hip hip hooray for PAVEL NEDVED

thus far...i'm quite alright and satisfied with the teams that made it to the next round...because most of them are whom i've predicted and wanted...however, the upsets are coming....and the very very first one..has to be one of my favorite - czech republic...actually after ghana (argh!!!) defeated them 2-0...i'm almost sure that czech republic is going home soon...as italy is not an easy team to defeat... and sighz... italy defeated czech republic 2-0...

rushed home just in time to catch that match on tv....it was pretty exciting...seeing how the czech went all out to play for victory..and for the first time, catching the sexy and hot italians dribbling, tackling, passing, defending and scoring... actually, this is the first time i realized that the defenders of italy are pretty neat...till date, they have NOT let in any ball..except for that dumb own goal...*laughs* but my favorite defender, maldini, is not longer playing...anyway, i think it's a good game...i concentrated on the italy-czech game for the very obvious reason ( read: cuter and hoter guys) and was only ocassionally switching to the other channel to get a quick update... czech was rather quick to bring the ball forward but they were not able to penetrate through the strong and thick "wall" of blue jerseys...

but i think the man who deserve ALL my admiration and applause is this:

PAVEL NEDVED

he's the midfielder of czech republic...but he's fantastically good...he can play left, right center, forward, backward...and for the game against italy...you can see him running all over the place...going all out for a victory... he's skillful and fast...and has amazing stamina...i could literally hear his name every other second...nedved trying to score, nedved in the middle, nedved at the back...etc etc etc... and when he accidentally caused someone to fall or whatsoever, you can always see him going forward to give that man a handshake....such good sportsman...and when the final whistle blew...i could feel his sadness and almost teared for him....actually, i teared a little...*laughs*

BUT........

finally, i've won my FIRST BET...hahahaha..a big breakfast meal from macdonald will be hop and piping on my table tomorrow morning... betted with my colleague that ghana will win USA and i give him 1/2 a ball...*laughs* yay!!

time to hit the sack...wasted my sleep yesterday..woke up in the hope of watching an exciting match between argentina and netherlands..but was dozing off 90% of the match...and now my eyebags are pretty bad...maybe i should wake up for the brazil-japan match later....on 2nd thoughts..i think i need to sleep.... *smilez*

just made another stupid bet with some guys in office...each of us picked a final winner...and the winner will get a subway sandwich from each of us...and we called it - "THE SUBWAY POOL" hahahaha..there are 5 of us...which means the winner will get to eat 4 subway sandwiches...*laughs* and my pick - PORTUGAL!! *laughs* the other teams are: ARGENTINA, BRAZIL and GERMANY!!

SO EXCITING!!!!!

i think women should watch the world cup

am very sure many wives and girlfriends have become the soccer widows...*laughs* because for the next 4 weeks...all the husbands and boyfriends will have their full attention on 22 men chasing after a ball with 3 old men overlooking the whole game...

MEN...am very sure many wives and girlfriends have become the soccer widows...*laughs* because for the next 4 weeks...all the husbands and boyfriends will have their full attention on 22 men chasing after a ball with 3 old men overlooking the whole game...all their monies will be with the bookies and government...eat balls, total number of goals, half-time win etc etc etc...husbands and boyfriends will have dark eye rings from the early morning matches which by hook or by crook they have to watch it...and no more shopping or dating as they need to sleep in the day to replenish their energies for the late night matches over beers and peanuts which causes beer paunches to appear... *laughs* this is the time when men bond together to support their favorite team...cheer when a beautiful goal is scored and jeer when the referee or player make a silly mistake...

WOMEN... most women have no interest in soccer...but of course there are a few who have...sadly, i think most women watched it or tried to enjoy it because of their husbands or boyfriends..which i personally thought it's pathetic....if you dont like it...let your men enjoy the game with his friends and the girls can have a great time shopping since it's the GSS now...*laughs* there's always the offside rule which most women simply dont understand it...and most cannot see the point of running 90 minutes all over the big field trying to score that 1 goal which can determine the fate of the soccer team....but then again, am sure men cannot see the point of going into a shop with the word "SALE" all over and emerged with many shopping bags and satisfied buys...*laughs*

however..i think we women can actually enjoy the world cup...this is the only time..when you see the BEST and CUTEST and HOTTEST players of all countries in 1 month...how often do you see steven gerad, frank lampard, david beckam working in 1 team?? how often do you get to see cristiano ronald, luis figo, pavel nedved, del peiro, totti, nakata and many more in 1 night with 3 matches?? actually sometimes, at the end of the games, if the players decided to take off their jerseys...look at the 6 packs, biceps and triceps..they are simply gorgeous...haha! actually was watching the czech republic versus usa game yesterday...and because the weather was so darm hot..most of them perspired like crazy...nedved from czech republic was wearing a white jersey..and because he was running all over..his shirt was drenched in his persipration and so it sort of stick to his body and oh my goodness..the 6-pack is so bloody obvious and awesome....i was literally oogling at it for like 3 seconds...*laughs* so in my opinion, the world cup is where i can actually oogle at many many pretty and sexy boys...*laughs*

although it may seemed silly to see 22 men fighting over a small ball...but hey, look at the way they dribble...look at the way they manipulate the ball....personally, i thought it's pretty impressive...look at the way they run and the die-die-also-must-score attitude...look at the way the goalkeeper jumed and dived to save the tidy ball from entering that huge net...the proud and exihilarted look on old men (coaches) when their teams score...it's pretty amazing...look at the way these men defend, attack and pass the ball can be quite interesting actually...

