Ahhh so John Terry has been named Captain of the England squad while Gerrard has been made vice-captain. Hmmm. Okay, I shall not complain and whine because he was afterall a candidate for the captaincy. And you know what made my National Day holiday even sweeter? I was at city link's adidas outlet with Amanda. And you know how they have Lampard's face splashed across all the stores... So I was moping around because they didn't have any ad with Gerrard's face on it. I mean, Liverpool's featured too, so where in the blazes is my stevie g?!

I decided to walk out of the store and good heavens, there it was near the entrance. STEVEN GERRARD, in all of his glory. I trust that anyone who knows me well enough should be able to imagine my reaction whenever I see a Steven Gerrard adverstisement, so I shall just skip that part.

I went home that evening and was just lazing on my sister's bed. I was pretty sure I had that sigh-i'm-in-love look plastered all over my face. My mum saw me and the immediacy of her reaction was just beyond me. "Ni mesti tadi jumpa gendak," in all of her serkap-jarangness. I played along and said "a'ah, tadi orang jumpa steven gerrard yang datang jauh dari England." And for a moment, it didn't occur to her that I was kidding.

Okay so anyway, enough of my endless adoration for him.

That same day, Shazrul dropped by so that we could exchange books. This is the same Shazrul who laughed and scoffed at me when told that I was going for a job interview at the library. -_-

In any case, I lent him my A Short History of Nearly Everything, while I got a vair interesting one entitled *The Bastard On the Couch. I say all women out there should get their hands on this book. It doesn't matter if you're 18, single and out of love. It's an excellent read. We females sometimes curse men and complain how irresponsible they are, and how they can never understand us. Now, here's a chance for you to get into their heads and hearts. Take a good look at how things are going from their perspective.

*The book is a compilation of stories edited by Daniel Jones, husband of author of Bitch in the House - Cathi Hanauer.

Ohh ohhhh, face off at Millennium stadium tomorrow between the Reds and the Blues. I love.
