5 top reasons to watch de WC then and now

1. Fabio Cannavaro - Defender, Italy (175cm, Sept 1973)

2. Michael Owen - Forward, England (172cm, Dec 1979)





3. David Beckham - Midfielder, England (182 cm, May 1975)









4. Kaka - Midfielder, Brazil (183cm, Apr 1982)







5. Cristiano Ronaldo - Forward, Portugal (184cm, Feb 1985)








so itz true tat guys become more charming as they age...look at fabio, kaka & ronaldo at WC2010...fabio is still rated as one of the most beautiful player, in de race with my fernando torres 9...and de 2 others stil top their team's list...BUT i'm stil disturbed tat my alonso 14 is not up for voting in de spanish team thou haha!

randOm

"Maybe mistakes are what make our fate...without them what would shape our lives? Maybe if we had never veered off course we wouldn't fall in love, or be who we are. After all, things change, cities change, people come into your life and they go. But it's comforting to know that the ones you love are always in your heart..."

am i a girl or a woman?

Girls leave their schedule wide-open and wait for a guy to call and make plans.
Grown women make their own plans and nicely tell the guy to get in where he fits.

Girls want to control the man in their life.
Grown women know that if he's truly hers, he doesn't need controlling.

Girls check you for not calling them.
Grown women are too busy to realize you hadn't.

Girls are afraid to be alone.
Grown women revel in it - using it as a time for personal growth.

Girls ignore the good guys.
Grown women ignore the bad guys.

Girls make you come home.
Grown women make you want to come home.

Girls worry about not being pretty and/or good enough for any man.
Grown women know that they are pretty and/or good enough for any man.

Girls try to monopolize all their man's time (i.e., don't want him hanging with his friends).
Grown women realize that a lil' bit of space makes the 'together time' even more special - and goes to kick it with her own friends.

Girls think a guy crying is weak.
Grown women offer their shoulder and a tissue.

Girls want to be spoiled and 'tell' their man so.
Grown women 'show' him and make him comfortable enough to reciprocate without fear of losing his 'manhood'.

Girls get hurt by one man and make all men pay for it.
Grown women know that that was just one man.

Girls fall in love and chase aimlessly after the object of their affection, ignoring all 'signs'.
Grown women know that sometimes the one you love, don't always love you back - and move on, without bitterness.

i belong to those in pink
is tat why XDDs are attracted to grown girls now?

forever young

had a tired but beautiful wkend...wish i can be forever young (simply love tis song)

frens r askin how i can lead a carefree happy life everyday...haha i'm jus glad that i've got wat i need in life, learnt to love, let go, enjoy every moment, enjoy music, pursue my dreams...i'm thankful for de life tat i hav now

soon i wanna experience freedom & independence, glad tat i hav no commitments to tie me now...life, is how you wanna live it ;)

腾腾

看了腾腾的演唱会，感触很多。有惊喜，有搞笑，有回忆。腾腾唱了很多，也有跳舞，说得不多，不过我很ｅｎｊｏｙ。

不尽又想起他。。。

想起他曾经播很多腾腾的星光路程配我一起看，痘我开心。

当腾腾唱童话时，又让我想起他曾经轻轻在我耳边哼，痘我开心。

回忆是甜蜜的。新不了情，王妃，收藏，打鼓，弹琴，滑轮！

aussie 2009 to 2010

ha read ying's blog on her europe 2006 trip while planning my itinerary over last wkend...am SO SO SO motivated to log my unforgettable trip in brisbane & cairns :p

was looking fwd to my first trip where i spent xmas & NY outta SG...tot i could party til i drop BUT NOPE, I DIDN'T quite...

Day 1: 25dec09, brisbane city (闷!)

had a bOring xmas countdown on de plane (miss my rebel pre-xmas nite gals), followed by thorough customs checks asking me & frens lotz of questions u wld expect dem to ask chinese immigrants (ya, itz true they are r*cist), then found ourselves walkin on a dead town (literally de shops @ queen street mall are all closed)...we took lotz pics here to kill time!

