david beckham is under-appreciated. look at how crucial he is in the midfield. yes, aaron lennon is good, but he is inexperienced. look how he set up so many shots on targets & goals & let's not forget his free-kicks and corners. i think he deserves more than a round of applause for his contributions now that he has chosen to retire. truly, he does rank up there amongst one of England's greatest captains. it's a pity how the media just loves to use him and his family as a punching-bag. cheap thrills probably, just t have something t write about and that'd sell issues. if i were him when those were going on, i'd probably hire thugs to burn down the press offices or something.

and i'm leaving tomorrow at 4pm. direct flight, 18 hours on SIA t NEWYORK. it's exciting and nerving. 1) i havent tested my endurance on such a long flight ever since canada of 1996. and i remember i puked my guts out the entire journey. yes, folks, i'm air-sick. or USED to be. since i havent done so since 2002. but those were shorter flights. so keep your fingers crossed aye. and i hope new york shows the world cup man.. i noe the americans aint too enthu about things that aren't spelt or played their way but whatever! i bought 3 tops t wear there so i wouldn't look out-dated. it's the hip capital o the world what! and it sucks im 19 and the legal age for drinking is 21. growls.

and so on my eve of departure, i'm hanging out w my orientation group in town later - ROTANA ROCKS! i'm really happy t have met them and formed such bonds. i hope it continues on throughout university. not t mention, a few others..

and i wouldnt noe if i mattered more or less to you.
maybe this is what my paper heart is telling me.
some people just aren't meant to be.
and maybe i'll find myself another paper heart to bleed.
