DEEPARAYA Greetings

I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy DEEPARAYA!!!!

England Misery

Being a English fan is very hard. I started supporting England at 1994. That's 12 years now and i still don't get on how they play. It seems they are always short on the creativity and vulnerable on the back line. No matter how many managers come and go, they are always the same. New faces but still no flair upfront. Free flowing football is seemingly eluding from the English game. The country that modernized football is now being a clown of soccer.

Not being able to defeat teams like Croatia. Like come on England get your grip on and stop wasting your time on the media. Start producing on the pitch like champions. Take a look at Germany it opened the eyes of football and showed how attacking play should be done. This is far most the scariest German attacking play. I am most impressed with them and i am sure that everyone agrees with me. Short of the World Cup but proved to the world that Germans are not to be taken out easily in soccer. It is not the might of the team but the unity of the team that will overcome any obstacles.

Back and now better

The reason i didn't blog for so long was the time loading to create the new posts. Preety long. Now with the new blogger beta it is now even faster. I can start blogging within minutes. Expect more blogging from me now.

The living costs in Singapore

I live in this island. 640sq km south of Malaysia. People may think that this island is a wonder to behold. But for the many locals here life is diffcult. Transport fares are constantly are on the rise and housing can cost you almost 3/4 of your lifetime savings. Buying a car is = buying a flat in Singapore. Although i am a Singaporean but just hear our pleas. We can't keep up like this with the goverment rising prices like these. I hope more Singaporeans will come forward and demand a decline in housing, transportation and other stuffs. We have to stand up and speak for ourselves. We control the goverment not the goverment control us. People learn driving less than $1000. But in Singapore $2000 and above can be the cost just for drving a car? I mean $2000 can do you wonders. Why spend it on a driving course so expensive and still even more on your brand new car. Hospital bill are also on the rise. Why can't we citizens live in peace?. National service for 2 years?. Ridiculious. Wasting our 2 years. Why can't we do it in 1 year?. And just forget it. Must do reservist up to the age of 40. I am sick and tired of living in this country. I want to be in a another country. Although it is hard at first but there is a certainty that i can enjoy for the rest of my life. Why must we suffer so much.?

Switzerland 0 Ukraine 3 (Colonge)
England 1 Ecuador 0 (Stuttgart)
Portugal 1 Holland 0 (Nuremburg)
Brazil 3 Ghana 0 (Dortmund)
Spain 1 France 3 (Hanover)

Nations that are knocked out
Sweden - Always seem to go past the group stages but wind up with tough teams in later stages.

Mexico - A north american favourite but seems to lack fire power

Australia - Incredible job of going past the group stages but only to lose out to Italy on a late penalty.

Switzerland - Surprised everyone on the group stages by topping the group but created a record the first team to miss all the penalties.

Ecuador - Did well. Lost to Germany. Then out of the World Cup by a Beckham Special freekick.

Holland - Remains as a unlucky team

Ghana - Did Africa proud. Beating the Czechs and USA. Losing out to Brazil.

Spain - Always seem to be overboard with the luck they have. Easy qualifying groups and group stages, but can't seem to click it on the knock out stages.

Nations that are going to the next round
Germany - Favourites to win. Their attacking play has given other nations to be feared of. Host nation, the whole country is behind them.

Argentina - After the whitewashing of Serbia and Montenegro they look to continue their form under Jose Peckerman.

Italy - Looking strong to win thier 4 World Cup despite Pesotto attempting to commit suicide.

Ukraine - Lost to Spain in the opening game, but picked up their gear and going past Spain who are favourites to win the World Cup.

England - Clueless of how they play but managed to top group B. Barely beat Ecuador and Owen out of the World Cup due to an injury.

Portugal - After a battle with Holland that ended in 4 red cards and 14 yellow cards, Maniche scored the only goal to seal the Dutch's fate.

Brazil - Need i say more the samba flair, 5 times World Cup Champions. Always the favourites to win the World cup again.

France - A lucky Houdini escape to the next round. Seeing off Spain. Zizou is back. And the 1998 World Cup champions hoping to see some kind of magic from Hendry as they face off against Brazil in the Quater-Finals.

Education in Singapore

I am an ex- ITE student. I recently finished my 2 years studies in Air conditioning and Refrigeration. I graduated in April 06. I went to look for a polytechnic to finish my education and get a diploma in some field. When I asked one of the lecturers there he told me that you can’t enter the field you want because we don’t accept ITE student and your field is not relevant. So much hope to enter a poly but then they don’t give a damn about you and they think ITE students can’t make it. You need certain criteria to enter the poly. But why you build such a big place for students to learn?. Ask yourself knowledge is ever expanding. You went to a technical school and study, but they won’t accept you because you are not a COM (Certificate of Merit) student or an “O level” student who has failed in his English, Math. I think why don’t you people give those who haven’t got a COM or students who failed in their O levels a chance in the polytechnic to study?.
If the O level student fails in English or Math give him a chance and you will see that people given a chance they will strive harder and will get a diploma, rather than those who waste their life in poly doing nothing but creating trouble. All I can say is education here sucks cause people want to learn you never give them a chance to study but instead get people who come to poly and waste their time.

