RH

yes, this is an update on my life.

so things are starting to get busy these days. got into Raffles Hall for the first year of study in NUS which is good.. i need not worry about traveling to and fro home and NUS for at least the next 12 months. yeah to waking minutes before lessons and what not. so anyway that s not the point. i recently started going down there to help out with some RAG preparations which will take place on the 6th of August.. if i did not remember wrongly. so anyway, been painting and decorating and creating props and what not. meeting new friends and learning new things. rather good start i would say. hope for of such things come by in the next few weeks or so.

the bad side? waking up early and packing myself like a sardine as i make way to NUS RH. each time, the journey takes about 2 hours. also, leaving halfway because i have lessons to teach back in the east of Singapore. ohh wells, just doing what i can.

those things aside, NUS admin stuff is streaming in. bank loan stuff, camp stuff, hostel preparations, course preparation.. and stupid QET. really hope all go smoothly with minimal or no obstacles. really thankful to those friends that help me along the way.. be it with simple explanation to favours. i really appreciate them. my family has been supportive too.. so yeah me. i'm blessed.

four semi

another big game just passed early this morning. at midnight, the game between France and Germany kicked off. the game was really awesome with great suspense and constant heart attack moments throughout the game. in the end, Germany won by just one goal over France.

the free kick to the header goal was calssic. one can really see that they really have been practising their set pieces seriously during this course of competition. on the other quarter final match, Brazil won Colombia 2-1 to move one to the semi-final as well. as expected, Brazil and Germany are facing each other in the semi-final. really shocked and amused to see Colombia going against countless odds to make it this far into the competition as well. well done lads.

nonetheless, this round of semi-final would be Germany's 4th consecutive semi-final in four World Cups. says a lot about their consistency. really hope they go on to win the champions. might be slightly too early to say but i believe so. tonight will be another round of quarter final matches.

today it is the 4th of July. first and foremost, to any American friends hopping to this blog for whatever reason, HAPPY 4th OF JULY, my American friends.

that aside.. 4th of July is special for me too. last year on this day, i passed my practical driving test. yes it has been one year. how time flies. that being said, it now means whenever i drive i can drive without the silly probation plate. yeah me.. plus no points deducted over the last 12 months. hello people, i am a safe and awesome driver.
