the league. I never thought I'd eat the Fun Choy there so soon after Singapore Open. =( Scores were not good but shots improved in 2nd & 3rd game coz Yatim pointed out that I was topping my ball which has always been problem but after he told me I tried to stay behind my ball a bit more. RXS gave me 4 pin 10s in a game, Scorching gave me 3 pin 7s. =(Wednesday was on leave but couldn't bring myself to get butt out of house... Started to feel a sore throat coming on by afternoon. Damn... Arranged to have dinner with Shay nonetheless. Went to Serangoon Gardens' Sushi Tei coz my last meal at Sushi Tei was unsatisfying. Ordered loads. Nic met us and then we had dessert at the hawker centre. When wewere trying to get cab home, somehow by some stroke of luck, Shay spotted daddy driving past. Like WTH?! he was there to pick Mandy up. And Shay so dun remember her dad's car number plate at all... just the make and the driver. Hahaha!!Friday had steamboat buffet at Novena with Jolin, Nic & Shay after work. Not bad. Must go with mummy again some other time. Lunch would be better though. Felt super full after that. Girls were sneaking in Coke from 7-Eleven to pour into our glasses.
Saturday morning was supposed to be Frisbee but an hour into discussion, we cancelled it. We were really pushing our luck. So I landed up at Tiong Bahru Market for breakfast with mummy n daddy. Went back to office to get my phone chargers. Heehee. Rested at home before meeting Kellee, Rong, Hec and TJ for dinner at Shangri-La's The Line. I liked it a lot more than Straits Kitchen and Meltz and it turned out not as ex as I thought. Took loads of pics and was tyring to find stuff to complain about. Unglam chopsticks that spoiled the dining experience, counters that were too high for the vertically challenged like moi, waiters who say "my manager will scold me" in an abrupt manner, no topping up of water, wrongly sliced maguro sashimi.... But we liked the place and food on the whole. Had to fight for lobster each time it came out. LOL. had like half a lobster only. Was good. =) 
Spent 2 hours in the lobby after that taking photos. Posed for our "pro" photographer Kellee. Hahha!! But not bad lah... We looked good...
Rushed to Sin Ming for my first ever prawning experience! Didn't know what to do but it turned out fun. Jolin and family and friends, plus Shay, Jazzy and Nic. Although we caught very few prawns, we're already planning our next prawning outing. Heehee. And we'd probably get a rod each next time. Maybe this week after Frisbee since this week's session is scheduled at Bishan Park. Just that I've got guitar and will hafta travel back. Got back at like 5am...
Frisbee happened on Sunday. Was really tired. Coughed night before so still feeling not quite up to par. Hate it. And I didn't feel like I gave it my all. =( Headed for guitar which turned out to be a hilarious session. Edwin was like damn close to my fingers when he asked me to play the 4 chords. I was very kan cheong and told him "eh, can dun so close or not ah? u making me very nervous". Hahaha!!! Then for the rest of the session he was so conscious. When trying to see Shirley play after that he suddenly bounced back from his position coz suddenly he felt he was very close again. LOL! Need to practice hard this week so that I can play my first song! Fingers so felt the effect of practicing last week.
We're all rushing to take pics with our 4th place finisher This Singapore Open just flew by. It wasn't anyway as fun as last year. Quiet and boring on the whole. Eye candy here and there, but nothing beats fav reporter!! =) Got drunk on last nite. Went to Club de Master with Remy, Jolin, Nic and a few other bowlers. Headed to Zouk later on and ok, I lost it there. Didn't know what happened half the time I was there till Nic told me the next day... But then again, at least I dun have a scandalous pic unlike Ms Wu... HAHAH!! Got back home at like 3am and woke up at 645am to go for mobile lanes at Segar Road. I was still pretty drunk at that time. Slept in cab. But amazing part, I went for Frisbee later at 11am. Heeeheeeheeee!! Played pretty ok. Guitar at 130pm. Crazy day. Told Edwin I hadn't touched my guiar for 3 weeks. And surpringly again, I did as well as my classmates, if not better... =) Had dinner at Chin Chin with parents. Ate loads coz felt damn deprived from my 2 weeks at Mount Faber.And finally, the 41st Singapore International Open in pics! Great job by Shayna Ng Lin Zhi!!! Hahaha!! Youth Girls' bowl like sleeping but Women's Open woke up... A 4th place finishing is fantastic. 1st Women's Open title coming soon I hope!!
2nd picture story - my first ever appearance at the National Runway Cycling & Skating event on 25th May 2008!! =) Nice "getaway" after being cooped up in the squad room for an entire week!!
Looking forward to next year's event already!! ENDURANCE 45KM!!