actually...many of my girl friends thought that i know a lot about soccer...but frankly speaking...i only know enough to "bluff" my way through...i know enough to strike a conversation on soccer...but of course...not for long...hahahaha! my colleagues said that the way i watched the world cup and the way i talked about cars...i'm like a guy born in a girl's body unfortunately...*laughs* well...like i've said...i know enough to bullshit my way through!!! but somehow, when a group of my female colleagues were talking about jewellery, shopping, baking, and all that...i was not able to contribute my 2 cents worth at all...*laughs* need to know more to bullshit my way through!!!

okay..time to sleep...need to wake up later to watch brazil versus croatia...i think brazil will win by 2 goals... :)

germany versus costa rica

well...everyone knows that the world cup is here...almost everyone is into it..almost everyone is watching it and almost everyone is making bets...including myself...hahahaha! but i think i have to start making smart bets with people...i have to start analyzing and rationalizing the bets that i made...

THE FIRST MATCH AND I LOST!!!!!!!!!!! *SIGHZ*

although my stakes were not high..i've already lost 20 bucks and 1 breakfast to my colleagues..hahahahaha! on hindsight..i think i'm being too stubborn...*shakes head* i made 3 bloody bets with 3 different colleagues....insisting that COSTA RICA will win with a score of 1-0...because i simply think that the germans play boring football... in the previous world cup..although they were in the finals....their games were seriously boring and slow... BUT i was so freaking wrong this time...*laughs* within 5 minutes of the opening match...the germans scored the first goal...*sighz* and the rest is history.... and i must admit... the germans are REALLY FANTASTIC defenders...just look at how happy they were:



although there were 2 goals from the other team..but frankly speaking..the 1st goal seemed rather offside..but no comments on that...anyway, there will be free breakfast for everyone on monday morning...courtesy of the stubborn me....*laughs*

i started the world cup on a bad note..maybe i should stop betting...*laughs* but i joined in the soccer pool of our company...each of us predicts the teams that will make it to each round...and points will be allocated...each of us has to put in 50 bucks and at the end of world cup..the one with the highest points will win the pool of money... so exciting and interesting right?? this is so darn cool..but i guess my chance of wining is negative 500%...i cannot even predict the right winner for the first match...*sighz*

many predicted that ENGLAND will emerged the winner...but i really doubt that...i think they will be kicked out at the quarter finals...*laughs* my winner for this world cup... PORTUGAL!!! why? because of these HIM:

and not forgetting the these 2 hotties:
Luis Figo *grins*

Cristiano Ronaldo *grins*

i wish that my computer will break down...

am very sure everyone has this machine at home...and i must say this machine has become indispensable in our daily lives... am absofuckinglutely sure that no one can live without it... but for now, i wish that the dying computer at home can just DIE...

there are 3 of us at home using the computer...but most of the time..my 2nd brother will HOG the computer...he will HOG it from 7pm till 3am...and what is he doing?? MAPLING! for those who doesnt know what's mapling...it's basically playing a stupid online game called "maple story" and the main aim of the game is to collect points and money and decorate your characters...THAT'S IT!! such a pointless game...

anyway, as i was saying..he will simply HOG the computer all day long...as long as he's home..he's doing NOTHING ELSE but MAPLING...and whenever i said.." hey, let me use the computer for a while" he would give me that irriated look and that irriated answer.." why do you want to use? i want to use.." fucking hell..he can use it to play games and i cannot use it for my own leisure? no doubt i can use the computer at work..but there are certain personal and private things that i do not want to use the company's machine....

for example, yesterday night..i told him i need to use the computer...because i want to type my homework for my piano..and he gave me the same irritated look and answer.... puh-leeese.... i need the computer to do USEFUL WORK...and not to play some mindless games... and i'm not going to spend thousands to get a new computer or a laptop just because he's hogging the computer for some useless stuffs...as long as he's using it to play mindless games..i will ALWAYS snatch the computer with him...saying that i need to do WORK.. which is true BUT i will multi-task - chat, blog, do work, surf net - so as to make him wait nong nong to use the computer again....

THE WAR HAS BEGUN!!!!!!

aiyoh, i'm so darn childish...hahahaha! but i mean what i say....mark my words.... *grins*
