Some interesting facts about women and sleep:
Some findings:
- 74 percent of women sleep less than eight hours a night during the work week; the average sleep time was six hours and 41 minutes.
- 31 percent of women reported using caffeinated beverages, over-the-counter medications or prescription drugs to help them stay awake during the previous year.
- 50 percent of women drove while drowsy, and 14 percent dozed off at the wheel in the previous year.

What's with me? Was hooked on Martina McBride's Valentine the whole day! Yup and also to Jordan Chan's Shen ah jiu jiu wo. Translated it means God help me. In the love sense of cos.
No, I'm not being upset on being single or anything, but that song nostalgic lah. Still remember the times in JC. Whenever I hear the song, it'll remind me of my JC days. Yup, 4 years back, when life was so simple. Ok not so but still was a very enjoyable time of my life. The guys in my class were the best! Rite, not all but people like Jop, Wil, Elwin and Wings. And from S12 was Joseph. Those guys are just the best kind of friends 1 can ever have. Super friends is an understatement!
I'm impressed with England. Really. Able to get a draw under those circumstance. That was good. Ok, England did not exactly play very well cos Turkey in my opinion just threw the game. Too cautious and and did venture out to attack. Well, they had to pay the price. Main point that England should worry? David "Sad" James. He was a horror to watch of Englamd faithfuls. Pulling off a brilliant save one minute and screwing up the next. Got this feeling that the next England number one is going to Carlo Cudicini. That's if Italy does not field him. Cos he is eligible to play for England in Jul 04. I don't pity Becks missing the penalty. Not at all, in fact I was happy when he missed it. Yea!
Giovanni Trapattoni. I take my hat off you. You have been able to motivate the Azzurri into not playing complacent football. After the fall to South Korea/Moreno and Wales in Cardiff, the Azzurri have been playing quite good football. Wales and Azerbaijan by 4 goals, that's a good result. Especially in this morning's game! Kudos. The attack seems to to have settled in. And when del Piero comes back, Italy will have again the strongest team in the entire world. Which department will they not lack? Their defence and midfield is like super power. With an attack of del Piero, Vieri and Totti, they probably have the deadliest and most creative attack. Add Di Viao and Inzaghi to the bench, yes that's their bench, not very strong, just good enough to walk into any team in the world. First team to be precise. Watch out for them. All Italy need to do is to remain their form and consistency and not let complaceny in their way and there are few who can challenge them for Euro 04. Nice too see Italy and Czech Republic in the final.
The Czechs were probably the most unlucky team in Euro 2000. They played so well, but still fell. They lost simply cos luck was not on their side. How often do you see a team play so much better than their opponent and yet lose? And that if I remember correctly happened at least twice in Euro 2000.

A week is over again! A week where I had so little sleep. Sleep is now no longer an entitlement. Its now a privilege.
So many deadlines to meet. Arghz. Got to hang on. How ironic. I put my Windows Media on random and the song its playing now is Stressed out by Humpback Oak. Haha. Its a sign!
Euro qualifiers tomorrow. Italy takes on Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan not exactly I want Italy to play for suc an important game. Fans of the Azzurri will tell you that Italy plays well when the cards are against them. Look at the Wales game. Had they not been beaten at Cardiff, they would not had thrashed Wales 4-0 at home. I do not expect a huge margin but Italy just edging out Azerbaijan. Let's see if Trap can work his magic again.
Barthez's humbleness is really make me admire him. Yes, I'm admiring the clown. He's taking his current woe at Manchester United in his stride.
France goalkeeper Fabien Barthez is taking full responsibility for losing his first-team place at his English club Manchester United.
'If I lost my place, it is my fault and it will never be anybody else's fault,' Barthez said in an interview with French sports daily L'Equipe on Friday.
'It's up to me to do what is required. It is not the coach who puts the ball at the forward's feet, nor the journalists who slip up, it's me,' he added.
Wow. I really cannot believe him! Even though his place for his country is at stake and he is only 32 with at least 5 years left of playing in him, he's still so calm and compose. Such loyalty too. Such a rarity in the modern game. Man U is damn lucky to have such a loyal player in their wings. Another Solskjaer.
