This Week's Pick of the Week:

Israel v England
Preview: With England's most 'prolific' scoring machine Peter Crouch out, it's quite a daunting task for England to have a landslide win. However, with Owen Hargreaves back, it does give the midfield freedom to roam. A reminder that Israel have not lost a game at home for 7 years until their last lost to Croatia. With their home crowd cheering them on, does seem like a tough game for Steve Mclaren's pool of fallen 'superstars.' However, this is a must win game for England and I believe they might just pull it through. (Btw, it really surprises me when I visited the webpage of the Israel team at uefa.com, THEY WERE ONLY DISPLAYING ENGLAND NEWS AS THEIR HEADLINES, WTF?)
Prediction: Israel 1-2 England

Portugal v Belgium
Preview: A better bet will be putting your money for professional diver Cristiano Ronaldo to win one of the diving competitions at the FINA championships in Melbourne. Heck, he might even win against Michael Phelps in any swimming competition due to his distance in diving. Well, Portugal does seem likely to win this game against Belgium. However, with their most influential player, Deco out of the equation this match does not look that easy. On the other hand, Belgium has not been beaten by Portugal in an official match. Cristiano Ronaldo's diving skills will grab them a win at the end though.
Prediction: Portugal 1-0 Belgium

Spain v Denmark
Preview: This is definitely a surprise, Spain being the KING of qualifying is only with 3 points from 3 games. However, with several big names out for Denmark and the confidence high after beating England 1-0 at Old Trafford, does seem like a likely win for Spain at home.
Prediction: Spain 2-0 Denmark

Czech Republic v Germany
Preview: This is definitely a cracker and definitely a contender for game of the week. Czech republic the Euro 2004, semi-finalists is with a full-strength squad and with Klose suspended and Frings, Schweinsteiger and Metzelder doubtful, does seem like a tough game for the world cup 2006 semi-finalists. The factors point for a Czech win, but I still think Germany have enough fight in them for a draw. A reminder that, a win for either side will strongly put either team in pole position for Euro 2008.
Prediction: Czech 1-1 Germany

The cost of procrastinating...

Ok.. today marks the end of my first weekend of the week.. hehe.. if you all didn't know that being a commerce student you're allowed to have two weekends.. not one.. but TWO.. haha.. I've managed to arrange my timetable so that I could have Tuesdays and Wednesdays off.. which means I have two weekends! Anyways, here I am.. rushing to finish off my 1% tute work which talks about cost of capita... I'm just bull shitting my way through it.. I really don't know what the questions are asking me and I really don't know wtf I should write.. so.. yeah.. at least I didn't copy it..! And besides that, I still got a lot more of tute work to do... but I just can't be bothered.. gosh.. two weekends is not enuf..

Hehe.. to tell the truth actually.. I'm quite a changed man already..(Not!) Yeah.. see.. a semester ago.. I would have just waited for CC to finish the work and copy it off her that morning itself.. but look... I'm actually putting in my own effort to do it.. Besides that, I actually spent the past two days squeezing every ounce of my brain to solve the investments assignment.. hehe.. just ask CC.. Ok lerr... I think I'm praising myself too much.. Anyways, the most torturing two days of my week is coming up.. which is Thursday and Friday.. I have a total of 9 contact hours! Ok lerr.. enough lerr.. you engineering guys or science guys should be cursing me by now.. hahahahaha.. but too bad.. YOU GUYS ARE NOT DOING COMMERCE.. so live with it!

That's it.. another short post..!

Another one of my insomic (is that how you spell it?) nights..

3.30 a.m.. I'm bored and wide awake.. I tried to sleep but just couldn't sleep.. I had too much sleep this afternoon cause I was frustrated with my investments assignment.. gosh.. I realize when I'm stressed I tend to sleep.. I remember how I could afford like 15 minute naps while I was trying to study for Principles of Marketing last semester when I was actually way behind time and I desperately need to stay awake.. yet.. I fell to the temptation of sleeping.. haha.. I guess.. If I had a choice.. I wanna to be able to sleep the whole day.. gosh.. just hibernate like animals.. hahahaha... if only I was able to do that...

Well, the feeling of being awake at this hour makes me feel that everything else disappeared from this world and I'm the only person around... gosh.. ain't a nice feeling at all.. Arghh.... hate it hate it hate it..

Ok.. I really do not know what to write anymore.. haha.. I'm running out of ideas what I'm supposed to talk about.. I typed out a couple of sentences.. but just didn't know how to finish it off.. I guess.. I'll just leave it here and make it a really short post.. Good night, adios.. and hope everyone could sleep well.. unlike me...

.....?

18 March 2007, mark this day.. haha.. finally i wrote something again on the blog.. u guys won't have to see the word jakarta first when u ever visit my blog.. It's been quite some time.. 2 months.. since i wrote something.. It's not that I do not want to write something.. is just that I really got nothing to write.. haha.. nothing so interesting as for me to write on the blog and nothing so demotivating that I could write on the blog.. (in other words, just lazy ler.. hehe)

Well, tomorrow will be the fourth week of my semester.. what have I achieved so far..? Nothing.. I set myself into a mission this year.. to improve myself overall... guess I haven't really done anything to improve myself thus far... From the way I look at it, this would be the final year I would make a large impact on who I am and who I'll be for the next one or two decades to come.. Changes have to come now and fast.. I had a chat with su san yesterday.. and I really realize lack of self-esteem is really one of the biggest problems that I'm facing with.. I really do not know how I'm gonna go out of uni to face the real society if don't have enough self-esteem.. gosh.. I think I would have to change jobs every 3 months..

I realized patience is another thing that I need to have.. I realize my lack of patience has caused me drastically in many things.. not to mention.. poker.. I'm a really impatient poker player.. I do not like the slow pace of the game.. I prefer to speed things up... which means.. being one of the first to get kicked out of the game.. hahaha.. it sucks to sit out and wait you know... well.. guess... this is another area I wished I could change..

Well, that's about it.. I don't want to bore you guys with my self-motivation.. haha.. I realize long posts aren't really what readers want ( see.. improving on blogging skills.. damn.. I'm lame)
