Today.. is my favourite day after a long long time! Today.. I felt so relaxed like never before. Today.. I realised what I have always missed. Today.. I've found a place for me to seek solace.

Today.. after the Sports meet, I was all burnt again. Today.. after the sport meet, I went for lunch with my 2 of my new colleagues. Today.. after lunch I decided to go back to Spin for a visit. Today.. that surprised visit made me a very happy person.

Today.. I met almost everyone. Today.. after almost a month, I saw Richard King, Matthew( I can't remember his surname.. but not the blonde Matthew, though), had a long chat with Adrian, met Sharon, Tracy, Leon, Jerry, Patrick and many more..! Ooh.. I met Axel too! He's based in Mumbai and he dunch often comes to Singapore. So, it was a great bonus seeing him! And, Serina and hubby too.. another long chat session.

Today.. I was supposed to meet my 'svigerfar' and somehow, he have forgotten that he had a meeting. But, in the end.. we still managed to meet up for a short chat. There'll like be a dinner meeting sometime next week or the week after.

Seriously.. I felt so comfortable and relaxed. I just loved my regulars! Maybe, I should just decorate my work station with pictures of them?? I guess that will be a nice idea! I will do just that...

And finally, to round the beautiful day.. I had dinner with my favourite colleague cum friend! It was really very relaxing... Maybe I have known all these people for a long time..

I will pop by Spin as often as possible... I miss you people!!

I've learnt my lesson. Never to be a glutton! I unknowingly ate a crab pie earlier on. I only found out that it was crab meat when I have eaten almost half of the pie! I had a choice of stop eating it or continue, right? So, I decided to continue because the pie was nice. But, for your information.. yours truly is allergic to seafood!

I really missed the taste of crabs and prawns which I have stopped eating since I was 4 years old or something because of the allergy. That means, almost 2 decades ago!

Now.. because of my greediness, I am suffering from itchiness and a sore throat! I fear I will lose my voice tomorrow! Urgh!!

Time: 5:32:00 PM

It seemed as if.. I no longer have leisure time. Its work, work and more work! Blame me for being fickle-minded and blame me for being such a perfectionist! I kept on changing the stuff that I want to do and make it a point that the plan will turn out perfectly.

Its quite bad actually.. but its the beginning. I am sure everything will changed for the better once I am stable.

This week have been quite packed with lots of work to be done. Luckily, there is no football going on.. other than Euro qualifiers which, I have said before, it is in a stage where I am not interested (Holland have qualified anyway..).

Furthermore, I am super kiasu.. I have planned my lesson plans for 2 weeks! Which, will definitely help as we cross over to next week where the Champions League is in the important round. I hope everything will proceed on smoothly! Hahah...

School Sports Day tomorrow. Fun and exciting. Initially, my duty is to be the line judge but now, it had been changed to time keeper. This two position have been my 'permanent post' since school days.. but now, I am doing it as a teacher. Haha...

Its back to work again.. need to clear all stuff so that I can enjoy my weekends! Did I hear Man Utd is playing this weekend?????

Just thinking....

If.. you have a son/daughter whom is not yours biologically but you love him/her deeply and when everything seems so perfect, came along the man of your dream..

You loved the man deeply but you loved your son/daughter deeply too.. However, you also have a career which takes up most of your time while the man of your dream is a frequent flyer based abroad.

It is only during the school vacations that you can spend time with your son/daughter and also visit the love. What will you do?

Just think... It may happen to anyone of us one day... you'll never know.

Time: 5:13:00 PM

Last night, I managed to sleep early. Just before half past 12. Its not that early but I'll try to sleep earlier today. Hopefully by 10 pm?? I'll try..

Last night, I have this weird dream. I dreamt of my Aussie customer. And, they were all at Spin but this time, Spin was no longer a cafe. Instead, it was more like a bar. It was dark everywhere. The Aussie guy wanted to chat with me but I declined because I was doing some work.. I told him I'll go over to him once I am done with my work. Weird...!

I guessed, I am feeling the heat now... Pimples are popping out everywhere on my face. Another reason for me to indulge in chocolates to make the pimples go away! Chocolates just make my day!

All right, back to lesson planning.. !

I am trying to sleep early today. If before 12 am and after 11 pm early.. then, that will be my definition of turning in early.

I bought what I wanted today.. but I never even stepped into Page One! *sheesh* Its alright.. I'll make a trip there probably this coming Friday after the Sports Day. I better note that down.

Lesson plans almost done.. 60% . Just need to put my words into action and practice. I should complete it by Tuesday. I'll need some clarifications and everything should be alright. Insya-allah.

************************
I know in my earlier post I have said something about getting away from that person lest I fell deeper into the love triangle thingy. Just a day after saying that, and how depressed I was after that incident.. things went the other way round. Instead, we both were gluey to each other and I am feeling suffocated. I fear I am too clingy to him.. But, the more I tried to stay away from him.. his images kept on playing on my mind!

When 'R' said that I am a home wrecker, I was nonchalant about it. Cos' first and foremost, they are not married. And, yes.. it has always been my principle not to hurt another woman's feelings but what if this woman do not even appreciate his presence?

'R' offered to put in some good words to 'P' if I managed to hook him with this particular girl. I gave him a scolding! If I say that I have never liked 'P', it will seemed like a lie.. there was a point that I do like him.. but then again, it was all thanks to 'R's' influences. Now that 'P' is back to his home country, I do not feel anything for him and whenevr we chat online.. I felt bored. I no longer enjoy that kind of sparks we once shared.

As for 'C'... yes I have not talked about him for quite some time now.. He's really busy! And, he's adjusting to life in London. Good luck to him.. I am not going to bother him because I know what type of person he is.. when its time to work, it will be just work and work alone and when its time to party.. haha.. you'll see another him.

Let's just see what's in store for me tomorrow.. Life is so unpredictable.. Another working day!! All the best to myself!

Date:
Time: 12:44:00 PM

Just a random post....

I am feeling delighted.. still am! But, I got to snap out of fantasy because I have tons of work to be completed.

I am feeling a lil' disappointed because I have not told him about the good news. Just realised that he got to work! Urgh..

I have completed about 50% of the lesson plans for the P3s.. and I totally forgotten about the P2s.. Ooh oh.. But fret not, I have completed about 50% of the lesson plans as well! Efficient I must say...

Going to get some stationery AGAIN.. so Page One will be my destination in a while.. and once I do my art work, I shall more or less complete my lesson plan. It should be completed by next Monday, anw.. will get it done by tonight! Hopefully.. no disturbance!

Luckily, there's no soccer games this week.. I know the Euro 2008 qualifiers are going on... nothing exciting at this stage so I am taking the opportunity to recharge.

I am on the verge of being extremely broke! Because.. I've been spending all my monies on stationery and Page One! Damn it!! I guess by end of this month, I would probably have owned a bookshop! You see... I have a set of stationery each at home and on my school desk. So, whatever I have.. I have it in pairs BECAUSE I am so freaking lazy to bring it back! Hahaha...

