alright,

3 days since my last blog post, tons of stuff happened.

  1. no more irritating flamers on my blog,
  2. i accidentally bought the most expensive pair of shoes ever,
  3. olympics are over, and
  4. the singapore table-tennis team manager got fired.

well, just gonna elaborate on points 2 and 4. yea, so on saturday i was at centrepoint cos my dad wanted buy a new wallet, so i was browsing the shoes there, and i saw the most amazing pair of loafers. its from this brand called Jshoes or sth like that, they're breaking into the singapore market, so their display was actually just a saw corner of the male section in robinsons. there was supposed to be storewide discount or something, so i just tried it out, and basically almost fell in love with it. then when i went to pay, it was S$179. i just stood there at the cashier, either from shock or from asphyxiation cos maybe i wasn't breathing. luckily for me, my dad said it was my BIRTHDAY PRESENT. i tell you, i'm so bloody happy, cos firstly, i can't afford the shoes, and second, it's been ages since i got a birthday present from my parents

on the matter of the manager being fired, i don't really have much to say. seems like singapore got the goods, and is trying to get rid of the people who earned it. okay, so you might argue that the medal is earned by the players. but who trains the players? the coach. who coordinates everything else? the manager. without the manager the coaches can be as great as heaven, but still the team would be useless, cos the manager MANAGES the team, thus the title. and especially after getting the first medal in 43 40 years. it adds on the whole how-ironic-this-is situation. plus that person that fired the manager, has barely warmed her seat as [whatever position she's at] for a year. it's totally like, what the hell.

nice impression on our future athletes.
