I'm back. Back to provide entertainment about my sad life to you guys. Just handed in my final assignment of the semester, and boyyyy, that kinda feels good. After toiling through the god-knows-how many assignments for the past few months, we're done with referencing and research and all that shit for this semester. But of course, there's just this tiny little factor called final examinations which throws a spanner into the works.

I've got another ten minutes, so I'll just do a quick post, before my Streamyx comes tomorrow! *ahemahem* More updates then.

But, I digress.

So in about less than a month, the World Cup kicks off.

I still remember the last time. We were in Form 3, and we bet on the matches in class. Don't ask. We gave our own odds on the matches and everything, and bet a few bucks a time. I remember conning Josie that I was giving him the upper hand in a bet, because he doesn't watch more than a few snippets of national football, but of course, in the end, I let him know. Because I'm such a nice person, like that. :D

Oh, but I can be real bitter too. Me and Sioki lost to some guy, which I think was Li Chun, and we decided to pay him totally in coins. *laughslaughslaughs*

As usual, I'm rooting for England. Rooney's out, but fingers crossed, he recovers, or they do well without him anyway. Big blow for them, but I'm not giving up. It's probably gonna be Gary's last World Cup too, so I'll be watching every single match.

I wanna buy a cheap England jersey that doesn't look so fake. Lol. Just to show my support for England [and I suppose to a certain extent, it shows my support for piracy. Damn, that's bad.] Anyone know where?

Anyway, I received this email on the World Cup about rules during the World Cup, and while in no way do I mean it to be deragatory or sexist towards women [well duh, I am a member of the fairer sex], it's just meant to be funny.

Rules for your girlfriend during the World Cup

1. From 9th June to 9th July 2006, you should read the sports section of the newspaper so that you are aware of what is going on regarding the World Cup, and that way you will be able to join in the conversations. If you fail to do this, then you will be looked at in a bad way, or you will be totally ignored. DO NOT complain about not receiving any attention.

2. During the World Cup, the television is mine, at all times, without any exceptions. If you even take a glimpse of the remote control, you will lose it (your eye).

3. If you have to pass by in front of the TV during a game, I don't mind, as long as you do it crawling on the floor and without distracting me. If you decide to stand nude in front of the TV, make sure you put clothes on right after because if you catch a cold, I wont have time to take you to the doctor.

4. During the games I will be blind, deaf and mute, unless I require a refill of my drink or something to eat. You are out of your mind if you expect me to listen to you, open the door, answer the telephone, or pick up the baby that just fell from the second floor... it won't happen.

5. It would be a good idea for you to keep at least 2 six packs in the fridge at all times, as well as plenty of things to nibble on, and please do not make any funny faces to my friends when they come over to watch the games. In return, you will be allowed to use the TV between 12am and 6am, unless they replay a good game that I missed during the day.

6. Please, please, please, if you see me upset because one of my teams is losing, DO NOT say "get over it, it's only a game", or "don't worry, they'll win next time". If you say these things, you will only make me angrier. Remember, you will never ever know more about football than me and your so called "words of encouragement" will only lead to an arguement.

7. You are welcome to sit with me to watch one game and you can talk to me during halftime but only when the commercials are on, and only if the halftime score is pleasing me. In addition, please note I am saying "one" game, hence do not use the World Cup as a nice cheesy excuse to "spend time together".

8. The replays of the goals are very important. I don't care if I have seen them or I haven't seen them, I want to see them again. Many times. There are always points of discussions which we missed the last time.

9. Tell your friends NOT to have any babies, or any other child related parties or gatherings that requires my attendance because:
I will not go,
I will not go,
and I will not go.
But, if a friend of mine invites us to his house on a Sunday to watch a game, we will be there in a flash.

10. The daily World Cup highlights show on TV every night is just as important as the games themselves. Do not even think about saying "but you have already seen this...why don't you change the channel to something we can all watch??", the reply will be: "Refer to Rule #2 of this list".

11. And finally, please save your expressions such as "Thank God the World Cup is only every 4 years". I am immune to these words, because after this comes the Champions League, Premier League, Italian League, Spanish League, etc etc. Also the European Championship & Copa America.

Thank you for your co-operation.

Regards,
Men of the World.


Lol. I had a good laugh.

The song of the mo- Hoobastank's If I Were You.

Thought of the minute- I suddenly have a craving for popiah.

Wish(es) of the day- A nice big popiah.

Thing(s) I should do- Go buy some popiah.

Thing(s) you should do- Go to Sheng's blog and give her bloody spammer a piece of your mind. Betcha thought that I was going to ask you to buy me some popiah, didn't you? :D

Favourite quotes since the last I blogged:

I had a lot but I forgot them all. :(

Dong: *stands in front of my fridge* Hey, errr, can I open your fridge?

Mary & me: -_-"
