wasted my time watching arsenal play sheffield.. most brutal match.. literally.. sometimes i wonder, do i really support arsenal because they play pretty or because they are hte only team in the EPL that is actually playing football.. ok i give credit tt man u deserves to win the league because they are actually playing footie n can handle the aggressive nature of the game n even with a relatively star-less lineup, their consistency is sth arsenal can only dream of right now.. chelsea.. whats a team tts just abt their stars? stars tt arent shining so brightly might i add.. but the likes of drogba n terry and just unbeatable.. so wth was sheffield doing? granted the goal was an error on our part and good thinking by nade.. but heck the rest of the time it was rugby.. and the referee was so lenient.. i cud vomit blood.. or rather, our players would considering the amt of damage we received on our end. there has to be some serious reeducation of footie & I demand a red card for ugly brutal footie or refunds on good money paid to watch a terrible match.. heloo JOGA BONITO for goodness sakes..
hmms speaking of chelsea, i got jiahan chelsea calender for the secret santa.. i really thot he supported chelsea because he has their jersey! turns out he supports fulham.. :{ oh well but he says he still appreciates it cos he supports them when they're winning.. ironically for me, chelsea drew fulham yesterday.. ahhahahha.. my secret santa was daniel.. which was a bit anticlimatic because.. jon chen showed the present before he even called my name.. ok cos it wasnt wrapped ahha.. its a GUESS gift card.. and its literally a card.. haha.. very pretty.. and its a pretty cool gift actually.. more shopping here i come! hmm was too paiseh to ask whats the value of the gift card tho.. so what if i buy sth tts 100 bucks and only 5 bucks is sponsored? haha.. ill faint.
so slept abt 3hrs before going to masjid.. i know i shudnt be saying this kinda things but aiya.. its nice to see guys my age in baju kurung even the mats.. they look very adorable :) i shud spend more time at masjids then.. esp since they ought to be more alim haha.. hmm or mebbe its the lack of sleep tts playing with my imagination :) need. sleep. now.

when arsenal gets it right.. they GET IT! interestingly, watford who is the one playing the major aggressive football and busuk tactics are the ones getting their players injured and limping all over the field.. serves them right..
and walcott & baptista are the most brilliant super subs ever..
and the little celebration between all the players was so cute! persie was carrying walcott cos u know he's only 16 and prob damn light.. then fabregas came and patted walcott on the head.. so cute.. its a funky family of all shape and sizes.. with walcott looking like the tiny little brother n a family where they marry young: persie is married and fabregas is engaged wth!
**412 peeps i managed to rummage some videos from days yonder :)

every family has their problems they say. i dont like the tension and fear. i hate that when you grow up you realise that so many adults are actually not growned up at all. its all just maths. somehow, i am suddenly conscious of how i have become who i am and my principles. dont u ever wonder, if you grew up in a whole other environment, would you be you? or there really is no you because you're subjected to yr environment. I hate the fact that i know that if i had been brought up in a propaganda-filled world & hating others because they are different, I would be just like any of them. I wouldn't think what I'm doing is wrong because... there is no me. its all of what ive been conditioned to think.
maybe its just all the alias addiction that ive been thinking all this kinda nonsense but well as for new years resolutions.. i think i finally set myself one after years of laughing them off.. im ready to get to the next stage in life.
& i hope arsenal is too :) and that the 6-2 thrashing sends a clear and loud msg to all other clubs.. BEWAREEE! we'reee baccckkkkkK!!

this is FREAKY but pretty cool too.. was checking out the other coup from barca - Fran Merida.. playing for the reserves team against spurs.. with the blurry video, he was a splitting image of fabregas.. plus he is wearing the no. 4 jersey.. not to mention he wears a 'diamond' earring (when he's not playing) but his talent is pretty amazing.. the free kick he took, excellent.. and it seems he left a really good impression & impact.. I'm kinda worried tho that if Arsenal plays merida n fabregas tog.. itll be pretty to watch but defence will be SHIT! we need to buy a gilberto clone then since who else will wanna do the dirty work of a pseudo full back? wenger n his scouts seem to be really good at finding clones.. theres a persie clone coming up.. walcotts the henry clone (just see his amazing goals agst Germany in the U21) clichy's the cole clone.. oh wait.. the other brazillian youth midfielder will be the gilberto clone.. sigh! but itll be pretty awesome to watch all tt pretty football.. speaking of which i was totally screaming 'what a damn pretty goal!' at gudjohnson's goal agst Cup America.. it was so chioo from the pass to the final strike.. even more than a sweet fabregas pass.. n tt says alot..
oh and i found another vid on youtube tt interviewed fab, merida & torres in spanish.. n some pple tried translating it.. could pick out some of the words, but the person translating what torres said was obviously joking!
torres says : "fran, cesc, help me! have a word with mr wenger, persuade him i must play for arsenal, i couldnt bare having to play for man utd or chelski, i hate my atletico madrid kit also!" spastic!! haha but with my limited spanish knowledge i cud only understand bits n pieces of what fran was saying and zilch of what torres n fab was saying esp since they go at like 100words per min. mas despacio por favor!
had a mudbath today.. weee... an unintended one tho.. stupid kallang had to rain intermittently leaving us with a perfectly muddy field where pple slipped backflipped and splattered mud everywhere.. well mud is good for the complexion no? haha
why do the gd stuff come when i leave? itll be pretty fun to take part in certain stuff but i guess im always a silly girl who never makes the best of the opportunities she is presented with. when will i ever learn to carpe diem?
i only carpe diemed to watch eragon just now.. its like the shortest epic ever.. with kinda lame lines and i was forever 'whats wrong with the guy n the girl.. he doesnt even know anything abt her and he's going all the wya to save her and trust her and everything.. stupid idiot' n the eric bana of the movie had to die.. n the dragon was not fierce enough.. the liv tyler of the movie looked like a dragon ahahha.. well i was warned that the movie was like Lord of the Rings. a very short LOTR with not as much depth.. n i was wondering if eragorn is the same dude from peter pan..
hmms.. jealousy is interesting.. i love how its so intense n bordering towards hatred.. the passion tt somehow consumes u... is actually quite motivating..

