so fc barcelona, campeónes of europe, well done and congrats! i must say though, that i'm not really a great fan of them. i'm feeling so upbeat about their champions league victory simply 'cuz they destroyed manchester united :D :D :D yes, very personal stuff here, but oh wellz ^^
but i think credit to them, they played really well. i think Eto'o was exceptionally wonderful. but his goal painfully reminded me of THAT heartbreak 3 years back -.- same sort of goal: cut in, near post...only different side lolz. oh and i think Puyol was great! love his style, seriously. and yes, Pique, that guy. i think he really shoved it all back down united's throats with that one heck of a performance on the night. in my opinion, he put in a near-flawless display, constantly alert to any danger, mopping up the occasional mess left by Toure, etc etc etc... honestly, what else to say? i think they were great, really. Iniesta, Xavi, Messi... really, hats off to all of them! and that 38-year old Guardiola, making his 67-year old counterpart look silly, goodness!
oh, and i finally had a spin on the Singapore Flyer! :-) haha, quite cool, but i sorta expected a more spectacular view at the peak >< oh well, it was okaaaay :| oh, and i was thinking it would be quite cool for the flyer to have a glass bottom, whoooo, exciting muchhhh!!! but then again, it probably would make lots of people freak out!
right now i'm trying to reduce my TOK essay by about 70 words for the final submission, ahh damn, sickening. but it's gonna be over soon!
oh mother, this june "vacation" is gonna be _____. but i refuse to let myself drown in work, nope nope. life is more than that! so there, take that!
i have been chosen to run with the wind

awesome HC dance night! <333 really cool, watching them shake it, and inevitably, i started thinking about my own upcoming thingum in august, and gosh, so very shkrewwed, i really need time and discipline to practise practise practise!!!! sigh, if only i were HALF their standard...
but didn't really enjoy the chinese dance parts heh =/ nothing personal, just my preference!
and the piggy's fetish for dark places, randomly walking around the neighbourhood at night to soak in the dark, what the! dark deserted places freak me out, urghh =X
and oh, tomorrow marks the end of the 08-09 EPL season. man, what a swashbuckling season, from the early dominance of liverpool, to their faded mid-season, to their subsequent revival and manchester united's wobble, the resulting hope for 'pool, followed by their ultimate failure, right up to the relegation dogfight taking place tomorrow, together with all the conspiracy theories, with united certainly having an eye on their champions league final.
but i'm really disappointed that arsenal have had another season of mediocrity (by their standards) and unfulfilled potential. i mean, to be honest, while i'm certainly not turning away from them, i must admit this constant talk about the future is getting rather irritating, and it's sounding increasingly like a mere tired excuse for arsenal's repeated failures. i mean, Wenger keeps talking about the great future of the club, but are these talented players going to stay to fulfill their potential at arsenal, if they keep seeing failure NOW? in my opinion (although i could be wrong), a classic proof of this point is Flamini's departure. he certainly was one of those earmarked by Wenger to grow and develop at arsenal, to fulfill his immense potential at arsenal, to contribute to arsenal's future glory, but after seeing that arsenal weren't achieving anything NOW, he decided to say au revoir to the professor Monsieur Wenger. (note: this is what i gather from news, etc, and my personal opinions, but we can never be sure of the exact situation over there can we?)
so anyway, if this were the case, honestly i don't think we can blame him y'know. i mean, a guy's gotta look after himself right? if he sees season after season of failure, you can't expect him to sit around and wait for that hallowed FUTURE can you? he's gotta look around and see where he can add to his trophy cabinet asap. in such a profession, time is never on your side right?
well, 09-10 beckons, and personally, i hope Wenger uses more cash. below are some of my ideas, however improbable some may be. just my humble two cents' worth of suggestions, i'm sure Wenger knows what he's doing.
1. all the talk's about Barry heading for 'pool, but i would love to see arsenal hijack him. i think he would be a great addition, perhaps finally filling the void left by Vieira. failing that, perhaps Alonso and his insane rocket missiles from the halfway line? then 'pool can go ahead and have their Barry haha..
2. if they're looking for a central defender, perhaps have a look at the manchester city duo of Richards or Kompany? i think their versatility would be a huge plus, being capable of filling in well at right back and central midfield respectively.
3. i'm a huge admirer of Deutsch duo Podolski and Schweinsteiger, but then again of course they come across as those typically "non-English type" of player, and you wonder how they would fare in the rough-and-tumble of the EPL.
4. if Downing doesn't fancy playing in the championship, where middlesbrough look likely to be playing, why not the lush fields of the emirates?
well then, we shall see!

carpe diem~
It's the heart afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance.
It's the dream afraid of waking
That never takes the chance.
It's the one who won't be taken
Who cannot seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying
That never learns to live.
seize the moment, treasure the now.
believe.

i really admire people who seem to have this unbridled, unconditional love for life, for living. theirs is a joy of living, a joy of the spirit, a celebration of their very existence.
it is this joie de vivre that is so terribly severely lacking in my life. instead, this all-pervading pessimism that makes it all look so bad, so bleak and gloomy. i don't know why it's like that. i don't think i've always been like that. perhaps life's beatings and buffetings have taken a real toll on me.
sometimes, in fact many times, i just want to sit back, relax, and shkrewwwww it all. like, seriously, heck care about every single shizz in my life. problem is, unless you get really emo and cut yourself or jump and die, doing that is gonna cause the shizz to come back with a vengeance and haunt you even more.
damn, even if all this can't go away, can't i even have a vent for surplus (emotion)??!! ahh damn, econs. *dies*
