Just a lil' updates...

On everything, big or small.

First thing first, I just finished a whole strings of interviews and at least for now there is nothing waiting for me to attend to. The one that I'm aiming for was done last week and I'm still eagerly waiting for them to call me back for a job offer. That's the one I really really like even after attending the interview. You know sometimes you thought you would like this job, but after the interview you will actually find yourself a bit reluctant to join them. But that was the one I want and am still very interested after the interview. I'm still full of hope that they will call me up!
Fingers crossed!!!

Yes! I witnessed how the Argentinian team and Maradona were embarrased by the 0-4 lost to Germany! Oh yeashhhhh~~~!!! I actually wanted to leave the Mamak stall right after the first half because I thought the match was a bit boring and I was feeling uncomfortable surrounded by a huge bunch of Argentinian fans who I think totally don't know how to watch football. They were making stupid noises for no reasons. Made me totally ==|||
Of course, now I would say luckily Deardo made me stay for the match and it turned out the Germans won the match so beautifully! Tell you what, I'm not even a fan of Germany, not without Michael Ballack. But Argentina is like one of the teams that I hate the most! Sorry lar if you think I'm being emo cos back then when I was a little girl screaming for Micheal Owen and David Beckham, Argentina kicked them out of the World Cup in 1998. And since they beat my favourite team Mexico in the last and current World Cup, there is definitely no love from me for the blue and white team! Ish~~~~!!!
So you can imagine how happy I was at the Mamak stall seeing how the Argentinian team lost with such an embarrassing scoreline, Maradona looking extra depressed, Argentinian fans all went quiet and all... Oh all those were PURE ENJOYMENT TO ME MAN!!! Wahahahahahaha...
I was actually clapping my hands and cheering so lan si-ly in front of those Argentinian fans that Deardo had to stop me. He was afraid of me being beat-up! Ha~!
If you have my Facebook, you probably already saw the short song lyric I've written. You know the song Don't Cry for Me Argentina from the movie Evita? The one sang by the famous Madonna? Now remember the rhythm? Now put these words into the chorus...

"Don't cry for me Argentina~ the truth is you're VERY lousy... Messi did nothing... Fire Maradona... Go pack and go home... Don't waste our time..."

Just for fun lar, not that I'm a song writer or whatever. Just to make fun of the Argentina team! Kekekekekeke...
Anywayz! Well done Germany! Now let's see if it is really a Germany vs Netherlands final!

I had a really good weekend. Not only did the teams that I supported won their matches respectively, I also earned a little pocket money for myself as an assistant swimming coach.
Alright, the story behind this was... Deardo's boss was running out of coaches this weekend so he asked a few people to come and replace them. I was a bit not too sure of my capability since I'm actually quite a new swimmer, but since it was just assisting and not really coaching, I took the challenge.
Now I must tell you, I was actually quite nervous hours before the first class on Saturday.
But well it turned out to be quite okay. I was just standing by the poolside, making sure the kids (who are mostly already pretty good swimmers, better than me in fact) do their practices in correct ways.
And I had fun! There was just little money earned but hey that doesn't really matter lar! I think I kinda enjoy teaching kids although I don't always love kids, not naughty ones especially. Now I'm actually seriously thinking of learning to swim seriously so that I can also coach part-time (maybe even full-time?) like Deardo! What about coaching as a couple? That would be really cool hey!

Till then, Oyazumi!!! :)

Sweet-oranges-win!

Remember in my earlier post I said I have a bet with Deardo Wong on whether or not the Brazilian team is going to make it to the final of the World Cup? Well that was probably why we didn't want to miss a good match between the Samba team and the Dutch.We were at the very crowded Old Town Kopitiam at Subang Avenue.
Nice pic taken by deardo!
Not that I'm a big fan of the Dutch, but like I said earlier, I love to see underdogs win. So I was there for the Orange team while Deardo was there for the Brazilians. We were definitely the only couple sitting over there watching the match excitedly!
You do not need to ask who we were supporting. The shirts say it all!
I shut myself up during the first half because I really thought the Brazilians were doing so much more better I thought I was going to lose the bet and that there will be no surprise in the result. And then came second half where the Dutch came back refreshed and I could sense they are going to fight back. But it was Felipe Melo who gave them an own goal and they added another later through Wesley Sneijder to make it 2-1 and I was so excited I cheered so loud and made faces at Deardo, while he looked so disappointed with his favourite team! And Melo made a fool out of himself later with a red card! Phew~!Guess what are those in the tissue papers?
Bloodily oily punya fish nuggets!
For about 30 minutes before the match ended it was so exciting that my hands and legs were shaking and my entire body was so hot like I'm having fever or something. I was waiting impatiently for the final whistle while the Brazilians were still trying to score!
And then it all came to an end!!! Even I couldn't believe myself that the Dutch have won! But you know what? They definitely deserve the win, even Deardo agreed. Dunga, the Brazilian coach was so devastated.
Brazil, as one of the hot favourite to win the cup, probably had too much pressure on themselves. And when their opponent went a goal ahead they all freaked out. And of course, no thanks should be given to Melo, who would probably become very famous after this match. An own goal and a red card! Fantastic!
And the truth is, I really think the current Brazilian team aren't anything compared to the team with the likes of Roberto Carlos, Ronaldo and Ronaldinho. Those players were so fast with the ball!
Deardo is also sad that his favourite team is out of the World Cup! He just told me the match actually looked very fake... ==|||
Anywayz, it was a really exciting match and I think it is worth it to have myself surrounded by smokers smoking next to me to have catch probably the best match of the tournament so far! :)
So the Netherlands won the match and will take on Uruguay in the semi-final while I won the bet. I'll tell ya later what did I win. :p

My dream final of the World Cup 2010 would be Netherlands vs Germany! What's yours?