Hey you lecturers think for yourself if your son or daughter ends up in a situation like the above imagine how would your children feel? How would you feel?. You people carry on like this you will go down in my record books depriving students who can study but just needs help to brush up their studies. All you lecturers think you are the greatest in your field but I promise you that you are nuts when compared to the other countries lectures, because they are far more experienced in the industry then you will ever will be. Anyway all you guys know are the basics. Show off that you are a lecturer in a poly, got car, a condo but in reality you are just like one of us. Step out of the poly life and see what people less educated than you can achieve. Their feat are more than you put all your years of teaching.

How much more i need to suffer?

The pain i through after my Ns is even more daunting one. So hard to land a job. So !@#4. No benefits, no payslip, cash payment. No company transport. Hell what i am doing to my life??. My path is a dark path with no lights shining. Someone help me. I just hope the day of my freedom comes soon enough for me. Falling sick often. I really need someone to help me boost my career and confindence. So little money but so many things need to purchase.

Driving Lessons

You know something folks, driving lessons should be a breeze in any country. Not here in Singapore. The reason I am saying this is that, I paid around freaking $2000 Singapore dollars for my driving lessons. Three times I took my driving tests and I failed in all of them. Reasons are as follows:

1. He charges $25 for one hour of driving
2. $48 for circuit and his fees
3. Never comes on time (half an hour late for both of my tests)
4. Never tells me the finer points of driving. (what to look out for those
stuff)
5. Ask him to book circuit it’s like waiting for a miracle to happen.
6. Test fees are $198 (including car insurance)
7. Gives me lame reasons that circuit is full that kind of pack of lies

After the third test my uncle called me, I told him the problem. He told me that he will talk to him. Then the next day my uncle called and told me I was scared to drive and every time I said I got something to do, and drop off early. I got so pissed off that I vowed that I never take any recommendation from anyone. It is best that I go and check it out myself.

Now I took another private driving school. It is cheaper, but the instructor is getting on my nerve. He tells me that I drive slowly on a main road. 20km/h. The traffic is heavy. How do you expect me to drive fast?. He keeps on yawning. The reason is that I drive slowly. I told him my parking is weak but he told me you park like a tortoise. In my heart I told myself, I rather park slowly than park fast. Came and tell me I cannot park straight and told me 7 tests all like that. You can never get a driver’s license. I told myself even I can’t pass my driving, I can get a technical job, unlike you who know nothing but only how to teach people to drive. Every single day this pain is getting worse and worse. Why you spend so much money on driving and you get crap shit people who waste your time, never teaching you the right way and not motivating you to get your license. Shit you people. I tell you this is the one of the worse country if you want to take driving lessons. Traffic police even tells me I need more effort. Imagine you gave it all and people come and tell you this thing? . Sucks!!! The driving experience here I gained sucks big time. Needless to say I had it with driving in Singapore.

Driving test Tomorrow

I will be taking my driving test tomorrow. Alas this is my third time!!!. I just hope i will make it through. I am keeping my fingers crossed. Hope there will be some form of mircale that can help me. Till then ciaoz.

Never lay down for anybody!!!

This is my lesson learnt from my experince learnt from the ouside working world. During my short stint as a worker in a company, I learnt that they are two types of people.

Firstly the people who befriends you and then the moment you need them the most they will ignore your pleas for help and dump you away, living you to your own miseries. Secondly the people who constantly peck you down for orders and make you do their job while they take a break. Believe me their break is not 10 or 15 mins, it is about half and hour or half a day, sometimes a whole day. I say to all this people you always give excuses and do nothing claiming you got tests to do family problems and other crap!!!!

Well you might escape now but then you will see the down side of your life. Those who work tirelessly they are the ones who will see the full potential of their capabilites. I say to those kind of suckers you can burn in hell as far as i am concerned. Don't come crying to those who have prospered in life. Cause you people made a fool out of yourselves. And i say don't do their jobs let them do it themselves. If they bribe you just tell them off, you are not my boss or my superior to tell me what job should i do for you. Can you do your job?. If you can't just sit down and watch the sky fall, perhaps it might give you gold coins.

The games just get better and better.

Games are getting better and better. It is like as if you are in the game. The graphics are really good. The characters are almsot real. With a good storyline you can't put down the game. You might even skip your lunches or dinner just to finish the game. The games we play are so good cause of two things: The console set and the persaon who do what they must do to make the games capture the minds of the audience.

With the release of XBOX 360, The competion is just heating up. Ps3 is just uprising the competion never ends to see the ultimate winner.

Women need to be respected

i am writing this post cause after a long month of doing school project i got finally some time to do posts. Anyway i shall keep blogging when i got free time. This post may offend some men. But this only written so some men who want to abuse their power on women.

Why god made two species? Male and female? Is it for men to do sinful acts to women, or vice versa to men?. Till today no one can come up with an logical answer. As far as i know nowadays men are the dominant species in this world. Women are also rising in the industries, but there are some men who ruin women's life. Why must some men do sinful acts like rapes, owning a brothel forcing women to work in them, molest so much other sinful acts. I just don't know what they find pleasure in doing this. If men were to be in a women's world they would know the pain they go through in their every day lifes. How would you feel if it was your own sister was a victim of one of the sinful acts mentioned above?. Wouldn't you burst in rage and want to murder that person?. To all would be women abusers just think for a moment what if it was your sister was the victim?.
