The city of Manchester(sucks).

It's a rivalry that has polarised a city for 127 years, where the Reds of United take on the Blues of City. Always a highly anticipated, hotly contested affair, the match is one of the highlights of the season not just between the players, but between fans as well.

The match provides an opportunity for United fans to remind Blues supporters just how many trophies Sir Alex Ferguson's men have won in the past decade. And it is a chance for City fans to tease United stalwarts that their club is not actually in Manchester, with Old Trafford situated just outside the city boundaries. Much of the rivalry is also built around the debate of which club is the more successful, with each having extended spells of dominance over the other. United have been a force in world football since the 1990s, with the standout highlight being their treble winning campaign of 1999. However it was City who were the most successful during the 1960s and 70s, winning several major trophies.

The history of the derby stretches back to the 12th November 1881, when St Mark's entertained their visitors, Newton Heath LYR. The Heathens ran out 3-0 winners, and so a passionate derby was born. St Mark's would be renamed Manchester City while, over time, Newton Heath would take the name that would become synonymous with football the world over - Manchester United.

Since the Premier League was formed in 1992, United have had the upper hand, winning 12 of the 22 derby matches. Four of City's five wins have come at home, with the fifth being their historic 2-1 victory at Old Trafford in the 2007/08 season. There has been five draws. Since the turn of the millennium, arguably the most memorable contest between the two came at Old Trafford last season. On the 50th anniversary of the Munich air disaster, City completed the league double over their rivals, having already beaten them 1-0 at the City of Manchester Stadium earlier in the season. On an emotional day for all connected with the Old Trafford club, a minute's silence was impeccably observed, with both sets of fans given scarves to mark the occasion. United, in a replica kit circa 1958, lost their first match to City at Old Trafford since Denis Law helped to relegate his former club in 1974. Eriksson's men completed an historic league double over their rivals thanks to goals from Darius Vassell and debutant Benjani Mwaruwari. United's Michael Carrick scored an injury time consolation, but it was not enough to prevent City from denting United's title hopes. The Blues will be hoping they can stretch their impressive run against their neighbours just that little bit further when they take them on at the City of Manchester Stadium on Sunday 30th November. Fresh from a rousing 3-0 victory against Arsenal, Mark Hughes' men will fancy themselves to pull off another upset.

I was hanging up my laundry when i looked into the washing machine and saw my ipod earpiece. They went through an entire cycle, yet when i plugged them into the computer, they worked just fine. Guess when they were made, the manufacturers foresaw that idiots like me would leave the earpiece in the back pocket of our pants, so they made them washing machine-proof. Hah..

Hilary "Hypocrite" Clinton!

Guess what? Hilary Clinton, wife of ex-President Bill Clinton has been named as the new Minister of Defence by Barrack Obama! Y'know, it's such hypocrisy that makes our world so interesting and controversial. There used to be fiery battles, centering around politics, heated rallies with Americans, shouting in support of the speaker's every word. Now, everything has faded into the distance, now America is ready for a new ruler, one who will be revolutionary in his stride towards world peace, saving the failing economy and most of all, stop the fighting of troops in the Middle East. That is the promise the first black President, Barrack Obama has promised. Hilary Clinton and Barrack Obama used to be enemies on the political front, now they're practically eating out of each other's spoons. So you see, that's the irony of the universe. If someone shows you an open door, people will snatch the chance without even thinking about their past relationship.

America - Without doubt the most powerful nation in the world. Yet they are also biased, biased beyond reason! They have numerous submarines, patrolling the waters of the world, each containing dozens of nuclear warheads, each with the power to kill 50 million people, 1/3 of the population of Russia. Yet, they choose to meddle in the nuclear affairs of countries they consider a danger to the rest of the world ; North Korea and Iran. What gives them the right to boss these countries around? What gives them the right to demand that these lesser nations terminate all nuclear activity? They claim that they cause such interruption because they are looking out for the rest of the world, acting as protectors and safeguarding the remaining nations. Yet without such nuclear power, these drought plagued, epidemic struck countries are finding it hard to even have a proper meal. All this happening while the Americans sit in their fancy restaurants, expensive suites eating caviar, salmon and what not. Who is the terrorist, who is the one starving, who is the one claiming to fight for the greater good?

What if i say i'll never surrender?

