Yoohoo.... watching football again...

Haa... Angola vs. Portugal

I can't miss this. IS PORTUGAL for goodness sake...

By the way, Iran and Mexico are so boring, I nearly bore to tears. There is no flow at all. By the way, did I say England's match yesterday was ultra boring? Or did you know already?

Seriously, maybe Angola plays even better than Mexico and Iran. (At least for now) And that referee... isn't he giving away yellow cards a little too easily?!

Right...

Just crapping. As usual.

Ciaoz.

YawNz...

World Cup finally started. Nice start. 4-3 to Germany. Watched it. And I don't even support Germany or Costa Rica.

Duh. Second half of the match between Poland and Ecuador now. Anyway, if Ecuador win, I must be so good in predicting. But then again, normally you are good at predicting the winners and losers as long as you don't place a bet on it. (With the exception of betting on Brazil.)

Anyway... Group B tommorrow.

9pm: England vs. Paraguay.

England shall win it, isnt it?

Well, just to make it a point - I don't support them. Erm.. I realized there is something similar between SG and England hur...

Look...

Singapore
- Aim to qualify for world cup by 2010.
Condition: Delusion of granduer (Serious)

England
- Win the world cup this year
Condition: Delusion of granduer (Mild)

Yawnz. Same condition. Right.. I am crapping. England is good. But.. not good enough just yet.

Then there will be Sweden vs. Trinidad and Tabago (Did I get the spelling right?).

Okie. I always support the Iberian, Scandinavian and African teams. So I am in a dilemna. (Haha... like they are dying for my support or something.)

Hopefully, it's a draw. I mean Sweden looks like a sure winner against the first timer. But then again, Sweden got kicked out by a first timer 4 years ago. Who knows?

Great. I am crazy. And it's gonna get worse as these matches go on...

Twins - Kindergarten



Kinda meaningful...

And.. well.. I cut my hair short. The weather finally got to me.

Okie... is just partly about the freaking weather. It's also partly because of being sick of having long hair. I mean I don't wanna have long hair continually for the next 5 or 10 years of my life.

That will be boring.

Went to watch X Men today. And... well... is really not my type of show. Seriously, what's the joy when everyone knows the ending? That good-triumph-over-evil plot is getting old.

I am near to slumber in the cinema until a terrible couple sitting besides us begin to stir things up. They are really @#&@^!*.

Anyway.. this is what really happen..

Today... I went to have lunch with my grandaunt and my counsins... rather unwillingly. My grandaunt just came here from toronto so I am kind of obliged to have the meal with her.

OK.. then we went for a movie. There's me, my cousins and my brother. And then the freaking couple who were sitting close to the aisle started their vulgarity ram at my cousins and brother because they need to pass by them to go to the loo. (Seriously, what's wrong?)

ANd I.. have the daunting task of sitting besides them. Apparently, my brother accidentally kicked the woman's flip flop and she fumed. She started saying fu*king hell... lack of education... etc. etc.. (Like my brother can hear them when he sit so far inside.)

I am really pissed since they were raising their voices like it's n-o-n of anyone's business. I just turned and APOLOGISED. (You know.. normally it works..)

Me: Ok. I am sorry. That's my brother and I don't think he done that on purpose.

Woman: Can you pick up my shoe? (is a flip flop) Your bloody brother kick it so far away.

Me: (Take the flip flop.. damn.. I have the urge to throw it in her face.. and there they were still making a big fuss) I am sorry. (Yeah right)

Basically.. I try to ignore them.. but they started having a conversation between themselves when in fact it's for US to hear..

Woman: People no education. Kids.

Man: Never go to school. Don't know how to behave. School never teach.

I can't help it.. I sniggered.

Man: People cannot understand English. (Then started speaking mandarin in Singapore style) Ta men ting bu dong ying yu, yau jiang hua wen. (Trans: They can't understand English, got to speak mandarin.)

HAHA. Damn. If I can still stand those dispparaging comments, that would make me a saint. So... well.. I just turned and said...

"Sorry. I am not a local and I can't understand what you are saying. Anyway, we have apologized. (Get over it!) Can you please concentrate on your show?"

I have a tough time controlling this time. Really.. I don't wanna make a fuss over some teeny weeny stuff. It just makes me similar to them if I do that, right?

Anyway... they continue "making conversations" though in a lower voice. I couldn't care less. I must admit that the thought of shaking the guy's hand to congratulate on how noble he is to endure such a girlfriend did once cross my mind. (Less victims to fall under her prey you see? Though the guy is not a lot better.)

Still, kinda glad that they make a dash for the exit before the credit comes out. Ha.. so I could turn and tell my brother and cousins something I hold back for the whole show.

Erm...

nevermind is just a Cantonese slur.

Isn't there such a saying? The older people grow, the more nostalgic they become?

It's like beginning to live in the past. Older people always have this syndrome. Those in their twilight years. It's not that hard to understand... since there must be a point in life when you realize that the future is nothing but a route to the inevitable - Death.

I mean.. that's when people begin to look back. That's when the future is no longer a valid path.

Erm.. why am I saying this?

Seriously, I have no idea. It's just a random thought. But that doesnt mean people our age don't look back in the past. I believe it's a form of escape. It's like telling yourself about the better times so you can forget about now.

Dwelling in the past and showing contempt to the current situation. Maybe.. everyone do that. But then again... guess everyone just accepts that. It's just parts and parcels of life.

But why?

Why just accept that? Is it neccessarily preordained?

There must be something we can do if we want to. The question is.. how much are you willing to do to get there?
