So good to be back

Injuries will happen to footballers. Sometimes they are out injured for a couple of months or maybe just weeks. But it is when they return from their injury, and they score a fantastic screamer goal, the footballer must be riding on cloud nine! I mean he overcame his injury, fought his way back to full fitness, and score a goal from 30 yards out (that's considered a screamer goal). Well to me, that's "WOW!"

So back to myself again, it's so good to be back!


This life has changed me from the inside.

Laugh if this is a joke.

Take a few moments and try this.

Think about a time in the past when you laughed so much that you fell over. Or your jaw ached. Or your belly couldn't stop rumbling. Or the time you just couldn't shake off that contagious laugh. Or think of someone whose laughter you enjoy. It could be your child (if you have one), your siblings, your loved one, your friend, or a comedian (Drew Carey).

If you just fell off your chair while thinking of all the fun times you had laughing like nobody's business. I'm sure by now you must be grinning from ear to ear.

It all boils down to one interesting side effect of laughing or smiling - it makes the brain produce a hormone called endorphin, a natural painkiller, or in other words: "sugar-rush".

Keep on reading, because this is no laughing matter:
- Five minutes of genuine belly laughter gives you as good a cardiovascular workout as 15 minutes on a running or rowing machine. Forget about going to the gym, just laugh out loud! (Just kidding, you still need to exercise regularly.)

- Laughter lowers stress hormones and increases the immune system's activity. Now I know why some people don't seem to fall sick throughout the entire year. Hmm...

- Patients who were told one-liner jokes after surgery and before painful medication felt less pain compared to those who didn't. (I guess that doctors and nurses are part-time comedians after all.)

So if you want to keep your body healthy, just give yourself a good dose of humour every day.



Now I think that this post is a bit random, but if it helps you and brightens up your day, good for you! (:

18 Til I Die

I wanna be young the rest of my life
Never say no - try anything twice
Til the angels come and ask me to fly
I'm gonna be 18 til I die - 18 til I die

Can't live forever that's wishful thinkin'
Who ever said that must of bin' drinkin'
Don't wanna grow up I don't see why
I couldn't care less if time flies by

18 til I die - gonna be 18 til I die
It sure feels good to be alive
Someday I'll be 18 goin' on 55! - 18 til I die

Anyway - I just wanna say
Why bother with what happened yesterday
It's not my style I live for the minute
If ya wanna stay young get both feet in it - 18 til I die

A 'lil bit of this - a 'lil bit of that
'Lil bit of everything - gotta get on track
It's not how ya look, it's what ya feel inside
I don't care when - I don't need to know why

18 til I die - gonna be 18 til I die
Ya it sure feels good to be alive
Some day I'll be 18 goin' on 55! - 18 til I die
Ya there's one thing for sure - I'm sure gonna try

Don't worry 'bout the future - forget about the past
Gonna have a ball - ya we're gonna have a blast
Gonna make it last - 18 til I die

Bryan Adams rocks!
He's 48 now and is still rocking on!
Awesome!

Fazed.

I was reading the sports section of The Newpaper last Thursday, and I came across this tongue twister about The Offside Rule and I think its nuts. Anyway, here you go:

1st phase,
2nd phase,
Totally fazed.

Andy Johnson, who scored when he was onside by a comfortable margin, saw his goal ruled out, because he was deemed offside.

The problem, you see, was that Johnson was offside when the move started, but was deemed to be onside because he wasn't interferring with play.

Then, when he was onside, he was deemed to be offside, because it was the second phase and despite being offside, but onside, for the first phase, he was onside but actually offside for the second.

Confusing huh?

Chinese New Year?

Happy Chinese New Year! Pull your own ear.

Okay. This year is the year of mouse right?
Look at what pictures I took from my relative's house. Yeah.









P.S I took these two photos from my handphone camera, so the quality isn't that good.

Futsal

Tiago, Ari, Mithyuê, Lenísio and Falcão.

Well, I guess you must be wondering who are these guys.
Haha, these are some of the players that I can thought of from the Brazilian National Futsal Team.
Anyway, I just witnessed Brazil VS Argentina in the KL World 5s Futsal Tournament on Star Sports yesterday, in which Brazil won by 4-0.


-------> The best futsal player on earth: Falcão

I have to say that futsal is awesome! Tricks and flicks plus lots of goals is a total enjoyment! You have to see and experience it yourself. (:

I wanna play futsal!
