Heartbreak Hotel
And so.. we're been kicked out. Done in in the last TWO minutes of extra time when some short hairy goblin like pasta crunching dude shot one in. last twoooo minutes. just one week ago i shouted myself hoarse over tt too exciting win over the argentines n now e quest ends like tt. its tt one moment, that one that can change everything.
i still recall tt horrid moment all too clearly. the traitorous ball sailing off the goblin's foot slow mo into the back of the german net. and i stopped my nervous jig n sat on the floor mouth hanging open while millions of germans grasped their heads simultaneously. my phone was swarmed w condolences n gloats, the commentators' celebratory tones didnt help i shld have muted them and the sight of little blue clad things grinning n jumpling wildly on the screen while my heroes sat in despair were too much to bear so jill and i poured ourselves into bed at the crack of dawn heartbroken. or rather just me since jill's heart was alr in pieces by englands exit.
i still love germany tho, and im still boycotting italian food for a week. Despite my declaration being met w cries of 'dont be stupid!'. its called taking a stand and besides, im mourning. The german team really did deserve this lah.. a place in the final. They were much better than the 2002 team.. under the guidance of klinsy playing a more exciting attacking game.. still solid in defence n full of young energetic hungry cute players. I can say they deserved it
more than the italians.. who
scraped thru their matches esp the one w australia. oh welllllll. so its italy vs france.. who would have thought. it doesnt matter who wins tho.. it makes no diff to me. i just want portugal trashed now! esp since cristiano 'unscrupulous' ronaldo's there. frankly i hate the guy. Tho figo deserves respect..
hahah ok enough world cup for now... besides tt paaaaainful match my first wk off work has been pretty ok. Its nice to be back in the world i know... away fr raffles place- the Land of Monster Buildings, Black Pressed Suits n Steely Women on Killer Heels.
I've never felt like this in a long time.. since pri sch june hols prob. Just slow relaxation n good old friendship. Its almost unreal. I'll blog more perhaps when i get the pics [attn: Lee Sin Yan Mak Prata J Theo Lee n Fok WChing] heh.
For now,
GO DEUTSCHLAND- 3RD PLACE FINISH!
