South Africa 2010

i can still remember myself telling someone during the 2006 World Cup that i want to go on a holiday in South Africa in 2010 during world cup. time really flies. it's 2010 and World Cup is coming and where i am? gloomy and polluted Hong Kong. sigh. anyway, on CNN, they kept saying that they are counting down to the world cup. and to be very honest, i am very excited too. anyway, it's going to start on 11 June and the opening match is South Africa vs Mexico

anyway, i know soccer is more of guy's thing but trust me, i think it is beneficial for girls to watch as well. seriously, when will all the cute dudes of different nationalities gather together? who can resist the charms of Cristiano Ronaldo and Fabio Cannavaro? and how can we forget my favorite Frank Lampard and Fernando Torres? well, yes they play in the leagues BUT not in the same league all the time. so this is the time i can get to see all my favorite guys in one occassion. hee hee.

also, this is the best time to hang out at bars with friends. it is very shioks to drink beer and watch soccer matches with friends. but then again, i think i have no more friends left to watch soccer with me. maybe i can go hang out alone and meet new friends. hahaha. but i doubt so. most probably i would just not be able to wake up. haha. but there is one match that i have to watch. Brazil vs Portugal. i love both teams but i prefer Portugal more.

anyway for some, this is the season to make $$$$. im sure many would be placing bets on all the matches and there will be different ways of betting. some will make $$$ and some will lose $$$. as for me, i have only bet once but i didnt really like it. haha i can still remember it's a game between England and Brazil. i would prefer England to win as i really like Frank but i know Brazil can win England easily. so i bet my $$$ on Brazil. during the game, i am torn between love and money. hahaha. at the end of the game, i won $$$ but it broke my heart to see my Frank so upset. sigh. anyway, this year, im putting my $$$$ on Spain. so it's good. i love Spain and so do i love $$$.

i wonder if Singapore will ever play in the World Cup. hahaha. maybe we should just aim to HOST and not PLAY. more likely to succeed.
