how much..?

some people say it, some don't.
some fear the word, some overuse it.
some consider it the world,
some find it just a four-letter-word.

Love.

i don't know how to measure it, maybe i can't quite define it, to differentiate it.
all i know is, i feel it. maybe it's the only thing that matter. how it exists in the littlest things, like how subash & suthev let me play Fifa 08 with them, how the bestfriend defends me when prakie was disturbing me, hemma helping me with cooking (cause she's da pro and i'm not!), how kavitha just held me when i was upset, satheeshh taking pictures after pictures with me and not complaining, prakie offering me his hello panda..

so much to say.. so much.
i don't know where to start, where to stop.
i love these kids, i can't visualize life w/o them, cause i spend so much time with all of them, sleepovers, gatherings, soccer, phone calls.

sorry, i'm not sucha sap. but lately i been thinking about them; how suthev wants his double date. haha.. indiana jones. plans to watch Narnia with hemma and company, race on dvd.
brother cooked yday. it was just us in the house and he asked how would it be if it was just the two of us living in the house w/o the parents. i wanted to say "i think we would get bored of each other" and seeing how frequently my brother isnt at home. but i just smiled. because it was a nice thought.. how he makes me laugh with all his silly and sarcastic comments, the way he dances in the middle of the house to some weird song or burst out singing. i accompanied him to the clinic last evening, although i didnt want to initially. he kept asking and i felt bad for saying no. afterall we don't really go out together much.

a brother is forever.
cause we share 50% of our genetic components?
it goes further than that (:

champs of europe!

sings again, "we.......... are the champions........."

muahahhaa.. okay fine, we got lucky, if john terry hadnt missed his penalty, i would have been wallowing in sorrow. too bad for terry but cheers to van der sar. finally a save! gotta say that cech did a far better job than him though.

ronaldo, well.. can't deny that his goal was brilliant; excellent cross from brown. still, he should stick to taking the penalty w/o any dramatics. it is SO predictable, running and then pausing before finally making up his mind and shooting the ball in. tsktsk..

next up: euro twenty-o-eight! haha (:

dinner at wendy's

"and i said, what about, breakfast at tiffany's..."

well, what about dinner at wendy's? guaranteed, there's no audrey hepburn but there sure is me. fine, that's too much right? apologies.. anyways, we met up (:

prata club:

top left to right: terry, qiu miao and uzair.

bottom left to right: hafid, clare, eileen and sivan =)

always the trio. if only i get myself a vespa and i'm sure i'll be riding the streets of spore....
and beyond (:

everyone loves ice cream. no? okay fine, uzair, miao and i love ice cream (:

we .... are da champions!

sings - "we .... are the champions ..."
WE WON! Twice in a row... Woo Hoo! It was an unbelievable night, Giggs scored! and of course the penalty by Ronaldo. Now to conquer Europe; Champions League!

Chelsea drew with Bolton. Fabulous. Boro thrashed City 8-1. Gareth Southgate must be one happy man but i have a feeling the match was adled with, c'mon, ericsson is leaving and actually i feel that he was a pretty good manager. they managed to beat man utd both at home and away this season. tsktsk.. club owners sometimes poke their noses where it doesnt matter.

feeling sorry to see Reading relegated. I honestly like them. Sunderland will be back for another season =) more of Keane.

caught the man utd match at kavi's place, it was mums' day! :) had dinner out, we had fun.. haha.. the match was pure madness, cause erm, some people were screaming.. me? no no not me, i'm always calm and cool..
.
.
.

fine fine, i was shouting. poor suthev. i think i might have squeezed his fingers outta shape.
luckily subash wasnt there or i would have choked him like i did during the man utd-liverpool game last december.

oh ya, kavi! thanks for the B-B! hahaha.. what a nice acronym.

to love like your own

i've always said that if i could adopt a child in the future, i would. partly cause i dun anticipate being pregnant ( i honestly can't imagine. let's not go there), but also i feel there are really too many kids out there who are without parents or even home. instead of adding onto the population, why don't we adopt? they aren't any lesser of our children just because they didnt come from our womb, right?

it's easy to love your own child. a mother's love, a father's love. perhaps for some, it might not be that easy to love a child who isn't your own. and to others, it could be simpler. to love a child like your own. biological reasoning hasnt got anything to do with it, yes i understand the feeling of love is heightened when a mother carries her child inside her for 9 months (for most mothers that is, disregard to abnormal thought and behaviour by a minority of pregnant ladies).
i would love the child despite him or her not being mine.

but well, we all know that singaporeans do not do the "deed" as much as our counterparts in other countries. we desperately need a baby boom, so leave your work at the office and spend more time in the bedroom, with your husband or wife. do it legally, lah.

PS: i'm honestly not promoting anything here. i guess i drifted away from adoption to a lack of birth in singapore. so,

adopt a child. love him or her like your own :)

Happy Birthday to my first love
