realism

I had an out of sort dream last night. It was all jumbled up with pieces of reality that I just had to blog about it. In fact it was a bad dream....

I dreamt I was at JJ's concert (which I will be going come Saturday) with my bag which had a spoilt zip (yes my handbag's zip is indeed spoilt). And during the concert in its dark setting, someone pinched my wallet, phone and this envelope which contained my Taipei air tickets (they are safely tucked in my drawer). When I realised this in my dream, I was so damn miserable and seemingly lost all interest in JJ who was prancing about on the stage very near to me. One day went by and I found my wallet emptied of cash and cards and dumped at my doorstep without the phone nor the air tix.

Stupid dream indeed. I guess I'm just stressed due to work, being the third person to clear the shit of two others who did it before me and not knowing where the heck the figures came from. In fact I did the whole job almost half-heartedly too...the drive just ain't there anymore.

recalled

I wrote a very pessimistic post yesterday and saved it as draft. Well I think I am not publishing that post...

Anyway, absolutely brilliant, I received a text message from the manager earlier asking (Note: Managers don't ask, you obey so basically that is a just a nicer way of getting things across) me if I could go back to help out with this job for the rest of this week. When I am supposed to be on NEGATIVE toil this week so Hooray, I don't have to subject myself to any more shit from this place. But there is still a very high chance of making me go on leave on the last week of June. Urgh.

rest

After almost religiously catching one match per day for the past few days, I'm not catching any matches tonight. Cos favourite few teams are not playing till the next match which is on Sunday 12 midnight - Italy vs USA. The last match that the Azzurri played...it was too late at 3am but anyway I'll be able to watch all (actually not all but selectively) the 3am matches next week. Why? Because I'm made to go on leave again...brrrrrrrrreeeeeegh. Stupid company and its even stupidier policies. I don't need to go more into this.

People are roaring around my neighbourhood. Must be a goal..ha.

Currently msn-ing with my CLIENT, oh my....she is super curious about my work life which is just about the last thing I wanna elaborate on a friday night. But it's better than she talking about work but I'm sure that's the last thing she wanna discuss too..Ha. It's AFTER office hours and normal commercial firms people do have a life. Unlike us. And also I have already pulled out of this particular job.

Another roar. Another goal?

Let's check the scoreline. As of now, Netherlands 2 Ivory Coast 0.

No wonder.

One can just hear the number of roars to know the number of goals.

Time for my beauty rest once again, goodnight.

England 2 Trini 0 (sweet relief)

I was starting to lose interest in the England vs Trinidad & Tobago match due to the frustrating nil-nil first half and a goaless second half still right up to the eightieth minute. Till Crouch finally struck in the 84th minute and Stevie wrapping up the match nicely with a late 91st minute goal. Both goals from Liverpool players. *beams*

Time for bed and I'm still slightly miffed over what happened in office today but no time for that now, sleep is more important.

geek talk

I am not done with this template but that is the best I can customize for now because I'm sleepy...I'm tired and I don't want to do anymore.

It is still pretty screwed up in the sense that my encoding (I don't know about yours) have to be repeatedly set to Unicode (UTF-8) in internet explorer in order not to have funny characters appear out of the blue in between my postings. And try not to view this in firefox cos it just plain sucks. The layout goes haywire. But at least my humble little blog looks more pleasing to the eye now and perhaps make me more motivated to blog regularly. Ha.

Spain 4 Ukraine 0. Yay. Although I missed the first 2 goals but was compensated with the next two. hee. :D

And yay again for both pairs of birks that I ordered have finally arrived..from Germany! I was beginning to suspect that the world cup has something to do with the delay shipment. Gonna collect them within these few days. WHee.

tae han min guk

大韓民國 ~

pronounced as tae han min guk in korean

The chant they led during World Cup 2002.

And once more 大韓民國 ~ :)

I actually went to google earlier about my lid twitching problem and the web results show that eye twitching is often caused by fatigue, stress and caffeine.

Erm okay, fair enough...I guess I'm usually prone to the above.

stop twitching

I'm not trying to be superstitious but lately whenever any side of my eyelid twitches, something goes wrong. The chinese have a saying about 'zhuo xiong you ji' meaning it is bad when the left lid twitches and it is supposed to be good when the right twitches. On the last two occasions that my left lid twitched, I received some shit news at my workplace. And on the sole one occasion that the right lid twitched, I punctured my palm with a puncher, in fact the two punch marks are still visible today.

And today it's the right lid!!! Wonder what self-inflict hazard's gonna befall me today or anything negative at all.....once again I'm not trying to be superstitious but I'm becoming wary cos of the above very unfortunate coincidences. And dammit it's still twitching!!!!!!

Regarding the Japan vs Australia match yesterday, have to give credit to Japan for their first half performance (despite the fluke goal). They maintained their possession well and did some beautiful passes and good defending. And for the other two matches, I only saw the first Czech goal and the Italian match was too late for me. Still debating if I should watch the S.Korea vs Togo match later (it's at a friendly hour) and 3am Brazil, arghhhhh.

soccer blues

I have decided that it's not worth my while to subscribe to the worldcup channels seeing that I can only watch perhaps 6-10 out of the 64 matches, after discounting the matches I don't wish to watch, the matches that are waay too late for me to watch, the matches that my favoured teams might not advance into....hmm there isn't really alot left. Furthermore I have the option of watching the matches streamed 'live' via the internet. Not that clear but pretty stable after experiencing the England vs Paraguay match.

Yeah, looking forward to full-fledged premiership action in August.
