I've never found myself being so passionate about football before.

The last time I remember feeling excited for football was when Yan, I, Dayana and Han went to some Singapore v Some Country at Kallang Stadium. I had short hair, ruddy cheeks (cheybah haha) and was wearing red. Everyone was wearing red. Duh.

Of late, I feel that I am getting very involved with Man Utd. Hurhur. I try not to be a poseur you know i.e., those kinda girls who pretend to like football and talk football and discuss football just so that she can fit in with the boys or just so that the boys tengok dia cool ke haper ah. I try not to so usually I just sit quietly and watch. Whether my interest is due to a certain player called Ronaldo or not is another story lah you know? Hurhur. I know he's been around awhile but lately, I think he just got hotter and hotter. Yan is not gonna like me saying this because he thinks that Ronaldo is a big baby and liked to call foul and very lembik. He is not lembik ok. Have you seen his abs? And his thighs? Hello.

Anyway, I caught the Man U game with Barca last 2 nights. Aku macam betul jer tau. Went home, caught a couple of hours of sleep and meet Yan downstairs and we drove to SJC to join the rest of the boys. Siap bawak baju kerja semua cos it's off to work that morning.

The place was filled with so many male testosterones! Besides the food, you can smell Male. Alaah you know, bau jantan. All sweat and cigarette smoke and armpits and helmet hair. Haha. SJC is by the way, Simpang Joo Chiat. Cos one of the food stalls has a branch at Simpang Bedok, the boys called this one Simpang Joo Chiat. Pandai-pandai jer. Nobody else calls that SJC. Kita jer pandai-pandai.

Anyway, front row seats, aku tengok dongak seh. Sakit tengkuk lah nyah. Tapi Ronaldo nyer pasal, saya sanggup. Oh by the way about the game, I was very disappointed. Man Utd was so kanchiong spider and they just lose it. Barca was terrific though. Here I am, an amateur football audience and I can tell how fantastic Barca was. So smoove. That was some good football. And here I go being all poseur minah bola. Ok stoppit.

I saw 2 wedding invitations on the table for me a few nights ago.

And then my mum went like "Eh Awin, kawan-kawan kau semua dah kahwin Win..." I can sense war coming up ni. So I said "Ah abeh kenapa? Ibu stress?" She: "Ah yelah abeh kau bila....." Before she could finish, I interrupted her, cos I won't go down without a fight.

"AH TULAH ibu, siapa suruh pergi jemputan... Kan makcik-makcik semua dah tanya bila anak kau yang pompuan tu nak kahwin Jah? Sebabtu kan, orang tak suka pergi sedara-sedara nyer jemputan tau pasal orang tau mesti makcik-makcik kepo tanya-tanya. Kan orang dah warning sikit hari, jangan tanya pasal kahwin ni semua pasal its rimas ok!"

She: "Eh bukan sedara-sedara ibu lah... Ni kawan-kawan ibu tanya lah."

Me: "Ah sama lah! Jumpa kat mana? Kalau bukan kat jemputan, kat pasar kan? Bilang dengan makcik-makcik kepo, pergi jaga anak-anak diorang sendiri. And ibu pun jangan sebok tanya makcik-makcik kepo bila anak diorang nak kahwin! Makcik-makcik takder benda lain eh nak bebual pasal?" Tapi kan, kadang-kadang, bukan makcik-makcik jer kepo suka tanya pasal kahwin tau. Ada orang kan, umur baru 23 pun dah sebok-sebok pasal kahwin. Abeh lagi boleh bilang aku kalau aku nak kahwin, tak payah tunang pasal nanti aku akan reach expiry date. Eh fuck you lah. Siek ah aku 23 masih hepi-hepi seh.

Aku tengah hot seh itu jam. That was the first time my mum had outrightly talked about marriage. She didn't ask me directly lah, but she put it in such a way that you know, she'd like to know it herself. I think she's getting nervous already. Takut anak pompuan satu dia ni tak laku. Kesian mak aku. Dia succumb to peer pressure.

Ingat kahwin senang macam time dulu-dulu keper. Ingat cari laki macam pergi Sheng Siong cari tauge eh?

I'm not worried because my girls are all happily unmarried. Except for maybe Jila cos she asked me before if I wanted to be the MC during her wedding ceremony. So she's given that some thoughts. Hehe.

Ok lah. Off to home now to shower and change then meet my fellow Vietnam trippers for supper. Kahwin-kahwin talk makes me panas.
