Why Messi Can't Score

Woah... I always knew footballer's life were in peril from playing the sport, career ending injuries, inability to deal with the pressure and fame... but this... your very next generation is in danger...

No wonder the man can't score. I also always thought, the players in greatest danger were the defenders, like Piquet for Spain, where he blocked a cross with his crotch,unfortunately, it was more of a "cannot get out of the way in the time" kinda block... Forwards/Attacking Midfielders are getting it quite rough... They have definitely gone beyond shirt pulling, elbowing and generally, trying to maim you before you get into the box... Hahaha...

Messi... sigh.. my favourite player currently... it's a pity he was so "suay" and wasn't lucky enough to get that few goals that he deserved. Nvm... he still young.

Now I am seriously wondering... Barcelona shirt, should I get a Messi shirt, or Iniesta... I like both!! How???

In Shock

I am on a day's leave, and a morning halfday tmr... cuz of World Cup, and the fact that the matches show at an unearthly hour. Also the fact that I haven't been taking much leave, and my workload of late hasn't been particularly heavy... all can be done within hours, with time to spare! :P So, I am in shock.. cuz of the recent spate of results... I am also starting to suffer from withdrawal symptoms at the thought that there will be no more matches to watch.

Soo... what am I going to do at home? I have no idea... I have overspent this month (am in shock over how I managed to spend so much as well)...such that I have spent all the monies I can spend for this month and next... so for my faithful readers (yes, the 2/3 of you! :p)... cheap food okay? Not necessarily always foodcourt, but ideally less than $10 per meal when we go out.

What should I do? Maybe I should start to borrow books from the library (it's free) and huddle at home (it's free) and just hibernate for a month or so, until the coffers are back to normal levels. The best is, the bills are in my credit card, and I am monitoring it manually it, so the bill is not in. For the life of me, I cannot remember when the cycle ends, so I have NO idea when it would become due and when I am supposed to pay.

With that lack of clarity, I end up wondering about which month's salary would be the one affected, is it this month, or can I stretch it to next... (Post Edit: oh, it's this month's pay... ah well, good news lah, just poor for one month, in August I will be "Yi Tiao Long" again!) Don't get me wrong, I have sufficient funds to pay them off, it just means the "thou shalt save $XX on a monthly basis" is affected by this... :P I hate not saving cuz I have this annual goal and I was more or less on track to meet it, now it may be affected...

Plus, my mom's 55th & dad's 60th Birthday coming up in Nov (yes, both Nov), supposed to save up for it... cuz these are all auspicous ages to reach, so we will definitely be spending a lot... dinner.. mebbe a golden tiger/goat? hahah... see how!

Now, my only conclusion is, I really need to get a promotion, and a hefty pay raise! HAHAHA... well, that's of course talking to the air and talk doesn't mean a lot, since I am on leave and nua-ing at home, instead of fighting really hard for my promotion! Not that I know how to fight for a promotion, other than me trying to do my best at all times. Hmm... come to think of it, how does one "fight for a promotion"?

Kill my colleagues, "Sar kar" the boss, FIGHT for big projects (but those, you don't deliver, you will also die an inglorious death)... any more?

Antisocial World Cup 2010

been in a frenzy watching World Cup recently... in fact, anti social behaviour has set in. Unfortunately, I do not know many people who watches...

So for the past week or so, I rush home everynight after work and I stay home on weekends. I am not really meeting my friends... World Cup is exhausting business and during the day, running around meeting friends just seems so tiring during this period.

Most football fans are guys and they have their own kaki, etc. Most female football fans are not around, or I don't know any so it's not like I can form a gang to watch... so I end up watching alone. Like I said, it's been and will continue to be an antisocial world cup.

So... my friends, if you want to watch WC, feel free to drop me a line. Standing invite to my place... else, I do apologise for the antisocial behaviour...
