A day, is a day, is a day.

Two of my friends asked me what I did yesterday. And in sheer confusion, I said "huh?". Then, I realised they were talking about V-Day. Well, for the record, Hil and I don't celebrate the day because we believe that every day should be a celebration of love. Sounds cheesy I know, but it's true. Since we're on the topic, let me take a moment to reminisce.

My first valentine's day was 8 years ago. My then-classmate Philadel and I were on a double date with Delon and Hil to the then-Marche at Heeren. Ate, laughed, drank and ate somemore. Well, I can't quite remember the exact details but I know I received an Elmo soft toy from Philadel at the end of our date. Wait a minute, that sounds awfully wrong. Anyway, I was kinda disappointed since it was my first v-day with Hil and he didn't buy me anything. What a stingy poker, I remember thinking.

Well, turns out that the soft toy was a gift from him but he was too shy to give it to me then. Hil = shy, can you believe it? Ha...Things have certainly changed in the past 8 years.

Ok, whatever. I'm tired and can't write anymore. Happy Thursday!

Soccer Mania II

Well ok, I'm back to swallow my words from my previous entry. Singapore beat Thailand in the finals, won the cup and emerged as defending champions...But but but, while I may be wrong about the score, I still stand firm on one fact: That Singapore soccer s-u-c-k-s. No qualms about that. Doesn't matter if we're the defending champions. We are merely the winners of the Losers. The best of the worst. The flies on top of the rubbish bin.

Don't get me wrong. I'm totally exhilarated that we won, but when you look at local soccer, or should I say ASEAN soccer, in its entirety, don't you ever wonder where all the good players have gone? I mean, seriously, are those mookooroos on the field really the best that the 2 countries can produce? As an annoying bystander who does nothing but criticize, I have nothing further to add. If it helps, I do hope the team will improve so that I can be proud that they kicked the opponent's asses instead of waving my tiny S'pore flag in the corner of my room, hoping that no one is catching a glance at me.

I still can't believe we won. OMG.
