The View From The Afternoon - Arctic Monkeys

Anticipation has the habit to set you up
For disappointment in evening entertainment but
Tonight there'll be some love
Tonight there'll be a rawkus, regardless of what's gone before
I want to see all of the things that we've already seen
The lairy girls hung out the window of the limousine
And of course its fancy dress
And they're all looking quite full on
In bunny ears and devil horns

I want to see all of the things that we've already seen
I want to see you take the jackpot out the fruit machine
And put it all back in
You've got to understand it you can never beat the bandit

And she won't be surprised and she won't be shocked
When she's pressed the star after she's pressed unlock
And there's verse and chapter sat in her inbox
And all that it says is that you've drank a lot
You should bear that in mind tonight
You can pour your heart out but her reasoning will block
owt you send her after nine o clock

You can pour your heart out around 3 o clock
When the 2 for 1's undone the writers block

Hey there! Haha! Like I promised, I will blog today about Caroline's departure from Singapore to Australia. Yerp, she's migrating *sobs* Supposedly, it was to be posted yesterday but like my long last post said, I was tired. Hehe. Actually, I am tired today too *I JUST WOKE UP FROM MY AFTERNOON NAP* Well, its okay. I promised someone that I'll blog, so yeah, I dont wanna break a promise (: Haha. Well, lets get started.

Actually before sending Caroline off, I had training in the morning. Soccer training, duh? Haha. Went to school alone, but clashed into Amirul Shafiq in the interchange while I was playing with my PSP, and yeah, he was too. So, we minded out own beeeez-wacks and rode the bus to school. Arrived the school bus stop and we walked to school. Called Melvyn halfway and he said he was one more stop away. Well, he DIDN'T mention that he was one stop away from the bus stop, so I waited for him. Called him again and actually, HE WAS ONE STOP AWAY FROM WOODLANDS MRT STATION! LOL! But at least I didnt wait THAT long uh. So, me and Shafiq continued our trip to school. LOL, I make it sound as if we were going for a trek. Haha. Well, when we reached school, surprisingly there was only Dillon, Jianmin, Ugaesh and Jeremy. SO DAMN LITTLE! I thought we are suppose to be early for trainings?! LOL! OMG, my sleeping time wasted. Boohee. Nevermind.

So at school, while waiting for the others to arrive, me and Jianmin challenged each other in Fifa08 via ADHOC. Haha. He lost 2-0. Actually he was losing and the game hadn't ended. So just gave up. LOL, loser? :P Maybe. Standard, I used FC Porto :D Quaresma scored with free kick :D Standarddddddd. He's like the best player in the world? HAHA! Indeed :D Well, after playing a game of Fifa08, Farihin and Melvyn came, so does the others. Haha, y'know it was like the 'new boots season' because alot of people are wearing new boots now. Me, using the Lime Green Mercurial Vapor, Farihin with his white Mercurial Vapor, MELVYN LOH HAO JIE WITH HIS NIKE TIEMPO. LOL! And some other people. HAHA! Melvyn's new boots just cost 39.90! Clearance sale! HAHAHA!

Training started late. EVEN MR.YAP CAME LATE! Haha! Mr.Azman was away to Pahang with the councillors. Khai must have some hell lots of freedom :P Attendance was pretty bad uh actually. I think there was only 16 players attended. BADDDDDDDDDDDDDD. Well, Manje, Sugan and Isaac went to Pahang. Herbin wasnt there for I dont know what reason. Salam was too lazy. Haha. Salam bad attitude. Tsk tsk tsk. Well well, so training was okay. We had to do runs first for warm ups. Then we started with long loft balls. Haha! BALLS. Mr.Yap liked my loft ball alot somehow because he said my loft ball was precisely what he was looking for. haha! Yay? Then we had shooting practice and we MUST hit the pole and then the ball must go in. Haha, must be an accuracy test. Melvyn was the keeper. Oh this is sweeeeeeeet. I love to score against him. And all his confidence will be brought DOWN :D So, yeah, I scored a couple against him. Haha. Know what Khai told me?

