man utd won 3-0 last night, a stroll in the park, a routine win for them. as i sit in front of the tv taking it all in, i thot: wtf is man utd doing this season?

i mean, there in front of me is a good team, one that is capable of winning trophies. ok, so utd gotten the carling cup, but i am talking abt the big ones here, ie. CL and EPL.

back to my question, is it becos of not being consistant in terms of results? or is it a problem of motivation? luck? tactical naviety on the management part? i wld say, its all a bit of everything. things and events beyond utd's control have contrived to make the carling cup the climax of this season.

lets just hope next season will be better, in terms of trophies and gameplay.

--------------------

recently, i got hit by a big big realisation of myself. this realisation was that i dun own a comb. upon this realisation, i backtracked in time and thot reallllllyyyyy hard when was the last time i had a comb under my list of possessions. my backtracking came to no avail. zilch, zero memory of a comb in my possession. just to make a rough guess, it wld have been in early jc times when i last COMBED my hair. quite impressive, unbelievable rite? but me being me, i just get by without a comb. its quite simple really....even more so tt i dun really like to keep my hair long, its the weather u see. well....maybe i will now consider seriously to get a comb when one catches my eyes.

----------------------

now, i would really want to know wat the future holds for me. of cos, then again, this goes against my belief that when u show someone their future, they would have no future from that moment on, powerless to change it and unwilling to change it.

despite all this, i still stand by my inexplainale urge to wanna know my future. for the simple fact that i am uncertain. at this point of my life, there is lots of things to be uncertain abt, jobs, debts, life's direction, goals, physical health, etc etc. so a wee bit of worry is considered quite healthy, i think.

back to my urge, u see, other then just pure uncertainity, there is another reason why i crave for the future to be reveiled now. i want to know! the thirst for knowledge, the perfect knowledge. the perfect knowledge to make the perfect decision (tho i doubt more and more abt the existence of such a thing). it would be divine to do that.

as things are rite now, the wise thing would be to let my urge die down and just get on with it. as i have done many times before with the confidence that it will die down soon enough.

-----------------------

been catching episodes of 'coupling' over chnl 18 these past couples of weeks. its a highly entertaining sitcom. altho many ppl will say that the central theme is sex, i wld say that its more of poking fun of the sterotypical profiles of both males and females view of sexuality and societal views of wats defined as right and wrong sexually. it can also be seen as a sitcom revolving ard a bunch of totally stoned, daft, socially inept people discussing everyday situations in a pub where the beer flows freely and work seems to be secondary.

do go catch 1 or 2 episodes if u can, u wun regret it, i promise. in case u tune in to catch the view of certain body parts unclothed, i am sorry to say tt u will be duly disappointed. after all, this is sg cable tv we are talking abt, u pea brained perv!

i am yer quintessential sunday social footballer. trying hard to translate what i see on the goggle box onto the court. trying it out is fine, when it ends up in laughter and smiles. but not so fine when the loving feeling of waking up early on a sunday morning fades away.

so i get bored with things easily. but i thot i would never get tired of soccer. now, i am feeling abit of it. i would even dare say that i would rather spend my sunday morning watching the sunday morning cartoons then brave the weather for a game of kickabout.

well, how fast one's thinking can change, i am amazed by myself too.

kudos to me then. or rather my fickle-minded-ness.

today is a glorious saturday morning...yet i wasted it all by sleeping in. what a waste of good god-given resources. well, gonna make the most of the day by enjoying the rest of today.

did my last sentence sounds like a command for me to enjoy myself for the rest of the day? could i be able to comply with such a demand made upon myself by myself? hmm........after all, in my book, enjoyment comes forth only in unrestricted-ness. well...watever.

am settling down well in my life, a life that bears almost no resemblance when i started on my degree a few years back. now, the degree is almost in hand and yet it seems like i am not gonna to make too much use of it in the near future at least. what a waste of my time and money and not to mention the tax payers' money as well.

a 'routine' week now would be office, sch, sch,office, sch....pls note that sch days are days when i feel the inexplainable need to rest at home. hahaha.

working life, to me at least, seems decent enough. the best part is getting paid for it. it feels good to be able to accomplish somethings in life, ie: buying stuff u yearn for. it sure feels good...........until the clinche of money often dun buy u the best things life offers....well, we just gotta make do sometimes i guess.

i would like myself to make it in my so-called career in the future but it seems, to be well, a rocky road to success at the very best. can't complain, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

just a note, me not operating some MLM shit, so pls dun get the wrong idea. hahaha


It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle, it'll up the ride.
Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything (everything) will be allright (alright).

after watching Shrek 2 on HBO some weeks back, I would not get it outta my head. catchy little tune isnt it?


"Accidentally In Love" by Counting Crows

So she said what's the problem baby
What's the problem I don't know
Well maybe I'm in love (love)
Think about it every time
I think about it
Can't stop thinking 'bout it

How much longer will it take to cure this
Just to cure it cause I can't ignore it if it's love (love)
Makes me wanna turn around and face me but I don't know nothing 'bout love

Come on, come on
Turn a little faster
Come on, come on
The world will follow after
Come on, come on
Cause everybody's after love

So I said I'm a snowball running
Running down into the spring that's coming all this love
Melting under blue skies
Belting out sunlight
Shimmering love

Well baby I surrender
To the strawberry ice cream
Never ever end of all this love
Well I didn't mean to do it
But there's no escaping your love

These lines of lightning
Mean we're never alone,
Never alone, no, no

Come on, Come on
Move a little closer
Come on, Come on
I want to hear you whisper
Come on, Come on
Settle down inside my love

Come on, come on
Jump a little higher
Come on, come on
If you feel a little lighter
Come on, come on
We were once
Upon a time in love

We're accidentally in love
Accidentally in love [x7]

Accidentally

I'm In Love, I'm in Love,
I'm in Love, I'm in Love,
I'm in Love, I'm in Love,
Accidentally [x2]

Come on, come on
Spin a little tighter
Come on, come on
And the world's a little brighter
Come on, come on
Just get yourself inside her

Love ...I'm in love

the movie's opening.



the song's MTV



ENJOY...
Visions, so very Bad.

I was on the way back home on a god-damn crowded bus yesterday evening. Nothing much about that, except that only the front 3/4 section of the bus is crowded, and the idiotic couple standing next to me refuses to move towards the back of the bus to enable more homeward bound working class people onto the bus. They aren't whispering sweet nothings to each each other nor were they too busy looking into each other's eyes to notice what is happening around them and yet move they didn't. Stoic as a pair of statues with lotsa baggage around, they stood immovable. fuck the pair of idiots with a major undeniable selfish streak.

Again on the same crowded and extremely insufferable bus journey home, I saw something that made me regret not bringing a camera close at hand where-ever i go. The bus was stopping at a traffic crossing with high human traffic to and fro this side of the road. There was yet another traffic crossing for the other side of thr road. Looking to pass time, I followed the herd of office warriors crossing thru the windows, my eyes followed them all the way to the road divider where they had to wait patiently ableit a few seconds for the lights to turn green to enable the crossing. Again my eyes trained on this bunch crossing the other side of the road.

Then I saw it, right there, after the last of the disgrunted corporate grunt trudged off the divider, sitting nonchalantly by the green fence lining the divider, was an old lady maybe abt 70 in her full pyjamas glory with 2 big bags besides her. Not too sure what she's doing there but it made for a powerful image. Well, the faster we move forward as a society, the more people get left behind.

My heart goes out to that lady on the divider and hopes she finds a way to catch up with the corporate crowd in crossing to the other side of the road......
