newcastle finally gets butt...

so for a bargain 2 million pounds, newcastle secured the services of long time manure, nicky butt for the next 4 yrs. newcastle's moving forward in the right direction. it looks promising, offloading the oldies with young blood. robert might head to espanyol, but tts not much of a concern.

will it finally be for alan shearer in his swansong season? he's just 28 goals away from becoming the top scorer in the history of newcastle, i hope that takes place next season.

so an update from yesterday, i started a mass packing, first my clearing my table of all the things i need to bring over, and then the clothes i probably wont wear for the next couple of days. i didnt expect that it'll be that much stuff, i still need a lot of necessities for residence hall room, so im kinda worried how i'll bring so many things and whether i'll get to store it or not. after that was done, i went to queensway to meet catherine, lorraine and rayvin. didnt really get to meet the teachers i wanted to say bye to, since cat was rushing off somewhere else. so we left for bugis, for her to check out the cute guy she spotted at an optical store. we had a small meal at delifrance and then i went to holland village with lorraine for a short talk. she has this way of having the right answers to my doubts about the future and it really felt nice to have someone give a realistic and assuring opinion about my queries. today, woke up early, coz we had to go back to gleneagles for the medical checkup analysis. it seems i need to increase my 'good' cholestrol and convert about 7 kgs of fat into muscles. that should start once im in university. i just hope the campus food will not be that fatty that i have to start going to a gym on a daily basis. i read in a magazine that atlanta was the 7th fattest city in america, with chicago being the 2nd. so you all can imagine how i put on so much visible weight in 3.5 months there. i came home, packed for a short while, then went to return the dvds, while at the same time talking to junwen. for the last 4 movies i could rent, i rented the spanish apartment, kolya, the tears of paradise and kandhahar. i thought i could borrow 5, which i usually do, so i wanted the get league of extraordinary gentleman, but since i had watched that already, i passed that. i knew i couldnt pass on the 4 movies i rented, coz ive had my eyes on those movies for sometime, if i left without watching them, then the name would probably keep surfacing in my mind and irritate the hell out of me that i didnt get to watch it. later, i went to junwens place coz he wanted me to check out 'talking cock' and its really a cock show. first 3o mins or so was pretty funny, but it just got lame and draggy after that. much like SNL, where the first 30 to 40 minutes is really funny, then it degenerates into more commercials and short skits. i was gonna meet cat, lorr and mr. roland tan at hv later, but i realized it was cancelled when i reached there. so i had to go to orchard to meet lorr and have dinner. a lot of things she say is super hilarious, i kinda wish i knew how it'd be like to be her, but at the same time, i feel im better off just knowing the things that happens in her life. but absolutely hilarious stories. then cat joined us and we continued talking. it was raining, after quite some time. felt nice to feel the cool wind, but was worried at the same time about this saturday. deja vu, it was the rain that made the bbq a wasted gathering. but this time hope it wont be the same. and for the first time that i can remember, i think i suffered a minor case of claustrophobia, coz there were so many people at the bus stop and the warm wind kinda made it real stuffy. i waited for like 25 mins for the 174 to appear, and it was no better during the bus ride. i was on super alert mode, looking from side to side with the slightest thing i could notice, and the people squeezing in and the lack of airflow didnt make things better. but at least i didnt suffer a panic attack and pass out.

k, i kinda wrote all that in a rush, its pretty messy and brief, but i guess that's how most of my entries are.