"Melvyn always crap around when other people are scoring against him but when you are scoring against him, he gets all serious"

HAHAHAHAHA! I think its true? :P We then had a short break and then we started a match. Haha. Leong Kiat or whatever his name is was in my team. Physically, my team is stronger. But then when we started the match, we were TACTICALLY BAD! OMG, we were losing 7-0 okay! The first half uh. Haha! MELVYN CONCEEDED 7 GOALS! What a show after returning from China. :P Then second half, Melvyn switched to the other team. Ahhhhhh, yes *sinister laugh* HAHA! Okay, we had a mjor comeback. I think it was 12-8. LOL. Crap scores huh. We were losing by four goals. OMG, imagine. Melvyn conceeded 7 + 8 goals. WHICH IS LIKE, 15 GOALS?! WHOA! He was like, totally disappointed and never talked after the game. Haha! Mr.Yap said that we will play 20mins per half but when the game ended, he said that we actually played a full 45mins half. WHOA, not bad. After training, I bathed at the place where we wash our feet. Haha. BEST MAN BATHING THERE! Like, living in the outdoors :D Woohoo! HAHA! Well then, we finished bathing and me, Farihin and Melvyn headed to Causeway Point to grab our lunch at Banquet.

We walked to the bus stop and chatted. Took the bus with Amirul Shafiq and Kamal too. Then they decided to join us for lunch as well (: We reached Causeway Point and took the lift up. Y'know we have this thing where when we are all alone in the left, we will shout at other people when they leave the lift and while the doors are closing. HAHA! Like, OMG, so childish BUT FUN :D We reached Banquet and ate. Farihin and Kamal was going each other in Fifa08 using mine and Amirul Shafiq's PSP. Kamal lost, terribly I think? Haha, cant recall.

After eating, Farihin, Melvyn and Amirul Shafiq decided to go my house to use my computer. Initially, they wanted to play PS2 but my PS2 Fifa08 disc was a big mess. It cannot be read. OMG, so damn pathetic can. ERGH! So, Farihin, Shafiq and Melvyn used the computer, webcam-ing with Faridah. haha! Faridah claims that Melvyn is cute?! LOL, okaaaaaaaay. Weird people, with unique minds. haha! I was sleeping in my room because I was too tired from training, but Amirul Shafiq woke me up because he needed something. Haha. BUMMER! Beauty sleep gone. But I am suppose to meet Fatin at 3.15pm anyway to go to Caroline's house and meet her. But it was only 1.50pm. Haha. Farihin then spotted Amyrul playing soccer at the hardcourt. He then asked me to play soccer them. So, yeah I agreed to play from 2pm till 2.45pm so that I have time to get ready and meet Fatin. Played soccer with them and it was a total slack. Like challenge sey. LOL. Not bragging though. Melvyn injured his hand because he dived, ON CONCRETE. Ding luh he. So, after a few goals, Amyrul decided to go home. Haha! Tsk3. We then headed to my house, but I have to wait for Amyrul under his block because he owes me money. He paid me the money, and off to my house, with Farihin, Shafiq and Melvyn.

Reached my house and its was already 2.35pm. Yeah, I had lotsa time to prepare. Took a long bath and got ready till 3.10pm. Haha. While getting ready, Melvyn was playing online chess with some American guy. He wants challenge. He claims himself as the 'CHESS PRODIGY'. LOL! Well, he was in a middle of a match, but I told him to end now since I hae to meet Fatin. Off-ed the computer and off we went to Breaktalk where I have to meet Fatin.

Got there just in time, but there was only Fatin. I was wondering where were the others. She said they'll meet us at Caroline's house. So, I seperated with the guys and took bus 900 with Fatin in order to reach Caroline's house. When we reached there, we were unsure on where was her house, so we went up and down till we gave up. Haha! We called her and she said "Meet me downstairs" DING LUH! LOL! So, indeed we went downstairs under her block to meet her. She was with her two luggages. Lol, the first thing I said to her was "Did you iron your shirt?" LOL! Because her shirt was crumpled but she said it was the design. LOL! MY BADDDDDDDDDDD. HAHA! How I would know anyway? :P Caroline was with her Mum and Grandmum. We then waited at the bus stop, waiting for Janrez, Caleb, Narin and Ryan. Indeed they came and we took off the place around 4.10pm. Okay, at least we're not that late. Haha.

