team Azzurri!!

Sooo.. tonight's the big day. Four years ago, we watched Germany vs. Brazil at church. How cool is that, huh? We were able to do so because the World Cup was held in South Korea, which made the time difference negligible. I remember painting the German flag on my face with glass paint =D Anyhoo, I'm hoping Italy will win the title this time around. My limbs, fingers and toes are all crossed!

Forza Italia!

I've always been an Italian supporter but I don't remember when I started supporting them or why I did so. Anyway, if they don't win, I'm still very proud of them for reaching the finals, yo! Oh, and I made a wager with.. erm, a total stranger. Okay, maybe not a total stranger but still totally strange of me to do so. Hhmmm...

a yearly affair

My mum has one sister and our families only get together twice a year; once on New Year's Day and another during PohPoh's birthday. Since I've been stuck in dreary, cold, gloomy winter UK for Idunnohowlong, I only see them once a year; when we celebrate PohPoh's b'day. To commemorate the joyous occasion this year, we dined at KL Hilton's Studio last night.

PohPoh's 71st

The McLeod clan minus dad = (clockwise) PohPoh, Auntie Barbara, Melissa, Edmund, Don, Uncle John, me and mum.

*This was us last year. And there's more of us here.

4 weddings (+1) and a funeral (+3)

I know, the title's so morbid but it's true...

I was telling Brandon that this is the first time ever I've been invited to 5 weddings, from now till December. "And a funeral!", cacing added. "Eh, no.. more like 4 man...", she continued. "First was baby Katie, then your grandma, then Ps.Desmond's mother-in-law and now Ps.Robert's mother-in-law."

As sad as it sounds, such is the reality of life; people live, people die. Death comes like a thief in the middle of the night.

Let's not talk about this right now, k? Moving on...

Out of the 5 weddings I'll only be able to go for 2 =(
Well, better than none, right? =D

I'm going to miss Jason's because it's this afternoon in the UK. Lit Son's one is on the 22nd, which I'll also miss because I'll already be in the UK by then -_-"
I decided to extend my stay there so that I'll be able to attend Lou's wedding, which will be held on the 19th of Aug. Next, is my housemate's, Xioa Yan in Sept, which I can't go la coz I'll be back home and hopefully working =D And finally Jon and Jeanine will be getting married in Dec, here in Malaysia. Thank God! HEhhe..

I know, stress, kan? Everyone's getting married!
