THE match of the season..and it's soooooo disappointing! Barcelona vs Real Madrid..maybe it's partly because of the atmosphere in Barcelona's stadium? the crowd was quite hostile..and they jeered at figo every time he touched the ball..but still..3-0 defeat is really baaaaad..

I almost got an heart attack when eto'o almost scored..iker didn't hold on to the ball tight enough..luckily roberto carlos cleared it in time and iker held on tightly to it..who says spaniards r racist? iker, for one, isn't..eto'o approached him after this incident..and they shook hands and pulled each other nearer for cheek-to-cheek embrace in the end..he didn't mind one bit..so..it all boils down to individuals..isn't it? anyway..the first goal conceded was horrible! the commentators even said it was a comedy..it's bound to be the worst blunder of the wk during the spanish la liga highlights..there was no communication btwn carlos and iker at all..iker made a terrible mistake by running out to the edge of the penalty box..and carlos wasn't paying attention when he passed the ball to iker and eto'o intercepted the pass and scored without a sweat..they should know he's always lurking in tt area..so they should be more cautious of him! I was shocked and stunned! it was too painful to watch..yet they replayed it again and again! the commentators said it was mostly carlos' fault as he should know iker couldn't use his hands to hold on to the ball..so carlos should pass the ball back to the midfield instead..but for the first time..i think iker was at fault too..he just had to share the blame..subsequently..RM seemed lethargic..the strikers seemed to be non-existent..esp raul..he's almost invisible..i even forgot he's in the game..ronaldo couldn't continue his magnificent form fr last wk..and the defence was messy..too many loopholes and the Barca players were left unmarked..HAIZ..

I hope they will do better in the upcoming CL this wk..they just have to bounce back fr the defeat even though it's painful..HAIZ..yesterday was really a horrible day for me cos the players and team I supported all lost! Andy Roddick lost to Lleyton Hewitt in straight sets! he was angry and smashed his racquets..yet he seemed dazed too..maybe he's too tired..Marat Safin lost to Roger Federer in straight sets too..actually tt one kinda expected..cos no one at the moment is able to defeat Federer yet..he's in another league of his own..unless he's really tired or wasn't focusing..but he is one player whom I admire..but not really a fan of..

Anyway..went for my cousin's housewarming today..didn't feel like going in the first place cos I slept quite late last night or maybe early..cos I slept at 7 am (yes..again!)..couldn't wake up but still..no choice la..her house was quite warm and the lunch buffet was okay..nothing special abt the renovations of her house..it's just like normal condo interior even though it's a flat..it's actually more of a reunion for all of us rather than a housewarming..just went there to chat with my cousins and being really lame..nothing to do..finally it's time to go!! I actually wanted to go to Botanic Gardens with pei..but then it rained..unfortunately..so we just roamed ard Orchard lor..looking at hot models fr BVLGARI..both of them r soooo tall and slim..their legs seemed to start fr their waists! phwoar..hot sia..then went to paragon for dinner at NOOCH..hmm..the menu had soooo many words..it's just like reading a bk instead of a menu! dunno what to eat oso cos too many choices..finally settled on seafood chicken egg noodle with tom-yum soup..it's my first time eating there cos previously all my frenz said it's not nice..but decided to give it a shot cos really dunno what else to eat liao..hmm..the food is nothing special..just like normal stuff..but the only prob is they dun serve ice water! so u just hafta order drink fr them..I ordered this peppermint tea..and it doesn't taste gd..haiz..anyway..we had a fun time exploring the paragaon market place..lots of interesting and healthy food over there..when we saw the Vanity Fair mag on the rack..both of us were so excited and exclaimed loudly..so we just stood there to flip thru it..pei only wanted to c if there's any pic of Johnny Depp la..chey..

Along the Orchard road..there are buskers performing trying to raise money for charity..they r mostly fr Canada..watched this performance by this french guy fr Montreal..he performed stunts like juggling swords (real)..placing rose or cigarettes in his mouth or on his head..then used a whip to lash at it so tt it will be gone..then climbed up the ladder..the steps were blades instead! it's a dangerous act..he had to climb up to the top then stand on one leg and juggle..he managed it flawlessly..interesting..but the more interesting busker is the artist who painted on the tiles..he painted spiderman, superman and some others..today he painted a main who was half naked..he wrote some words at the bottom left to describe this painting..apparently the elves were being naughty and rebelled..sending santa to exile..a grp of kung-fu experts (something like tt) helped him and he gained power and went back to north pole to reclaim what's his..couldn't really his painting clearly cos it's night time already and it's painted in black and white..nevertheless..it looked wonderful to me..and both of us donated to him instead..hmm..then we went to Wheelock Place..cos pei wanna take shots of the interior of the building..it had a cone shaped top and extended high into the sky..it's really nice with all the lightings and it's made of transparent green glass..she's trying to get the best shot without those hanging snowflakes getting in the way..FINALLY she got the shot she wanted..we were both tired by then and so we went home..we basically slacked the whole day liao..

Time passed really slowly for both of us but we did it! there's really nothing for us to do..haha..we r so FREE!!haven had this kind of feeling for a long time..before i know..sch will start again..so i better make full use of this hols!!