So, yeah, when Narin arrived, Caroline told me not to mention that he is her boyfriend since her mum doesnt know anything about them. Okay, so I got that LOUD AND CLEAR Brondbo :D When everyone arrived, we took the bus 858 to Changi Airport. Well, it is true that taking the bus is much faster. So, we took the bus and I was playing with my PSP Fifa08 till Caroline wants to have a taste of it. Haha! So, I passed it to her while I listen to music in my phone ;D

Boy it was quite a long ride. Maryell called me halfway through the ride telling me to sms her when I reach. *I hope I remember* haha! Then I said, we are Tampines, heading to Changi (CHA-NGEE), not (CHANG-GHEE). Lol, we argued in the phone on how to pronounce Changi the right way. MARYELL! ITS Changi as in (CHA-NGEE) not (CHANG-GHEE). LOL! You got the pronounciation wrong. So, we argued for quite a long time over it, JUST that we argued. LOL. Argued as in not seriously argueing uh. Like, y'know, SMALL kids. LOL! :P So, we put the phone soon and when we reached the Airport, we dropped down at Terminal one instead of Terminal two. Haha. Caroline's flight was suppose to be at Terminal two anyway. So, we took teh SKYTRAINNNNNNNNN there. OMG, the skytrain is like, so damn nice. Wayyyyyyyyyyyyy better than the MRT. Haha. Because the floor is carperted and it is much cooler and it was a smooth, short ride :D Then I was acting all childish because the train intercom told us to hold onto the rail tightly because it might be a shaky ride. Then I was acting all exagerrating with the shaking in the train thing. HAHA! Then Caroline's mom was like "C'mon, it cant be that bad that shake". LOL SO PAISEY MAN! HAHAHAHAHA!

We then reached Terminal two in like, two damn minutes? Haha. It is near anyway. Fatin then called Steph to know where they were. I wanted to message Mariel but before I could send, we saw her! LOL! Well, actually I couldnt see her because she was sitting behind all those tall people. Then when I told her that, she went to pinch me. LOL, she's very very very fond of beating me up :D Its her 'thing' or 'nature' to just beat her poor Buddy here :P Well then, all of us hugged friendly hellos and the whole group of us, Lavin, me, Mariel, Fatin, Stephanie and Deanna looked for Caroline. We then finally found her and the girls, except Fatin, all hugged her. Haha! Weird. But then she had to go to collect her tickets. So, we found this cool 'Garden' where we can sit and then, the girls camwhored. HAHA. STANDARDDDDDDDDDDD.

I then had to massage Mariel's arms because her arms was aching after her training. Lol, long time no training, it always happens. Haha. So, I massaged her arms and indeed, she felt pain. LOL! She said I didnt know how to massage! D: True, I aint a qualified one anyway. Haha! Well, after the girls camwhored, we went off to get Caroline a present from Caleb and Deanna. They bought her a stuffed toy. Not sure what character though. haha. They bought it from Mini Toons. There are so many shops there y'know! SO COOL :D But all those expensive shops uh. Haha. We then took a group photo to let Caroline remember us (: SOME CAUCASIAN TOOK THE PHOTO OF US. Some businessman. OMG, his slang super cool man! Then I thank him in a weird tone and wanted to shake his hand but he went off. BOOOOOOO D: Haha! Nevermind. Some other time then :D

We then went to the departure hall, where Caroline will be going in and will be seperating from us. Well, it was indeed a sentimental moment for everyone. Especially Narin for the fact that he is her boyfriend. Really really sad and emotional uh. Narin cried but his friends advised him to be strong. Stephanie cried and also Mariel. Deanna, I wasnt so sure. Janrez, Ryan and Lavin didnt cry but I am sure, like me, we can feel the distance inside our hearts (: Then the girls had to go to the toilet where they will be putting up their make up to cover up the tears and so that their mascara or eyeliner wont smudge. So, me, Ryan, Janrez and Lavin waited for them outside the girls toilet where we were playing with the water cooler. Haha! We seriously had nothing better to do. Caroline then called Janrez on the phone so that we can say our last goodbye bids to her before she takes off from Singapore. Mariel didnt want to because she dont wanna cry again, upon hearing her voice for the last time. Awww...

