UEFA Champions League Champion!

It’s official.

I’m having a splitting headache.

Ah the perils and health hazard of being a fan of an English football club.

By 10pm Wednesday 21st May, I was already nervous about the match to be aired live at 2.00am the next day. The match to determine the best of European football clubs.

Typically, my batteries would be conked out by 12.30am but the adrenalin rush kept me awake.

Ironically at 2.45am, I saw the kick-off and the next thing I knew, the match timer displayed 20 minutes into the game.

I must have dozed off. Thank God the score was still 0-0 then.

6 minutes later, Ronaldo gave a brilliant goal header and put United in front. By then my heart rate shot up and beating so hard I could feel my own pulse.

What a blow when at the 45^th minutes, Lampard shot a goal.

Into half time they went and the score would not budge.

Then into another half hour extra time, still, no progress.

So, it was penalties to decide who would carry the prestigious UEFA Champions League trophy.

When Ronaldo penalty kick was saved by Cech, that was it for me.

Game over!

No hope!

But then a twist of fate.

Up came Terry and my god! A miracle; a slip and his penalty shot went wide!

There goes my heart rate way up... Hands clammy…Sit up right...

The suspense…

The first team to miss the coming penalty shot will lose…

When Van der Sar outwitted Anelka, I couldn’t believe my eyes and what I’m seeing.

Is it true?

Did United really really win?

O H M Y G O D !!

Indeed they have...

Champion of the Barclays Premier League and now Champion of the UEFA Champions League.

Glory Glory Man United...

Oh dear...I need now to nurse my headache. Ouch...

latest read - Bergdorf Blondes

I was watching E! Entertainment Channel some time this week featuring socialites in New York when they interviewed a lady by the name of Plum Sykes.

That name looks strangely familiar.

Of course!

I bought a book by her and have yet to read it - Bergdorf Blondes by Plum Sykes

I have been swamped these couple of weeks but thought I have not read a book for so long and I really really really need to get some literature in.

So off I went.

It was a thoroughly chic lit read and every chic lit read is a love story.

This one is of the narrator know just as “moi” with Charlie and how their get-together transpired amongst mentions of almost every famous designer there is in New York.

If any one would like to know how socialites live and what do they do with all the money that they have, this is a book for you - to know what goes behind looking oh so fabulous all the time with super gorgeous dresses, perfect face, skin and body, and of course, the "stress" that goes along with it too.

It is a funny story where I find myself at times laughing out loud with the way the narrator describes her situation and such.

I realized embarrassingly that towards the end of the book i.e. last 20 pages or so, that I have actually read this book already.

Aya! Memory failing me already.. or was the story line that forgettable?

WOOHOO!!

Manchester United has won the English Premier League for the 10th time!!

I could hardly sit still for nerves during the last game against Wigan, away, aired live yesterday night.

I have been following this league and this club in particular the pass two years after getting absolutely hooked on football following the World Cup of 2006.
I got myself a second Astro decoder just so that I can have the sports channel all to myself.

This win will fuel my obsession even more!!

I can't wait for next season to start. I am hoping that come next season, I’ll be able to watch some matches at the Theater of Dreams – Old Traffort.

WOOHOO!!

Let’s get the Champions League title too!!

what makes life 100% ?

I received this from a friend.
















How so very true.
