And ( drum rolls please...), SPAIN WON THE EURO 2008 CHAMPIONSHIPS! I am literally on cloud nine! I am sooo happy that the country that I have been supporting ever since God knows when has finally carried a cup. And they won this after 44 years so they really do deserve a huge CONGRATULATIONS! Guess scored the one and only goal of the match that allowed Spain to wi the match? My darling, FERNANDO TORRES!* pumps fist in the air* He scored the only goal that made the huge difference! My heart was beating real fast as I sat watching the match yesterday and if Nans wasnt there, I honestly think I would have suffered a heart attack each time Germany went near the Spaniards' goal area. But, I need not have worried cos my other darling, Iker Casillas did a SPLENDID job of goal keeping! I love the both of them!* Muacks!* And Pam's sweetheart, David Villa managed to be the cup's top scorer! Congrats!*winks* Must go out and celebrate Spain's euphoric victory! When Casillas lifted the cup in the air, my heart truly leapt ( not because he was smiling, but God , did that make my heart stop:) Finally, victory is ours!

VIVA ESPANA!

Well, it has been quite a while since I have blogged and many things have happened since. Firstly, Spain is through to the semis! And tomorrow is their BIG MATCH against Russia and I am scared shit! They have to go through to the finals! It seems that their fans will shave their heads if Spain carries the cup. I dont mind doing it but Ma will screw me so I swear that if Spain wins the cup, I will FINALLY thread my eyebrows. If not, I am going to let it grow like an overgrown bush. So Spain has to get through in tomorrow's match! And I am going to be biting my fingernails when watching the match at 2.45a.m. Heartbeat accelerating alert! * winks*

The chalet was FUN, FUN AND FUN! Nans had camp for the first night and the whole of the next day. But, I still managed to have fun. *grins* This is how the days went.

Wednesday, 18 June

I had to finish my tuition so we only went to the chalet at about nine at night. Yet, I managed to bond with Adegal. Man, was I wrong in thinking that she was quiet. Decided to go for a night stroll and saw certain things that are x-rated and should not be mentioned here.*winks* But, I havent laughed like that in ages. Cried at night cos couldnt sleep without Nans! Was missing hr like crazy:)

Thursday, 19 June

Was the first to wake up at seven. Got into my new track shoes and went banging on Pam's, Adegal's and Sylo's room doors. Sylo, Adegal and I went for my traditional run when my phone had to drop TWICE! Pam, Sateesh, Ma and Pooga aunty took a walk. The run was GREAT!( though I had to abandon it halfway because of my stupid phone). After that, as in right after that, went SWIMMING! God, my stamina even befuddled me. Then, went to play badminton, soccer and finally, BASKETBALL! Yess! * pumps fist in the air* then, went back to swim and played water polo in the waters. It was tremendously, unbelievably ENJOYABLE! Then, went to fetch Nans form her camp. She was a bit grumpy.*Ahem*. Later, just crapped and retired to bed.I was beat but couldnt wait for the next day! ( I have become a monster!) *grins*

Friday, 20 June

Didnt go for my normal run:( But, went WILD WILD WET! Gosh, FUN! Really fun splashing about in the waters and of course, had to have a fight with the less morally upright younger children. But should not waste my space talking about it. Anyways, was BBQ night but right after that, we decided to go swimming! Yes, swimming! * laughs* Pa and Ravi uncle joined us so we played volleyball and Captain's ball in the waters and WE WON! Haha. Then had the BBQ when Navin joined us and we started to play with him. Totally cute boy. Betcha will be a heart breaker when he grows up. Pam and Nans were trying their hands on babysitting. *grins* BBQ food was great!I loved the squids!:)

Saturday, 21 June

Memorable day, will realise why if you read on. Went swimming in the morning and got myself a horrible sun burn. * sobs* Pam and Nans were still babysitting Navin but then he left during lunch. Adegal went to book the tennis court for myself and her. To while the time away, we decided to play Thom or Alipom( depends on how you want to call it.) The game was perfect until it was time for Nans to be the Seeker. Pam, Suren and I went to hide near the bushes which was really near the thoming place and then, Pam and Suren got caught so I was left alone. And stupid (or daring?) Hema, decided to crawl through the bushes to be unnoticed and was doing a fine job of it until I felt something hit the right side of my head REALLY HARD. Then, i remembered a tad too late that there was a hornet nest there. I squashed the hornet with my bare hands and ran out of the bushes. Decided not to tell anyone about it but when I went to kick the football, I had a dizzy sensation and my head started to throb REALLY, REALLY BADLY. I felt like fainting and ran to Bharathi aunty to tell her that I knew I was bleeding at the head( years of major injuries has taught me to recognize when the blood is oozing out.) and she checked and said that nothing was there. Then, Ma came running out and found the spot where I was bleeding. She squeezed at the spot to see if there was any sting left and I told her that I squashed the hornet. Then, Sada uncle and Usha aunty came running and they looked soo concerned, it touched my heart. Nans looked as if she wanted to cry. Was rushed to the clinic and was applauded for my quick reflexes. Had an injection to reduce the swelling and the doctor told me I did a good job of ensuring that the sting didnt get in. If it has, I will be blogging form the hospital right now. Hehe:) Went back to the chalet. Head was still aching like bad but wanted to play but couldnt. ( Ma was giving me that LOOK.) Finally, managed to persuade her that I was alright and went to play tennis. Then, went to the ball room and had another fight.* sighs* Then , that night we played Charades and Treasure Hunt. Was starting to feel really dizzy so went off to bed.

