world cup
I don't know much about soccer. I know that the World Cup happens every 4 years and when that happens, its a HUGE affair. People come to work or for classes with dark eye rings, screams can be heard on a sporadic basis in the wee hours of the night.I don't know much about soccer but I do watch soccer. As what most people will say about gals who watch soccer, its for the guys. I won't deny that. My affair with soccer has always been tightly associated with the men in my life. It all started in my early teens, when my brother persuaded me to watch the Malaysian Cup finals with him. I remember it was december, I watched it on tv while sucking one of those christmas cane candies. It got rather exciting because I of course wanted singapore to win. That was the time when Fandi was in. If i remember correctly, it was a match against Pahang? And it was also the last year that the malaysia cup was held. i think we won.
Then I got pulled into EPL by my cousin. I remembered Man Utd was really in then. Liverpool vs Man Utd was the big thing. But i must admit that as these games were always aired rather late, i usually fall asleep after half time.
My first bf was a soccer fanatic. He used to insist that he can multi-task, ie. hold a conversation with me on the phone while his eyes are glued to the tv set. I hated that.
Now its the world cup again. No men in my life, but somehow, I find myself watching the world cup. I stay up late to catch some of the more potentially interesting matches. I was dismayed that Japan lost to Australia. I was disappointed that Sweden could not make their match more spectacular. Though sometimes, I am a bit of a sucker for underdogs so maybe it was great that tobago&trinidad manage to make it a draw. Now I wished that I had gone some place to watch the on-going korea match. seen Ahn Jung Hwan in action. The guy who became such a star after the last world cup, with also the gals going crazy over his looks. I was one of those. (yeah!! Korea vs togo, 2:1)
World cup can be bad for the health. Staying up late, snacking through the matches are just some of the few vices. Of course with the beer as well, drunkeness and rowdy banter follows. Lots of chips and other junk food. I had this huge craving for chicken wings during the sweden match. Macs delivery apparently takes an hour -- by which the match would be almost over, and as for KFC, you can only place your order before 9pm though they can deliver your food till 5am. So basically, if u plan to eat any of these stuff, u have to plan. I eat to stay awake. I know its bad but it happens.

Sometimes, when I drink coffee, strong coffee, i get a heady, high feel. A little bit light headed, as if I am above everything. And I float around the lab. haha. today was one of those mornings.
