Wow , i had an amazing day today !
But at first , my afternoon was rather sucky i guess ?
First : Only got a lowly B for Effective Com ( partly due to the long speech )
Second : Some people in class are just annoying ? ( Seriously whatever man , who cares )
But ...
Evening was totally off the hook !
Yin and i watch shrek 4 at AMK Hub , ate pizza and we gave swing a miss as it was too late and we were lazy ....
but i really enjoyed her accompany !
She was all funny and treating me like a boyfriendny , not weird at all !
Hope you do that all the time in future , it would be so cool .
And yin if you are reading this ,
I saw/felt your effort , THANK YOU !
<3 YOU

Looking up
Things are finally looking up for me these days ...
Why ?
Hmmm ....
I caught up with Mircoeconomics and Statistics and gave them a RKO .
I didn't RKO Principles of Management but I'm getting there i guess ?
So now left the internet subject , but hey ! I tried my best to study for that as well .
Even my love life is picking up ...
I think i will give her another chance ? The LAST ONE i guess ?
But I'm sorry ...
Cutie Clement is dead ,
Meanie Clement is here.
Don't blame me though ...
I didn't stabbed my heart with a steakknife
It was you ...

You think you had me at my weakest ?
I'm more dangerous than i have ever been .

Crazy huh ? Im way above that.
Im obessed about you , Mr ICA 1 .

Even though you left me here , I have nothing left to fear
One of these days the sky's gonna break and everything will escape
and I'll know
One of these days the mountains are gonna fall into the sea
and they'll know
One of these days letters are gonna fall from the sky telling us all
to go free
But until that day I'll find a way to let everybody know that you're coming back,
you're coming back for me
and I'll know
One of these days the mountains are gonna fall into the sea
and they'll know
One of these days letters are gonna fall from the sky telling us all
to go free
But until that day I'll find a way to let everybody know that you're coming back,
you're coming back for me

A " Costly " World Cup
$70.62 ...
Sound familiar ? If you are a football fan like me , that amount would ring a bell in your head .
Why ?
If you want to catch all 64 live matches of the world cup in South Africa in June , be ready to fork out $70.62 .
Yes , we football fans in singapore rejoice when we heard that Singapore had finally secured the rights to broadcast the biggest event in world football after months of fruitless negotiation with FIFA . However it seems our happiness was short lived , wasn't it ?
Compared to the prices we had to pay 4 years ago , which was $10.50 for early birds , the figures now had increase by 7 times ! That is way too expensive , isn't it ?
Reading the newspaper in the morning , it seems that many coffee shop owners agree with me . It was reported that they to pay $2,888 for the 1st TV set in their coffee shop and $1888 for each subsequent sets . Misery ? Not yet , they have to $4,888 for TVs with larger screens ( 50 inches and above ) !
Not all coffee shop will be airing the World Cup without a doubt . Some refuses to be held hostage over the outrageous prices .
" I'm seriously considering boycotting this . I will discuss with other coffee shop owners to see what they intend to do , " said Madam Yeo
Why the huge increase you might ask ? Well , Singtel and Starhub reportedly splashed out a cool $21 million to secure the rights , a far cry from the amount of $12 million paid by Starhub for the 2006 World Cup . Thus , the huge inflation of the prices now .
Aware that they are penalised by FIFA , some fans labelled FIFA as a ' greedy ' organization for asking so much more than the last world cup .
In my point of view , i had to agree with them that the prices are ridiculous . Why ? With most matches kicking off past midnight , many fans will find it impossible to catch all 64 . Therefore it might be throwing money into the bin for many people . Worse thing is , not everyone can keep their eyes open ! It will be true in my case as I cultivated a early sleeping habbit and i usually close my eyes if the matches are boring . And since coffee shops paid a fortune to showcase the match , surely prices of food will increase . Can you imagine $2 for a cup of coffee ?
What really caught my attention of this news was that being a football - crazed fan , this news really affected me . I have to fork out so $70.20 to watch the world cup and trust me , that is more than my weekly allowance . Right now , I'm torn in between boycotting or paying a ' ransome ' . I mean imagine my shocked when on the way being driven to school , my mum asked me to cough up $70.20 . I openly refused and there may not have a shout of " GOAALLL " in the Tay's household in June .
My question for the writer of the newspaper will be : " What are the coffee shop owners going to do ? " Surely , their rice bowl will be threaten by this . Are they going to raise prices of food in order to make a profit ? I hope they don't , i don't want a $6 mince meat noodle .
If I'm in control of this , I will still maintain the prices of $70.20 . Many people would not like it , but i bid 21 stinking Million dollars for the broadcast rights ! Come on , have a heart , cut me some slack . I'm clearly taking a big risk as i wounldn't know if i could break even with the amount invested and the amount earned . Dont blame the telcos my friends , blame FIFA .
Poor Starhub and Singtel , being FIFA's fall guy .
