I've been playing PS2 also. Playing that soccer game; think it's called Winning Eleven. I conclude that I just suck at playing the game haha. Either that, or I'm just a slow learner. Really can't control my players in the game, which is quite hilarious actually haha. And I often resort to desperate/violent measures, sliding and tackling. Jess and I played together..we controlled MU, against England. Obviously, we lost, but what was amazing was that we didn't have a single player sent off, even though we had like 7 players yellow-carded haha. Playing that game really makes me miss watching live soccer matches. Can't wait for the World Cup, which is only a week away! Hope I'll be able to catch quite a few matches free on tv.
On another unrelated note, french open has just started and i wanna catch it too! Reminds me of US Open. Really gotta watch US Open live! (shups...).
Watched Apprentice finale just now. I must say the tasks the finalists got are really tough..managing events from scratch. There're really a lot of details to look out and plan for, and basically they have to make sure that every single thing runs smoothly, without a glitch. Not easy huh. Can't believe that one of the finalists is only 22! Just 2 or 3 years older than me. And he has a shot at becoming The Apprentice! Don't think he'll win though. He's probably quite inexperienced and I just think that the other guy, Sean, is better.
Living on my own has really made me grow and learn a lot. Seriously, I think I really have learned a lot of things. Like grocery shopping and cooking. I mean, it's not the first time I'm doing them, but it's just that I've to do those on my own now and much more frequently. Cooking especially. I've just been experimenting here and there and quite amazingly, the stuff we've cooked have so far been quite good! Still need more practice though.
Been experiencing a bout of homesickness lately. I thought I won't really feel homesick this sem, but I guess I'm wrong. Keep telling myself to hold on. After all, it's only 5 weeks before I go back! And I bet they will pass by in the blink of an eye. Still, I can't wait to be back!
Another song that I've been listening to..
WHAT HURTS THE MOST (Rascal Flatts)
I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
That don't bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while
Even though going on with you gone still upsets me
There are days every now and again I pretend I'm ok
But that's not what gets me
What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do
It's hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go
But I'm doing it
It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I'm alone
Still harder
Getting up, getting dressed, living with this regret
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade give away all the words that I saved in my heart
That I left unspoken
What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do
Think the song is about a guy who is left heartbroken because he didn't get to tell the girl that he loved her. I think that's one of the most painful things about love. I wouldn't want to live with the regret of making that mistake; it'll just be too painful. Love..it is such a complicated thing, isn't it?
Gotta get back to Descartes and his Meditations on First Philosophy. I'm sleepy and I've to read philosophy. Ugh..not a good combination. Didn't do a single work over the weekend, so basically I'm left with all the catching-up to do now :/
