Just do it.

Nothing is worth more than yourself being happy.

just do it.

i dont think anyone will understand.

why do i feel peace only when i sleep?

no freedom. no democracy.
be it social conventions or safety reasons.
we are just bounded by them.
like chains.
on our ankles.
the key thrown into the seas.

just one chance to break out to be free. yet. the chance is .......

*let sleep drown your senses*

it all starts spiraling down when u ask, why am i born this way? i hope i am not so much of this, and a little more of that. but can i say that? i am unique and therefore i should love the way i am.

but if being me creates more trouble for me, should i abandon myself? i can almost see the fork road lying just one step ahead of me.

collapse.

it's not i've not tried. to be something more, to be something less. but, after all there's been, i cant deny what still makes me excited all this while.

abandon ..... it ?

i wouldnt want to think about it.

and so,

i sleep.

goodnight.

p.s. blogger sucks la. my screen cant load properly when i am typing this. its irritating.

'every holiday we go thru the same issue'

=(

Premiership: Man United close in on title

Manchester United moved a step closer to the Barclays Premiership title after Cristiano Ronaldo's penalty gave them a 1-0 win over derby rivals Manchester City at Eastlands.

Click here
Chelsea must now beat Arsenal tomorrow to prevent United snatching their crown after the Portuguese winger dusted himself down to slot home in the 34th minute following a foul by Michael Ball, who had escaped with a stamp on Ronaldo in the opening minutes.

Darius Vassell had the chance to draw Stuart Pearce's side level with 11 minutes remaining when referee Rob Styles adjudged Wes Brown to have brought down Ball, but Edwin Van der Sar saved the striker's spot-kick with his legs.

Sammy Lee made a miserable start to his Bolton reign after a Carlos Tevez-inspired West Ham boosted their survival hopes with a 3-1 win at Upton Park.

First the Argentinian swung a stunning 10th-minute free-kick into the top corner after Abdoulaye Meite's foul before doubling the advantage 12 minutes later, tapping in Luis Boa Morte's cross from close range.

Tevez then turned creator in the 29th minute, crossing for Mark Noble who volleyed superbly past Trotters goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen.

Lee's newly appointed player-coach Gary Speed pulled one back in the 67th minute, latching onto Nicolas Anelka's pass before steering the ball inside the right post from 12 yards.

At Craven Cottage, Clint Dempsey ensured Fulham's fate is firmly in their own hands with the only goal against Champions League finalists Liverpool.

The United States midfielder scored the decisive goal after 69 minutes, firing past Jose Reina after a neat one-two with Liam Rosenior.

At the JJB Stadium, Wigan's survival hopes suffered a potentially fatal blow after Mark Viduka's 29th-minute strike gave Middlesbrough a 1-0 win.

The Australia forward met Stewart Downing's right-wing cross to poke home from

six yards.

Benni McCarthy's 22nd goal of the season kept Blackburn's UEFA Cup hopes on track with a 2-0 win over Newcastle at St James' Park.

The South African striker beat the offside trap in the 14th minute to meet Stephen Warnock's left-wing cross and score from close range.

Jason Roberts added his fifth goal in as many games in the 73rd minute.

Everton moved into fifth in the table after second-half goals from Mikel Arteta, Joseph Yobo and Gary Naismith secured a 3-0 win over fellow European rivals Portsmouth.

Mikel Arteta's penalty gave the Toffees a 59th-minute lead after James Vaughan had been hauled down by Glen Johnson.

Three minutes later Joseph Yobo put David Moyes' side two ahead with his first goal since December, heading home Manuel Fernandes' floated corner from the right, before Naismith rounded things off with an injury-time header from James Beattie's cross.

Watford earned only their second Premiership away win of the season after defeating Reading 2-0 at the Madejski Stadium.

The Royals defence misjudged Lee Williamson's free-kick to leave Danny Shittu onside and unmarked at the back post for his first ever Premiership goal.

Fit-again striker Marlon King scored his first goal since October to seal the win, meeting Tommy Smith's 85th-minute cross from six yards.

Sheffield United's battle for Premiership survival will go down to the wire after they were comprehensively dismantled by an in-form Aston Villa.

Gabriel Agbonlahor, Ashley Young and Patrik Berger rattled home the goals that ensured manager Martin O'Neill's side won their final Villa Park game of the season with ease.

Angry Ferguson hits out at Premier League

Sir Alex Ferguson has fiercely criticised the Premier League for failing to aid Manchester United in their Champions League quest.

United tumbled out of the tournament at the semi-final stage last night as a fitter, fresher AC Milan romped to a 3-0 win in the San Siro which sealed a 5-3 aggregate triumph and earned the Italians a rematch with 2005 conquerors Liverpool in Athens on May 23.

Thinking post: ROMs and Friends

Monday, April 30, 2007
blog surfing once again. This time around read about another ROM of a friend. That makes up 1 fren with child, 2 ROMed. They are all secondary school friends. While they are the next stage of life of building a home and planning for the future, i am still hanging about; worrying about school, about jobs, about fun. Not in a hurry to settle down.


Marriage, afterall, is a union of 2 people, and their families to accept different values and cultures. What a scary thought if you think of it. It is no longer "You and your Parents" but "You and your Wife/Husband" AND "You and your parents" AND "you and HER/HIS parents'. Complexity of relationships triple.

Certainly, it marks the resolve and committment that a couple has to put in for the next 50(?) years of their life. Arrival of 'bundles of joy' comes and adds in more spices (hopefully, more fragrant and not pungent) to life.

Life. Life. Life. Drats. i realised (again) that i hit 20twenties. becoming an antique soon. Think i should get some age defying cream and some wrinkle free eye lotion later.

I think, i gotta prepare money for angbaos in the next few years.