I am in an urgent need to get another dictionary though... I gave mine to my niece thinking that I won't be using it anymore.. and a friend just donated hers to me BUT still.. I need another copy! Remember, one for home and one for school! But, that can wait..... I guess I'll put the dictionary in school and while at home I'll rely on the Internet.

This stationery nonsense got to stop or else I'll spend all my $$$$ on unnecessary stuff! Urgh...

I am getting outta here.. I want to go shopping!!!!

To all the great people in my life as well as to the fantastic people who have been giving me encouragements all these while,

I would like to say a very very BIG 'thank you' to all of you for standing by my side and assuring me that I'll pull through during the darkest moments of my life.

Some of you might be aware that eversince the MPT, I was at my lowest as the tough examination questions have killed my confidence and enthusiasm. Each day, I lived in fear.. And, I only have myself to blame for being so cocky and pretending to be a smart arse! All these while, as I deceived myself to be a smart arse, I also have forgotten the fact that I have actually been away from the acedemic world for more than 2 years!

And, as the exam date approached nearer, I was still deceiving myself and refused to revise or at least do some reading. In the end, my morale took a beating and I was traumatised!

As I awaits for the results, I went around gaining sympathies from all that I know. These people were just fantastic, I must say! They continued to assure me that I'll do just fine and I'll pull through the examinations. But, if these people were my former teachers, they'll just be sitting at the corner and have a good laugh because I deserved it!

However, truth to be told.. I never like any of my teacher except for my P6 form teacher and my Pre-U maths teacher whom to me, were the most genuine teachers who have left a great impact in my life!

Today, I received the most inexpensive 24th birthday gift, though a tad too belated. Nonetheless, its better late than never! People... I HAVE PASSED my MPT despite deceiving myself!!! I am so happy! Because, I am a smart arse afterall!! Hahaaa..

I am delighted because by passing this MPT, the chances of me getting into NIE in July is very optimistic provided I will not get any adverse report from the Principal.... Therefore, I am not so stress anymore.. Thus, I can focus well in my lesson plannings. Yipee!!

Next, I am very satisfied with myself because I did not disappoint any of my regulars who have great belief in me that I'll succeed. Thank you all!! Though, I am into teaching now, I still missed you people deeply! That's for sure!

Anyways, I still do not believe that I actually have cleared the exam despite the tough exams questions, the craps that went on before and during the exams, the number of questions that I never actually answered... well, that's the makings of a genius, right? Triumph despite all odds! Whahaha...

****************************
I am thankful to all for standing by my side all these while. And, to God as well for granting me the level of intelligence and a chance to prove my worth! I will make a full use of this, I promise.

Things seems to be rosier now.. I hope it continue to be this way.. I can't handle anymore emotional disturbance for now. Let me have my peace...

Time: 5:28:00 PM

I am really in deep SHIT. Mentally and emotionally, that's it. Last night, I had planned to turn in at 10 pm as I have to report early for work on Fridays. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, I ended my day at 12 am. However, I could not sleep till 2.30 am! And, I was supposed to wake up at 5 am! WTF???!

Just minutes before I reached school, a colleague called me informing me that our other colleague is on MC and asked if I can do relief for our colleague. I am alright with doing relief BUT was definitely overwhelmed by the thoughts that I am going to TEACH! For the first time, in my life! Haha..

The lessons were all back to back and I hardly had any moments to eat! In fact, as I am writing this, I have not eaten yet! And, since my dinner appointment with a friend have been cancelled (luckily), I am going to eat in a while.

Its ironical... when I was working at Spin, I seldom drink coffee except for my MICL w/o the drizzle which I hardly have after last year's fasting month. But, ever since I went for the TPP, I am drinking lots of coffee to survive! Maybe, I should just buy coffee oil and sniff the aroma! hahaha...

******************************
Despite the hectic day I had today, I was glad that it happened. For me, the opportunity came in a handy. Not only, I could use this opportunity to get me familiarise with the lesson proper, it kept me occupied and thus despite only having 3 hours of sleep.. I am energetic!

The students are cuteness! But, talking to a hyperactive almost turning to 3 years old boy (yes, the lil' imp) is so much easier to handle compared to the students I met today. The lil' imp is no angel when it comes to disciplining though!

Anws, the day begin with relieving the P1s. There is this pair of twins which is really hilarious but I got to keep my cool. I am not sure what happened at home and they actually fought. So the younger brother glued the elder bro's book. And, when I asked the elder bro, why he did that? He told me that it was the younger bro's creativity! I went to the younger bro and asked him why he did that? He was on the verge of crying and whispered to me because the elder bro have torn his work! I was like OMG!! Haiz.. cuteness!

Then, there was this gal who was so talkative! Asking rubbish all the time and loves telling tales! *smack head*

Next, I had the P4s.. bunch of hyper kids. They tried to 'test water' with me. I told them to stop their nonsense because whatever lame reason they have given me, I have also told my teachers before! But of course, given my intelligent answers and the 'ooh she's so innocent' look, my teachers believed me. But, to try to bluff an expert, hahahaha.. try again!

You know what? They were playing erasers and dared to tell me it was project work! OMG!!!!

It was the P2s.. same. Tried to fool me but they have forgotten that actually, I was in their class to do lesson obsevations! So.. all the students FAILED in their missons! Haha.. Ooh yeah.. one more thing, a student said I was nice and not fierce because I never scolded the class. I told them, if you people behave, there will be no reasons for me to scold you all.. but if you all misbehave, try me! And all was quiet!
********************************
I am feeling better today.. Because for some reasons.. I guess its FATE playing a fool on me and him. After so many years and one BIG Round (well still trying to complete the round), it seems like the circle will end with just me and him in it.

I was talking to "R" yesterday and told him the whole thing and what I have planned to do. "R" called me a 'homewrecker'! I told him, say whatever he want to say.. I am not wasting anymore time. This is the final chance...
********************************
I have received an email from my 'svigerfar'! Cuteness! He so missed my lattes cos I am the only one who bothers to do all the kinds of latte art on his coffees! And sometimes, the silly looking ones! On V-day, I made him a heart shaped which was so cute! I just missed the guy! I missed the son too, of course!
*********************************
I guessed I will just do my lesson plannings and catch some sleep later. Got to update tons of stuff and I am really glad Thank God Its Friday!

This few days have been turbulent for me. There was a point where I felt as if I was on the top of the world while at another point in time where I really felt I was down in the dumps. Thus, I have been typing loads of rubbish on my blog. In fact, there were some post which I have written but I did not published it for some reasons. Anyways.. just ignore me for now. I am not asking for sympathies; read if you all want, leave if you think I am talking nonsense. I am sorry.

