[070307] Jet lagged

It's 0052 right now, i have had less than 6 hours of sleep since 2 days before and I cant seem to fall asleep... just kept tossing and turning around in bed and it didnt help that various thoughts kept popping into my head... hope it doesnt last for long... would really hate to report to camp in a jet lagged condition...

The trip to newcastle was a real pleasing journey... a nice break from the mundane life of SCDF camp life and working on the weekends... surprisingly, ESPN bought business class tickets for the flights so flew over in true comfort and style... really enjoyed the business lounges in between transits in Bangkok and London.. just walk in, show your boarding passes and voila! You get to enjoy the comfy sofas, cosy atmosphere and help yourself to all you can food and drinks...

Being inside St James Park, the feelings i felt was hard to describe, a mixture of awe, joy and relief... getting to meet the players was a real piece of good fortune on our side, getting to meet the players whom i've only seen thru the telly was a larger than life experience... hearing, seeing and soaking in the atmosphere of matchday gave me a greater joy than anything else i've experienced in my 21 years of life... though the match was a bore and we got outsung by the travelling boro support, it didnt take away one bit the overall experience...

best of all, i've done me self quite a bit of shopping... and to top it all off, i've managed to keep within my budget and not overspend.. now, how's that for ya? Not bad eh? ah... as in life, all good things must come to an end... (cliche... i know i know)... the fulfillment of a lifelong dream, ah.. the bitter sweet after taste...

John Mayer - Dreaming with a Broken Heart

When you're dreaming with a broken heart
The waking up is the hardest part

You roll out of bed and down on your knees
and for a moment you can hardly breathe
Wondering was she really here
Is she standing in my room?

No, she's not
cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone.

When you're dreaming with a broken heart
The giving up is the hardest part

She takes you in with her crying eyes
then all at once you have to say goodbye
wondering could you stay my love
will you wake up by my side?

No, she can't
cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone.

Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my, roses in my hands?
Would you get them if I did?

No, you won't
Cause you're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone.

When you're dreaming with a broken heart
the waking up is the hardest part.
