Blinded

After the gusty wind whipped me of my contact lens (directly from my right eye) on my annual pilgramage to my papa's hometown, I've been seeing things like the one-eye pirate.

I'm supposed to report to work today. But I think my condition will cause too much strain on my eyes at work, so I extended my leave. I will not wear my glasses in public if I can help it cos I look almost repulsive when bespectacled, especially with my current scratched and faded pair of specs. See for yourself.
So while waiting for my new funky specs to be fabricated, I'm home pigging out on the fantastic goodies I bought for myself - 64 pieces x 2 tins of 凤凰卷 and more!

Fergie Better Lift The Cup Next Week

My right ankle has grown to gargantuan proportions to celebrate Man U's triumphant season.

I wanted to don a Man U T-shirt when they lift the cup next weekend along pubs of Lan Kwai Fong. So after work on Tuesday, I trekked from Mohd Sultan to Tanglin, hoping to get something nice. Because there was no direct bus, the only sensible way to get there was to walk. It was a trecherous journey, with road works and eerie, overhanging branches infested with insects acting as obstacles.

Of course, I reached Tanglin to realise that the store has been replaced by a jewellery store. I jumped about in frustration about the wasted trip, as I was pespiring and panting more than slightly by the time I got there. I knew the Devil's Bar was closed, just didn't expect the merchandise store to close too. It must be a premonition to Man U's exit from the Champions League one day later.

On Friday, when I put on the same pair of pants that I wore on three days earlier, my right ankle started to itch and swell appallingly. I suspect a bug hid among the folds of my pants and lashed it poisonous teeth out at me on Friday. Now, the infected area not only itches, it's painful as well. If it aches anymore, I'm going to need crutches already. To make matters worse, I'm down with flu and cough, causing already chubby cheeks to puff up more.

And I'm supposed to go on holiday in a few days' time.

The Gruu Predicts

FA Cup goes to Chelsea
Premier League goes to Man U
Champions League goes to Liverpool if AC Milan goes through, otherwise Man U wins. (He thinks Milan will win tonight.)

Let's see if he lives up to his name, although when the predictions turn out to be inaccurate, he will just shrug and say his predictions always fail when he make them public.

My Mum Is A Closet Liverpool Fan

She actually got up in the morning to watch the match against Chelsea last week, and said it was a pity they lost cos they played really well. I suppose she was talking about the second half because I watched the first half and thought they were terrible.

And why else would she exclaim "Well done!" when Liverpool won Arsenal 3-1, and only scorned when Man U won 4-1 (I forgot against who) in the same week.

Anyway, I just want to say that it's annoying that Liverpool fans seem to spring out from all corners since I knew my boyfriend, a Reds fan himself.