Actually, I am still trying to adjust to life after Spin. And, with all the regulars still actively keeping in touch with me, makes it more difficult for me to forget the past. But, I am trying very hard to adapt to the new job. In fact, I am proud to say.. I am doing fine on my second day. I am coping well.

A student almost tried to test my patience today. But, I don't blame her. She can't read. Its sad to encounter such a situation especially in today's society. I don't believe she's stupid. I am not going to say my students are stupid. Never EVER! I sees her as a challenge and I am going to work on her. I know I am on the short circuit side.. but all that is just for a short while. I'll do all that I can to guide her. I believe I can do it!

I have a clear idea of what I have to do once I start conducting the class in two weeks' time. I'll try to do 4 weeks of lesson planning. I can do it!!

Sorry people.. I am trying to boost my confidence!

******************************
He messaged me today. I am trying to stay away from him because I know, the more we talk, the closer we'll get. And, I know.. the timing is just not right. Maybe, we should just live our life the way it is before that meeting. *sigh*

Today, I finally got in touch with my 'sveigerfar' (father-in-law in danish). I didn't know that I actually did not gave him my contact details! Haha.. so forgetful of me! And somehow, maybe my email that I sent him have went to his spam folder. Urgh..!

He's in New Zealand now.. on business I supposed. Just wondering.. what's up in New Zealand recently?? So many people that I know have been going to New Zealand.

Anyways, the main point now is.. not about New Zealand. In fact, I am happy to hear from my 'svigerfar'. I missed those days when I teased him like mad! And the time, he really brought Alfred to meet me.

I missed everyone!!!!
**************************

To all.. I am sorry if I still have not reply to your mails, tags or comments or whatever along that line... just not in the mood. Sorry!!!

I want to have Marque & Marcie with me.. but I fear I would lose them. I can't afford to lose them cos money can't replace the value it holds. But looking at Marque and Marcie gives me the feeling of joy yet it saddens me at the same time. You all must be confused.. Let me explain.

Marque is actually a koala bear while Marcie is this tiny cutie yellow bear. Ok, they are toys or teddy bears, you might call them before someone come up with the ideas that I am keeping real life bears! Haha..

Though they are just teddy bears.. they hold a significant value. Marque was given to me by one of my Aussie customer while Marcie is actually my lil' imp's prized possession. Its also my favourite because its yellow in colour! One day, I was clearing my room when the koala and the bear met. I decided to name them and coincidentally, we bought Marcie on my birthday. The koala bear is named after my customer but with an upgraded version. Seeing Marque and Marcie makes me miss them both very much! Hence, I won't take the risk!

Conclusion, Marque and Marcie shall sit by my bedside!

Time: 5:25:00 PM

How come I am feeling the way I am now..? Why did we meet again? Why did you tell me all those stuff..? Why did the feelings came back all over again? Because of you... I was all ready to give up "C" just for you. But, just when I was ready.. she came back into your life! I am not upset but disappointed. This is not the first time it happened. Its either because of me or because of you. Why are Fate so cruel to make us go through such a misery? Are we really not meant to be together, even if its just for a brief moment? I am not sure... Maybe, I should just stay away from the male species for good.

**********************************
Last night, 'R' messaged me and asked if I have nice and single girlfriends. To my horror, when I scrolled down my contact list, the number of girlfriends that I have is very limited! And, those who were on my list were all attached or married! The rest or rather the majority.. was all guys. No wonder.. I am losing my feminine touch! *cheeky grin*

***********************************
I went to the classroom today. Just observing. Quite interesting. It had been a while since I enter the school environment.

I have nice colleagues. The students... I love their inquisitive look as they try to figure out what kind of person I am. I looked like a time bomb! Its fun. But I felt comfortable when the kids turned behind to sneak a peek at me! It likes being an exhibit! *blush*

**********************************
As I am writing this... I am feeling dizzy. It got to be the weather!! And, but of course.. due to the sad news that I received just now. Just a bad start to the day.. I'll just try to sleep in a while..

Time: 6:23:00 PM

I seriously wondered.. how do girls actually managed to wear heels all day long? Comfortably, that is. I used to love to wear heels but have not done so for years, now. And, I thought.. why not give it a try after so long? Guess what happened? I got this cute BIG painful blister on my right foot!

And, I was comfortably dressed in jeans and T-shirt for the last day of the programme. I was seated comfortably with the guys talking about football. I was actively participating in class. And... that was so just my REAL personality!

Maybe, like a friend have said.. I've lost my feminine touch! haha.. I am not sure whether to laugh it off or start serious thinking about it. I am not saying that I am into lesbians and all.. BUT rather, I prefer subtle feminine touch. I no longer like to dress up and all.. I just do it for comfort and what I seemed as nice and presentable. I hate to think of what to wear!!! Anyone wants to be my image PA?

***********************
I have not slept since 3.30 am. And, I am not sleepy. I better do some homework to make my grand entrance tomorrow! Like REAL!!

Again, the food sucks! Went all the way to Great World City.. Sadly, the place is undergoing some renovations. Hence, some places are gone. Therefore, nothing fancy my palate! Upsetting!

************************
I have decided. I am going for my daily runs as of tomorrow. That is the only way for me to summon a higher level of oxygen circulations! And.. only then, I can keep up with my nocturnal days! School Days = Nocturnal days = March-May = Last stretch of soccer season = Late nights!! Hahahhaa...

Time: 6:26:00 AM

Just killing time..

Man Utd have advanced to the semi-finals of the FA Cup! YaaaY!! Hahaha.. I smell the treble coming to Old Trafford! *Sniff* *Sniff*

This means, the match between Chelsea in the EPL will be postponed! How interesting the match gonna be?? I am excited!

My 10th year as a Red Devil fan. I am excited but Sir Alex is more excited. Did you all see how glad he was when they won the game? Just like a little boy getting the most priceless thing on Earth after begging his parents! Haha..

I won't analyse the match now.. maybe later or maybe not at all.. I am sleepy but I have to attend my class! Good luck to me!!

I'm back...

Haha.. Did I say.. I got a good start to the morning? Yes, I did.. it made my day BUT the blardy gates of heaven decided to open up the moment, I stepped my legs out of the door! Urgh... I've got no choice to bring the blardy unglamourous umbrella! I wished I could avoid that but unfortunately, I couldn't as the venue is located quite a distance from the bus-stop and there's no shelter! Urgh.. but, the best part has yet to come.. the rain stopped when I reached. In fact, from a heavy downpour, it turned out to be a drizzle when I reached downstairs. $#^^$**!%%!

Anyways, 7 years ago... I did went to the venue to catch a women's soccer match. There was a heavy downpour but I was so 'smart' to walk under the rain till the next bus stop. So, the 'smart' yours truly ended up with a high fever for a week. But that 'smart' yours truly, have become smarter, so she decided to bring the unglamourous umbrella! I really pray hard that I do not have to bring the umbrella tomorrow.

