On my best misbehaviour

Posted by: lubnaaa | June 28, 2006 |

I think I’m very ill.

The reason is I haven’t been paying much attention to the World Cup.

Wow. Even saying that hurts.

I just can’t be bothered with England winning anymore because the fans piss me off and now there aren’t any other underdogs left out there for me to root for. Except maybe Ukraine. Mighty respect for the Swiss though. Knocked out of the World Cup with no goals conceded is a damn impressive record.

Spain! Puyol! Such a shame he did what he did. The Spanish might have had a chance since France weren’t at their best til Viera netted that second goal. Alonso made a mess out of it with his header to clear the shot but I don’t blame him. No one blames Xabi Alonso. No one. I must say though, Zidane provided a nice finishing touch. The Spanish defence were so gone by then.

So yeah, other than that, I don’t care much for the World Cup. Maybe its all the hype surrounding it rather than it itself is what’s annoying me. I just don’t want Brazil to win again because it’d be nice to know there’s some new fresh blood in the football world.

My eating habits are totally out of control now-gone completely haywired and downright disastrous. I eat anything edible in sight. It’s a worrying thing to realise that going down to the kitchen and heading upstairs with the food in fact, does not qualify as exercise and an even freakier experience is that I get peckish 2 seconds after wolfing down a snack in such a shameless manner it’d make a pig blush.

Wait. What colour do pigs turn if they do blush?

Ignore the question that comes from an unstable, overfed mind.

Speaking of an overeating disorder, my sleeping patterns are completely way off. I stay up for about 20 hours one day, and slumber my way through the next, waking up only to perform my prayers and, you guessed it, eat.

This is not good.

As a result, I decided to repay what the kitchen’s lost on food supplies by making dinner for the past couple of days and a bit of pastry dessert for last night. The satisfaction of making myself less of a bum was much felt.

A passing thought:

One amusing experience I had in England was that the locals I had encounters/conversations with thought I was British of foreign ethnicity because of the way I spoke, albeit with a hint of American slang.

“So where are you from?”

“Malaysia.”

“No dear, I mean, where do you stay?”

“Um…Malaysia?”

“Are you sure you’re not from up North?”

“Quite sure.”

And so it went like that, which was frankly amusing. Widad had warned me not to be more British than the British before I left and Lutfi was certain I’d be overBritish once I returned. Just to be clear, both things did not happen and I spoke the way I usually do. Najia calls it the i/nat slang.

If there was one thing I immensely enjoyed, it was chats with the locals. They’re so polite and good-humoured! No rendezvous with young lads, but genuine talks with British and Scottish men who were old enough to be my father (in case you had the wrong idea). It lifted my spirits a whole lot because I found them to be friendly, non-judgemental, laidback, relaxed, open-minded and appreciative of different views and opinions. It just takes a lone walk around town, on the harbour or in the park and you’d find them with a nod and a ready smile.

Unfortunately I wasn’t able to have the same oppurtunities with English women because they seemed a lot more scarce to bump into, and they’re very much preoccupied with whatever it is they’re doing. I did manage to have a chat with an Australian during a cruise on the River Thames, and by coincidence she had been in KL just the day before.

Its experiences like these that make travelling away from my family worthwhile.

If I were to enter the Pilsner Urquell International Photography Awards Competition, do you think I’d have a shot at it?

Ah, don’t fret on letting me know the bold truth. Let me have it please. And have a go at this if you’re keen on more to critisize.

Enough said here.

yang gambaq dorm tu..

now that’s a gem.

it’ll win u the comp hands-down.

ala…biarla brazil menang! :D anyway, what happend to u, babes? u sound like me! hehe

Don’t knw wht button I pushed wrong the previous post. Here’s the real deal.

Babes, couldn’t put the scoop on WC better meself. All the teams in the Round 16 are way overrated, maybe just Ukraine for exception. I was CRUSHED when Holland was beaten by the Portugese by a mere petty goal. Don’t get me started with the rants for England though. That wld require an entire blog entry, and then some.

And yeah, I’d love to think pigs turn deep blue in the face when it blushes.

P/s Could you do me a favour of deleting the previous comment? I give off more than enough mindless bimbo impression already to last me a lifetime, methinks, thanx = )

lub, i want france to win. tho i taktau all the names of the players and i hardly watch them play. the last time i watched them play was hmm..when they lawan Brazil 8 years ago. time tu i gila bola..n ths year, i want to watch france vs Brazil. well, at least i’d be concern enough la to at least ask my bro how was the game and the score ;D

nways..gamab dorm tu..yeah, i rmmbr that alryte..true zuhairy, she’ll win kan?

btw u shud open up a photo album online la..i nak tgk gambar..pleez..plg i nak tgk gambar the RnRs..(Granada still? i miss their RnRs!!) and the motorways..M1,M4 hee..i ingt lg.coz i love the scenery..farms je kan memanjang..sigh..(i’m really sighing here in Jb at this mo)

oh yeah, lupe nak ckp…the england’s pictures are beautiful!especially th e ducks n the swans =) i like the flowers too. and yes, definitely u’ll win the competition. ;)

Zuh:
Yek? Yani cakap nampak cam photo untuk cover novel. Haha. Tu katil aku tu wei.

