Well of Illusions!

lol i just realised i am on my 76th post which means that the post before this is the 75th post (and still is) meaning that i'm three quarters of the way to hitting one hundred posts! :O wah...that must be a very special day.

so anyhoo just got back from my europe tour, which started a week after i came back from taiwan with the ri softballers so it really gave me the chance to compare a family trip with a trip with friends la and sad to say i think i enjoyed the taiwan trip more -.-

not to say that my family sucks but i just don't cut it with the rest of my family :/ like (really) i didn't swear on the entire tour to europe and even when i was sitting by myself (yes i sat by myself) on the coach between the different countries i wasn't even swearing under my breath to myself. see i have great self control :D but that doesn't mean i didn't enjoy myself we'll talk about that later my raving and ranting comes first!

so anyway the taiwan trip was quite cool la photos you can check them out on my facebook which i took a hell frickin long time to upload cos i don't have this stupid wdv activex thing that's so important you can't play msn games without it and now you can't upload facebook photos fast without it -.- so irritating pls spare a thought for the technologicall retarded (as in me) and don't make everything so complicated kthx.

wasn't really that cold outside in taiwan when we went there it just took a little getting used to, and on the whole the trip was quite fulfilling, got to see alot of imba softballers (girls no less) and even managed to get bullied off the field -.- think about it, in singapore we have storm and all the src people, and we go to taiwan and we still get bullied by adults. bullies are the only universal things in this...universe lol.

my first game with an over the fence homer also fell within this trip...a crazy slug from an inside low pitch that cleared the first fence and hit the upper half of the second fence -.- dude...wtf man. and clearly i need to polish up my chinese so i don't get 'two balls, one strike' when i ask for the number of 'outs'. lol.

and still on about taiwan, i really appreciate the singapore media now cos they don't frickin tape other languages over the originals for tv shows -.- it's frickin irritating to watch csi when all the characters are speaking in chinese. dude, i don't even know wth 'thumb' is in chinese. i think it's 'mu something' or something...darn.

so yeah, chinese sucks -.- period.

but it was quite fun to get to screw around with the rest of the guys for 6 (or was it 7?) days. don't really get to do that quite often i mean in school you're crazy about studying and you more or less hang out with people frm your own batch and don't get to talk much to your juniors and after training most of us are like whisked home by our parents since it's so frickin late. but during this trip i think (more for the juniors) that it allowed us to bond as a cca and if that was one of the goals besides improving in the sport itself then i think it was reached la. dude, i even ended up sleeping in the sec 2's room. no, not going to think about what some of them might have done while i was sleeping. i prefer to think they very nicely left me alone to snooze (:

then there's the europe tour and walao damn exciting sia! right from the start i see a softball umpire at the airport who recognises me and i think 'orh, must be going for sea games la' cos there were some sea games athletes at the airport at that time also. but when he went over to the same tour guide as me i was like WTF!?

so yeah, i was on the same europe tour as one of the softball umpires. and he was part of an extended family of 18 people so you can imagine how big the group was -.-

and europe this time of the year is FRICKIN HELL! maybe it's hell frozen over but STILL...i FUCKING HATE THE COLD NOW REALLY HATE IT when i got off the bus in london i was like FUCK then jumped back up again. everyday it was like at least 3 degrees centigrade or lower, and when the wind blows you really feel like setting yourself on fire. no guarantee that the wind wouldn't blow it out immediately.

europe really opened my eyes to alot of new stuff. i mean in taiwan it's more or less the same as singapore since we went for like shopping trips and played games most of the time, but in london i went to the globe, which looks totally different from my stupid model i did for re last year -.- and i kept walking into signboards...yes people hold signboards to advertise oO theatre, food, waxing...there was a guy standing at a phonebox holding a large arrow that pointed to subway oO quite cool wonder how much they earn...

and stuff in europe is damn fricking ex...probably die living there -.-

bla bla bla too sian to talk about it already i've actually told a hell lot of ppl abt it anw so...the post ends here damn i have to go slp! wtf...

and to prove my blog isn't dead PLS if u come here and read this TAG OK!? :D

if you don't, i will know. and i will find you. and do nasty things.

byebye! :D
