Let's talk bout the World Cup. So far all 3 of my favourite teams are out - Spain, Australia and South Korea. Damn! The way the Australians got knocked out was so saddening that I could hear their heart broke. Argh, I hope the Italians get punished for their Seria A match fixing trial!! Spain was unlucky that they met France if not for the French's incapability to top their group. As for Korea, they set themselves up so nicely for the 1st 2 matches only to bow out after their 3rd game.

So, with my favourite 3 teams out, I declare Germany the team to support now! Credits to their coach Klinsman who transformed them from a boring, defensive team to a team that plays good attacking football. Argentina really disappoint me in their last match against Mexico if not I'll be rooting for them. England? Maybe in the semis. Brazil? Will beat England in the semis but only to be overwhlemed by the Germans in the final!

Go Deutschland!!

Damn.. Why is the Mexico team playing much much better now? They are making Argentina look ordinary. If they played like this for their last 2 matches, I would have been rich! Argh. And I think Germany is looking good. Should have bought them to win the World Cup! But then again, it'll get on my nerves to see Ballack lift the cup. (Read: Chelsea player. Haha.)

Anyway I went for my uncle's birthday dinner just now, and the moment my cousins saw me they were like, 'Ah Boy ah! Never sleep izzit? Why your eye bags so big and obvious!' Haha. Somehow I find it quite funny.


Ever since I've moved out of hall, my house becomes messier. My things are all around the place. Damn. Since next week I'm going for chalet, I think I wont be able to clear up till the week after next. In the mean time I can search for shelves and stuff. Lobangs anyone? I need to get rid of my desktop too.. The pregnant woman monitor especially.

I'm becoming a very important person nowadays. I'm sure many ppl have my number as their quick dials on their phones. Haha. I need a break! Argh! I'm going for a week long chalet next week. The chalet is a 2 storeys terrace house kind. And this is my long awaited break! But I'm wondering what are we going to do for that 1 whole week. You can't possibly bbq the whole week long right?


Liverpool signed Craig Bellamy! I hope he wont become another Cisse..

I woke up late, at 9.05pm, and the first thing i did was to rush down to my block's tv room to watch the match, and to my horror, the room is flooded with Ah Tiongs!!! Its fully packed and the tv is so small, one can only stand at the back of the room, looking at a green screen trying to figure out what the hell's happening. OK what the hell am I doing in hall? There's a bloody EID exhibition tmr! Damn it!! And it starts at 8.30am!!

Anyway just as I was typing this I was trying out PPStream, a china (ya china again, how ironic that they kept me out of the tv room but yet allows me to watch on my comp.) based program that allows ppl to watch tv on their comp. And it works! I am watching Holland vs Serbia & Montenegro on my laptop in the comfort of my room!! There's hope after all!

I did not get Micron for my Industrial Attachment. I got Hart Engineering instead, which is 1 bus stop away from Micron, and 3 bus stops away from my house. Haha. It sounds like 'Huat', so I think it's a good company. Their employees will HUAT!

HUAT AH! HART AH!!

Extremely important advice and recommendations to be passed on to wives, girlfriends, fiancés, mothers, sisters, daughters, etc. (to all women in general).
These rules are to be communicated prior to the World Cup in June/July this year...

LIST OF RULES

1. From 9 June to 9 July 2006, you should read the sports section of the newspaper so that you are aware of what is going on regarding the World Cup, and that way you will be able to join in the conversations. If you fail to do this, then you will be looked at in a bad way, or you will be totally ignored. DO NOT complain about not receiving any attention.

2. During the World Cup, the television is mine, at all times, without any exceptions. If you even take a glimpse of the remote control, you will lose it (your eye).

3. If you have to pass by in front of the TV during a game, I don't mind, as long as you do it crawling on the floor and without disturbing me. If you decide to stand nude in front of the TV, make sure you put clothes on right after because if you catch a cold, I wont have time to take you to the doctor or look after you during the World Cup month.

4. During the games I will be blind, deaf and mute, unless I require a refill of my drink or something to eat. You are out of your mind if you expect me to listen to you, open the door, answer the telephone, or pick up the baby that just fell from the second floor....it wont happen.

5. It would be a good idea for you to keep plenty of things in the fridge at all times, and please do not make any funny faces to my friends when they come over to watch the games. In return, you will be allowed to use the TV between 9am and 11am, unless they replay a good game that I missed during the day.

6. Please, please, please!! if you see me upset because one of my teams is losing, DO NOT say "get over it, its only a game", or "don't worry, they'll win next time". If you say these things, you will only make me angrier and I will love you less. Remember, you will never ever know more about football than me and your so called "words of encouragement" will only lead to a break up or divorce.

7. You are welcome to sit with me to watch one game and you can talk to me during halftime but only when the commercials are on, and only if the halftime score is pleasing me. In addition, please note I am saying "one" game, hence do not use the World Cup as a nice cheesy excuse to "spend time together".

8. The replays of the goals are very important. I don't care if I have seen them or I haven't seen them, I want to see them again. Many times.

9. Tell your friends NOT to have any child related parties or gatherings that requires my attendance because:
a) I will not go,
b) I will not go, and
c) I will not go.

10. But, if a friend of mine invites us to his house on a Sunday to watch a game, we will be there in a flash.

11. The daily World Cup highlights show on TV every night is just as important as the games themselves. Do not even think about saying "but you have already seen this... why don't you change the channel to something we can all watch??", the reply will be: "Refer to Rule #2 of this list".

12. And finally, please save your expressions such as "Thank God the World Cup is only every 4 years". I am immune to these words, because after this comes the Champions League, Italian League, Spanish League, Premier League, etc etc.

Thank you for your cooperation.

I've passed all! Can watch World Cup in peace le..

I always thought that my neighbourhood is very self sufficient, I can get whatever stuff I want from here. But I was wrong! I couldn't even find 1 CDR here! That's quite pathetic. There are lots of hair saloon and bakeries, but not a single shop selling CDR. I cant even find it in NTUC. Maybe I'll set up a computer shop here someday. And I spotted a LAN shop filled with 10 year olds playing DOTA. What the hell are they playing games there?!?! GO BACK TO STUDY! As I was shaking my head in disbelief, then I realised that it's the school hoildays now. Hehz.


I will be falling sick. And will be damn sick for 1 month.


World Cup Fever.