Day 2-4: 26-28dec09, gold coast (狼狈!)

met unpredictable weather while moving to gold coast on 2nd day...jus imagine sunshine on this street, cross the street we had to pull on our windbreakers and get almost drenched (n stil have to pull our luggage)!

v complains "this is the time when we need a guy" and i totally agree...haha

we had de impression that seaworld, movieworld & dreamworld are nex to one another & it wld be accessible by train/bus...we r completely wrong! spent AUD100s to reach our hotel @ marina quays international after lugging our luggage up and down everywhere! phew de cab meter makes our heart jump wif it every second! v got sick of de rides @ movieworld (me too..) so we skipped both dream & sea worlds...

what wows us here is de surfer's paradise waves..my untanned bum was exposed for a second when de wave "pounced" on me! *embarrased* this is also where we saw a bunch of hunks (approx 20 of dem) running towards us! but haha dey are jus training (swim, run, swim, run..)

Day 5-6: 29-30dec09, sunshine coast (温心)

Amamoor!

countryside is always warm & much betta! we were greeted by warm hosts @ aussie B&B...tis is where we get a real taste of aussie living and nature...had campfire, tried de horse rein, galloped up & downhill on y'saw, fed charlie, played wif nipper, and danced & sang wif john & cynthia

simple & lovely experience *muaks*

thinking of getting nipper its balls that i lost while playing wif it

Day 7: 31dec09, hervey bay (难忘)

fed de wild dolphins @ tin can bay (never tot 'free willy''s skin is so rough & patchy + needa pay AUD5 for de fish..wonder how much de 2 dolphins eat everyday wif de queue!)...continue to meet nice peeps @ winery...de wine really tastes great and is cheap (AUD15 to 20 each)! we brought some back home :X

guess we were too busy viewing de 4WD & handsome hunks on rainbow beach we forgot to book our fraser tour de following day haha! nonetheless, spent our new year's eve searching for package + dinner (ya most stopped serving at 9pm)

finally head to beach party for countdown (recommended by a young waitress @ mexican restaurant)...was expecting some sort of aussie zoukout but nope, itz more like party @ de padang! had great fun circling myself around de big field! met a young aussie cute BOY named michael who's 18! gosh think i scared him when i told him to add 10 to the age he guessed i am! keke

Day 8: 1jan10, fraser island (叹为观止!)

wat a great start to de year! sk was fined for speeding & v fined for not wearing de seat belt @ de backseat haha! v stil dares to ask de policeman how to get to fraser island when she's booked...anyway, these are exact conversation of sk (driver) wif policeman:

Is this the first day you are driving on this road? (Y)

Do you know what's the speed limit here? (N)

Do you know the speed you are driving? (N)

rest of day was simply splendid & awesome! fraser is the largest sand island & no one swims there as there are lotz of sharks & killer fish! and we learnt not to drive 4 wheel on our own as there's accident every other day due to de steep & winding roads

Day 9-11: 2-4jan10, cairns (刺激, 好玩!)

excitement starts the moment we drive up north from hervey to cairns @ 8pm, with only half tank petrol & no dinner, thinking that there wil be lotz petrol stations & restaurants along de bruce highway...luckily there were 3 of us driving, and we get to rotate every 2 hrs drive...itz a great experience...15 hrs up north, lotz of high beams, 160kmh on a toyota corolla (from europcar), lotz of dead wallabys on de road

you have never been to cairns if you dont sky dive & scenic ride & snorkel here!

de fishes were all swimming around me ;) tried scuba dive but nearly drowned! had a deep cut before my failed scuba =...(

Day 12: 5jan10, home sweet home

we are lucky to start wif brisbane and end wif cairns!

and if i have a choice, i wanna return to amamoor lodge & visit other reefs @ cairns! de aussies also recommend diving @ agnes water...i MUST return to aust (despite de occassional stares & jeers) cos i din get to see any nude beach or kangaroos or koalas or sharks or whales or penguins or sea turtles!