If love were a species of bird, she'd be the most beautiful of all nightingales.
If love were a wave, she'd be the tallest of all tsunamis, like the feelings that wash me over when i see her.
If love were a television show, she need not be a blockbuster movie, just the very show that i could watch over and over again.
If love were a war, i'd be the commander of her fleet, her army.
If love were a species of dog, she'd be a bulldog, protective of her owner and not afraid to show her feelings.
If love were a building, she'd be the Louvre Museum of Paris at night, where the starry skies watch over her.
If love were a clothing size, she'd be size 6, just nice for my arms around her waist.
If love were a side dish, she'd be Kimchi, a right mixture of sweet, salty, sour and bitter, perfect with rice.
If love were a color, she'd be the brightest of yellows, yellow like nightingales, yellow like the butterflies fluttering in my insides everytime i catch a glimpse of her.
If love were a choice i got to make, i'd love her day in day out, no regrets and absolutely no chances i'd let slip.

Hippy chicks. Sassy dudes.

Hottest girl ever to walk the grounds of PRCS. Joyna Chua, i'll forever remember your funny actions and extremely lame jokes. We'll always be good friends okay? You have a special place in my heart my dear friend.

Latifah? Hope i spelled it right, I'll miss all the times we've had in art class. Umaimah, Suhailah and you, really hilarious. Continue staring at chinese boys okay? Hahaha! When i go back to visit next year, i'll see you in a sec5 class girl!

Shazreen! Shazreen! Shazreen! Prom queen aka MsCrestian! I'll miss smiling at you when we see each other along the corridors, while we're walking up the stairs and in the canteen. You look wonderful, it was my pleasure to have taken a photo with you babe! (:

The only Malay boy from my class that bothered to turn up, screw the rest of em'. Faisal, take care bro. I'll miss all the times we've had together, talking about soccer at the back of the class during lessons and definitely the awesome Thursdays after school when we played soccer together. Don't let what other ppl around you say get to your head, you're smart and you know it my friend!

Hey Grace! Thanks for letting me sleep every single chemistry lesson, hope it doesn't come back and bite me when i collect my results. She was always a great inspirer, no matter how bad my reputation in school was, she always said i'd grow up and be someone great. Thanks alot cher, i'll come back and visit you okay? Just stop calling "ah di".

This picture Weiji extra, i taking he just suddenly sehbok and join in, tsk! This is Mrs Pretty Sheri, taught me in sec3, when i was at the peak of my cheekiness. Ask students of 3/4 2006, they'll explain. Well, she has never shouted at me, never. She'll have a place in my heart as a godmother, take care my dear pretty!

June Henry, i'll miss the times when we happen to meet each other at the school bus stop. Then she'll ask me stupid questions that she already knows the answers to. She used to be the stuff of nightmares when i was in lower sec because i always played truant during cca timing. Sorry for the mess i made.

Taken at the E-hub toilet, i wasn't ready actually. I tell you Guo Xin thinks he's so suave, i wanna' kick him in the nuts so hard.

Outside Subway at Downtown East. I wouldn't allow them to take the picture without me. The sandwich was absolutely awesome. *licks his lips*

Mr Ling Yang Chang, best art teacher ever. His only rival would be Mr Razak. I really wanna' thank this special man for all the hard work and effort he's put into all the art students. He's ill and yet he painstakingly comes back to help us out. Thank you for the Gustav Klimt inspirations and the orange fishes. He hates Mr Ong too, no surprise there.

Coffee Express at around 3-4am. I'll miss seeing these faces from Monday to Friday from 7am to 2pm for the rest of my life. Friendships are forged. Brotherhoods are decreed.

Special girls Jia Hui and Denise. I walked halfway to 230, then suddenly decided to turn back and get a photo with them. Mustn't let something slip away. Was super happy i went back. See Alex's arms around them? That was supposed to be me you flirt!

Wonder whether Jia Hui will read this or not, muahaha! Two Mighty Short girls! They said they just happened to be passing by when they realised it was prom night. Yea right, you two were looking at guys right? Tsk.

Pretty woman, walking down the street! Prettiest nerd in the world hugged me first, so i returned the favour. She looked fabulous that day, stunning too. Boys don't drool alright, she's got high standards and many criteria that you have to meet should you wanna' date this girl. She'll grow up to be a fine young woman. Still rmb she cheated me in mahjong. But nevertheless, i'll miss her dearly. But she'll be fine, there're many boys waiting to catch her if she falls.

This is one spoilt kid i tell ya. Dennis ah Dennis, don't step pro in dota all the time. One day i'll put together a team that'll thrash your sorry asses back to momma. He's another i'll be seeing in a sec5 class next year, for sure.

Now this, is one special man/teacher/mentor/guardian/friend. Home tutor of 5/2, and forever will be. I wonder how many times when we assembled outside our classes for flag raising, and he's there telling my friends and i to keep quiet for just a few minutes so we won't get into trouble. Usually we obey, for like 2 seconds then we start talking again. He has a unique voice though, very soothing and serene. He always tells me the other teachers speak highly of me and have placed high hopes upon my shoulders. I won't let you down sir. I salute you my dear teacher.

