plaza by the park totally rocks. opposite the road from SMU, short walk from PS. damn cool. went there today with wilson to visit nick, this guy we met at HQ. cool dude. nabil now wants to transfer to plaza by the park, for the pretty girls of SMU. lol. didn't see any myself though; they were going for class, could only see their backs. hai. wilson had to work, so had my little sightseeing tour cut short. went with him to transit anyway, even though i'm not on shift today. went round the place. really nice when i'm not working. the book store has some interesting collections, but not varied enough. got bored after a while. gotta make it a point to go down to the tech store there some day; they seem to have some interesting gadgets...

Utd have completed the signing of Vidic. which is a good start to the new year. but the draw at Highbury against Arsenal wasn't. the team lacked spirit, and despite having numerous chances, we failed to convert a single one. at least it was tight at the back, with Brown finally showing some of the promise he seemed to have 5 years ago. Evra's probably on his way from Monaco as well, so it seems our defence will probably be better this year than last year. still, we do need a new defensive midfielder, a striker and maybe an attacking midfielder. we've got Park as a possible AM, but he may be needed more on the left if Giggs is out, so we need a permanent player to challenge Scholes there. hopefully a young guy. in the DM role, i think Pape Bouba Diop of Fulham might be the saviour. big, strong, and full of running. yea. i'd go for him if i were Fergie. for the striker, hmm, thats a toughie. with money, Carlos Tevez. but in the present case, a cheap but effective replacement, someone in the mould of Darren Bent. say what you want, but he scores more than Smith.

i heard the crickets at 5:49 pm
