Thank Heavens Its Over

Its about time I updated my blog.

Feels like I never have the time for anything these days. Blogging, couch-potato-ing, sleeping....all seems are taking a back seat. Its been work, work, work.

Though, I do hope that things can slow down from now on - now that all the major events are over.

Its been hell seriously. Staying in office for more than 15 hours everyday, I'm constantly in a situation where a million things can go wrong. You simply cant imagine the tense and stress level. And not to mention the constant fight against gastric pains.

And to make matters worse, I'm suppose to be in-charge of the sound system during the events. And what have I learned? Never, never, never be the person in-charge of the sound system. The moments where you have to hit the music at the precise timing is damn stressful. It feels like you're shitting in your pants.

Still, I admit....I did cock-up a few times and trust me; I got a good buttering from my boss later on.

In the end, I guess its a good learning experience. The first thing I did after all this has ended was to treat myself to a good meal. And when I mean good....you better believe it. A few words came to mind......sushi, gratin and abalone.

I'll be updating my blogs with the pics of all my scrupcious dining experiences soon.

Right now....I have to head for work again.

A Different World

Man, I never knew finance and investments is this exciting.

Its 3am and I'm still in office. Guess this is my virgin entry from office.

Been staying in office till about 5am these days as we're having the trading championship. And what can I say?

I'm introduced to a world that I never knew existed. All my life when I go home, and go to sleep; I never knew that on the other side of the world.......the excitement begins. Every word uttered by the financial masters in the US market sends ripples throughout the financial world.

From the opening bell to the closing bell.....the 8 hours between is sheer excitement. Sitting here with all the traders, you can literally feel their adrenaline rushing in their veins.

Will report more when its all over....

Been damn busy for the past few weeks....*average sleeping time for the past 2 weeks; 4 hours/day*

Forza Azzuri, Viva Le Bleu

Time sure flies....

Its been a while since my last post and boy I've been busy. All the talk about only having to work from 9am to 6pm, Mondays to Fridays.....seems to be only; talk.

For the past couple of weeks, been busting my chops off at work. Staying back till 9pm everyday, working every other Saturday. And when it comes to Sundays? My idea of the best use of the time I have is to....sleep.

But enough about work. I just realised that throughout all my previous post.....I havent talked about the WORLD CUP!!!! How could I?!?!?

So far, this particular year's World Cup has been seriously exciting and unpredicatable. To be honest, the best matches I have seen so far is the opening match between Germany and Ivory Coast and the match between France and Brazil. Of course, at the end of this match....the La Bleus sent the Samba Boys packing. Brazil just didnt have what it takes to win the Cup this year. All the hype about Ronaldinho and Ronaldo is all for naught. None of then delievered.

And not to mention.....England. All the excitement, hype and build-up....ended with one pathetic penalty shoot-out. I mean, weeks before the World Cup, there was the Rooney fiasco. Everyone thought that the moment this Wonder Kid stepped on the field, magic's gonna happen.

Amongst all the other 32 teams, England has the most publicity. Everyone is talking about it. The kopitiam uncles, the coffee drinking execs, the toilet cleaners and the Char Koay Teow auntie.

But in the end, what happened? Nothing. Rooney didnt do magic. Peter "I'm-confused-NBA-Robocop" Crouch didnt manage to dance. Theo Willcott didnt even run. And the worse? Lampard.

Total shots on Goal = 22.
Goals = 0

How bad unlucky can they get?

One team that really impressed though, is Germany. Boy, I was rooting for the Germans all the way from their opening match. Young they may be, but they really put on a show. Klose still has his magic finishing touches (wonder why he aint so famous on club levels). And to me the best German player? Philip Lahm. A left full back that can score goals. Need I say more?

Though, in they end they were beaten by the Azzuris. I cant help to feel a little bit sad for Klinsmann. The German lagend was about to repeat the feat of the another German lagend Franz Beckenbauer. The only man who won the World Cup as a player and as a manager.

Nonetheless, I'm still every bit of excited for the showdown tonight. Its Italy vs France. Never really expected such a Finals. Given a choice....me rooting for France! Why? Cos the King is there. Being an Arsenal fan-boy, I hope to see King Henry does his magic tonight. Oh...of course there is Zidane too. Hehe.

So, as far as my days go, its only the World Cup for me......though...there's PANGYA!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone heard of this online game before? I've been playing it like NUTS!!! Intro-ed to me by Don, this simple online game of golf is damn addictive man. If there was any better reason for a break-up between a girl and a guy...this game would be it.

Somehow, we just cant seem to get enuff of it. If ever anyone wants to give it a try, click here.

Maybe its a guy thing. We dont grow up. But trust me, if you have a thing for online gaming. You'll find yourself...Pangya-ing even in your dreams.