*****************************
The course went on great. I've got a good speaker who have vast experiences. He's such a great man:- humourous and entertaining. I do look forward to tomorrow's class BUT not the presentation part! Yikes!!!

Will do some reading to equip myself for tomorrow's class BUT importantly, sleep as early as 10 pm and wake up at 4 am to catch the game!!!!

*****************************
Will update more later if I am free.. Now, I am extremely hungry because the food available at the canteen was rubbish, unfit for consumption! And, I was just too lazt to walk out as the time given is only an hour. I am having my breakfast, lunch and dinner now!

Taa!

A quickie entry...

First day of work. I am not sure if I am excited or what.. ? I woke up pretty early. I had a nightmare last night. I dreamt that I ran all the way to the course venue. The course venue was supposedly be at Grange Road. But somehow, I alighted at Clarke Quay and ran all the way BUT I was lost. And.. I ended up in this familiar place which I remembered I dreamt before. But, I can't remember where it was...

It had been a great start to the morning.. I hope it will be a good learning point during the course. Will update later on..

Ayte! I got to put on my make-up.. RED Nose on my first day?? Luckily, I am not meeting any students today! Adios!

Life have been unpredictable.. I have had my fair share of obstacles. But, it had been great since the last few months of last year. And, right now... I am still enjoying it very much despite some uncertainties.

I have always have this idea about life being a crate of secrets where we have to unveil it slowly as the days past by. And.. I have always thought that, I have came closed to unveil my life's secret. It proves not to be...

Somehow, after what happened a few hours ago.. I know I am near to unveiling one of the secrets of my life. Its all up to me now.. But there is a heavy price to pay for that piece of secret. And.. keeping that secret a secret requires a lot of emotional perseverance. So.. what would you do if you were in my shoes?

Will you search for the answer to the secret or let it remain the way it is.. ?

One more day.. and its off to school AGAIN! It may sounds as if I am complaining.. Yes, I am.. maybe because I am so used to the leisurely lifestyle that I have adapted for the last 3 weeks. And, for me to assimilate myself to a new environment will take some time. Now, the table is turned. I am no longer the student BUT the teacher. Urgh... I hope I can manage this new responsibility well enough!

I'll definitely miss my PC and blogging once school starts. I may not have the time to blog as often as I wish. I'll get by.. I am sure I can. I'll still missed my Spin customers. Yet, I'll still squeezed in some time to keep in touch with them. That's my promise. I just realised.. not only that I do missed my adult customers.. but I do missed the young ones too!!

I missed Pearl, who always so chatty and speaks fluently though she's barely 3! She does ballet and always dance for me. She kisses me and best of all, she knows how to pronounced my name, CLEARLY. She attends playschool twice a week but she told me she hates school. I told her.. its just the beginning, you'll be fine sweetheart!

Then, I missed my Princess Sarah and her bro, lil' William. Sarah is of the same age as Pearl but is more shy and sensitive. But, she's more outspoken now as compared to a year ago..she never wants to talk to us.. William is 1 now. Sarah is such a sweet girl.. gave me a stalk of flower the other time for no reason.

Next, there's lil Poppy.. she should be 15-16 months old now.. Another cute lil' gal. Small for her age cos according to her parents, she hates to swallow but loves to chew. So, I told her dad.. buy her chewing gums. Hehe.. I am evil!

There's also Shawn.. He's 2 this month. He tried very hard to talk but none of us understands what he's trying to say. He's hyperactive! He loves to play with us and we too loves to entertain him. Haha..

There are other lil' customers too.. oopz! I almost forgot! How could I forget my lovely, Alfred??? Haha.. He's 7 this year. He's shy for his age.. and he's so cuteee! Claus would have a headache if I really got after his son! Haha... I sounds like a paedophile! Sorry, I am not.. just for the fun of disturbing others. Haha..

As for now.. I'll just keep a positive mind. I'll definitely update this blog with my new life stories...

********************************************************

Last night, I didn't sleep till about 2 am. Too busy talking with him... And, I was supposed to wake up at 7 am to get ready for the camping trip. I know, I am gonna suffer especially without sufficient beauty sleep.

The head was hurting when the alarm rang at 7 am. I saw a message on my mobile. It seemed that my cousin and family went home at 3 am thus cancelling the trip. Good! Luckily, I decided not to do any baking. Or else, all my effort would be wasted. I continued to sleep till like 11 am. When I woke up, I contemplated on going to her place to pass my nephew his present but then, seeing that the sun was already so high up and there's a game at 8.45 pm, I knew I won't be able to come back in time.

So.. I laze around. And fell asleep again! I know.. I sounds like a PIG! Haha.. But, on account that I am only left with this weekend to enjoy MY life and I have been having several sleepless nights, that nap came as a bonus! Hehe..

I caught the game.. will comment in a while. I finally did my sewing! Phew.. I didn't know I can sew quite well. I really sucks at sewing when I took Home Economics in Sec 1 and 2. I seriously still don't know how to use the sewing machine cause I fear I will sew up my fingers!Anyways, I have got all my stuff ready for school! Accomplishment & satisfactions.

*********************************************************

Man Utd hosted Bolton a while ago. Everyone tipped United to beat Bolton 3-1. But I seriously have doubts with that scoreline. Not to say that I have lost faith in my team, but let's be fair. Bolton, as we all know is a good team which may spring in ome surprises against top team like United. Furthermore, with United's list of injuries and again, like I say.. Tomasz Kuszczak in goal, I don't believe that there will a clean sheet tonight. I was thinking of a very slim scoreline.. 2-1 (to United of course).

The game started. I am disappointed that van der Sar is still injured but overall, am pleased with the starting line-up. Sir Alex received the February's Manager of the Month Award and my Giggs got his Player of the Month award. Nice!

Giggs was in the striker position today.. I think, though he's capable in that position, he have lost the striker's instinct. He's more suitable in the wings but no choice.. no striker.. Just look on the chances he missed.. but still he's my favourite player! I could see how much he have aged..

Anyways, right from the start of the first whistle, Bolton have threatened to score an early goal. Almost. And then, United missed a golden opportunity in the 6th minuted when Park Ji Sung fired over. But before they could settle down in the match, captain Gary Neveille went down under the challenge of Gary Speed. At first glance, it seemed just a minor tackle but when I saw the replay it was quite a challenge and saw how Neville fell and twist his foot. And now.. it seemed like he had torn his ligaments and will be out for 3 weeks. Another injury! Sigh..

But his injury didn't affect the morale of the team. Perhaps, the players heard my pleas. Remember I said they were missing the 'free roaming' style of play? I hope they play the kind of attacking play they showed in the friendly against Europe XI. And, that exactly what they did today. Everyone had a good game. But again.. Kuszczak fumbled most of the time but he's really lucky to get away with it. He could have saved the penalty! Yes, its not his fault that Bolton was given the penalty.. but seeing how the ball trickled in.. just makes me hate him! I know he was in an awkward position and if he had stopped the ball, he may sprained his wrist.

