Serenade

Just posted pics of our recent trip to Venice in FB. So now tgh jiwang, reminiscing about the good times we had strolling along the long, narrow streets (sampai sesat tak jumpe jalan pulang while kaki dah rase nak tercabut), eating pizza or pasta almost 3 times a day (deliciousss but arghh gemoks!) and of course the best of all - the romantic gondola ride on the small canals of Venice. I want to live in Venice just for the gondola rides!

Anyway, here's a video of a gondola ride with serenade (which we did not take because no.1 it's crazy expensive and no.2 we prefer the slow and quiet ride - I think it's more romantic that way). I found both the song and singer very cute heheh!

Italy or Spain?

Bloody hell, Italy vs Spain in Euro 2012 final?! Ngaaa...I'm torn! 

I know I said I've switched team and am supposedly supporting Spain now. But I didn't expect Italy to go this far hahah! Yes, I was turned off after reading about the match-fixing scandal in the team and yes, Gigi Buffon now nampak macam samseng jalanan who has anger management issues to my eyes (ape daa captain macam gangster), but I also can't help but think, "Awww...Cannavaro must be very proud of the team now." And that thought makes me wanna go back to being an Italy fan again heheh!

Plus, I had a GREAT time in Rome & Venice recently - even sempat tengok match Italy vs Ireland (Italy won 2-0) at an Italian version of kedai mamak in Venice (hohoh very surreal to be among the real Italian fans - see video below), so I dunno, maybe I should be supporting Italy all the way?

Oh well, who cares which team I support anyway. It's not like I give millions of dollars to these teams pun =p. I'll just be happy whichever team wins coz both are my top 2 choices from the start ngehehe...

Update: Spain deserved to win coz they played beautifully. Italy, IMHO, did not put up a good fight at all. What happened there Azzuri? *sigh*

I Love Us

No clever or cheeky sayings this year. Just a quote from one of my favorite movies of all time, because you are one of my favorite persons in life...

Happy Anniversary, babe! Thanks for THE BEST anniversary getaway ever =D

Euro 2012

It's Euro 2012 now. Usually I'd pick a team with the most gorgeous players and blindly support them without any other meaningful reason. But since I'm now a little bit older, and supposedly wiser, I want to say that I have learned to look beyond the superficial-ness of things, that what's inside is more important than the outside, that physical appearance doesn't mean a thing. But I can't say that haha, I seriously can't - not when it comes to Hollywood celebrities or sportsmen ngehehehe.

In previous years, I've pledged my support to the Azzuri because they had exactly what I was looking for in a football team - incredibly hot, gorgeous players =p. But this year, most of the good-looking players who used to be my favorite to watch have already left the team due to old age (well, old age in sports world lah, not the real world), except maybe for this green/blue-eyed guy, Claudio Marchisio. (But somehow he kinda looks  different now - I think he's lost too much weight since I last saw him, which was 2 years ago, during the World Cup hahah!)

And then there's this whole match-fixing scandal that has caused several of their players to be put under investigation and cut from the squad. Even Gigi Buffon pon suspected of betting, but as the report said, he has not been charged with any wrongdoing, yet. Aisehmannn... dah tak bestlaa pulak kalau ini macam. 

So this year, I'm switching teams. Sempena Rafael Nadal (another undeniably gorgeous sportsman hehe) menang French Open and returning to No.1 in ATP rankings, I've decided, like Kirah, I'm gonna support Spain for Euro 2012 hehe. Plus, Captain Casillas is kinda cute too =p

Random Updates

While I was huffing and puffing at the gym today, someone changed the TV channel from some travel program to MTV. And the show that was on MTV at the time? A reality series called 'I Used To Be Fat'. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry upon seeing that.

Dear SRB has been in Iraq since Monday and won't be back until Sunday. This will be the first time he's staying there over the weekend - booo! But since weekend trips = more off days, then okaylaa I feel a lil bit better about spending the weekend here alone. (Just a little bit je tau, dear.)

We got a call from a real estate agent a couple of weeks back telling us that she'd be coming over to take some pictures of the house coz the landlord is planning to sell it. Bloody hell. I am sooo NOT looking forward to move, especially during the blazing summer months ngaa! While it is perhaps exciting to look at new apartments in new places, it is not very exciting to pack, unpack & manage all those business of cancelling the old & registering new phone line, internet, TV package, gas, etc. 

On a happier note, I can't wait for our trip next week =D. Until then, buona notte everyone!

Happy Bday Dear Husband!

Every once in a while, special people are put on this earth. People with deep passion & immense love for others. People with hearts much greater than average. And today, one of them would like to wish you Happy Birthday.

Thehehe...Happy Birthday, babe! Your heart is much greater than average too =)

Parents Behaving Badly

"No one player is bigger than the team," said Ben. "Not you, not anyone."

Logan grabbed his glove, brushed past Ben, and mumbled, "Whatever."

Few words rankled Ben more than whatever. It had been a perfectly innocuous pronoun for eons before teens turned it into the verbal equivalent of giving you the finger.

Come to think of it, yeahhh, it IS the verbal equivalent of giving people the finger hehe.
