I've been fasting for almost a week now. My appetite is rather weird I must say: a bowl of cereal only, in the morning and a large feast after sunset. There's always no room for food in between these meals. And I'm getting lazy with my exercises. I do feel fat now.

The first game of the season will be on Tuesday and I certainly can't wait for that. It's time to show what I'm made of. I am disappointed though, that my first game will be a time when I'm fasting. Hence, I can't show my true potential. chanel handbags As in my playing time will be limited. The new team's pretty decent. We've got a backcourt that can push the tempo easily with running fastbreaks and a frontcourt that can rebound and score well. That's not to say that this team's better than last year's, but I guess we'll see. We've got a new starting power forward this year, who's always hogging the ball and it's certainly pissing me off. This guy just forces shots one too many times.

I've been stressed out recently, with school and everything. This week was mostly focusing on finishing my personal statement. It's been hard, but after five drafts, I think it's good to go. And the Biology test I had yesterday didnt help either, neither is me struggling with mechanics2. Life has just been too difficult, darn it.

What's keeping me sane? Oh, just Lost and Family Guy. I'm almost done with the second season of Lost, and Family Guy is just so funny. Someone's birthday is very soon and so so sad, I will not get to celebrate it with her. Jances Potter will be away this weekend on a Duke of Edinburgh expedition. Of all weekends, why this weekend? I know how it feels Jans and well, it's not a fun feeling. I had to endure a tough 17th birthday last year, in bogs and hills, without any family and close friends around. But Jances is a tough lady, she'll get through it yes.

I've just realised the components to an active blog website: determination and a high-speed internet connection. So, in other words, all you other UR's better start blogging. I never got to see the pictures of Kel's party. So, UR's back in Brunei, post 'em. =D

Have a nice day.

This week has been sad...
Why?

1) I just realised how much work I have - and it's piling up real fast. The most important being my personal statement and completing UCAS apply. Most of my friends are still in a dilemma of applying to Oxbridge or not. I honestly have to salute those people who are actually applying. You know who you are- Good luck!!

2) Andy Roddick lost the US Open to Roger Federer in 4 sets. Roddick must be wondering how many Grand Slam titles he'd have if Federer never existed. Federer is an amazing player but I'm just getting bored of seeing him win all the time. I still don't understand. Andy Roddick is suppose to win. He's the one with the big serve.

3) I won't be able to celebrate Jances' 19th with her! I was so looking forward to this!!!!! :'( *sniff* *sniff* and also teasing you since technically you'd be 2 years older than me on that day!! Heeheeee. I feel young.

4) Hazim - thank you for making me realise how fat I actually am!!! =P

The good news :-

1) I'm having basketball for games later. Need I say more?

2) Because Andy Roddick won the ATP Masters Series, his prize money for the US Open actually doubles! So, he gets US$1, 100, 000, which actually is only US$100,000 less than what Federer gets.

3) Roddick's ranking has shot up from 10 to 3!! Apart from being in the top 3, he's America's no. 1 tennis player!!! Yipeeeeee

4) The Bruneian girls have decided to do a dance for Charity Weekend. We haven't quite decided on a song yet, (which is most probably going to either be Dang Mengalai or Kampong Ayer. We need something up tempo!!) Any suggestions??

I can't think of anything else right now.

Jances - I have to admit that I feel asleep towards the end of the thrid set!! I feel like I've betrayed Roddick. Hahaha. You should have seen me trying to stay awake.

Hey y'all, Crikey! I don't know who to be more sad for.. Steve Irwin for getting a a sting ray plunge a barb through his heart or jances for getting into an accident and getting a 'V' on her head.. I would think the former.. Very sad loss..

Anywho's, school has been fun so far. One week of it and boy, am I having fun! Been listening to lots of songs lately. Good ones. Avant's Director, Cassie's Cassie, Keane's old Hopes And Fears album and Beyonce's new B'Day. Cassie's one is rather good - nice beats and good voice. Beyonce? Not quite what I expected from the superstar. She used to be so good at singing soft R&B songs. Now, she's singing lots of party songs. Head-aching..

Also, I've been doing rather lots of sports recently. When I just arrived, I was playing alot of football with my housemates. They are, how I would describe, quite ganas. My right shin, bruised up and green. I'm not exaggerating, louis vuitton handbags but I look like a brown boy with the Hulk's leg. Jefferson got himself injured in the knee last time, for banging it into the post. You guys had to be there. He was crying in pain (well, not exactly crying, shouting more like) and the others thought he was laughing for missing the goal. And everyone was laughng. Just sick I tell you, seriously. Now, he's healing it. Doing lots of swimming he is.

Currently, the basketball trials have been going on. It has been quite a fun experience. Lots of new guys, some with great potential. Really few though. Me and Andi will help pick the team I think. But it'll probably come down to the coach for the real 12. Good news - me and Andi have guaranteed spots in the team. Yay for us!

Last words - congrats to Jances on those excellent results, try LSE Jing, if you're still thinking of Actuarial Sceince, congrats on the offer Kelster, hope you're applying to UK Hui and cut down on the chocolate mh. Cheerio. Have a nice day lads!

P.S. I have a bigger room now, I'm enjoying having lots of Bruneian company now and I miss those long 'Life' talks I used to have with my rents back in Brunei.=D
