Went for mee pok in the morning. I always can't seem to finish it because its always too spicy for me... Even when Matt asked the guy to put less chilli. The band came over to work on songs again. Jammed one song with the drums and the people living below me came to complain. Gosh... I was already holding back ALOT!!! You don't see me complaining about construction noise... And it was only one in the afternoon...

Shen and Fabian had to leave earlier. So it was left with Matt, Maha, Ziig and myself... Exhausted myself trying to develop a song I recently wrote. Headed down to Huaying at around 5-ish for western food... Cheng joined us too. Gosh the food is really KILLER. I highly recommend it... Its at Jalan Masjid if anyone is interested. Opposite Kembangan MRT... Went home after dinner and tried to learn 'A Plain Morning' by Dashboard Confessional... Chris Carrabba uses a mad tuning.

Went for soccer at around 8pm. Found out that one of the the security guards of my estate turned off the lights and locked the gate of the court before I came down. I wasn't too happy with that... It wasn't the first time that this guy was getting on my nerves. It so happens that he works the night shift every tuesday. So every week he'll come and look for some reason to make us stop playing... So anyway, at 10-ish, this guard came along... So naturally, we stopped playing at started to stream out of the court. He simply turned out the lights... I don't mean to sound high and mighty here but where is the respect? Couldn't he wait for 8 seconds more for us to leave the court first? Thats when I lost my cool... I went to confront him and gave him a piece of my mind. He didn't seem to care. All he kept saying was, 'If you're not happy, go and complain!' in Chinese. Melvin kept trying to pull me away and I kept shrugging him off... The thing about Mel and I is that we know that by trying to hold someone back you actually make that person look fiercer... Haha.

Anyway soccer was quite fun... A lot of people turned up today. The quality of Kembangan FC has spread far and wide... Some of these people come all the way from the west to play soccer for 5 minutes at a time for 2 hours. I think I played quite well initially... Scored 2 nice goals... Have I mentioned that the goal was actually the basketball pole? Its about the same thickness as a lamppost or more like a traffic light. So its not that easy...

I was very encouraged by this...
