Barcelona

My brain is mentally exhausted right now but I'm not complaining. How can I complain when I was the one who wanted to wake up at 2.45am to watch the finals of Champions League with Barcelona vs Arsenal? Haha. I don't regret it at all coz Barcelona came back from 1-0 down to win the game!! Overall, I gotta say that the match was really intense thro'out. With Lehman being sent off after 18 mins, the match took a crucial turning point. After Sol Campbell scored for Arsenal at the 37th min, I couldn't help feeling worried and anxious that my heart was pumping so fast! I was hoping and praying that Barca could do what Liverpool did last year at the finals - to score 3 goals in 6 mins. I wasn't greedy.. I only wanted Barca to score at least 2 goals to win the game. And they really did!!! 2 goals in 5 mins!!! They are that great and really made me a happy gal the whole of today! Haha. Tired but happy. Was rather disappointed with Henry and Ronaldinho's performance thou...

Joni Mitchell "Both Sides Now"

Another 2 more weekends and I'll be heading to Genting with Tom and his friends. I can't wait coz after all, it's the 1st time we're leaving on a trip together though it's with his friends as well. At least, I get to spend some time out of Singapore with him after 2 years plus together. :) Feeling excited already! Lyrics to a song that I really like by Joni Mitchell. It's in the soundtrack from "Love Actually". I listen to this song so much that my soundtrack is actually spoiling. Sighz.. Gotta replace a copy of the CD and buy more Joni Mitchell's CDs. Need to go to HMV coz I can't seem to find her CDs in the other music stores. Rows and floes of angel hair And ice cream castles in the air And feather canyons ev’rywhere I’ve looked at clouds that way But now they only block the sun They rain and snow on ev’ryone So many things I would have done But clouds got in my way I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now From up and down, and still someho...

Not in the mood..

What causes a person to lose his/her mood suddenly? I really wish to know what happened to myself. i lost all mood today.. Out of the blue. Sighz.. The rest wanted to go to Devils Bar as it's HS's farewell today, but I.. I just didn't want to be there. Didn't want to club, didn't want to do anything. Left after 20 minutes and wasted $12. Talked to D today.. She said that I sounded different, different from the usual cheerful me that she used to know. Have I really changed or am I just stressed out by work?? I really don't know. I don't seem to know anything about myself any longer. It's like, I don't even know myself anymore. Sighz.. What the hell is wrong with me? Or is it that I lack sleep? Could it be due to the 'creature' that's staying in my room, disrupting my sleep? Yes, there's some weird thing in my room since Monday night. It chirps when I switch on my lights. I'm not sure if it's a bird, a cricket or a lizard. It...

My Favourite Question

"If you were to die today, would you have any regrets?" I asked. "I think I do.. Lots of things that I've done in the past are not things that I'm totally proud of or happy about. Given a chance, I'll like to change what I used to do and how I behaved. What about yourself?" "Me.. I don't have any regrets. I've always believed in following your heart and to live life to the fullest. Learnt that when my mum died when I was 8. From then on, all that I want is to lead a simple and happy life, doing what I want and what I like everyday so that when it's time for me to go, I can go happily and look back on my life with no regrets." "How do you manage to do that?" "I guess it's simple for me. I don't reflect on my life everyday but every now and then, I will. And every decision I make, I ensure that it's what I really want for myself. Just like in the past, when I had very strict curfews til I was almost 21, I kn...

Satisfied

I think in some ways, I'm a sinple girl who's easily satisfied with life. Headed to town just now to buy some heels and present for Min. Tom was thirsty so we decided to grab drinks. As we were at Borders, I naturally went to look for my buddy. There he was, hidden by the counter. Luckily I decided to bend down as I saw someone there, else, I wouldn't have been in the cafe. Thanx to my buddy for making me my favourite dish and a drink that I really wanted to try. We had Monster Mushrooms and IMM Slam. It made me a truly satisfied gal and definitely a happy one at that. Haha. :) And as always, he refuses to let me pay! Had a debate and in the end, I only paid $7 after saying that if he doesn't let me pay, I won't ever eat there again. Haha. After which, Tom and I headed to Far East to shop for my heels as the pair that I usually wear to work is spoiling. I managed to buy 3 pairs for the price of 2 and I like what I bought!! Am a happy and truly SATISFIED gal today!! ...

Stressed..

I've been rather stressed with work recently.. To the extent that I had bad Monday blues 2 days ago. Last week started to get hectic as 1 colleague was on training and I had a number of things to rush for my boss before she went for her course in Shanghai yesterday. Furthermore, I had to learn another colleague's portfolio as my supervisor doesn't want to cover her work when we are shorthanded. So, the job landed on my laps.. With a very sarcastic comment, "Maggie can learn your portfolio.. She's very smart one mahz." So, I took 2 days off my own work to learn from my colleague how to handle her work. In the end, I was left with Fri last week and Mon this week to finish my urgent stuff that needed my boss's signature before she left. What's worse was that there were some screw ups for my own portfolio and I made the same mistake 3 times in 2 days! Was really upset with myself coz it's not the first time I made this mistake. Sighz.. Think the stress...

2 years ago..

Went to do fringe rebonding today as my fringe was getting too wavy and disgusting. As always, I went back to my normal haorstylist, Kef. He asked me if I was still in contact with my ex-bf, Stu. Kinda surprised me that he would ask this question. Brought back some memories.. Many people were envious of me when I first started dating Stu. Who wouldn't be? It was almost like a fairytale story. I was the temp staff at his office and he was the director of the company. It was a partnership that he had set up with a couple of friends. Anyway, the way we started was like a fairytale in itself.. He is 8 years older than I am, and yet we started dating. As most people know, I'm not the kind of girl who needs her bf to be around 24/7. I believe in personal time and space, and that we all should have the freedom to go out with friends even when we are in a relationship. With Stu, I had more than that coz he was always too busy to go out with me. Our dating ground, almost everytime we me...