Janrez, Ryan and Lavin then had to seperate from us because they had to meet Ming Sheng and guess what. UNFORTUNATELY FOR ME, I was the only guy. haha. Have to tahan the girls I am around with. LOL! We wanted to take the train but then the girls wanted to go to Terminal 3 to have a sight of it. We reached there and the girls were simply WHOA-ed by the shiny marble floors. Haha! They were like, OMG SO SHINY! I CAN SEE MY REFLECTION! WHOAAAAAA! WEEEEEE! Fatin was playing hopscotch with the black tiles. LOL! Then Mariel was sliding on the tiles with her shoes. I did it, I cant D: Stephanie did it, she also cant. But Deanna can do it. So, I realised that me and Steph are tall people. Deanna and Mariel are short people. SOOOOOOOOO, there is a meaning. HAHAHAHAHAHA! Shall not mention it here :P Later someone will kill me uh :P

So, anyway, after having a sight of Terminal 3 and boy, the place is so nice even for an airport, we went down to the MRT station. Haha. Mariel was lazy to take the escalator, so we took the lift. We were alone in the lift, so the girls camwhored in the lift. STANDARDDDDDDDDDD :P So, after their camwhore session, which wasnt that long at all, PHEW, we went down. OMG, the MRT station is so damn nice too! HAHA! Niiiiiiiiice. ;D We then had a laughter about boarding into the train. Because the train was closing the doors already. Then Mariel, Steph and Deanna went in already but I saw Fatin just standing. Then I shouted her name and we rushed into the MRT perfectly on time. HAHA! Paisey man. Me and the girls then had trouble on where to go. To go Orchard to see the Christmas decors, Bishan Junction 8 or either AMK Hub.

While we were in the train, the girls, like always, camwhored ALOT. Haha! While me, I just sat down on the train like a GOOD, DECENT boy :D Haha! And I'll help them to take pictures too. Because I am Muhammad Danial! Professional photographer indeed! $10/per picture. HAHAHA! Noooo la. I just help them to take the pictures. Oh ya. MARYELLLLLLL! Haha. This great buddy of mine applied lipgloss on my lips! :O OMG, haha. Okay, gotta admit her lipgloss taste and smell like Bubblegum. WHICH IS GOOD :D Initially, I didnt want to but she insisted. Haha! So, yeah, I just let her do a makeover on me. LOL! I quickly rub it off but the shiny-ness of the lip gloss stayed sey! LOL! Nevermind. One day maybe I'll put gel on her hair :D TO BE FAIR :D

We then decided to go to AMK Hub because if we went to Orchard, we have so little time to spare. And we cant go to Junction 8 because Steph's sister is working there. So, a lil risky. So its a final decision to AMK Hub. We reached there at 7.40pm. I had 20mins to eat. I was in such a rush actually because my mum was waiting for me at home to celebrate my sister's Birthday. So, I didnt want them to wait for me for so long because I would feel bad. Somemore its my sister's Birthday. So, we ate at this foodcourt at the top level of AMK Hub. While eating, Mariel had to rush home too. Her mum smsed her with an EXCLAIMATION mark. Whoa, pretty bad huh. So we both ate fast and rushed to the MRT. And oh yeah! THE FOOD THERE IS SO NOT NICE D: BLUEK. So unappetizing man. EEEEEEK! So, me and Mariel went off first. Took the MRT back home.

Haha. Me and Mariel crapped alot in the train. We were talking so loud that even some people looked at us in the train but well, WHO CARES? LOL! We just love crapping. Well, sometimes she'll beat me up. Lol. She dropped off at Yishun but then she forgot to take her plastic bags of clothes she bought at Bugis earlier on before meeting us at Changi. Luckily for her, I was just in time to get out of the train and chase her back :D Haha! I am such a kind buddy, right? :D I called her and she waited for me at the office downstairs. Passed her her stuffs and bid her goodbye. Took the MRT back home and tadaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. That's the end of the day :D Haha. Not really. I went online and chattttttttttttttttttttttt till late night :D Weehoo! THATS ALL :D I hope you really read this post :D Byebye. Till next time ;D