Actually, United downfall have been in the goalkeeping department. That is, after Schmeichel's departure. The only person who's worth my respect is van der Sar. He had been doing some great job all these while. And.. most of you would know that I dislike Rooney. But, I got to give him credits when its due. I predicted that he's gonna score at the Emirates stadium. He did.. But actually, there is something that I noticed about Rooney which I think has helped him of late. I noticed that Rooney have shed some weight and as a result he's performing better now. I am not sure if its my eyes but seriously, it seemed like he's no longer flabby.. still, I am not fond of Rooney! Hehe..

FA Cup replay on Tuesday morning.. so many injuries.. and as I am writing this, Chelsea is racing 2-0 up against Sheffield. It seems that United will still have a 6 points lead unless a miracle happen. *Fingers crossed* The treble dream is still alive! Nytez all!!

Ok.. it seemed like I have got so much to say today.. indeed I have. So many things happened and gonna happen..

Like I said earlier, I've got the invitation to go for the camping trip, which I would go only tomorrow. And, I had planned to do some baking and shop for ingredients in the afternoon.. but something happened and the plans were postponed till late evening.

What happened was.. I installed yahoo messenger once again after almost 2 years?? I thought, I could live with only Msn Messenger as most of my contacts are in Msn. But today, I finally installed it because my dear friend, Mr Grimshaw a.k.a grimship has only a nick for me to add to yahoo.. To cut the story short, the moment I got my Yahoo messenger on.. everyone suddenly appeared and start talking to me. All of them were asking me why I have disappeared for donkey years! Which.. I can swear that I never see them online though I am using Live Messenger which I can communicate on either with Yahoo or Msn.

Anyways.. installing Yahoo messenger was a blessing in disguise la.. that guy.. 'P' was online! All along, he thought I have thrown away his contact.. so another long night as I am writing this blog... I am having a chat with him while he's working.. its still office hours in his country! Whahahaa...

I went to Page One just now.. Fantastic I tell you.. and they have so many new notebooks! And.. I bought this exams pads with the front cover so cool and artistic! And its so cheap! Not that cheap.. but given the quality, its affordable. Ok.. it was another splurging session at Page One. I would love to buy more stuff but time wasn't on my side.. I got to rush home as there were some things to be done and I have so many errands to run..

I guessed... I'll wake up late tomorrow.. its 12 am here and only 5 pm there... he's still got lots to say.. We have not been in contact for only 3 months.. Seemed like a long time... but how come I have nothing much to tell him????????? Just play along... naughty me!

This sms came in a while ago... It reads...

"Tho de remaining team is good & friendly..its not de same without u at Spin!"

It came from one of my regular customer. I never expected him to sms me this or rather I least expected him to even sms me. His message made me miss the people again! All over again.. I mean I was over and done with the sleepless night and all...

Of late, several of my regulars who have my mobile number have been contacting me.. was it wrong to give them my number in the first place? I don't think so.. Its one of the way to keep in touch.

Apart from sms-es there were emails to reply. Its like after a long while.. I am finally 'actively' making use of my email address. Haha.. Since its going to be back to school.. the PC is going to be my next buddy, working hand-in-hand with me. But, my close friends would say.. "since when wasn't the PC your buddy??" Haha..

And... somehow, I came up with an idea to reminisce on my Spin days and all the people who have made my time there memorable. I had this notebook with an image of a coffee cup which I bought from Page One. This notebook is supposed to be my notebook for school and stuff but instead, I used this book to paste all the cards and pictures that I have of my customers'. Ok, minus the pictures part... I have not print the pics out.. will do it pretty soon.. but all the cards that I have received its all there. Especially the tiny x'mas card which was part of last year's xmas decor.

Beside each card, I've made a little note.. their full name if I know, their drinks order, the country they are from and names of their spouse(s) and children. Its all there.. should I lose my memory one day.. at least its all there in the book.. I'll slowly decorate the book when I have the time.. I'll include the xmas decor pictures as well which I did over the last two years and dedicated to all my regulars. I am so proud that the store won the first prize because I knew it was going to be my last Christmas there...

See.. a text msg that came in suddenly made me write a lengthy post.. hmmz...

I have just received a last minute invitation to go to a camping trip with one of my cousin's family. This cousin of mine is so absent-minded! Always tell me things at the last minute. But, I actually knew about it and I have already thought of not going but later they psyho-ed me and said it was for one of my favourite nephew's birthday celebrations. And so.. I relented! Cos, I have not missed any of his celebrations before as most of the celebrations, I am included as our birthdays are just 12 days apart! Hehe.. But.. I am not going today. Instead, I'll go tomorrow morning.

I have made plans to buy some stuff for school.. like my compact powder.. which have miraculously diappeared..! I seriously do not know where it went.. And, I need some notepads and stuff like that... I guess, I will make a trip to Vivo later.. I just love Page One bookstore! Its an excuse for me to indulge.. hahah..

I have written an entry last night, but somehow, my dear PC chose not to listen to me. It decided to test my patience level and I just switched it off without saving it. Nothing really interesting to write on.. it was half done, anyway so it doesn't really hurt when its gone.

Date: Wednesday, March 14, 2007
Time: 12:51:00 PM

I had difficulties sleeping again last night. I wondered why.. cos I was feeling quite sleepy last night. Initially, I thought of sleeping at 10 pm since I have planned to catch the Man Utd vs Europe XI friendly at 4 am. But, I couldn't sleep after tossing on my bed for some 15 minutes. So, I decided to switch on my PC. And, after 45 minutes.. I decided to get some sleep for fear that I will miss the match. But, 12 am went by, 1 am went by.. I am still wide awake! I gave up. I switched on my PC again. I played some online game and did some memory tests to verify how fantastic my memory was as I was always complimented for that during my Spin days.. Around 2.30 am, my head was hurting big time, maybe I have over exerted my brain cells.. Haha

I decided to try to sleep AGAIN.. It took another 15 minutes before I finally managed to sleep. But all that came to a naught when my alarm rang at 3.30 am. It was time to wake up and refresh for the match.

It was an entertaining match. United raced upfront with a goal from Rooney and 3 minutes later through Wes Brown whom read my Giggsy's mind and went for the cross. It was entertaining and intelligent play by the United players. The Euro team was like schoolboys playing their weekend soccer game.

The thing is, United have nothing to win or lose during the match, only fears were injuries as the queue on the injury list have been increasing. I could see how the United players were enjoying themselves in the middle of the field. That was the kind of free roaming style of the United team that I felt have been missing of late. They were more daring to attack rather than their current style of defending and counter attack when the chances arise.

But no disrespect to the Euro XI.. we should understand that they were only formed recently so it kind of explained why there were no chemistry between the players unlike the United team whom have bee playing together for a long time.

