Eheh... hello once more! *yeah, I strike again with my multiple posts in one-day tendency* =P

~*^Great master L-double u- n^*~, I think you're right la, sleep deprivation really makes people a little retarded XD

Stressed and frankly, quite a bit going through my mind now. So what to do? Write, of course.

I miss Southampton FC! I miss watching them on Astro, when it's premier league season. I miss hearing fans singing 'When the Saints Come Marching In', and most of all, I miss watching the Saints play at St Mary's.

Many have asked me, 'Why Southampton?'

Well, it's hard to describe the emotions I feel for the club. Pride, love, disappointment, hope, and more... all rolled into one. That's how I feel about the club. So much so that without even making an effort to do so, I refer to Southampton as 'we'. As in, 'We'll be playing against (club name) this weekend. I know we can do it.'

It's the same with Ferrari and F1. The team is where my heart belongs when it comes to F1. I wouldn't be able to like any other team as much. I grew up instinctively loving Ferrari cars (and still do! XD ) with that interest leading to a supporter-commitment to the Ferrari F1 team.

To me, supporting a club/team/etc is to love it for all the right reasons, sincerely... kind of like how one should love a bf. It doesn't matter if they're having a great season or a disastrous one, you'll still be a supporter. One may rant and groan, but at the end of the day, there's still a feeling of emotional connection.

Anyway, tomorrow's the fourth last race in this season's racing calender. It's the race that means the most to me, as a Ferrari fan. Monza,Italy... I share your hope of hearing the Italian anthem being played tomorrow on the podium.

[Listening : I'm Not Missing You - Stacie Oricco ]
[Mood : Pensive ]


Oh, Oh
I'm not missing you
Been through just about everything that I could go through
When it comes to relationships
Don't know what I was missing or why I ain't listen
When I told myself that was it
Now here I go, hurt again
Cause of my curiosity
Now that it's over
What else could it be, he just had to cheat

I made a promise never to settle
Why didn't I keep it?
Cause I hated the heartbreak
Crying and cheating, the fooling around

CHORUS
(But) I'm not missing you
I'm not going through the motions
Waiting and hoping you call me
I'm not missing you
You might have had me open
But I must be going because
I got life to do
I know I'm usually hanging on
I used to hate to see you gone
But this time it's different
I don't even feel the distance
I'm not missing
I'm not missing you

It's a shame in a way cause
I feel that I may not ever find the right one for me
Did I leave him, is he right in front of my face oh
Will my true love ever be?
Why would I go on a search again
When I know what the end will be
What good is love when it keeps on hurting me?

I made a promise never to settle
Why didn't I keep it?
Cause I hated the heartbreak
Crying and cheating, the fooling around

Chorus x 2

No I can't be with you
Cause I'm scared felt like I was falling when you left me
I can't keep going through life
Unaware of what I missed
And the person I could be
Love's good when it's right
And when it's left in your memory
All the times I let you down
I guess love will be nice for someone else's life

(But) I'm not missing you
I'm not going through the motions
Waiting and hoping you call me
I'm not missing you
You might have had me open
But I must be going because
I got life to do
I know I'm usually hanging on
I used to hate to see you gone (I used to hate it)
Oh different, oh feel the distance
I'm not missing
I'm not missing you


I'm not going through the motions
Waiting and hoping you call me (knockin' at my door)
You might have had me open
But I must be going because (it's the best day of my life)
I know I'm usually hanging on
I used to hate to see you gone
Oh different, feel the distance
I'm not missing
I'm not missing you I'm not missing you (oh baby)
I'm not missing you
I'm so over you


I love this song! It always evokes a lot of emotion in me as the lyrics are simply awesome. It's really so easy to relate to for anyone who has ever been in such a situation, and I kept humming this song after "the breakup'" - although I did and still do miss him.

It really does relieve some of the pain, frustration, and bottled up angst. Although the one song that REALLY makes me all nostalgic is Mariah Carey's Always Be My Baby. That isn't 'his' song though.

It was just another song to me until I got teary-eyed on the way back from tuition after closely listening to the lyrics for the first time. At that time, I was regretting not treasuring and appreciating Navin more when I still had him. Together with my particularly melancholic thoughts, the song seemed to be expressing what i felt so acutely that it struck a chord in me. And in a way, I guess he'll always be a part of me since he was my first bf, and the one I had a crush on (albeit on and off) for 3 years.

It was the same with I'm Not Missing You too, when i first heard it after breaking up with 'he-whom-I-cannot-name'.

By the way, Aaron very creatively (well, in my opinion) 'transformed' My Chemical Romance's 'I Don't Love You' into a Malay patriotic song. Well, I thought he was a tad half-baked too at first, but after listening to it, I have to admit that I like it ^^

And... the anguish and misery that follows after every heart-wrenching and demoralizing blow to my 'Red and White Army'... continues. They lost last night to Norwich. Norwich! The team I used to laugh at! This very unfortunately signifies that Southampton has lost all of its last 3 games - 2 within Championship context and 1 Carling Cup match. But Adele still loves her team!

She is also not too sane, having invested time into downloading a Southampton screensaver (it's really very good and informative! Just what a Saints deprived gal needs! =p ) and risking possible strained relationships with various family members by forcing Southampton down their throats. Well, at least I don't have a Saints wallpaper too. But... I pity my hard drive. A little bird told me that my 4GB music collection, goodness knows how many scanlations (I've lost count), delicious pics of various J and K artistes, and vids are little better than a pronounced death sentence for my C Drive.

Hey, with a tagline like "While your computer snoozes you can enjoy a selection of eye-catching Club images, player profiles, Club information and much more!", it was too hard to resist. I rest my case.

My last post as a lass of 17. Ah, the nostalgia XD

Well, what better to post about than one of two teams (the other being Ferrari) that are able to bring out all the spirit in me. When it comes to Southampton FC and Ferrari's F1 team... Adele can be one semangat-ed and garang gal =p

Anyway, the match between Saints and Crystal Palace is going on right now... and although it will be the perfect gift if Saints win... CP is currently leading by one goal. The eternal SFC optimist in Adele says: Well, if we don't win, let's just hope the goal difference is only by one. If we do win, GREAT! It'll be our first start of season win since 1988, and certainly the first at St Mary's. Either way, I'm darn proud to be a Saint =]

But I really really admire Leeds' fans. To be able to keep faith and stay loyal as you see your club being embroiled in turmoil after turmoil, plunging from being legends of Premiership status to unglamorous-and-gritty First Division to doubly-unglamorous-and-doubly-gritty Second Division must be awfully tough. To all Leeds' fans who've stayed behind the team through the rock bottom moments and uncertainty, I sincerely salute you.

I hope I can be as good a Saints supporter.
