The special edition books are here!

Very heavy though, so unless arrangement for collections are made, I can only manage 5 copies at a time.

I decided to get one too, and I reserve one for potato and my wifey already!

Yaay.

I have copies(many many copies) of the above hard-covered book to give away.

It is a pictorial book of the history of football, produced in 2004.

Do leave a message if you are keen to own one of this piece of history.

And if your friendly neighbourhood library needs a few copies here and there, feel free to refer them to me. Hurhur.

Product description from Amazon.com:

FIFA, the International Football Federation, celebrates 100 years of soccer with a beautiful gift book that every fan will cherish–the first official publication on the sport’s history, and the most comprehensive and wide-ranging. It’s filled with rare and breathtaking images, interviews with soccer’s top personalities, and other material from FIFA’s extensive archives.

FIFA has spared no expense in creating this lavish volume, which celebrates a century of soccer–and the care shows on every page. It’s the fullest, most fabulous history ever of this global sport, beginning with the ancient ball games that were soccer’s direct ancestors, moving on to the establishment of official rules (in a London pub in 1863), and continuing right to the present day. All the richness and diversity of this extraordinary sport come through in an examination of different styles of play, various stadiums throughout the world, the international media coverage, and the growing importance of women’s teams. Money, politics, personalities, fan mania, the youthful players who are soccer’s future–they’re all here. Above all, there are the amazing pictures, which not only capture the excitement of the game (with players caught flying in midair, and even upside down) but also feature posters, images from magazines and newspapers, and paintings by soccer-loving artists. Like the sport itself, it’s simply magnificent.

I am so tired that it is so not funny.

Will blog more later. Bah.

I am missing my internet access, and the liberty to surf.

Alas, straight after leaving office, I will feel trapped and have my wings clipped, yet again.

I know I haven’t been posting up Minibean’s pictures recently, and I promise I will start to do so, as soon as…. I can.

Pretty swarmed. Hardly even noticed the time breezing by.

And I am missing time at work even more these days. Hardly want to head home.

Home. Where is it?

I love the familiarity and security home.

I can’t believe I am homesick. Even if it was just a couple of days.

Note that it is envy, not jealousy ah… (careful hor, or else I sue you).

I was almost as excited as May when she MMS me all the way from Japan, where she had her true love from another true love as her early birthday present!

I can’t wait to see the Chanel 2.55 which Gary bought for her over there which comes with a hefty near $5k price tag, and the colour is not available in Singapore yet.

So nice!! I know how long she has been hankering for it, and I am just glad it will keep her very happy for her upcoming birthday. I think she is totally deserving of it after all her hard work, and her thoughts that went into his surprise party.

I also want to find a husband. Correction, a doting husband.

Those available out there already go bring others go Bali for Valentine’s, and unless I splurge on plastic surgery intensively to net myself one of those old men (cough, Singapore, cough, dawn, cough, plastic, cough, liar, cough), I think very hard leh.

I must save very long you know.

And when I save the money, I will be wondering to “zhng” myself first, or should I buy myself a bag. Then I will remember that I have too much to zhng, and I don’t think I can give the Chanel bag any justice

Not forgetting I have a big purchase coming up, and also, preparing myself for the days when my parents are going to ask money from me again(yah, parentS, no longer parent).

That’s why I have been having free lunches for the whole of this week, with the exception of Monday(D: Have you paid for lunch this week? T: Got! Monday! D: Cool! Me too!).

Not that we are cheapos, but it just happened that this week we have met quite a bit of vendors, and the colleague who is on his last day today gave us a treat on Tuesday.

So many wants, so many lusts.

So I will just be looking forward to see May’s new bag when she comes back to the office, and be careful not to drool over it!

Tomorrow is off-day. Woohoo!

The inevitable happened during a meeting today.

We were in the midst of discussion when I felt the itch.

And so, the next time when you see me folding and unfolding my arms incessantly, and holding them close to my chest, it may just be a nipple itch I can’t scratch and can’t wait to do so.

It has been a relatively crazy day at work, with me barely warming my seat for more than half an hour today.

Which is good, cos it keeps me awake after I had barely enough sleep last night.

In a moment of folly, I invested in something I had never quite believe in.

Forgive me, for I have sinned. I had gotten myself(I share with friend one lah!) ROCK BAND for Wii!!! WOOOHOOO!

And I don’t even own a Wii set! I must be mad or crazy!!!!

I think I “performed” over 50 songs yesterday, singing, drumming, strumming, and after 3 hours did I realise that I wasn’t in the mode that will enable unlocking of songs.

DUH!

Wah lau, I didn’t know I was that multi-talented.

I sat in bed, with my duvet covering me, leaning back on the thick hill of pillows. Sibei enjoy.

I didn’t leave my bed for dinner nor anything else(except for toilet breaks), until 2am.

Today is linked by a series of meetings, and I am very much tempted to give Playeur event a miss to go home to my Rock Band.

Random exchange over email:

“Tsk tsk, you are part of the Confused Ambiguous Team.” said me.

“The biggest CATs I know are …….(fill in the blanks).” was the reply.

“Tsk tsk. You are the biggest cat I know lah.” said me.

“Meow.”

“Pussy.” Said me.

“Prick.”

“Oh yes, you love me inside you, dun cha?”

“Er, this has all gone horribly wrong….”

It’s shiok to be a prick, isn’t it?

I am not sure which exactly is the culprit to the emptiness of this space, but the past week has been rather interesting.

Maybe it’s the comedy. Maybe it’s the building up to the time of the month(fatigue!!). Maybe it’s the good food. Maybe it’s the people who even remember to send messages to wish me Happy Mother’s Day. Maybe it’s because I finally played mahjong.

I even had my first Mother’s Day gift.

It has been plenty of indulgence.

Baby is back with me today and yet all I can think of are the matches tonight.

What a week or two of distractions. Enough for me to just grin and not do anything.

I feel as if I have been quarantined. SOOOO LOOONNEEELLYYY!

Except for the one meeting I had today.

Training one training, on leave one on leave, sick one sick, out one out. I am the only one left.

And then I have annoying vendors to get back to.

Sometimes I thought I am stupid enough you know. Until I meet people who can prove me wrong. Then it is so annoying and frustrating.

Then ah, I will feel so sheepish cos this must be what others go through when dealing with me. Hahaha.
