Counting my blessings

Amid the sea of scavengers, Navarro's shirt was destined to be mine. the shirt was tossed into the air by the Most Valuble Player of the Singapore Philips Cup, volleying over the heads of those crazy supporters who were blocking my way to the front and sailed right into my outstretched hand where i was standing in space minding my own business. It was as if the shirt was shunning the violence of the overenthusiatic fans (there were these fanatics that actually dove at me. - all these seemed to happen in slow motion, like those you'll see from the movies- ). With my instinctive netball skills, i grabbed the shirt as it sunk at my fingertips and pulled it into my cowered body, ready to defend the prize with my back. ah~ the precision of a world class basketballer's pass, complemented by an amazing defensive move of a local netballer. HAHA. all this... even though i was a supporter of the opposing team, argentina (cos of the jersey color) .. Muahahah~ but...it ain't too late for me to convert a spain supporter. afterall.. i do happen to have a spanish name. (i think~) shld hav said 'gracias' to navarro when he signed the shirt for me..

Number 7 Navarro's sweaty shirt on me. Muahahah. 


Oh. the shirt was still wet when i grabbed it... and disgusting as it may sound, it happens to carry navarro's scent (i'm most probably just going to air dry it). HEEHEE~ i just had to put it on outside the stadium to fashion parade in. (despite shuang's advices to be wary of those over-zealous fans - she was afraid that i might get robbed. WAAHAHA!)

It's funny how exhilarated I felt then when i received the shirt. I wasn't exactly crazy over Navarrno.. I was incredulous at how lucky i am to receive such a gift that everyone else was vying at. So incredulous, i turned into a Navarrno supporter almost at an instant. HAHA! i began scrounging for his info cos' I knew nuts about him. And there was this initial high when the proximity of this famed basketballer was still fresh in my mind. HAHA. I guess it's the kind of 'high' that make fans go crazy. The endless pursuit of something a little insane to keep life from being mundane.

Must thank Zinping for convincing me to go witness professionials playing basketball live. It really is a sight to behold - not just watching amazing skills and tricks - but receiving the Most Valuble Player's shirt as well. HAHA. Now that IS really an experience in a lifetime. Muahaha. Even I don't get to change other 'not-so-famous-athletes'' shirt at the Commonwealth Games.

Lucky lucky ME~ what a way to embrace the start of my 3week holidays... after finally clearing the shitload pile of tedious assignments. What a way to celebrate the end of the cursed module that I've failed the past 3 times. I was so happy to dump the completed 2danimation into the assignment drive on that friday night, I kept smiling to myself on my way home. HAHA. Lucky I was taking the midnight cab. Bus passengers would have asked the bus uncle to drive me to woodbridge.

Before you question my sanity, let me tell you.. The last two weeks were really hell in school. I almost had no life. There was this day that I stayed overnight in school to complete 2 assignments due the following damned day, and other nights that I returned home at 10odd pm. And though I'm complaining here.. I actually had friends that stayed over in school for the whole week.. even through National Day! Now that is the sad life of a design student that I don't intend to pursue.

HAHA. MoZy's birthday happened to fall at the right time just for me to catch a breather. I haven't been exercising for the past two weeks, hopefully ice-skating is considered excercising eh? The endorphins one gets from sports is really revitalizing. We had close encounters with dinosaurs at our every exclusive 'hang-out' place as well. Heehee. -Zee Zcience Zentre-! The next best alternative to a 'time-travel' machine. Visit the place and feel young again -> down memory lane~.=)


Oohooh~ and of course, how can I forget that wonderful Saturday night..? It's been a long time since I've seen such a huge crowd of singaporeans gathered together at one place. Quite a nice atmosphere. Sometimes experience with crowds can be uplifting. (like christmas.) Everybody simultaneously tilting their heads skywards at the slightest hint of any commotion, ready to see the pretty pretty meteorites falling from the sky in the form of fireworks. Team France didn't disappoint. The series of colorful explosions in the sky put the stars to shame. There's the green 'Dark Mark', golden 'Ferrero Rocher', curly wurly 'twister fries', revived 'branching tree', rainbow specks.. etc etc. We even had some leftovers from the fireworks raining on our heads. Some ash got stuck in my hair, lucky it didn't start a fire. The last thing I need is an afro do. Speaking of which.. my hair is really growing into a forest. I've finally decided to go and rebond my hair after contemplating for so many years. HAHA.

So far.. my 2days of holiday have been extremely fufilling. Hopefully the rest of the week(s) will be as promising. =) I'll be going Malaysia tomorrow. Be back on Thurs, (with my rebonded hair). HAHAHa. Stay tuned.