Aufa:
U want Brazil to win because you want them to stop picking on the chubby guy, innit? ;P Hehe. And thanks girl. I love doing nature shots.

Faz:
Mindless bimbo impression? I disagree strongly Fazlia. STrongly. Oh yes, and THANKYOU. It’s just gotten waaaay overrated. But still. Seeing Stevie G with a grin on his face if they win the WC is just too irresistable to say no to so…go England! (Who’s the bimbo now eh).
Its sad to know that Parreira thinks it isn’t abt the game that’s important but winning. “History doesn’t record games, they record winners.” Or something like that. Refer to The Star yday. And I was like WHAT?

Ryhn:
Ohohoho…France yek? I SO wonder whyyy? ;)
To all:
I was kidding on entering the competition-lah. No way I’d stand a chance-it’s too freakin prestigious and I’m not even of amateur status. Tunggu dulu lah. Build on my portfolio. But thanks for the feedback guys, I appreciate it!

rite.. (ignores WC epidemy)

book suggestion:

The known world.

Oprah said iit was the best book she had read for ten years. She spent her night crying after reading the first 20 pages..

malayan publishing house (MPH) here I come,,

*ignoring ur comment on France* *lol*

the duck. real english duck! iv always thot green ducks are a real Brit. n owh btw, lub, i slalu dah cakap ur so la a lass with a Brit accent!

*leaving b4 Lub sempat try to strangle me* haha

Good God, I don’t think I cld handle ANOTHER England fan. Well, I’ll just leave you at tht, I guess. As of for the quote, I heard one on the radio, can’t recall who was it from but I believe one of the coaches la, that “It’s not how well you play, it’s how many goal you can score”. And guess wht babes, I went just like you did and go WHAT?! The addition of ‘tf’ wld be sufficient too, yknw wht I mean ; p

Ok la, I gotta admit he’s right in a way. But (tak habis ranting bout the Holland + Portugese showdown lg ni), if you play like crap, and you just score one sole goal, I believe you’d lose a great deal of respect from the fans AND opponents, don’t you think so too?

And oh yeah, thanx for deleting it. I AM textbook definition of mindless bimbo, babes = )

faz, a bimbo? i think not :-) ah faz, x habis2 nak kutuk england fans :-) just u wait til the tango team play.
lubna, u DEFINITELY don’t have a northern accent! have u heard the way they speak? i don’t really understand it. they have their own loghat, sama mcm the kelantanese and t’ganu ppl. mancunians have their own accent, liverpudlians have their own very different accent and sometimes, i can’t place em whether they’re english or scottish. they hate to be compared to each other btw :-) oh, granada, the r’n'r between england and scotland rite raihan? i love all the stops! i think the restaurant is called little chef or something. we always stop for fish and chips. btul kan the english are friendly? ppl say they’re complete snobs but it’s not true!
ah lubna, i’m doing the same thing as u–over eating. makan tetap makan tp exercise tu err…;-)

Slm Lubna… CAntik gambar UIA tu… Bangga jadi pelajar UIA… Kalau ada kelapangan tu, ambillah gambar UIA banyak-banyak… mesti menag dalam pertandingan…

Yknw wht Naj, I’m done with this edition of WC. Crap referring, crap playing, to sum it all up, crap everything. You could add German next to England in my list now.

Granted that they have so-so good strikers (Podolski, Klose, well, Ballack) and slightly above good goalie Lehmann (nothing on the old Kahn though) but all that do not make up to the obvious overabused advantage of being the host. Add the ridiculously annoying Lahn of a defender and you’re close to get the most irritating team ever.

Ok, my rants are seriously getting out of hand and waaay off topic so I guess I’ll stop here = S

bola itu ape?

What colour do pigs turn if they do blush?
-red

NZers mistaken me as Maori! hahha~~

WHOA IS ME! N MIZAN SED THOSE IN DA ALBUM LUK LYK POSTCARDS. IM THINKNIG $$ EY? NUFF SED.

so-so good strikers? they’re the ones yg score during penalty! they’re not ridiculous alrite!
i think it’s a pretty good world cup…england a bit out of sorts, tu je. at least the england players kept cool after they lost. not like the argentines. mengamuk and created a ruckus.

Hey, cool it there you. It’s only natural for the things you say as you do support them. Pretty good WC eh? I wld bet a LOT on tht one = ) Get back to me will ya. Wld love to delve into this one, bit too public here don’t you think = )

BRAZIL or BRASIL ha?
O well, figures..

bring it on faz!
it’s an alrite world cup la. it’s never going to be the best for all innit? sum ppl definitely wont be satisfied. i’m looking at the overall pic here. anyway, football’s done it’s other job–bringing ppl together.

Football’s job is to bring ppl together eh? Don’t really agree on it 100%. Just based on the tone in your previous post, you sounded as if you were ready to give a good kick to my behind yourself = )

Oh well, let’s not make this page any messier with our rants. Talk over it throughly at Nescafe, eh. On you = p

UIA LOOKS DAMN GORGEOUS COMPARED TO UM.