stress wasmounting mannn.. n flamini scored.. then they didnt mark their men as hard as thye shud have but also cos tt annoying robben was running the flanks haggard.. last 15mins left esp after essien scored, u cud get a heartattack after every minute.. but gilberto was wonderful... being the perfect captain and defended so hard.. hardlygive him any credit.. so kudos to him

for some reason, even tho someone hit me in the stomach with a bat (lightly), got hit by balls at every part of my body, its my nails that hurt.. yes the fingernails. catching kennards mother fast balls was pretty fun but when i missed once n ricochet off to my right hand, it stung like shit.. but must act cool hahaa.. but now, the ends of my nails are the ones still feeling the after effects.. why my dear meddie frens? why??
in happier news, i found someones blog who uploaded some of the pgl songs!! ive been playing the songs over n over till the rhythm is ingrained in my brainn.. lalala
Pernahkah kalian dengar
Satu nama yang besar
Simpang lima melayu laksamana
Melaka yang paling handal
DIALAH TUAH!....
suatu hari nanti suram kan menjadi cerah
langit kan terbentang menyambut hari yang gemilang
suatu hari nanti majapahit akan kembali
suatu hari nani doa pasti dimakbulkan
impian jadi nyata bukan impi dan angan-angan...........
Langit malam tidak mampu
Terang bulan yang berseri-seri
Ku bersaksi pertemuan ini indah melampaui bidadari
Di sini resah jiwaku tenggelam
Terluah jatuh disambut bayu malam

thANK u to these 2 bedok-central-aunties for coming to the airport with me and accompanying me thru pples bday cakes which arent even their frens bday.. and dinner-ing while having to wait for me send off argentina-bound pple.. had tonnes of using-starbucks-stuff and non-halal-softtoy fun.. (& photowhoring with my camera phone when im not looking:)
anyhow, as those pple have a 24 hr flight, i had my own 'overseas' trip of my own.. the difference however was, by the time i slept that night, drove to JB and then to Geylang and then back home, they probably still havent reached Argentina hahha.. all in search for tt elusive PGL the musical soundtrack.. WHICH I STILL CANNOT FIND DAMMIT.. apparently new stock is only coming at the end of next week.. so ill contend with whatever songs i have now.. my sis n i were going crazy
reciting all the cheesy lines.. n eating the world's biggest non-ice-kachang ice kachang.. just look at it! tts when we were half way thru with it.. the only thing true to its name was the ice.. it was at some hotel where we felt paiseh just coming in for a drink, so decided we shud order ice kachang.. little did we know it wud take super long cos there was a whole crater of brick ice in the bowl, topped with chendol, atapchee, pineapple, corn, grass jelly, icrecream with choc and strawberry syrup.. the madness of it all.. well thats how a RM11 ice kachang looks like folks.. needless to say.. we were dying trying to finish it esp since we had a RM60 sushi lunch only like 3hrs before tt.. and so we didnt..haha

The HSBC Amanah Graduate Programme is a two-year analyst program designed to induct talented young graduates to HSBC Amanah through a nine-week training programme and three six-month rotations in different HSBC offices.
Since the central functions of HSBC Amanah are based in London, New York and Dubai, you may find yourself in any one of these cities depending on the business team you work with.

woooots suddenly i have an aim in life...

It might be argued that a genetically enhanced athlete, like a drug-enhanced athlete, would have
an unfair advantage over his unenhanced competitors. But the fairness argument against
enhancement has a fatal flaw: it has always been the case that some athletes are better endowed
genetically than others, and yet we do not consider this to undermine the fairness of competitive
sports. From the standpoint of fairness, enhanced genetic differences would be no worse than
natural ones, assuming they were safe and made available to all. If genetic enhancement in sports
is morally objectionable, it must be for reasons other than fairness.
The
deeper danger is that they represent a kind of hyperagency—a Promethean aspiration to remake
nature, including human nature, to serve our purposes and satisfy our desires. The problem is not
the drift to mechanism but the drive to mastery. And what the drive to mastery misses and may
even destroy is an appreciation of the gifted character of human powers and achievements.
To acknowledge the giftedness of life is to recognize that our talents and powers are not wholly
our own doing, despite the effort we expend to develop and to exercise them. It is also to
recognize that not everything in the world is open to whatever use we may desire or devise.
Appreciating the gifted quality of life constrains the Promethean project and conduces to a certain
humility. It is in part a religious sensibility.
It is commonly said that genetic enhancements undermine our humanity by threatening our
capacity to act freely, to succeed by our own efforts, and to consider ourselves responsible—
worthy of praise or blame—for the things we do and for the way we are.
