Euro is finally over. 3 weeks of sleepless nights and looking like a panda are over. I'm glad that Spain won. After 44 years w/o a title, they deserved it. I really enjoy watching Euro cos there's always no clear winner. Makes the match much more exciting :)
Btw you know sometimes when u go into Yahoo's main page and there are articles that are displayed there. Anyway there was an article that caught my eye - "Will ERP mean every road pay" (http://sg.news.yahoo.com/cna/20080629/tap-357200-231650b.html)
Here's the part that I like -
.....the day will be quite soon when the only safe place to leave your vehicle is at home, if you are lucky enough to own a landed property. You can well imagine that, one day, if I drive out of my house, the first thing I hear would be this ’beep’ sound coming from the little device on my dashboard, and everywhere you go, you will be hearing ’beep, beep, beep’, instead of car horns...
Everything is increasing...food, ERP, petrol...I feel the pinch...
One of my fav UK band - Jamiroquai. Contrary to popular belief, they are a band, not a singer. Anyway the lead singer, Jay Kay is kinda cute, in his own way, with that hat fetish of his..hehe..
Btw this song was released quite some time ago, but I still think its cool.....
Sob...doesn't time pass so fast like a bullet train. I'll be back to work tomorrow. Sigh...
This is really sad...I want more R&R...wouldn't it be good if we could just stay at home and not work with $$ dropping from the sky??? That'll be great man!!!! Oh man...the sianness..I know for sure that I'll have tons of stuff to clear tomorrow. I can just feel it...cries...
Hey...I'm on leave right now. From Wed to Fri, I'll just be relaxing at home but I did something that I shouldn't be doing, I went to check on my office email and started replying some emails :p Well, the workaholic in me is still there.
Anyway last Sat, I went to watch the SATC movie. One word - great!!! I really liked it and the songs in the movie were sooo nice, it really complements each scene. So I bought the sound track after watching the movie and when I was queuing, I saw 2 other girls holding the CD too. That's how nice the songs were :)
Here's one of my fab songs --
Dressed Up in Love (by Jennifer Hudson)
"Cool in the summer, warm in the winter I’m dressed up in love I’m cool in the summer, warm in the winter Cuz I’m in love All dressed up in love"
Went to my usual haunt, New Asiabar with Kak last night. I'm getting rusty, after one bottle of wine, I felt like sleeping. My eye bags were dark dark. Went home to watch the Holland vs France match and half the time I was sleeping on the sofa. The only time I woke up was when I heard "GOAL!!!!" from my dad. Anyway Euro 2008 is here and you'll be seeing a zombie-like me till the end of this month. This was what I told my part timer. She was saying that I look really tired cos' there were times where I couldn't take it and I nap in the office (that's during my lunch break). What to do right? Once in 4 years, I gotta keep myself awake to watch the matches and you also get to see other players besides those from the EPL. I kinda get tired of seeing those England players, overrated and highly paid goons. Btwa lot of surprises from this Euro. Here are my views:
1) What happened to the Germany that played against Poland???!!! Anyway kudos to Croatia. I'm proud of them.
2) Italy!!! You should be ashamed of yourself. World Cup winners indeed.
3) France, another disappointment. I'm not really a fan of them, but thinking that they were in the finals with Italy in the last World Cup, they'll have some tricks up their sleeves but I was seriously bored to death in their first match.
4) Holland, surprising doing very very well. I thought they'll lose steam since there's always internal conflicts within the team (too many egos), but they have been scoring beautiful goals.
5) Back to point 1, Croatia. Wow. I hope they can go far. Well, it's always good to support the underdogs. If they can repeat their 1998 World Cup performance, it'll be great.
6) Spain doing well too. Not sure how they will fare against Sweden today. It's a 50-50 game, both teams are above average but not as wow wow as Holland yet. Spain has always been known to start well and kinda fade away, let's hope they try to keep up their momentum.
7) Hmm..Portugal. I've not watched any of Portugal's matches yet. Due to a certain player who I can't stand (btw I don't wanna name him, he has a lot of fans). Let's just say he's arrogant. Go read the newspaper today. What's with his" Champ!! $$ " shirt? If you wanna go Real Madrid, just go...
Hehe..so how was my analysis? Good? Anyway it's Euro in a nutshell.....
Random Updates on my Life (too lazy to type an actual post) :
1) Trying to lead a healthy lifestyle. Swear that I must go jogging (or walking) at least twice a week. Dajie take note..hehe..
2) Faced with a dilemma at work. Not sure if I should apply for a senior post elsewhere. Kinda feel stagnant here yet I'm very comfie with the people (except the management).
3) Bro coming back on 20 June. I think he misses us cos' he has been msging and calling home frequently.
4) Just bought a Coach bag last week. It's my 2nd Coach bag but pls don't say wahhh, so branded. Both times, there was a 50% discount so there u go, I'm not rich. Poor as hell right now. Shame on me. I feel guilty for this purchase.
5) Can't wait for my pay day. For the reason why, please look at point 4. My lunch is basically biscuits from NTUC.
6) Did my facial last week, Pam (my usual beautician) is back. Hurray!! Didn't like the replacement.
7) Taking leave next week to stay at home and rot, since the 2 bosses are not around.
As usual, I'm having a bad tummy ache again. Went to the toilet twice and feeling rather miserable now. I'm planning to eat some medicine later. I'm also feeling sore from yesterday's kick boxing class. It was actually my first class (the last one was cancelled). The class was not bad, at least I did sweat. I'm not the combat kind and half the time my coordination was all over the shop. Basically I looked like a fool ^_^
Anyway I'm going to dreamland now..I'm feeling the zzzz monster attacking me, plus tomorrow I've got a meeting at 10am..gotta look fresh, which I doubt will happen. The plan for me is to just show my blank face tomorrow (for an example of my blank face, please look at the icon that I used)..wahahaha..
My bro's going to NS tomorrow. I don't feel it yet, but I guess I will miss him when he's not around. There's no one to get irritated at. Even though he gets on my nerves, but at the end of the day, I think I'll be bored without him around..sigh..
By the way, bintan was great. Nice relaxing place and it sucks to come back to work the following day. Just imagine, sunday: relaxing at the beach & monday: rushing for my reports for wed's meeting..sob..it's just not right man..
