I would say that the world cup this year was utterly disappointing. Except for the group stages, most of the matches where decided in either extra time or through penalty kicks. I spent on night with the guys at a friend's place to watch the semi-finals, England vs Portugal & Brazil vs France. Guess after watching those 2 matches, I decided that the only other match after that, that I was going to watch was the finals itself. Anyway, after the disappointing night, we left at about 5am and decided to do a clown car performance, squeezing 7 guys into a saloon car. I managed to get the front seat, and with that, a pic of the back seat. Haha…
Squeeze!
I think I can safely say that the most exciting moment in this world cup was the Zizou head-butting incident during the final match. The Italian guy most likely deserved it anyway, but rules are rules. Well, it’s finally over anyway. All the late nights/early mornings and all the bets lost and won. I hear that they are now selling the grass from the world cup finals, packaged for you to grow it in our front lawn (so u can tell your frens that you have a world cup pitch on your front lawn) or encased in acrylic and used as a paper weight. All for the cheap price of S$193. The perfect gift for a world cup fanatic. BTW, those who buy me grass as a present are gonna have to eat it in front of me.
Today I took a day off, though I feel it was somewhat of a waste, to attend my brother graduation ceremony at NUS. Lasted 2 hrs, but the time he took? 1 min. That was it. Walk up and receive the cert and off. The rest was all name calling, a short speech and that was it. I know I sound cynical, because it meant a lot to him, but well, I was hoping for more than that. Not to say that the lighting inside was horrible, making pic taking pretty hard. All I managed to get from the ceremony itself was abt 4 shots. And the refreshments given after that were awful. I think the only thing worth taking was the drinks. Hahaha… Well, its over for him, and my turn is next. Haiz, the pressure is already building, and the bar has been set. Pretty high I’d might add. Hope to at least meet the bar.
On the other note, I am currently changing my blogskin. I came across this very nice pic, and seeing how I can make it into a blog background. Anyway, I changed the background to that pic, so that you can get a preview. Till next time then. Ciao!
