The End of the World Cup

I can't believe it!! It's OVER!!! For those of you who watched the World Cup on Monday morning and secretly hoped that France would win simply because you didn't want Italy to win, I feel the same way you do. Am still in mourning and suffering from World Cup Hangover cos' haven't had enough sleep and haven't adjusted to the non-world cup timings. Sigh.

Most of the people I talk to agree that it's been quite a boring World Cup and I wonder why it's been so. Me being the typically analytical person have narrowed it down to the following reasons:
1. Brazil, Holland, England (because of the EPL and also to have an opportunity to laugh at Crouch) didn't even enter the semi-finals
2. No dark horses in the quarters so became quite bo-ring
3. Most games ended in a penalty shoot-out... which made the matches long, draggy and unfair sometimes.
4. Controversial referees
5. Nonsense timing of games (haha .... getting a bit personal)
6. Germany.... most likely tipped to win didn't make it to the finals.

All in all, I think regardless of the controversies and unhappiness it generated (due to ppl losing tons of money) it was something most of us couldn't give up... it only happens once every 4 years and you do get to see most of the world class players at one go. A month of soccer and everything else stops.... the shopping, movies, work, sleep

So... 2 days down, about another 700 days to Euro and 1430 days to World Cup 2010. Anyone betting on Singapore??

Sleepy Weepy

It's 3.30 in the morning. Squinting at the German/Italy World Cup game at the same time putting up this blog for the first time.

3.31...still waiting for someone to score.
Lehmann's orange jersey makes him look like an....Orange. (Sorry Germ fans)
3.32...still waiting for someone to score.
Italy's jersey looks a lil disco shiny. Mabbe it's my eyes.
3.33...still waiting for someone to score.
Dammit, score already?! Why're Lehmann's hands so huge? I sound like "The Bimbo" at Simpang.
3.34...still waiting for someone to score.
I can only type twenty words per minuit. And i get my spelling wrong as well. I'm leaving that in. So much for changing to a secretarial line of work.
3.36...Germany just missed the goal. How're they gonna win?!
3.37...I SCORE! Goodnite world! Better chance of seeing a goal in my dreams.

Thanx to Hubby Wubby for typing. I'm such a brat!

Italy Won??

I thought that I was suffering from delusions when I learnt from The Hubby that Italy won.... by 2 goals. There goes all my theories. My RO (Reporting Officer... kinda like a supervisor) won some money. I thought I would get some tips from him.... so that I can advise Koby [Don't be sad, Koby.... We all feel for you and your loss.. )-: ] Until I learnt that... he bet on 0, 1, 2 goals for the game. I mean....Isn't that obvious??? It's the semi-finals! What do you expect 4-0?? Only Faries would bet that! (I can hear Faries going "kurang ajar eh")

I'm still in school... Am feeling very sleepy but have to go for lecture now. Watching Bang, Bang You're Dead. But the real reason I'm going is cos the Auditorium is cooler... and much more comfortable to sleep in. Heh Heh!!