World Cup fever finally strikes me!

If you have a chance to see Ducum or me today, you'll probably think we look like some zombies...
Well, for our favourite football team's sake, we stayed up till 4 something in the morning just to see them losing the match, thus exiting the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Sigh...

Last night was the first night that I finally started to catch some of the World Cup 2010 matches as the tournament now goes into Last 16. I was so thrilled to be able to be part of the crowd at the Mamak stall to watch the England vs Germany match! The atmosphere with the people cheering, shouting whenever there are goals, or even almost goals was just really cool! I badly miss that man! And I'm so glad I made it there to feel the atmosphere! :pEngland vs Germany, the kick-off moment...
Actually there was quite a big crowd over there, just that I was lazy to stand up and snap a nicer pic.
The match started off with Germany scoring twice, both very beautiful goals, if I'm not mistaken, through Klose and Podolski. They were obviously a better team while England's defense was very painful to watch.Few tables away were Sean, Ducum and I Rene!
Judging from the colour, it looks like Deardo is with England while I'm with Germany!
After a while, Upson scored with a beautiful header, but I really thought England was lucky. They were playing without knowing what they were doing. And then Lampard got lucky again and scored, but was denied by the referee... After a few replay it was obvious it was a goal and I was so freaking mad that it was denied!!!Obviously, THAT WAS A BLOODY GOAL!!!!
Let me make things clear. I'm actually a fan of both teams, although my favourite players Ballack and Beckham are both out due to injuries. So I was basically cheering for both teams while the others stayed loyal to their favourite team. What I was looking forward for was just a good match to watch, especially with loads of suspends, shots on target and goals! And the first half really was quite interesting I thought I made the right choice to watch it. And Lampard's goal would have make it 2-2 and the match would be much more interesting! And I supposed the result would be totally different too.
The disappointed Lampard...
Like in a badminton match, when someone is denied of a point by the linesman, it really will dampened the player's spirit. That is what I think happened to England last night as they just couldn't match Germany anymore in the second half and as it went into 4-1, we left the Mamak stall without finishing the match since it's not fun to watch anymore...

And then Ducum and I waited till 2.30am to watch the Argentina vs Mexico match at home since it was shown on RTM. Forget about England or Germany man, I AM A HUGE MEXICO'S FAN!!! Blur blur punya TV... Lousy...
Ducum says she is still supporting England despite their embarrassing loss.
Because I didn't wear a green shirt, the green container lit will do!
So never mind, Mexico lost. They lost to a way better team, I must say.

But since I'm already talking about Mexico, let me crap about when and why I'm such a fan of Mexico, a bit odd for most of you I guess since they are not really a famous team.
It was back in 1998 when I was still in F2 that my classmate started to ask me to bet on the World Cup back then, which was held in France. And so I watched some of the matches and totally fell in love with the Mexican team, and... The famous Mexican hat too! Back then there were this trio that I really like. They are truly some football legends. They are goalkeeper Jorge Compos, strikers Luis Hernandez and Cuauhtemoc Blanco.Jorge Compos was quite a top goalkeeper back then. Standing at 168cm, he is definitely very short for a goalkeeper. But he was pretty good in saving goals by leaping! And his striking attire always make headlines too! Plus, because he was actually a striker long before he became a goalkeeper, he always love to run far out from the penalty box to kick the ball. Sometimes when Mexico got a penalty, he will be given the chance to take on the penalty. How not to like such a talented goalkeeper with such a cute height?

Luis Hernandez was one of the top scorers in the 1998 World Cup and is by far still one the Mexico's best players of all time. He was really fast and dangerous back then in 1998. I think most soccer fans love him. He has this trademark long blond hair and always have his own style in celebrating a goal! Love him! He is actually my favourite player of all time! Too bad he has already retired...
Here's a goal he scored during the 98 World Cup...


Cuauhtemoc Blanco might be a bit more familiar to you as he was still playing in the ongoing World Cup and was actually a scorer when Mexico beat France 2-0 in their Group A match. Well, FYI, he is actually the oldest player of the tournament! Blanco is especially famous for his trick simply called a 'jump ball'. Watch this video and you will know what I mean...


Well I think I can say I always love underdogs. That is why I love Mexico so much.
Deardo and I are actually betting on whether or not Brazil will make it to the final. I've taken 'NO' just because I love to see underdogs win.
Anyone with me on this one? :p
