i stayed up to 3am last night just to watch brazil's match!
it was simply.. an incredible achievement for me! thank goodness for solitaire showdown and the spurts of adrenaline rush that o2jam gave me, otherwise i would really have missed ronaldo in action!
but the match was disappointing. didn't expect the croatians to be that good, and ronaldo was seriously missing in action. i was such an ardent fan of his, starting from the last world cup! yet yesterday he wasn't even seen running, not to mention that he kept losing the ball. and people keep attributing the cause of his lackluster performance to his weight! even the brazilian president posted him a fat question. i was really looking forward to his confident strikes and goals, and his smile and funny finger action whenever he scores! too bad he only got close to making one off-target shot, and got substituted in the second half of the match.
champions can never be champions forever. standards are hard to maintain. this kind of reminds me of our dream-like cjc competition, which preceded the horrible scba nationals.
nevertheless, im still going to catch all the brazil matches! at least their match against croatia was exciting, and kaka the shuai ge scored! oh and i feel really sad for my sis, for losing both her bets on brazil. why didn't they win by at least 2 goals. those irritating checkered shirts.
haha! something funny from the scv scope on croatia: when croatians are not distracting their opponents with their play, they dazzle them with their team jersey. it is a shirt of red and white checkers, which, when shining in the sun, can have quite a mesmerizing effect.
anyway, i also learnt a lesson. never ever attempt to study bio notes the day after staying up to watch world cup! i woke up at around 10am (not bad right, so early!) today, but tried reading through the respiration notes in the afternoon, and that brought me away to dreamland instantly! ended up spending quite a few hours slacking around in dreamland.
dajie's going off to bangkok tomorrow, erjie's leaving for germany to watch world cup soon. all of a sudden my holidays seem so empty.
