Happy BELATED Birthday Dear Bloggy (Arlene)

Life is not without any heartbreaks. No matter how you try to turn things around, the heart is still a super sensitive organ (perhaps like glass). Time after time we mend this glassy heart; how many times has it been broken?

The month of August so far was a season for countable heartbreaks, with September creeping in tomorrow perhaps bringing along some light of hope. But one of the greatest lessons I've learned in life is that in times when you have heartbreaks or get depressed or become extremely sad, always remember to look for that 'box of delight' to cheer you up. Every single human have their own personal customized 'box of delight', that some don't even know it existed. It can consist of a talk with the family, a walk in the park with some friends, playing games and also reading a book. It is always filled with the things that you enjoy and have fun with. People tend to dwell too much on their troubles that they are pulled even deeper into complicated emotions. So if you are having a heartbreak now, go find that box now!

Want to know one of the things inside my box? My dear bloggy! Whenever I feel the need to express and get creative and have fun with words, she's always here for me to do so. And guess what? 14 August was her 2nd birthday. Happy belated birthday bloggy! It took me a while to figure out a gift, but I've decided that as a present to this blog I'm going to give it a name. So from this moment on this blog is going to be named: Arlene!

That's it for this time then. As a final note, remember that hardships are there for testing us in life and that God has already gave a pass for everyone as long as we follow his guidelines. All of you should know how to have fun sometimes, because all of you deserve it. Take care now! =)

[UPDATE]

I thought of having many updates this month, but it seems that I'm still slacking in time. No matter, let us pray for a less heartbreak time in the future. Onwards!

World Class

"Who can hold their nerve, with the whole world looking upon them."

Having a world class skill or a world class reputation, the whole world is actually looking or observing you. The quote above was taken from a commentary of the Japan VS Paraguay penalty shoot-out yesterday (I noticed that sport commentators are very creative in a way). But what does it take to be 'world class'? Does entering a worldwide competition makes you a world class competitor? Does scoring the appropriate points makes the things you do is on a world class level?

I believe that everyone has the possibility to become world class. Of course, they need to work hard, believe in their own selves and have the ability to uphold the pressure of the world. I'd like to stress on self-confidence here, as the world will believe in you when you are able to believe in yourself more. No matter what you do, be proud of the results and do better the next time you do it again. >.<

I have a target to become world class in my writing, so first I need to brush up my pace. What's your world class target? Tell me. Just remember here that I believe you can do it. ^^

[UPDATE]

Here I am finally with an update. I've decided to take my time here to get my rhythm back, so please bear with me! I made a change in my update section, this time you just have to click at the title. Simple right? I'll make this brief, so keep on moving forward guys. Let's go!

1. "Shot :: Pick Me Up"

Oh Wow!

Wow, I can't believe that it's been more than 7 months since I last updated! And I can't imagine that here I am right now 4.30am in the morning, writing something. Guess I'm up and about now. Let's see if this keeps up for long enough. Onwards!

World Cup is finally here. I know that I was never a big fan of football or soccer, and has only just recently showed a bit of interest. But World Cup is quite a grand event, with a lot of positive intensity and excitement. I remembered when I was really young I used to try my best to stay up at night accompanying my dad to watch the games. As I went on with my teenage years, I never cared much about it and seemed to have left my dad to watch the game alone most of the time. So to dad, I'm excited about World Cup once again. Wait until I get back home for the holidays eh? ^^

There has been other major events going on, with the attack on Flotilla (which I pray that the vicious are damned) and the heart going further "tasteless" (which I hope gets better soon). But all in all, it's been an adventurous 7 months which I one day hope to get it on ink and papers.

As a final note on the start of my new blogging season, no updates this time. Haha, but it's on it's way. So do wait and until next time!

[BLABBER]

And it kicks off! Just so you know, I'm rooting for Netherlands a.k.a. Holland! The early days of World Cup has been entertaining so far, and I've only watched two matches: South Africa VS Mexico, England VS USA.

Being the advocate for this year game, South Africa showed spirit and tenacity. Even though it may not be the most favored team, they managed to concede a first goal against opponent Mexico with a nice counter-attack strategy. Mexico, being rather unlucky in the match in my opinion, did not stand still. They managed to score a goal with only 20 minutes left on the clock. It ended in a 1-1 draw.

A huge disappointment dropped on England's fan as the England VS USA match ended with a draw of 1-1. An early score (4 minutes) from England seemed to show that the team had the games in their hand. However USA showed that they too had power of their own, when a shot from them made England's keeper fumbled and scored a goal. It was indeed a very intense fight when second-half began, yet it ended in a stalemate.

What about your World Cup experiences so far? Catch up later folks! ^^