Sunday, 22 June

Last day of the chalet. Very sad. Still managed to stuff our faces with Choco Chip ice cream at the last moment and it was raining. Then, went back home. Felt slightly dizzy so cancelled all my tuition for that day.

That was my experiences at the chalet. Learnt a few things. Dont be sooo bloody guy and do stupid, daring things at times. But continue having the quick reflexes. And realised that SWIMMING is my forte! * smiles widely* furthermore, I am a SPORTS FREAK! :)

I am not doing this to hurt anyone but I found this in the Net and I realise that without even myself knowing, that God does have a bigger plan for me. And I am kinda happy. Probably the game plan he has for me is sooo much better and more brighter than what I had planned for myself. I am delighted in this first decision that I made for myself in rejecting NTU, though many people did tell me to accept it.I am glad that I decided to do a degree in social sciences and that I decided to do it in SIM. So it is private but I do not give a shit anymore. I am also overjoyed that I will be doing the degree with the London School of Economics and Social Sciences. Still I should not be complacent but at least now, I feel kinda satisfied and pride myself in being me and just me! *winks.* And, as usual, I have gone way off track here. This is what I found in the Net. Please know that I have no intention of hurting anyone.

I am over the top right now so decided to go shopping with my two favourite girls in the whole world, Mummy and Nans! Went to Queensway to buy myself a good pair of track shoes and got this!!!!!!!!* laughs with joy*

Check out the Nike symbol at the side of the shoe. Its is purple, my favourite colour!

The shoes are glowing, just like my heart! *giggles*. The shoes are purple and gold in colour and they are cross trainers which means I can use them for running, badminton, SOCCER!, basketball, netball and for all other purposes. It costs $106 but I do not care! I am loving my life at the moment!

Spain won Switzerland 2-1 and I am cheering! Woo hoo!:P

I have not been blogging for quite some time cos have been kinda busy until only have three hours of sleep! That was by choice though, so no complaints. Raj came to stay for a week and I came to realise that he is still my special little baby brother, the one who only lets yours truly kiss him and get away with it.*laughs* It was sooo much fun. We played Monopoly and Cluedo till really late at night and then of course, we simply HAD to bitch. Haha. Then, there was this day when we watched Nepali till six in the morning.( After playing Monopoly and Cluedo, of course..) and all three of us got sooo angry that the percentage of sexual harassment is soo great in India and yet, there are many who get away with it. Raj said that when he grows up and if he becomes a policeman, he will fight till his death to destroy or at least curb these disgusting crimes. I thought that that was the nicest, most selfless thing ever possible for a young teenager to say. All you adults out there, watch, or listen and LEARN!
As usual, I have gotten sidetracked here. The main reason why I wanted to blog sooo badly is that EURO2008 HAS STARTED!!!!!!! Yipee! I watched my Spain play against Russia and that was their first match and they played it sooo BLOODY WELL! But then again, that has always been their problem. They tend to lose steam halfway through but I kind feel that this time, it is gonna be different! SPAIN IS GONNA WIN THE TITLE! * fingers crossed* They trashed Russia, with score 4-1, Spain. Ha! and DAVID VILLA SCORED A HAT TRICK! God, I was sooo happy but he got a chance to score the first goal because of my baby's selfless act. I LOVE YOU TORRES! * Muacks!* and Fabregas scored the final goal with the header that was soo unbelievably CUTE! Hehe. I LOVE MY SPAIN! YOU ROCK GUYS!:) I am going crazy, I know. But, I do not care! FOOTBALL FEVER HAS RETURNED! and I am loving every bit of it!

On the side note, to all those people who stood by me during my so-called hard times, thanks. I have made up my mind. M turning down NTU for SIM cos I like the course at SIM better. Hehe. And went for the enrollment thingy today and it was kinda mind opening. I am on my road to achieve a bachelor of Science degree and I cant wait!
