joie de viv-re

Feel the love.

Was having a family gathering today, a small celebration for Mother's Day. So we were once again at Bedok North, where the barbequed stingray and sotong is second to none. Add that to deliciously spicy kang kong and clams. The result? An entirely satisfying meal. It was so much better than the steamboat dinner we had last night at Marina South. It was in excess of twenty bucks per person, and I came away filling so full. Yet being abdament that i would never return again.

Anyway, back from the digression. This post is not about food. Rather, we were in the company of our favourite cousins. The 2 baby cousins whom I love and cherish so much. For the older girl, who is three and a half year old. Her name was a partial suggestion from me. And other than her parents, I was the first to carry her in my arms- when she was not even a day old. And being the youngest in my maternal family has its perks. Because everyone, absolutely everyone showers their love on them. I guess they can possibly look forward to many gifts when the rest of us start working. And they have been blessed with 2 great domestic helps who are mothers themselves and know all about children. The result is evident, the both of them are extremely secure kids. And with Mother's Day looming tomorrow. Now would be the best moment for me to appreciate what my mother has done for me. No gift could ever repay.

Next week is packed to the brim. Thankfully, my mathematics test and SPA would have ended by Tuesday, so I will be allowed to enjoy with the stress relieved, at least for a week. Wednesday. Barcelona against Arsenal in the Champions League final in the wee hours of the morning. It is the final neutrals would have wished for. Both teams epitomise what beautiful football is all about, and there can be no better preview for the upcoming World Cup Finals than this game. The sheer brilliance of Ronaldinho versus the finesse of Henry. I cannot wait.

Then fastforward a few hours later. We have a game against a team from Zhonghua. I have seen them play before, and I am not too sure how highly we should estimate them. But personally, I guess I will approach the game with a good confidence level. And it would be nice to get a win and obtain the bragging rights. Jonatons would not have anything more to say. But more importantly, I just want to enjoy a game of soccer. No tauntrums. No ugly play. Just good, old fashioned sportsmanship. Please don't rain.

Then of course, there is the Adventure Training Camp. Which i guess, I cannot comment about. Lest I let in too much, though I can assure you i have no idea what's going on this year. Not too sure why I even agreed to go this year, but camps are a tad more interesting. So it would be fine with me just being there to observe from a side.

Alright. Till the next time when i can find something more interesting to blog about. I hope this blog doesn't go dead, because life is so boring. I would rather not bore everyone out. Take care.

Reminiscence the past, cherish the present, look forward to the future with hope.
