Rugby Mad

Suddenly I feel the need to buy a Manchester United jersey after seeing them unconvincingly beat Liverpool 1-0. But what a win for Manchester United. 1 man down with Scholes sent off for what seemed to be a punch at Xabi Alonso, Manchester managed to conjure up a win with a close range strike by O Shea. Temporarily 12 points ahead of Chelsea in the league, at least until Chelsea's match against Portsmouth, Manchester United have a good chance of lifting the Premiership Trophy for the 16th time. I think I'll get the jersey after getting my pay next month.

Pay? Ahmad has been working? Yes, my avid readers. I'm working at Solectron International at No.3 Joo Koon Circle. It's been an interesting experience as I got to meet some weird people. One example is this Malay uncle who have a tendency to go "That's the way...Aha aha." and with a population of mainly Chinese and Indians, the last thing you expect is Malay being used as a form of communications. The only thing that I could not stand is that this job requires me to stand most of the time and the feet have been complaining about it. I just realized I need to memorize more song lyrics as I'm running out of songs to sing while working. Well at least this gives me a reason to come out with some of my own versions of popular songs.

I've been told that I'm not a typical Malay guy as I cannot play soccer well, cannot play the guitar and get lost easily (somehow people think Malay guys don't get lost as they go everywhere on their bikes) . I also like to read and I play DOTA which is a game mainly played by the Chinese. Well, I guess you can't expect everyone of the same race to be similar. If every Malay girl was similar in Singapore, I think I shall leave the country.

Pul and me almost couldn't get a taxi last night. I think taxis are scared to pick up 2 Malay guys in the middle of the night at a lonely street. The funny part is I was just joking to Pul that taxis may not want to pick us up as they may think we will rob them . I didn't expect it to really happen. Oh well, the important thing is that we managed to wave one down and go home. Hopefully, next week will be as interesting as this.

well at least i know you know my name...