Right before half time, it was 4-1 to United. So you see, when United applied their attacking mode, they are capable of scoring a lot of goals just like how they do it earlier in the season. Without their regular strikers, they can score 4 goals so what's the worry when most of the strikers are injured? I am sure Sir Alex is able to come up with some magic with his vast experience in the football scene.

The table was turned when the second half was played. The Euro team made a substituition of almost the whole team during half time with the exception of Larsson. And United, they also made changes to the senior players as they have a match this weekend and they definitely want their players to have sufficient rest and avoid injuries. So, came in the younger players to outshine.. but nothing interesting when on at the United half other than several missed chances.. Dong Fangzhou was introduced late in the game. I thought he showed some potential and almost scored.

The Euro team played better in the second half maybe because most of the players were from EPL sides and maybe it was a weakened United side.. so nothing exciting went on in the second half.

It was nice seeing Gabriel Heinze on the field. He's a good player. A player, whom I would describe as a hard tackling defender who is willing to lend a support in the attacking department. With Evra, Silvestre and Ferdinand injured, I foresee Heinze to get his chance to win back his place.

Ok, I have been talking a lot about United and soccer these days.. I am sorry if it bores anyone of you out there. Its one of my passion and I have missed it for quite a lot in the past years.. so its like letting off some steam before I get back to reality and start working. Furthermore, its the final stretch of the season, the most important moment.. haha..

************************

Back to the memory test that I tried this morning.. I scored 83%! It was truly amazing because I was kind of tired at that moment and lethargy can affect the result. It was scary when they show you images and numbers and you get to repeat the sequence or figure out which number appeared before.. I thought I would flunk the test.. all the good memory that I have (according to my ex-customers) is just a fluke.

But the result says otherwise. 83%.. I am amazed at myself. And according to the analysis, I have better long-term memory capabilities. Whatever.. don't ask me how I did it. Maybe its just one of my strength.

During those Spin days, I have customers coming to me and asked how I managed to remember their orders and names.. despite most of them have difficult name to begin with and complicated orders to comply. I am not sure how I did it.. it came naturally. I did make an effort to remember the customers' other half if they come in together and introduce them to me. Who says expats are an arrogant bunch of people?? Well, there are some black sheep but a majority of them are nice people. They let you see things in a different dimensions. So, to those who have this misconception, let's go back to the basic.. don't judge a book by its cover and don't just rely on hearsays..

I almost forgotten to blog about this particular issue... Its regarding these two people whom have been part of my life for quite sometime.. The guy, let's call him 'A', I have known him for almost 1 year plus while the girl, let's call her 'B', have been my friend for about 6 months. To make things clear, the three of us are not in any kind of a love triangle situation.

'A' is such a person who is very full of himself and he feels that no one is better than him and anyone who makes mistake should not be pardoned. But in actual fact, he's just a piece of shit. Yes, he have his good points but that does not mean he's always right. He thinks he's perfect but no one is perfect (cliched, I know..)

Meanwhile, when I first got to know 'B', I didn't really get along with her. Those who have read my earlier post should know what kind of person I am.. In fact, at that time, I didn't really like her cos I felt she's too stuck up. But as time moves on and we got to know each other better, we became close and confide with each other.

It was about a few months ago, I had a misunderstanding with 'A' and since then our friendship have been affected. I have been quite on good terms with 'A' all these while despite his flaws but that particular incident really made me snapped. And, since then communications were only present at a professional level. Talk only when necessary. 'B' tried to intervene and tried to patch things up for us but I told 'B' that things were beyond redemption. It has already came to a point where I can't make myself talk to him unless he change. I also told 'B' that I'll be professional and communicate only when there's a need.

'B' respected my decision. But, she also have her fair share of frustrations with 'A'.. And, I have always advice 'B' how I handle him and how he can't always rely on others. When I was still around, 'B' could still hold on as I am there to lend her support and fight on.. but now, I feel sad for her.

It was less than 3 weeks since I left.. I can't remember how many times have she complained to me.. I don't mind listening and advising her.. she's a good friend of mind, after all.. but its sad to see her suffering. I wish things were like in the past.. but too bad it isn't. But the good thing is, the whole issue may end pretty soon.. I told her, I wish I could be with her just like in the past.. but now, all I can do is listen.. she's just too glad that I am willing to listen.

I really wish I could help her.. Even if I can't, I do hope I can cheer her up. To my dear friend, I really hope this will end real soon... I know you missed the time we had fun together.. I missed it too and terribly. Keeping quiet does not mean I do not care.. But, I'll still be here for you anytime!

I woke up quite late this morning.. After all, I have been staying up quite a bit the whole of last week and waking up early each day with the lil' imp around. But, I kinda miss him with him gone back! grr.. The good thing is, I got back all my priceless possessions! My PC and my Bed! Haha..

This morning, after I woke up and freshen up.. I decided to clean my room all over again. I am surprised to see all my old notes. Some of my old notes were dated since 1997. 10 years! Wow.. But today, I threw all my notes which I don't think is important anymore and all the once prized possessions of mine. And, I threw quite a number of pairs of shoes! But, after throwing about 10 pairs of shoes and sandals.. I still have about another 10 pairs! I didn't know that I have so many pairs of shoes!! I am amazed.....

I am almost done with my cleaning.. hope it will be completed by tomorrow. I want to be free from worries from Thursday and be ready to begin the new chapter of my life on Monday. Actually, one more worry.. pass my MPT! That's the most worrying issue right now.

The floating time-table is really going to benefit me, especially as a soccer fan. Since, I am going to start work only at 10.30 am each day, I can catch all the important matches in the wee hours of the morning starting with the FA Cup replay this Tues morning. Its the last lap of the soccer season.. important games ahead.. what am I going to do during the off season?? No World Cup, No European Cup.. Boring! I hate end May to early August! Yikes!

Last night, I came back quite late after sending the lil' imp home. I didn't sleep till about 1 am and I got to attend a staff meeting at 10 am today. It was so hard to wake up after just 2 weeks of bumming around.

And so.. I attended my first meeting. It was okay.. the P and VP were great. Nice people... I hope I'll have great time there. I'll do a floating time-table. 5.5 hours of work! 1 hr lesser than at Spin. Haha.. but I know the responsibilities are greater. So long I can get more sleep.. I don't mind any hard work!

School is just about 5 minutes away... best la! But the not so nice thing is.. must walk quite a distance to get into the main gate. Still, its OK. As long as I don't have to wake up early.. nothing else matters. Am wondering... why do I always get to work at places near my house?? But luckily, I didn't get my Alma mater! Or else.. school is just at the junction before my house. Its like a minute away.. There are still many teachers whom have taught me before left.. so its kinda awkward to see them again.. after all, I am one of those always in the 'limelight'! Embarrassing if they were to bring up the past that have happens so many donkey years ago! But.. that school can be categorised as one of the top neighbourhood school... But.. its ok! Given a choice, I would rather stay at Spin and traumatised my lovely customers!

