The Itch

No, not that which THB talked about in the past. That itch is well scratched.

This itch is literal and persistent and is driving me nuts. I've been getting these flushes of itchy spots all over - my arms, my legs, my torso... They flare up without warning and I'm driven to raving mad scratching fits. Until my Love starts to bat at my hands.

*scratch*

So I finally had to go see the doctor yesterday. He gave me these pills and offered some cream (which I turned down because I still had some of the same kind at home). Right now, I'm sitting in front of my new PC (thanks Ray!), barely clothed, with this cream all over me. Not sexy at all.

Also, I'm trying to figure out why the page scrolls with animation (imagine turning the animation function on on your mobile - it's the transition as you scroll through menu). It's bloody well annoying. If anyone tells me how to fix it, I'll buy you MacDonald's french fries (sorry, I'm on a save money campaign - Oktoberfest Baby!!!).

*scratch**scratch*

Oh, and I start work (temp, of course) at my Baby's office today. I think I might go collect this prize I won from CLEO magazine before work. I'm pretty lucky at these things. I've won many times and this time it's *gasp* a necklace worth *gasp* $65.

And my dear fellow Singaporeans, please don't forget that our beloved government has so generously gave us all some money to relieve the hike in GST. Please grab the cash before they change their minds.

*scratch**scratch**scratch*

My Love has a new poll up. So please vote! Should be fun ;o)

Being close to someone else again is so incredible. I love how I find new things to love about Ash everyday. And I know people around us are complaining about how they're becoming diabetic just by reading our blogs, and it seems like I don't have as much time for my dear Situ and Irene and Eunhye, and Liz's head is pounding from "BB ah!" and thoughts of me in that maid's costume *ke* (sorry, this part is kinda an inside joke), but I'm so happy! And I am happy that I have all of you to share this happiness with. Being in love makes me a better person, I promise. Haha...

My Gael Clichy is number 2 in the Player of the Season poll! Enjoy Clichy Week guys coss I'm positive that I will.

Also, you should know that my #1 lad Cesc Fabregas was named in the Euro 2008 Team of the Tournament. If you're looking for a provider and an excellent distributor of the ball, look no farther than the best side of North London. Estupendo!

Fernando Torres was of course the touted hero having scored the lone and winning goal for Spain. My star however, is still Cesc Fabregas, who said this,

"It's a long time since [we have seen] a team of that quality, trying to play football and put the ball on the ground and create chances and play beautiful football... Finally, football has the success it deserves. This is the best day of my life as a football player."

I know the lads are resting after Euro 2008, but what I'd give for them to come relieve this itch. ARGH!!!

Viva España!

And thus, with a goal from Fernando Torres, Iker Casillas became the first goalkeeper captain to raise the Euro Cup and Spain win their first title in 44 years.Coach Luis Aragones also became the oldest coach to win the honours.I'm so happy for Iker, Cesc and bunch. I know my Fabregas didn't bring his best performance, but really he totally deserves this. It was a shame that David Villa, the top scorer of the tournament, didn't get to participate due to injury.

The lone winning goal from Torres came after 33 minutes when he beat Lahm and Lehmann to stroke the ball into the back of the net. My heart was literally in my throat. I couldn't tell from the telly angle if the ball was on target. All I could do was clutch my Love's hand like a vise grip and pray that the rolling sphere finds the right side of the upright.Well, we all know that it did. Spain have been heartbreakers for the past few years, but now they've pulled a fantastic prize for the fans. I'm thoroughly satisfied. I'm inexplicably thrilled.

¡Viva España!

UEFA Euro 08 - And The Stars Collide

And so it is...

With the injection of one midfield wonder, Cesc Fabregas, Spain bamboozled Russia 3-0 and will be facing the formidable Germany in the Euro 08 Finals. Aside from the inspirational Cesc's brilliant assists, my highlights of the game were post-match when Cesc and Puyol both lost their shirts. Wow. Sweet.

And now I am faced with the dilemma as to which team to root for. Both teams are on my list of favourites - Spain, Holland and Germany. Plus, Le Prof reckons Germany has the Cup in their pockets... I don't know. I'll decide when the teams walk out of the tunnel - just have to wait for that moment when my heart leaps. Hope the very talent David Villa will play though. Would be a real shame for the top scorer to miss the biggest match.

Ray is such a sweetheart. He went with me to Sim Lim and put together a computer for my mummy. I bought him a cheap lunch in gratitude. Haha. So Mum (not that she'll read this), you have to be thankful to my dear friends who contribute so richly to your life and mine.

Am writing this from my Love's computer right now. She's away and I'm replying to the gazillion emails I've so conveniently neglected. Things are looking up on the job front, but I'm still confused. What do I want really? Damn if I know. A stable job that pays so-so, but would look pretty decent on my CV. Or temp and freelance gigs which do not afford me a steady income, but lots more free time.

Maybe I just expect Life to bestow too much luxury on me.
