recent updates..

oh thank God, I managed to submit my first essay!! yaay.. :)

there has been a lot going on this week...

on last Wednesday, I lost someone very important to me.. I called her Bude.. she's actually my grandma's sister, but she's like my own grandma.. she had been living with me since i was born.. :) she was my baby sitter.. she was the one i talk to.. she was an amazing cook.. she cared about me and my sister.. she was always there whenever i came home.. she was there when I had to leave.. she encouraged me in everything I did.. she loved my piano playing, and she used to sit to hear me play, and always came to the concerts I played in... she was a part of my life.. a big one... and without her, I wouldn't be here... I love her so so so much.. Bude, I'm gonna miss you a lot.. I love you.. thank you for everything.........

and a few days after that, it was my birthday... yaaay.. i'm getting older.. -_-'' I was planning to stay at home the entire day.. but my friends are a bit worried that I spent the night alone and felt sad again.. so they dragged me out to a place near the university.. it's called Bar One.. the place's really nice.. and that day was also the rugby world cup final.. England vs South Africa... so the bar was packed... some of my friends couldn't get in.. :( and.... people were everywhere, we could barely watch the game.. so we ended up talking, taking pictures, having fun... it was a great night... and knowing that you have people who care for you really made everything felt better... :)

well, things have gone pretty well this week.. i submitted my essay... :) got another assignment to write 2000 words essay due in less than 2 weeks... :(

oh, and today, i met a friend of my flat mates.. he's from netherlands.. he's really really nice, and he cook some very great pastas.. i love it.. :) anyway, we were watching kiev vs man u, and talking how much we love soccer.. and he said that he joined a soccer team a few years ago and played as a goalkeeper.. i said, 'that's so cool... i love man u's goalkeeper..' and he said, 'van der sar? he's from the netherlands!! *smiling happily* when i was a kid, it was in 1995, we had a one day training in the kids soccer team... and van der sar was there to teach us...'

......................... ................................ ...................................

for those of you knowing how much i LOVE that goalkeeper, you would know there are NO words that could explain how i react.....

though i remember saying, 'van der sar ... ? in the training .... ? with you .... ? you met him ..... ? he was there ..... ? no way .... !! you're serious?? ' and i couldn't remember the rest.. i'm pretty sure i did some very very crazy things because after i calmed down, i said, 'you must be thinking i'm crazy..' and he said, 'yes, i am...'

that's nice... :))) aaaaaaaahhhhhhghghghghghghg... so, announcement for everyone!! starting from now on, van der sar is related to me!! he's not only a manchester united's goalkeeper.. he is my flatmate's friend's ex coach!!!! hahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahaha....... yes, yes, 1 month here and getting nearer.. it's nice...!! hahahahahaha...

okay, stop it, mon...