Last night, or rather in the wee hours of the morning, I fought hard to stay awake to catch the quarter-finals of the FA Cup. It reads Middlesbrough vs Manchester United. Its not an easy fixture given that Boro have actually surprised United last season, mauling them 4-1.

I woke up when the game was 5 minutes old. Only to find Tomasz Kuszczak in goal. My heart almost sank. Each time when he's on goal, I kind of lost confidence in the team. I think Kuszczak is quite inexperienced and the he do not have that kind of influence that van der Sar has. Furthermore, he is also prone to let in soft goals.

No doubt he made some fine saves yesterday but some miscommunications between his defenders led to the two goals scored by the Boro's players. Bummer... Having led 1-0 right before half time through Rooney, the Red Devils were on course to the semis unfortunately, the Boro players equalised just before half time while a minute after the start of the second half, they took the lead. It was almost destined that United would be thrown out of the semis and bid farewell to the Treble.. somehow, thanks to the intervention of Lady Luck, a penalty was awarded for a hand ball by Boateng. So, you see.. when Lady Luck is smiling at you, no matter how the odds are stacked against you, you'll still pull through.

However, I felt that Giggs should have not wasted the chance to kill off the game in the first half. A replay means another chance to redeem themselves. But having extra games with so many players on the injury list does not bode well. Its the final stretch.. and should United win the treble this season.. it gotta be on of the greatest achievement by them, really.

Anws... gotta go for now.. will be back soon. I am thinking of participating in this "Sayembara Cerpen" competition.. hope I can still write after so long.. I'll try. Staff meeting tomorrow to meet my new colleagues.. I better be prepared to impress.. The VP sounds like a nice guy. Hope everyone will be nice..

I caught the LIVE draw of the quarter-finals and the semi-finals of this season Champions League. United is drawn against AS Roma. Phew... Luckily, its not against PSV Eindhoven. I do not wish to see my team pitting against his team and beat his team! LOL..

AC MILAN vs Bayern Munich (SLURP!)
PSV vs Liverpool (an all English semis??)
AS Roma vs Manchester United (de ja vu of 98/99 Treble winning season)
Chelsea vs Valencia (hmmz... tough pick!)

My analysis for the draw.. I would like to cut it short cos I am a lil' sleepy and drowsy thanks to my flu medicines.

Simple. Dejavu feelings. In the quarter finals of the 98/99 season, United played Inter Milan. A team from Italy and won despite being the dark horse. They met Juventus another Italian team in the semis. Just like in the 98/99 season, there are two teams from Italy and this season they are playing against AS Roma a team from Italy and if they win the fixture they may likely to meet either AC Milan or Bayern Munich. But if the game plan should follow the 98/99 season's script, it should be a Man United vs AC Milan Semi-finals. And.. just like the 98/99 season.. at this point in time, United is on the road of winning the treble again. LOL..

No disrespect to AS Roma. But, despite my non-stop influenza strickened nose, I already smell the Treble's scent! haha.. Aiyah! I need to sleep.. will be back with a better set of analysis probably after tomorrow's FA Cup tie!

Before I end, my current predictions of the semi-finals tie...

AC Milan vs Manchester United
PSV vs Valencia

I say PSV not because he likes PSV.. But, the coach of PSV, always perform well against English team and like I say, if we were to follow the 98/99 season's script, Dynamo Kiev was in the semis. They were strong that season but they are not as fantastic as the rest.. and I hope it gonna be Man Utd vs Valencia Final. Lol.. But, if there's a chance of Man United vs Chelsea Final, would be great but why should there be an all English Finals?? Unless.. Chelsea were to meet United on the last day of the season to determine who will be crown the EPL winners and if they were to meet in the FA Cup Final.. so a Champions League Final fixture will be feasible. A hat trick from Fergie to the special one! Then, I will have a good laugh! Haha.. Oopz! I think my medications is sinking in!

Time: 7:17:00 PM

I caught the second leg of the first knock out round of the Champions League this morning. Manchester United vs Lille. Man United held a 1-0 aggregate score after Giggsy's controversional goal 2 weeks ago. I was hoping for him to score this morning. But, I was surprised that he was on the bench instead. Boring!

It was a boring match with some tempers flaring up among the Lille players and yellow cards flying out of the referee's pocket. Scholes missed a good chance and as usual van der Sar though not as great as Schmeichel (my first favourite player!), was the pillar of the shaky United's defence. I have expected it to be a tight match given United's form in CL.

The turning point was when I got my Lil' imp to catch the game. That was when, Larsson scored! LoL.. Nice header.. He'll be sorely missed once he packed and go.. I was reading the TNP a while ago about all the influence that Larsson have and how his presence is really felt in the team. How I wish I could personally go to him and persuade him to stay till the season end. At least, he'll have more achievements 'plastered' on his already glittering roll of honours. And, if United can step up their performance by say two notches, the treble is within their grasp. Afterall.. Lady Luck, who have shunned them for the past few seasons, is back.

Actually, reading about Larsson's upcoming departure do saddens me.. its like a dejavu feelings.. how I felt when I got to leave Spin. I know, Larsson do not want to leave but because of other commitments and all.. he got to leave.. Cheh! I am talking as if I am Henrik Larsson!! LoL.. But seriously, I do hope that a miracle do happen and somehow.. Larsson will stay.. *fingers crossed*

***************************
Just got the letter of posting. Not sure if I am happy with the school given to me. No hard feelings to the school... Its just me. The MPT just killed my passion and enthusiasm! Urgh!! Shall see how it goes from there...

I got to try to re-focus my thinking. Hopefully, its the right step that I've taken! With "C" leaving end of this week.. I got no motivation. But I mustn't disappoint him cos he's too happy for me. Guess that will be my motivation!

****************************
Ooh yeah.. PSV won! Very happy. Firstly, I hate Arsenal. For some personal reason. Like I've said before(after they've beaten United at OT), "enjoy ur success while it last cos it won't last long"! Next, because PSV is his favourite team. So.. all is fair. Haha.. Great! Will catch the LIVE draw of the quarters on ESPN at 7 pm tomorrow night.

It'll be nice to see United play Chelsea. Firstly, they'll meet in the EPL on the 15th Apr. But, should United progress to the semis of the FA Cup (which I dun see any reason why they will not..), 15th Apr will be the day the semis will be played(according to reports). That means, the EPL clash will likely be on the last day of the EPL season. Which, also means that will be when the title will be decided should United decide to drop some points along the way (which they're capable of).

