In the midst of euro fever. Rooting for my beloved England (probably coz I know the most players in the team?) but it would most probably be France or Italy in the final on July 4.
Not too successful with my betting so far.. only won 2 out of 5 bets. Only an amateur in this knind of thing; only know total goals. Ask me give how many ball that kind of thing, I am a total gone case! But this kind of thing, better not get addicted to it. Bet small -- that should be the attitude. I won't be able to take it if I lose big money.
Celebrated my close friend's 21st birthday at her place yesterday. The pretty lass was in such high spirits; it seemed as if she was reliving her 12th birthday all over again!
It was really nice to see her again as I haven't seen her in quite a while. Her other friends even commented that she was like the bride while the rest were her bridemaids fussing over her makeup and hair. I really appreciated the fact the the privileged few of us took another photo with her after everyone as her "closest friends", almost like having braved major thunderstorms together. All my earlier feelings of apprehension and unfamilarity were all but dispelled.
Friends are for life. This, I strongly believe. (Of course, family too.) However, I also believe that this is not for granted. Like another other relationship, effort must be taken in order to maintain the closeness and warmth between friends. Agreed?
Throat feeling a little sore now.. haha.. Spent an afternoon singing ktv today.. Super fun! We sang so many songs, although some of them were like from ancient times!
I just feel singing can really boost one's confidence.. wonder if endorphins are released and you just feel "high" as the time progresses.. Just a thought.
Whatever. Anyway, I know I would start getting super bored soon as the holidays pass week by week and I edge closer to the start of the semester..
In the midst of a novel by Robyn Sisman, titled "Perfect Strangers". Absolutely engaging, although my progress is slowing coz I simply can't bear to finish it!
Can perfect strangers ever fall in love? The fantasizing side of me tells me it's possible, but the logical side of me tells me it's extremely hard. The relatively cold receptiveness of Singaporeans in general towards online dating, match-making and what-have-yous just point to the fact.
This brings me to, though probably irrelevant, my thoughts of a movie I watched recently, "Turn Left Turn Right". It's about this couple who long to see each other again but fails time and time again despite them just living just a wall apart. Predictably, I sat through the movie cursing and feeling annoyed and impatient and wonder when they can finally meet.
But, hey! Wake up! This kind of plot and fairytale ending is just too good to be true! But, then again, it's good enough for "fantasizers" like me!
True blue Gemini. Prone to bouts of split personality. Loves shopping, not rich enough to enjoy retail therapy yet. Bank balance is not dwindling at the moment but time has become such a precious commodity that I wish my bank balance could dwindle a wee bit more to satisfy my shopping indulgence! sigh~
