Cheers

Found myself in a Covent Garden pub last Saturday, just before the all important World Cup Rugby semi final game between England and France.

The place was heaving! With loads of beer drinking, high testosterone charged males waiting for the game to start. We got our drinks and positioned ourselves not far from the plasma screen. I even had a 5 minute crush course on rugby. And by then I was set for my very first full length rugby game and I'm going to try to enjoy this!

Not being in a live match or a stadium watching a sporting event before, this was definitely an eye opener for me. The adrenaline rush, all the ever so funny jeering, the constant flow of alcohol and the cheers! Loud and low I might add. Very manly. Very Butch.

And that is when I realised I have a very different cheer from the rest of the room. To be fair, I'm not saying that I was screaming but let just say cheering on Kylie before she come on stage in Wembley is slightly different from the cheers I was hearing in that pub, least to say acceptable (I'm sure some of you can relate to that!).

I found myself lowering my cheer in order to blend in with the crowd and when the final whistle was blown... England won! And the whole place literally shook! People jumping up and down, hugging each other and more cheering and song singing went on further!

I kind of just looked amazed. Really enjoyed the evening, was good fun though a stiff drink was required after all the excitement! So coming back!

Friends Reunited

Over the time of your life... you meet people... you make new friends. There are some who you'll take forever to know and there are some who'll take a minute to know for a life time.

Some 'friends' go... Some friends stay...

There are 'friends' who'll tell you you're their best 'friends' and there will be friends who will not... There are 'friends' whom you desire gratifications from and there are friends whom you will do anything for... There are 'friends' who you see everyday and there will be friends who you do not see for years...

So good to see you Lorenzo. Let's not wait another 6 long years before we meet again.

Take care of yourself and see you real soon!

Love xx

Deja Vu

Was out last night clubbing with friends. Our usual haunt with the usual routine. The fact that it has been a while since the last time we all went out together, everyone was definitely up for a big night out!

While in the club that few hours, things start to fade slowly and most things becomes a blur. Then one came and another one followed shortly after. A deja vu moment. I was in here before. I know this person before. Last night we chatted and I walked away after.

As the night progresses, my friends were ready to go. Again a deja vu moment. I was in here before in the same situation. But this time round, I'm ready to go too. Nothing in there makes me want to stay any longer. Not anymore. Not even with my state this morning.

Something has changed. I have.

Once

What a beautiful movie...

Amazing creativity and talent oozing out from the screen. True emotions coming from both leads that were just pure and simple. Chemistry, admiration, determination and support for each other that was transmitted not just through words and music, but also from looks and silence. On board of their journey from the beginning till the end. A very simple and extra ordinary story of two person's connections told in the most simple and extra ordinary way, with a touch of the ever endearing witty humour and attitude of Irish charm no doubt.

It touches more than just the heartstrings but also make you long for something that real, true and genuine.

The Lost Soul

Came across this song by chance one morning while on my way to work. And one person came to mind. The song is melodic and thoughtful but it was the last 3 phrases of the song that lingers on for me...

"...But tomorrow is mine. I finally know... Happiness is Choice."

I wish I am there to shake you up, slap you awake, give you a big hug, scream at you, offer you a listening ear, a gentle nod and smile, offer you my shoulder to cry on, dance ourselves silly, shop till we dropped, walk aimlessly, laughing out loud, cry in movies, and tell each other how shit our lives are... but for now this song will do...

"...But tomorrow is mine. I finally know... Happiness is Choice."

Fast Forward Mode!

Just had a mental forecast / calculation of how my time from now till Christmas will be... Arghh! It's going to be crazily busy! Work trips, business contracts renewal, work commitments & administrations, social functions leading up to year end... And of course Christmas! Oh my God! Help me! I need more time!

Why do I always do this to myself! All these mad rush at the end of the year.

I can do this! Just have to be very organised and extremely discipline on time keeping! I can do this!

I'm already dreaming of the blissful quiet Christmas week... sad isn't it?!

I Have Finally Found Someone!

Yes I have! Finally!

Someone whom I've been thinking a lot for a long while. We met one morning on a train when I was on my way to work... me still feeling down from my last failed experience, thinking what I should do to avoid this to happen again. It has just become so frustrating that I'm not able to get through it and not able to see something through from the beginning to the end.

How many times I've to go through this again?! I've to be very sure and make this work. I have to make this right this time!

After spending some time together, you start to know more of each other. My likes and dislikes. His capabilities and what he can offer. What makes him tick. What make us gel. He is funny at times and yet truly informative and opinionated at others. Time with him is always so enjoyable. He makes me laugh, think and sometimes even cry and always know exactly what to say and do. He is always there when you need him and finally no doubts about each other... no questions about our future... We think as one... We are one.

Yes... I have finally found someone. His name is Cable and he's a Virgin too! ;-)
