flu virus not thoroughly destroyed by body's immune system. had been crashing lotsa drug delivery system into my head for mon's test. dreaded to go to glasgow uni, have to fork out 1.90 for subway juz for 3 hrs of stupid time-wasting IPL session.

then.. hk told me i've got a parcel. wat?! huh?! parcel?! me?!

Manchester: glorious foodball

Dec 3rd: after enduring a dizzy 5 hr bus journey (the seat.. 87 degrees, wth!) , FINALLY arrived in MANCHESTER!

destination-TAI WU restaurant. once entering, i was welcomed wif the sight of all-chinese diners n a waiter yelling a table number in cantonese! ahhh the smell of chinese restaurant=) everything effortlessly oozes wif familiarity, awww juz like msia.


7 of us. kim hoe super outcast haha.

n boy they reli serve yummy dim sum over here!

every bite of those dim sum n chiong fun sprinkle wif bit of lat zhiu yau (chili oil), thats heavenly!!

ya i took a 5 hr bus ride juz to satisfy my dim sum craving,
JUZ FOR THIS!!

ok obviously i'm kidding.

when the time comes, here v r in OLD TRAFFORD. can u blif it... OLD TRAFFORD!!! it's so great to c it rite in front of u... even if i'm so not an ardent MU fan. ya those mu fan like dear DAH NAIK GILA!

took off our jacket juz to flank our jersey when it's sooo damn cold. don care la!!

inside megastore, the 1 where ppl feeding money into tabung man u by buying sum made-in-china merchandises.

liverpool traitor


eh ni betul2 ambik dgn players punya, bukan wallpaper.

entered the stadium n got our seat, behind the goal post. i'm rite inside the darn stadium that ppl at mamak stall watch it tru a big projector screen. woohoo! to b in the theatre of dreams is reli like a dream!

surrounded by sea of chili red chairs.

MAN U vs FULHAM
the match started n wee~hee~ i'm watching LIVE!!!

juz to irritate u, LIVE, not tv/ projector screen ok.

the crowd response was not as crazy as a scottish match. no deafening cheers. they did have funny sing-alongs n clap-alongs tho keke.

".. Take me Home, United Road. To the place, where I belong. To Old Trafford.."
"United, stand up!" (juz stand up when u hear this haha.)
UNITED! *clap clap clap

the BEST part was that when the players come attacking almoz near the penalty box, every1.. mine u EVERYONE wil bounce from their seat generating a big wave. it took me no effort at all to blend in. the nx thing i know i'd bounced from my chair automatically at the rite timing, peppering the situation wif many OOHS n AHHS, oh so FUN!


can't c their face la.

erm had a hard time differentiating who's who since i only follow up epl tru star paper back then. it's kinda weird watching w/o commentary n u can't afford to blink cos u ought to miss out a GOAL!, no slow-mo playback watsoever haha. but u get the whole picture of players running about, easier to c who's attacking n who's defending which i can barely tell tru tv. ok i stil know no strategies.

the leng chai RONALDO scored twice, almoz got a hattrick but he's performance kinda lacklustre. c, i blinked. for the 2nd goal i dunno how the ball was passed to ronaldo. it happened so fast n the nx thing i know.. he headed the ball in! eesshh!!

bet it's a normal match on tv, marred by many offsides but watching LIVE.. every attack wil reli send u to a heart attack. wat seems like half an hr was act 2 hrs n u juz can't have enuf of it. the match ended wif 2-0.
MAN U WON!!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++

went taiwu restaurant, ya again, for supper since they have 30% discount after 12am. omg.. this is wat i call hou sek geh CHINESE FOOD!!

sumhow travelled s-l-o-w-l-y to my brain haha. i tried to pull off my nail but ah.. ah.. ouch.. then only i felt the PAIN cos it's stil wee bit attached to my flesh.. ill. well the thing is.. i juz sharpen the knife in the morning... n as usual no diff la.. that damn knife was stil BLUNT, n that same BLUNT knife cut off my fingernail.. huh! BAD omen... *alanis's ironic playing in the background.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

stress level elevating.. then can't access tudou.. my only source of tvb dramas.. even MAD!

tues. rushing for deadline. progess--6 pages (unedited version). yoohoo that's wat i call progress. BUT THEN..
my CLUMSY hand hit my cup (half filled with water). then *pong.. the cup went horizontal n water spilled on the rite side of my keyboard. NOOOOOO! then i heard sum strange *gili gulu sound from my laptop. PANIC! my reflex was..
SAVE my draft!
SHUT the laptop!
get a HAIRDRYER!

as i was frantically blowing my laptop dry, sum of my hair was sucked into the hairdryer (i dunno how) n got entangled inside! waa... panic again. so i had to sacrifice few strands of hair bfor the hairdryer n more of my hair damaged haha. when i tot it's dry enuf, i switch on my laptop again. oh phew leganya! it loaded swiftly into my desktop.


the saviour, sum noble ones who sacrified, n the culprit!

