Virtu (1%) Vs Fortuna (99%)

Good Morning!!! Yes this is officially the first morning where I have had the time to do anything! School is coming to an end! And yeah although I do miss home ... but I have come to love this city! Have been missing out on a few days of blogging but lemme fill you in. Hmm basically I spent much of the weekend trying to finish ALL my hw ... yesh they are ALL complete at last! Machiavelli is now the nemesis of my life! Dun wanna have anything to do with that loony philosopher for at least a few weeks!
Oh and guess wad? I lost my &*(&(*%$ handphone again! When I left the bus on Sunday ... I realized that I had left my HP on the bus! Haha when someone asked me why did I not check the area where I left my handphone I replied that it had driven off hehehehe! Alright I shoudn't sound so merry ... haha. Oh yeah that day presented moi with another string of misfortunes! After ten minutes into the game (the 11-a-side soccer that LSESS organised for London schools) I was really on-form BUT jon had to be all bloodthirsty and came running straight into yesh my torn and battered left knee ... AND boom I was on the ground in agony. Out of the rest of the tournament even though we had to stay to shepard the tournament to its conclusion! Didn't have any lunch that day but had bucket loads of junk food including SEVEN packets of walkers! Phew ... but overall it was fun ... these kinda crappy things do happen and its God's will I guess cos at the end we come out fitter, stronger and full of more experiences! Heh after that we even had dinner at Wong Kei AGAIN! Can't believe that Jon after being here for more than a year had not tried that famous or should we say infamous restaurant. For those of you back home ... I do have some fotos of this supossedly triad-run place. The service stinks for one thing. Haha but that's wad u pay for cheap food!
Yesterday ... I pontanged two lectures to get to a rugby match with Yvette and her fren Tien Tien (the often talked-about girl whom I have finally met!). Heih ... it was another day of bad luck ... YESH ... typical JUSTIN LUCK ... ALL BAD! We were late for the match for one thing and after that buses were diverted. But the match was pretty exciting. I mean the entire atmosphere was simply palapable even from miles away. It was an Oxford, Cambridge match. Great rivals if there ever were any. Cambridge went down 11-18. The crowad was simply nutty though. There were two streakers (I got pics hehe!) and on our side the Cambridge crowd was full of antics at one point even taking off their shoes to sing "shoes off if you love Cambridge ..." We went into the Twickenham Rugby Store which I never knew till now was the home ground stadium of the English Rugby team. Heh everything was as usual too ex ... but I loved the rugby jerseys ... at the end of these three years I will definitely get 1 I promise! After the match, we walked till we were lost and when we finally caught a bus to the town .... the picadilly line was SUSPENDED! Hah! Justin Luck indeed! We had kebabs whilst waiting for the line to resume and I ordered this 'large-size' lamb donner which was HUGE. The remains of which is still seating in the fridge awaiting late-night consumption. Anything which is large enuf to allow me to pack ... is trust me REALLY huge. We made our way to Harrods later on but guess wad ... or no need to guess .... it was closed! And same for Covent Garden too where we actually missed a stop and had to take a train BACK! Hahaha ... rather hillarious now that I think about it ... I mean it really takes a certain special level of 'ability' (?) to encounter so much misfortune in one day! Haha as Machiavelli says in life on needs not only virtu (ability) but oso fortuna (luck) and I have zilch! Arghhhh! Okay thats too much whining ... I shoudn't ... God has granted many luxuries and basically a Good Life to me.
Well I was exhausted from the last few days when I had ran on nothing more than a few hours of sleep and SHEER WILLPOWER! Hence I fell asleep within 10 min of reaching Passfield!