Up till now, i still don't know whether Shahira is the class chairperson, or does that position belong to Nikki. Anyway, she's been with me for 2 years now, although i've known her for quite some time. She, coupled with her best friend Surianna always tease me, and i'll really miss them both after we go our seperate ways. I think i still owe you 2 bucks for the class fund right? Haahahaaha!

Let's just say, Pasir Ris Crest Secondary School would be a much nicer place without this man/tormentor/lecturer on stage/proud piece of shit around. But i do have to thank him for letting me come back to school although he expelled me in the middle of 2006. Mr James Ong everybody!

Gayboy, Mr Azhar. I still rmb the Rasputin song he played in my class when he was reliefing when i was sec3. I better go find that song soon, hahah! Was looking for Mdm Phyllis Tan when i stumbled upon him in his office packing something away. Or was he watching porn, it's for the audience to decide. His voice is so weird, there's like something stuck inside his throat or smth, i don't know for sure. But anyway, he'll be remembered too for sure. Wonder why so many female students and ex-students have a crush on him. For god's sake he's so gay!

What can i say? I've known this doggy since i entered prcs as a young boy aspiring to be someone big in this world, and now i'm leaving prcs as a rebellious young man and he's still there. Many would say, i spent 4/5 years in secondary school. But not this person, he'd say i spent 6 years(and possibly one more) in PRCS. We've had our fair share of arguments and fights(most notably the one during chinese class when we were sec4), but we're always brothers. Right Belvin Tan Beng Kok?

This is the best and worst English teacher you can get in PRCS. Good because he gives you a shitload of nonsensical jokes and lame stuff. Bad because he contradicts himself by reporting you to the discipline committee even though he claims he's fighting for the greater good. He taught me when i was sec3, and i don't rmb handing in much homework because even though he gave out threats, he never collected homework. So boys and girls, let's just pray hard and hope he is/isn't your English teacher next year.

One thing i really feel was downright unfair to me during my time at PRCS was that i was never taught by the one and only Ms Jennifer Chua. She's so old that she calls everyone "kiddos" or "children". She's got a great sense of fashion actually, which is extremely rare and almost extinct in teachers nowadays. I'm pretty sure if she had taught me Combined Humanites, i wouldn't have rushed like a rat running from a cat on the day of my SS and Geography exams to remember the facts. I still remember she wanted to punch me on the day of the prom. All because i told her not to eat too much or she'd get fat.

Greatest math teacher ever, thank god she took over our class midway through the year or we'd all have failed maths without even needing to collect the results. She's like a mother to me you know, and she's never once raised her voice at me let alone our class. Thank you for staying back until 12am in school to teach me math a day before paper 2. My cumulative graph question is sure to get fulls marks. I'll be visiting you often so don't miss my presense Mum. I'm still looking forward to going to your house(where your hot niece will be) and baking those oreo cheesecakes which could become a worldwide hit someday!

Know the advertisement where the chimpanzee goes : "Hi, i'm Paul!"? No.. Okay nvm forget it. This is Mr Paul Ng, he used to be so lenient until he was appointed Discipline Master. But he still closed one eye when he saw us doing stuff around the school that would usually get a normal student prosecuted and hanged. I wonder what he's doing with his hand, am i that hot? Muacks.

Okay guys, that's about it. There are a few more, i'll have to search through other students' blogs and friendster to obtain them. I'll be writing a thousand word essay on my time at PRCS, and it's wonderful staff and students really soon. As for now, that's all i have. Have to rush off to a wake now, meeting at 7pm, and i'm already running late.

As for my stalker, i know she's reading this right now, hahahahah! Meet up some time aight? You know who you are honey. And i'm not sad okay, i'm just feeling deep and sensitive right now. Sometimes i lie on my bed at like 2am in the morning and i just can't go to sleep because thoughts of my life at PRCS flashes in my mind, and i don't want to ever leave that wonderful place y'know?

Shower time. Care to join me?

Arrest the young and rich.

I think i'm gonna' give up on finding that lost charger. No more prom photos, boohoo. They weren't very nice anyway. I wasn't even in the mood to smile, it's like a plastic "wear-on" face. I don't even know what to say. I'm fresh out of the shower, hair still wet and messy. I'm half sittiing, half falling out of my chair. Got a can of coke and wondering what to say after this sentence. Hmmm, oh yea! I need a job so if anyone has any recommendations, kindly let me know. I'd prefer jobs that actually involve interaction, not like picking up phone calls (weimin's suggestion). Something like waitering at a restaurant would be awesome. And somewhere with lotsa ppl, not some freaking weird place that no one bothers to even think about. i want a new environment, i wanna meet new people!