GONE!!! how am i gonna meet the deadline? SHIIIT! i was so PANIC that i juz burst into tears. wu wu wu...

then ask dear for help. called dell. went to comp lab. thanx to shan for lending me her laptop. stil harbor hope that my laptop wil soon b fine. struggling whether shud start redo the whole thing anot. hou mm dai ah! but finally i faced the music n decided to redo the whole thing. stress level- at the MAX!

2am my eyes can tahan no more so i went to sleep. bfor i sleep, last attempt to switch on my laptop n
MIRACULOUSLY, it responded. after bouts of startup repair, it started to load my desktop. i was praying so so hard that it'll move on.. juz move on don black out. yeh! i quickly saved my super important materials bfor it blacked out again. n this time.. it didn't. ahhh tears of joy! n i had a gud nite's sleep that nite but selamba again in doing my intro the nx day.

that's reli helluva lesson! CUPS SHUD STAY AT LEAST 1m AWAY FROM LAPTOP!

A Story to Share

On 24th nov 1985, a bright pretty gal was born. At 5, her parents sent her to tadika tmn maju jaya n there she met a short skinny gal n they became gud frens. they even landed the role of grandmother (bright pretty gal) and lil red riding hood (short skinny gal) in the kindergarten concert. fate made them share the same babysitter n they had their best moments in the bathroom... bathing tgt. (jgn fikir bukan-bukan, not yet puberty ok!) wat they did were act...
scrub the floor wif soap so that they cud glide on the slippery floor,
clog the hole to make a mini swimming pool.

After that they went to diff skool n din contact each other that often. short skinny gal only get to know that the bright pretty gal had a bf while bumping into the couple at Sogo CHILDREN’s department in the moz awkward situation! But no matter wat happens, there’s alwiz 1 place that wil bring them tgt…

Defeat of the Tartan Army

it's a cold, rainy sat.. but u can feel the heat everywhere! big day for the scottish as it's THE match...

Scotland vs Italy !!! in hampden park.

dear called me up at noon n said hey let's go out n feel the atmosphere. yeah gud idea n off we went strolling down the st.

a truly football mad nation.

v went to campus bar to watch the match. here no mamak n teh tarik. juz bars n beer. it's super congested n v had to shove our way to find a spot wif better view of the screen n fresh air to breathe. the crowd was singing in a deafening volume.
v'll b coming
v'll b coming
v'll b coming bla bla bla.

it's quite infectious but i can nvr get the nx phrase. well it's act
'When you hear the noise of the Tartan Army boys,
We'll be coming down the road'... thanx to google=)

for a gal who know's no strategies n rules, it's stil easy to enjoy a football match.. juz pick a team! n support it til the end of the match. since i live in glasgow now, it's not hard to choose hehe.

bfor i settled down, italy scored their 1st goal at the 2nd min. during the 2nd half, scotland scored their 1st goal n the crowd burst into thunderous cheers n chants, punching their fist in the air, splashing alcohol at each other n singing their v'll b coming song again. woohoo!!! their team did put up a gud fight but towards the last few mins, italy scored their 2nd goal n scotland's hope of qualifying into euro cup 2008 went down the drain. awww.. kesian...

anyway got myself a scarf on the st juz so that i can blend in the atmosphere better haha. back in my room, wif the help of cellotape n tripod, i got this!



unfortunately, the nx day...



fine... i need thumb tags!


=gabriellegay=

willkommen!

welcome here!! woohoo... *pop the champagne*
u guys almoz need to type foofoofly.blogspot.com to view my blog. phew glad that i withdrew the idea haha. at a pt i was listening to foofighters n a fly came buzzing around my room. n i juz tot.. that's it foofoofly! n a pic of a fly sticking on dave grohl's lips ala silence of the lamb style came to mind.. eeks.
well had alwiz wanted to have a blog esp after the germany trip in sept, felt like sharing sum photos n stories. posting photos at frienster blog reli gets on ur nerves n u juz cudn't get the flow! give up.. turn to blogspot. but ooh wait a min, i need to get myself a domain name. no, not my name.. wat shud it b? n since then when a word popped in my mind, i'll go check out the availability. then only i realise omg.. i'm juz SO NOT creative at coming up wif names... linsays, higgledy-piggledy, jalapeno n few more... they r all taken! fine. no matter how bad i am at this, rest assured that i won name my babies ah keong or mei ling, NVR. then i got so lazy n after a gud 2 months, i finally come up wif a domain name n 1st entry kaka!
this wil serve as a platform for me to get all sentimental or to accommodate sum ranting n cursing n of course, updates to ppl who care abt me. sharing it wif a small lil network, i think it's sweet enuf=) but when u c mr sia n the singaporean bimbo wif a bimbotic blog got showered wif loads of goodies, hey it's no harm getting bz traffic at ur blog! i wan goodies too!

*slap* 'fat mong' laa...


ok, new blog new resolution:
