My word of choice is Hanyhany

 

Here's some of mine :

Ever since I can remember, me and my dad (if we're both home) always, always start the day by :

Very silly, I know.

 

But I read somewhere that it's a sign of father-daughter bonding. Must have been from one of those trashy 'psychology-help' books. Still, I'd throw in my dime's worth.

 

I have yet to tell my friends the existence of this space.

 

Don't know why, usually I'd be ringing everyone's doorbell to share the latest bit of news.

 

But I'd rather keep this one to myself.

 

***********************************************

 

I thought about it for a while and I suppose I know why.

 

Well, I've been blogging at blogspot before I came upon MSN spaces. (more at the insistence of a friend, she was positively, rabidly foaming at the mouth. I'd be crazy to say no)

 

And I told people about my blog at blospot
And people I know read it & leave comments

 

So everytime I add a new entry, I feel compelled to write properly and about interesting things.
I'm quite sure my friends will not want to read about the color of my steak sauce on Wednesday.

 

Compelled to the point that it starts becoming a bit of a burden, it usually takes me a few hours to finish one post.

 

*********************************************

 

I suppose I'll tell friends of this space soon.

 

But for now, I just want to blog about whatever I want, whenever I feel like it.

 

On that topic, here's a special shoutout to the 1st person to leave me comments! (very much appreciated) :

 

 

 

 

Oh, by the way, I lost the bet.

Not only was it cloudy, the Rain even made a guest appearance and bringing its friends, Lightning & Thunder.

 

Plus point : the ice-cream man didn't come on account of Cloud, Rain, Lightning & Thunder having a party 'upstairs'

I'm back in college *very reluctantly, I might add* after a month-long stint of a holiday.

 

*Sigh*

 

I came back two days late than the supposed date, successfully missing 2 whole days of classes.

Frankly, I don't even care.

 

My head has been wrapped around football lately.

It's all I think of, I even keep having Zidane's headbutt featured in my dreams at the wee hours.

 

It completely escapes me why I'm like this.

I've never been a huge fan of sports before.

I absolutely detest sweat-producing activities.

Up until recently I never knew, let alone cared about football

 

*offside? is that the new shoppe by the cineplex?*

 

*90 minutes?! just to chase after a ball and kick it around?! bollocks, i tell you*

 

***********************************************

 

A guy friend,N, decided to 'help me out' by making his life-mission to educate me on football and its associates.

 

He sat me down (hard, I almost bounced back off the chair), wrestled the remote control from my grasp and changed the channel from MTV2 to CUP1 <the official FIFA WC channel in Malaysia>

 

Amidst my loud protesting, he proceeded to 'educate' me using the replay of  Team A vs. Team B match as a visual aid. (much too visual for my liking, somebody's groin was horribly stampeded upon. Ouch!)

 

A moment of silence for all Y-chromosomed being, N sympathetically grabbed his own nether-region to assure his 'friend' is still well & there.

 

He then started to inform me in the most intimate detail of the pain of having someone's crotch rammed against the kneecaps.

 

Just to stop him from sharing too much information with me thus resulting in me heaving up my lunch and dinner from 3 years ago, I conked his head and shouted my agreement to watch football in peace.

 

***********************************************

 

Surprisingly, I liked it.

 

Which is rather profound to me, as I have an attention span of about 10 seconds.

 

I have always been on the receiving end of many pinches courtesy of those near and dear to me, because when they pour out their heart to me, I always get distracted by something shiny @ moving @ breathing.

 

From that day on, a new chapter of my life begun (very cheesy, I know. But I just had 3 choc chip biscuits, the sugar's meddling with my head)

 

My favorite channel goes from MTV / MTV2 / V / HBO to ESPN / CUP1/ ASSP

 

Go figure.

 

And I'm happy to say that for once, I'm glad football's on the boob tube despite the many groin-bulldozing, sweat-dripping, unshaved faces I see on the pitch for a month :)

 

*********************************************

 

And now it's all over. *Sigh again*

 

Can't wait for EPL!

 

(Thank you, N, for my new appreciation for the beautiful game. I will treat you to dinner as promised. Soon)

Loves, I'm off to watch Fight Club with my copain as she had just managed to smuggle one all the way from Sarawak.  

 

 

 

Against Portugal, 3-1

 

 

*******************************

 

 

yeah, i know the third-place playoff is a fair bit off a dissapointment

 

no team would want to play willingly at Stuttgart last night because it's a sure-fire confirmation that they're not the FIFA WC 2006's champion.

 

you can pretty much see that in both teams. 

Before the match, during the national anthems, Germany was grim and Portugal look resigned.

 

 

With Michael Ballack on the bench for injury and Luis Figo at the sidelines, it was pretty intense.

 

 

*********************************************

 

 

the first half was very bland with there were many fouls and mistakes made. Germany got a lot of free kicks that night, but to no avail.

 

The game took a turn at the 56th minute when Bastian Schweinsteiger launched a distance shot sailing past goalie Ricardo, 1-0.

 

After that the game was swerved 180-degrees with Germany looking in much better form with one goal in their pocket.

 

60th minute was a shocker as Portugal's Petit sailed the ball into their own goal following Schweinsteiger's free kick, rewarding the Germans with another goal. *ha! take that Portugal*

 

and yes, the 'own-goal shot' was admittedly accidental, but nonetheless placed an advantage for team Germany, 2-0

 

 

*****************************************

 

 

Cristiano Ronaldo pretty much tried his best to get past Germany, but even when he did he just failed miserably on the account that Oliver Kahn was in top form despite playing second fiddle to Jens Lehmann.

 

I take my hat off to Kahn, he was spectacular last night, his saves were timely and swift. That should shut ppl up on what a lousy coach Klinsmann is.

 

I think Klinsmann was by far one of the best coach on the field. He really feels for Germany, jumping up and down at every goal so far, unlike the Swede's coach who bears no emotion for his team.

 

the best thing about Klinsmann is that he was always there for Germany, and he didn't take Germany's defeat to heart. he was proud of them no matter what. now that, is coaching.

 

 

*****************************************************

 

 

Sadly though, Miroslav Klose was replaced by Oliver Neuville at the 65th minute. I was hoping to see more from Klose last night, what with the Golden Shoe Award at stake.

His understanding with Lukas Podolski that has given them many goals before, just wasn't there last night.

 

 

********************************************

 

 

He scored another distance shot at the 78th minute, 3-0, and was estatically shirting-off after that.

 

Which raises one question :

 

Scweinsteiger is definitely a  pro at distance shots, and he proved it once and for all last night.

 

Portugal's only goal was really courtesy of Luis Figo at at the 88th minute. Nuno Gomes did a header on the ball crossed by the legend himself, Figo. 3-1.

 

***********************************************

 

 

 

Cristiano Ronaldo was doing what he was well known for : diving, faking, cheating.

He really should go play street soccer instead.

 

 

*********************************************

 

 

Justice was definitely served last night. Germany deserved to win after their spectacular performance in the WC so far.

 

They are one of the most powerful and consistent team in the world. Having both the fitness and finer skills that are the makings of a truly winning team.

 

And Germany has a lot of young talented players on it's side and I can't wait to see them on the field in 2010.

 

 

*********************************************

 

 

Speaking of that, Lukas Podolski was awarded The Best Young Player Award 2006, beating Cristiano Ronaldo for it.

 

Very much deserved. Podolski is by far one of the most talented and consistent young players.

what differentiates Podolski from Cristiano Ronaldo is the fact that Podolski has always played a good, clean game and is non-controversial whilst Ronaldo just yearns for attention and will resort to snitching.

 

I'm really looking forward to Podolski's performance post-WC.

*please remain Germany's inspiration*