If they do meet in the CL quarters, its very likely United will dispose them because Lady Luck prefers Red this season. LOL.. With United disposing Chelsea, that means Chelsea cannot win four title in a row. With United disposing Chelsea, they know that they are only 2 steps away from winning the CL title. And, with United at the driving seat of the EPL, its very likely they'll win the EPL title too. And.. there is no reason why they can't win the FA Cup because they have done great during the FA CUP games this season. And.. Larsson will score in his final competitive match. So which means, the treble is within their reach. Hence, they'll have some source of motivation and glimmer of hopes to look forward to. Hence, Chelsea will only have the League Cup to shout about because United do not care about that Cup when they are gunning for the treble cos they are not greedy! Hehe... I am speaking like a true RED arrogant devil! Haha.. We shall see if my analysis is right come MAY!

I have not been updating as often as I wished I could.. Reason being, the lil' imp is with me and going to be with me for the next 1 week! Its gonna be fun but I have to be ready to sacrifice my time and my possessions!

That lil' imp have confiscated my container of coins. Which of course, I saved up the whole of last week just for him as the coins will occupy him for a long while. And, he's also taken the 'hot seat' in front of the PC. Each time, I logged online or busy chatting on MSN, he'll squeezed himself beside me. Then, now.. he's smarter! He knows how to watch You Tube! He loves Irwan Syah's, "Pencinta Wanita"! Kept on playing the video clip and sang along to the song! Then, he kept on pestering me to play his Ultraman VCD or watching the clips from You Tube. Not enough of the PC, he went to conquer my Television set! *smack head*

Today, we finally went for a swim!! It was mid-noon when we took a dip in the pool.. I know, a bit silly to go for a swim at that time.. but if I do not go at that time, that lil' imp will sleep till like 5 pm and by the time we make our way there, it would have been 7 pm and the place would have closed for the day.

After an hour of swim, I realised I was so tanned that I almost freak out!! I used to be very fair but after years of basking under the sun bringing glory to my school team during my teenager years, I have been so tanned that I actually took about 4-5 years to get back to my current skin colour. But now, I am tanned again.. in fact, I have been "burnt". Just like an overcooked lobster!! Haha.. But the reddishness of the skin.. I kinda like the colour.. it seems like I am back to my active lifestyle! Hehe.. But my skin is in pain! The funny thing, that lil' imp is still in the same colour tone as before! So unfair!

The worst part has yet to come.. for those who have went to Wild Wild Wet would have known about the "shiok river", one of the attractions there. The lil' imp like that so much that he made me go 20 laps! After some calculations, its a total of 6.7 metres! Phew.. but it was fun. Till, that lil' imp got so sleepy, he was relaxing on the tube and fell asleep! *smack head*

I guess I am improving with my swims.. cos I got to admit that I am not a good swimmer and water sport is not my forte. Though, I do enjoy canoe-ing and kayaking. But field sports... bring it on!

Gonna sleep soon... another day out with the lil' imp tomorrow! Nytez all!!

I did some shopping yesterday and finally met up with my insurance agent to collect my documents after 2 weeks of liaising with him and changed in plans.

It was sunny in the morning but by late afternoon, the gates of heaven decided to open up. What a bummer! It had been raining non-stop the last few days.. not so good if you have plans to soak under the sun.

After running my errands and all, I went to my nephew's place to pick him up but in the end there was a changed in plan and I ended spending a night at his place. That lil' imp were so arrogant last night. Took off with the tidbits I bought for him but didn't want to talk to me. This morning, he woke up looking for me!

His father sent us home. But it was a nice afternoon, cos we all went to the supermarket near my place and ran into my mum there. So, we all ended up going back together.

There was a Big match earlier on at 8.40 pm. Man Utd playing away from home against Liverpool at Anfield. This morning, my former customer, "Big Daddy" sms-ed me. " 3-0 to Liverpool." Haha.. I thought I predicted that scoreline to United when I last saw him a few days back.

Before the game started, I got some 15 minutes to spare. So, I got that lil' imp to shower so he can enjoy the match. But he kept on blabbering about not wanting to have his hair wash again. I told him ok. But he kept on repeating the same sentence! I got fed-up. I thought him one phrase. "Long-winded". He learnt it and enjoying that phrase. Haha..

During the game, he was blabbering rubbish .. so to shut him up, I told him, "Long-winded"! And he laughed and kept quiet. I asked him which team he's supporting today. He said white. I told him, very good because white is the colour for United today. He must be upset because Fereira is not in either team! He luvs Fereira to the core and that's the reason why he loves Chelsea! And, I hate Chelsea to the max! Right now, I am getting him to be a United fan. He's responding to my pleas finally!

To all United fan, glad that team won! It was like winning the title itself. 12 points lead provided Chelsea lose later tonight. To the Liverpool fans, hard luck. Too bad you were next on the list. But then again, when was the last time you beaten us? 3 years ago..?? LoL... All I hope is that the United's players won't squander their 12 points leads!!!

To the referee.. you could have done better. Saha was supposed to be given a penalty for being brought down in the box. Scholes should only be yellow carded not RED! It was just too harsh.. But then again, thank you for the card. It woke the team up. And, luckily... United was playing with only 10 men for the last 8-10 minutes.

Till then, just pray hard Chelsea will lose their game later tonight!!!

I suddenly felt like blogging about my way of choosing and treating my friends..

I guessed I was too caught up with work that I almost lost all my friends. Life at Spin was fun during working hours as I get to meet up with interesting people and interact with them. But, sadly.. life after work is boring! During those times, I was too tired to party after work as I was permanently working on the morning shift. There were times when I made plans to meet up with my friends but it got cancelled or postponed to a later time or they have to wait for me till I finished with my work. Subsequently, I gave up on planning to meet up with friends and they also gave up asking me out.

Gradually, I felt that my circle of friends is dwindling. There were times I felt so lonely.. but luckily for me, there was always someone who's there for me! Now that I am done with work and on a bumming around mode, I find that my circle of friends is growing again! Ever since the exam was over, I have been meeting up with friends and more meetings are coming up! I am so excited!!

Met a friend of mine this evening.. she made me realise something. Personally, I admit.. making friends with me is not that easy. I am not the kind who am impressed by the first meeting nor do I get swayed by rumours of a particular person. People may think I am snobbish.. I let people think what they wished cos I dun care about all these... Through time, they'll realise the real me. And through time, I let the seed of friendship grow. Once I accept someone as a friend, I would trust them implicitly. But once this person hurt me and betray my trust, there would be no U-turn and I will have no regret saying goodbye to the friendship.

Because of the trust I have on this particular person, I didn't realise his flaws. It was my friend who made me realise how much this guy have changed over the last few years. I am not sure what to say about him.. I hate it when others talk bad about him but if he don't change himself, I am afraid no one can help him. And to my dear friend, you better pull up your socks before I lose all respect for you!

That's all for now.. after days of sleeping in late, I got to end my day early and have an early start! It gonna be a long day tomorrow. Running around Singapore to get my stuff, meeting my insurance agent(who 'bubbled' me so many times!) and fetching my nephew in the evening! I foresee 1 week of fun with him!
