The F1 night race was really exciting! Not so much for the driving but rather the sheer number of incidents that impacted the final standings. Best of all I thought the entire look of the race was fabulous. On the outside it looked grand and magnificent, on the track it looked tough and gruelling. It's a great combination. As much as I will run away from singapore in times of war, I do get sucked into these grand events and feel a great sense of patriotism when they impress on an international level. But anyway they should try to improve overtaking opportunities, especially if Singapore wants to compete with Monaco as the premier f1 race.

Massa is an F1nooblet. He got raped by a fuel pipe. 

Ah I just got a PSP to pass the time in camp. Some of the guys in my branch kindly helped me with the purchase and put lots of games inside. Honestly I'm not that huge a fan of handheld consoles because of my big clunky fingers of phail that don't maneuver the directional buttons too well but I'm slowly adapting. Ridge Racer is pretty fun. I'm just mindlessly drifting around but it's kinda exhilarating at the same time. Playing Bomberman is also very nostalgic. Along with the PSP I bought a Razor DeathAdder to replace my MX510. Mm I am liking it. 

I'm just waiting for the Milan Derby at the moment so nothing much to do. Well I've been reading some blogs and hearing about people and it seems that everyone outside of army is growing up and maturing in life while people like me are kinda regressing and stagnating like a lump of turd. Well to be honest sometimes I don't mind this lull period of NS. Growing up has all sorts of connotations. It's stressful and I'm not sure the lazy biatch in me wants to yet. 

Mmm, I can't say this week has been particularly eventful. Course on tuesday, off on wednesday, had an ok thursday..then a whatever friday. I did however play badminton on Thursday. It was momentous for the fact that it's the first bit of exercise I've done in 3 months. I know that's an ugly, ugly piece of trivia but I guess life isn't pretty.

It's amazing how much a bit of passion can motivate you to move your ass. I had a lot of fun and the exercise part was really just a bonus. Ah but the aftermath was pretty brutal. I'm still hurting all over the right side of my body and I've been hobbling around the house. Ah but that's just karma.

Yeah actually that's about it. Really a whatever week. I'll end off with this video 'Racism in The Elevator'. It's about stereotypes.

Seriously ffs what's a guy gotta do to get a 3 by 3 inch box to watch some damn champions league. I managed to get a laggy one with greek commentary, which died after 50 minutes. After which I settled for one which was so blur that I could take off my specs and still not be bothered because the quality was already effed. Hell I couldn't tell the black dudes from the white dudes. And then that died. AND THERE WAS NONE LEFT. NONE. And because the damn media in singapore is so EPL-centric, even if I want to pay to watch Inter on tv I CANT. THEY AINT THERE. NO DELAYED TELECAST NO SHIT. I JUST BLOODY MISSED SEEING A ADRIANO GOAL AND HES MY FAVOURITE PLAYER. FUCK.

Well before today I had never eaten wagyu beef or kurobuta pork. Both are premium varieties of meat well known for their fat marbling (aka high fat content) which makes them extra juicy and flavourful. Each serving is really hyper expensive - at least 70++ per plate for wagyu, plus my parents often complain to me that a lot of classy restaurants' poor culinary skills betray the quality of the meat. So it didn't really make sense to us to specially go out for it unless we were sure it was a great product. As it turned out, the best premium beef or pork any one of us had ever eaten came at a reasonable price. It was from this stall Big D's Grill at Bedok and it was highly recommended by ieatishootipost. The chef actually used to work in a commercial restarant, but eventually decided to start his own stall.

So the Wagyu Angus steak was $40 and the Kurobuta Pork $36. Unbelievable prices for a hawker stall but unbelievably low compared to any competitor on the market dealing in the same kind of product. It's a strange fit but it makes commercial sense. Anyway both were absolutely irresistable. The pork was GODLY. Sweet, succulent and just great to chew. The beef was equally stunning. Juicy, full of flavour and just orgasmically satisfying. I'm really not a steak fan but this one was impossible to resist. I mean the food was a complete class above anything remotely similar that I had tasted. My eyes were opened. I had a matrix moment. Char Siew is garbage.

I wish I could put up the photos but my dad is being a lazy pok and refuses to pass me his camera. Oh well.

I have caught Grey's Anatomy FEVER! I know most people will be like jeez you noob who has not seen that show yet but hey at least I eventually did get down to doing it. Season 1 was really good! The chemistry between Patrick Dempsey and Ellen Pompeo was teh awesomezl.

There also was one nice song from Episode 8 that stuck in my head simply because it was really apt for the episode. It's Fix You Up by Sara and Tegan.

Haha ok enough fanboyism.

Here's the youtube parody of Usain Bolt's spellbinding 100m olympic win. The video blows hot and cold but there are some real gems in here. Some people feel that the cocky way in which it was won marred the victory but I think it showcased the sheer belief and confidence bolt had in himself. It was a crushingly memorable performance. It reminded me a bit of Jordan flying through the air with his tongue stuck out at noobs that didn't deserve to share the same airspace.

Wow I have successfully inverted my sleep cycle in 3 days. Slept at 5 am on Saturday morning, Slept 3 hours on Saturday afternoon, Slept at 4 am this morning watching the US open and slept 5 hours this afternoon. It's really quite absurd but in my defence the afternoon weather has been terrible this weekend. Oh yeah I also met up with the geog boys on Saturday night for dinner. It was nice to catch up with noobs like AL and just talk random things. 

Anyway I'm quite sad I will be missing the US open final. The semis between federer and djokovic was quite spectacular. In the final 1 1/2 sets, federer actually hit the kind of gear that everyone expected of him but was never quite delivered this year. He hit an unbelievable slice lob which blew my brains out and he actually matched djokovic for pace. But if I was impressed with federer, I was even more blown away by Andy Murray. His gameplan against Nadal was freaking wicked. It's not something federer can pull off (because of his aggressive style and slower movement) but Murray's positioning, speed and ability to keep the unforced errors low really blunted the nadal topspin. Hope he closes out that match.

    

I'm trying Google's new Chrome browser at the moment and I am really impressed with the loading speeds I'm getting! Fastest browser I've seen so far. The bookmarking sidebar needs some beefing up and there are many great things in firefox that aren't here but considering this is the beta, I quite like it.
