still having diarrhoea. damnit. been bugging me for nearly a week now. frustrating really.

watched "Gangs Of New York" last night. it was not bad. the cinematography was excellent. the acting however, left much to be desired. only Daniel Day Lewis was good. DAMN GOOD really. superb actor. totally deserved that Oscar. he made me wonder just who was the lead; he, or Leonardo DiCaprio. frankly, i think Leonardo's overhyped. he's only got one performance of note, in the role of Frank Abangale in "Catch Me If You Can". aside from that, he's just a good-looker passing off as an actor. like so many jokers out there.

watched the new boys Sporting Afrique play on Friday against Tampines Rovers. they had some nifty moves, and some players to look out for, but the passing, especially in the final third was lousy. the defending was way too slack, and in sixes and sevens way too often. Tampines punished them for that, and ran out deserving winners. 4-2. i think most of the coaches in the League were wondering how to contain Sporting Afrique at the start of the game. but after that largely below-par performance, they'd be worrying more about the champs. come on Rovers!

caught the qualifying for the Malaysian Grand Prix. Rosberg and Webber looked really quick in their Williams cars. Rosberg was especially impressive, considering this will be only his second Grand Prix. Fischella was also very quick, and should be someone to look out for. especially since he's on pole position. frankly, this race is hard to call. as many as 10 could finish on the podium. so it should make for an exciting race. just a pity i don't have cable. hai.

i heard the crickets at 11:55 am
