hmm think it is a bit belated.. but still i am quite happy that the lions won their match against indonesia on sunday.. heh we guys had a great time cheering for the lions and shouting ourselves hoarse.. but it was fun.. i think i havent witnessed such an atmosphere ever since the malaysia cup days.. the tix were sold out within 2 days and the stadium was a sight to behold on sunday.. 55,000 fans majority dressed in red.. the kallang waves.. the cries of "ole, ole", "referee kayu", " we want goal".. it had been a long wait but the lions have finally given us something to cheer about.. never mind the 2010 target la, i think that was an impossible dream from the start.. think Asian cup more realistic.. hope they build on this success, build on this core of young players to achieve greater heights!

tuesday was my mum's 46th bdae.. birthdays have always been low-key affairs for my family la.. no big parties and stuff.. juz 4 of us.. a simple meal.. well wishes. so it was the same this yr.. perhaps the only thing diff was that i bought a birthday cake for my mum this yr.. haha very unfilial hor? guilty, guilty.. took me 20 yrs to buy my mum a birthday cake.. but i hope she enjoyed it.. it was a tiramisu cake from a shop beside Bread Papa's at taka.. not bad..
wouldnt say that my relationship with my mum was a smooth one these 20 yrs.. but i am beginning to accept her for the way she is and trying to understand her more.. she is the disciplinarian type who believes in keeping a tight rein on me and my sis.. yup even till now.. so it is hard not to be frustrated.. and she can really be unreasonable at times.. but i think i just got to live with it lor.. i dont think it is a defeatist(?) or subservient attitude, rather i feel that a little tolerance, a little respect, a little understanding can go a long way in improving relationships.. so i am trying to do that now and i think things have improved a lot recently.. and even though she keeps nagging at me, i am aware that she cares for me.. like that day she paid hundred over bucks for 2 t-shirts for me w/o batting an eyelid.. and she is always asking if i have enough to spend.. yup i am contented and grateful..
.
on the note of birthdays, i think a lot of people around me will be celebrating their 21st birthdays this yr.. haha just received one from pris and shumin. smart huh celebrate together haha.. wah but the invitation card was intricately made by shumin.. very nice heh but no thanks for all the glitter.. my bag is full of glitter now, the same goes for my pencil case, my robbins and my notes..
anyway dont think my bdae will be a grand affair la.. firstly i dont have the habit of celebrating my bdaes, too troublesome.. to me it is just another day haha.. secondly, the week after my bdae is ca3 so i wont be in the mood to organise a party or anything haha.. yup i know it is a once in a lifetime thing but well maybe i am juz antisocial..
