LET ME TELL YOU ONE THING.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE FOOTBALL.

but one thing i dont like about UEFA EURO is the time difference. i'm getting old, my body simply cant stand late night/ early morning matches anymore. And as we approach the quarterfinals, kickoff time will be 2.45am every freaking NIGHT. meaning matches will be done by 4.30am and the post-match adrenaline will continue pumping till 5am, taking an hour before i have my long awaited sleep only to have dad wake me up at 9am asking me to join him for breakfast. by 10.30am, i'll look lk a druggie because my nose will be leaking and my yawns will be continuous. i'm a goner in the afternoons and by night, i stay awake doing NOTHING or pre-match meditations if needed until the game starts. and this will be my bloody routine till the end of the MONTH!

i'm not COMPLAINING. SERIOUS. cuz i LOVE FOOTBALL...
and in spain's first match against russia, while david villa was celebrating the first goal of his hat-trick, i spotted something that i have been looking for...

in case you're wondering... it's not fernando torres.

but rather the band on his HEAD. i've been looking for a headband that size for god knows how long and it's no way to be found in MALAYSIA. yes nt even the capital!

talk about bromance... i swear the swedish goalkeeper wanted to be a part of it too.

after a while, it was hard watching torres because everytime he appeared on the tv screen, i find myself crawling towards the tv, my right hand extended to the front and my fingers touching/caressing the band/screen. i want it sooo badly!
i'll even kill to have it.

sigh...
apparently this band is pretty popular amongst football players.
even sergio ramos has one.

darn it.

n it's no where to be found here. life isnt fair sumtimes.

footballers, accessorized more than me, A GIRL!

UPDATE: SPAIN ARE EURO 2008 CHAMPIONS! WOOHOO! THEY REMAIN UNBEATEN IN 22 MATCHES... WOOHOO!!!! CONGRATS TO SPAIN!

OH WELL speaking of life and accessories on a less sour note, my partner in crime jus turned three on the 12th.

little 'bu-bu-chi' had four more hair clips as bday pressie to add on to her collection...
the pooch was zestful the entire day.

13 days ago... we welcomed the new year and no one welcomed the new year with wider arms than the singles. why?
2 words: red packets... easy windfall... mo money!!!
sooo unlike past years, i basically sat and pondered about what i should purchase with my new found fortune. it could be maturity, it could be the fear of being broke AGAIN bt i've finally narrowed my list down to jackets. YES... am gonna spend my money wisely by purchasing a fashionable jacket. it's nt a want bt rather a need... the current jackety owned isnt so white anymore plus i will be using it religiously soon in a four seasons country.

bt then i saw a really cute crop suit jacket in Esprit and wished i own it too.

so there i stood and pondered... well since i'll be using lotsa jackets in the future... maybe buying two isnt too much. i mean it's a need and not a want right, so that will never be 'over-spending'... so yeah... mayb i'll get two jackets! it's not like am purchasing something totally out of the list... i'm still buying a jacket... just two of them!

i was hoping to stick to my strict regime bt i somehow found my way to the shoe section and couldnt help but salivate at a pair of sandals i saw in sembonia. only problem was it cost a bombing RM119. for a pair of sandals? bt the cheap bata sandals i bought didnt last too long... so maybe RM119 will last much longer than a pair that cost RM49.90... you think? plus it's really really nice... and it goes really well with my red toe nails... nt many sandals can pull that off you know!!!!

fashionable jacket = RM200.00++
crop suit jacket = RM 400.00++
sembonia sandals = RM119.00++

that totals up to .... minus money earned frm ang pow... and that will leave me with -100++...
*oh boy! oh boy! breath... breath* i hate being a student who relies on the monthly allowances given from dad!!! *ok i should calm down now* maybe i should start working *seriously??!?!* but am too lazy. *sigh*sigh*sigh* i guess i'll need to recalculate and rethink the situation before purchasing anything at all! am no rebecca bloomwood... am responsible with money. *screams*

bubbles, on the other hand is pretty happy with her latest purchase (with my help of course)... money frm the red packet given by her favourite aunt spent on hair clips. the lucky bugger is contented!


and boy are those hair clips cute!!!

unrelenting haze and unproductive holiday are all reasons for one to find a perfect getaway... for few days now my mind has been wondering off to an imaginative balinese resort on a private island, with crystal clear blue seas and white sand where i lie for moments of relaxation and times where i am being pampered like the Queen. That daydream only to be disturbed by mom's loud commands asking me to finished up my chores.

little did i know that an island built by my own over-active imagination, does exist and has a name called Necker Island. Owned by Sir Richard Branson, Necker Island is one of the many tiny islands located in the British Virgin Island (0000)... n to think that i share d same vision as Sir Richard, the founder of Virgin brand gives me a double OOOO :)
so now am obsessed by this Necker Island that i constantly google on the net to feed my own curiosity and imagination... lookin for pics and information, like some hot-shot tourist browsing 4 further information on a resort before any commitments. only problem is, it'll cost me US$ 41,000 PER NITE, meaning US$141,000 for 1 entire week (ok you can put your jaw bac up now)

imagine a private island rented out by u that can accommodate u and approximately 28 other close frens and relatives, 21 private bedrooms wif no walls so that you can enjoy the fresh breeze n magnificent scenery, your very own swimmin pool with no other humans 2 share n b considerate with, your own tennis court, 5 star treatment, world class cuisines... blablabla oh n i almost 4gt to mention that it was recently rented out by ONLY the richest n most powerful woman alive, Oprah Winfrey so yeah i guess that explains the price.

so i've been doin some calculations... $141,000 is equivalent to RM 479,400

so say if i'll save RM10 every day frm 2day onwards...

shoot!! i'll b on my death bed b4 i gt RM200,000
(plan busted)

so ok let's try this instead, i'll study hard n b a *cough* powerful-money-making lawyer 1 day, marry a WELL ESTABLISHED MAN, sell my sister 4 RM 10,000, try askin Sir Richard for a discount and then mayb only it would work...

u think?



NO?

sigh, guess it's pretty hard 2 achieve that dream huh, i mean me, a powerful-money-making lawyer... yeah rite, n i do haf 2 face the harsh reality of life cuz my well established man could be a miser, my sister might nt sell for RM10,000 and dont think Sir Richard is ready to give discounts...
another plan busted.

owh well... i guess places lk these are best kept in your own imaginations and wildest dreams.
here's a video of Necker island... you guys enjoy d video while i go grab me a box of kleenex... watching it makes me so damn emotional now...

:D, hmm guess i'll go google for some applicant forms right now, any1 wanna join me?
