Maxxxxxxed out
I got so much work at hand now! Stayed back in the office till 1145pm yesterday. Was supposed to go on leave for the whole of next week and I was already planning what to do for my much deserved and needed break.
And because of what had happened, my boss told me that next week's leave will be on standby and he cant promise me anything. Zzzzzz. No idea what time will I work till for these 2 days as well. He has asked me to do so much stuff that would normally take weeks to do. Yawns....

Weird....
I have a hunch that something big and disastrous is gonna happen but i'm not sure what and how and why. If nothing happens, I will be more than glad but if something really does, you read it here first!

Of balloons and buffoons!
Did any of you see the goal that Man City conceded when they played Sheffield Utd last weekend? This was what happened:
A cross came in from the left and into Man City's penalty box. Now, there were over a dozen of Man City balloons in the area. It should have been a simple clearance on any other occasion but maybe not for Michael Ball, the Man City defender. The poor chap was so confused which was the supposed ball to clear, he kicked air and left the striker with a simple tap in! Well, at least they were their own balloons so they only have themselves to blame. hahaha
Anyway, here's a stumper from Soccernet..
What does the ref give if a defender plays a DIRECT freekick back to his keeper, who slips and the ball goes into the goal?

Resolution
I know its late but better late than never right? It took me like 10 yrs but I've decided to...
Start reading...
Not newspapers, mags, tabloids, soccer news, Mens Health, but real books. Books that can be felt and worth spending my time on. Maybe its the company I have nowadays, but it makes me realise that I really should start reading and making up for so much lost time. I have always loved to read but my attention span just does not allow me to read past the first few pages of every book that I set my eyes on every now and then.
I was listening to the Morning Express on Class 95 that day when the Flying Dutchman (FD) said that he is a firm believer that one cannot go through life without reading. Reading broadens your horizons and opens you up to so many things that you would not have had interpreted in a way.
Now, Borders anyone?

Beautiful song..
I'm lying alone with my head on the phone
Thinking of you till it hurts
I know you hurt too but what else can we do
Tormented and torn apart
I wish I could carry your smile and my heart
For times when my life feels so low
It would make me believe what tomorrow could bring
When today doesn't really know, doesn't really know
Chorus:
I 'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you
I know you were right believing for so long
I 'm all out of love, what am I without you
I can't be too late to say that I was so wrong
I want you to come back and carry me home
Away from this long lonely nights
I'm reaching for you, are you feeling it too
Does the feeling seem oh so right
And what would you say if I called on you now
And said that I can't hold on
There's no easy way, it gets harder each day
Please love me or I'll be gone, I'll be gone
Chorus
Oh, what are you thinking of?
What are you thinking of?
Oh, what are you thinking of?
What are you thinking of?
Chorus(3x)
Thinking of you till it hurts
I know you hurt too but what else can we do
Tormented and torn apart
I wish I could carry your smile and my heart

Chorus:
I 'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you
I know you were right believing for so long
I 'm all out of love, what am I without you
I can't be too late to say that I was so wrong
I want you to come back and carry me home
Away from this long lonely nights
I'm reaching for you, are you feeling it too
Does the feeling seem oh so right
And what would you say if I called on you now
And said that I can't hold on
There's no easy way, it gets harder each day
Please love me or I'll be gone, I'll be gone
Chorus
Oh, what are you thinking of?
What are you thinking of?
Oh, what are you thinking of?
What are you thinking of?
Chorus(3x)

My space
http://saltypopcorn-not.blogspot.com
You probably have already guessed how did this blog address come about - I'm a firm believer that popcorn should come sweet! Popcorn that tastes savoury, to me, is just like Bee Bee tasting sweet, and saying that Pennant is a good crosser of the ball, im a good header of the ball, and the list goes on... Yeah but you get what I mean.
It hasn't been easy for me, I would say this is one of the most trying periods for me as well. The many tricky situations that arose, the ramifications, and for the parties involved in this. I know it has been particularly difficult for JL. To say that it was a rude shock for her would be a massive, massive understatement. Even I am surprised at how this all happened so you could imagine how she feels. To deal her such a heavy blow was what had been weighing on my mind all the while. It made me hold on, and it made me have the faith and belief that everything will turn out better and well after time.
In the end, I think it was more of procrastination and how it became the thief of time. When everyone tells me that they didnt see it coming at all, I wouldnt be surprised. I didnt think I would do all this anyway.
A step backward, forward, or sideways, I wouldnt know. Like what my brother told me, I made the step out and it was my own decision. No matter what happens, at least it was what I have decided and only I will know if its the right one in time to come. You never know if it was for the better or worse if you dont make any move at all. Think that really should sum up how I feel.
4 years 9 months and 18 days. It has become such a big part of my life that I feel weird without that special someone in it now. I never had a problem finding someone to share my thoughts with during this period. She has always been around, a companion, a confidante or a friend. The level of togetherness is something that only time would create, and yet it is exactly what time had taken away as well. Ironic isnt it?
I do feel lonely. I do feel lost at times. I'm getting better, but I guess it could be better. I know she's feeling a lot worse than me and it will take longer for her to recover. I met her this week and I thought she looked and felt better. I hope its not a facade and that shes doing all this just to make me feel better. I would want her to get on with life and move on to greener pastures more than anything else. I do not know if we will get together again. Well, that question should answer by itself, not something I should think about now.
I'm sure many of you are wondering what happened. We two look like the perfect, model couple to everyone. We seem the most likely to walk down the aisle and the least likely to part. All along, JL and I have had the same thought on this. Marriage was never on our mind because its too premature to even talk about that. I do not know if everyone around us was joking or if they really do mean it. I find it so absurd when I hear that everytime we go out together. My usual response? My perpetual smile to smile it off.
Not a single soul who knows about this told me they saw it coming. That's precisely what I did so wrong. I should have done better and saved her so much hurt and agony by telling her all so early. I have to say I am at fault for that and to drop such a huge bombshell on that night, it must have really hurt.
It had been an internal struggle all along. A thought that was buried deep within, until a catalyst came into the picture. How big an influence was the catalyst, I do not know. Maybe I know, but I do not want to face or accept the truth. I have had so many negative reactions and opinions from people that I start to question myself.
What have you got yourself into? Is this what you want? Do you think its worth it? Dont you think you are naive and stupid to be doing all this? Why are you abandoning your well laid path to take a step into the unknown and risk losing so much?
My parents are so concerned as well. My mum was so affected, she teared for a day when I broke the news to her. Every day, my parents would ask me how things are going and ask me to reconsider everything. Everytime I go out now, they would wanna know who im going out with but they are afraid that I would be irritated. Maybe that explains why they had to peep at who I sent home in the car one night. I am so amused yet exasperated at that. Haha.
Now, I think I will just take a step backward and take things as they come. To have expectations and dreams, it would only hurt too much. I do have them, but I think have to forsake them. Maybe when it all ends, I will convince myself that it was just a phase and it wasnt meant to be. I wish the best for everyone involved and may we end up happier and better than ever before.
