Yes it's official. It's only 1 more day to the long awaited World Cup!!! LOL. Aargh but Channel 5's gonna telecast selected matches. Wonder why we gotta pay so much television money. : (

Oh well, it's better than nothing I guess. Haha. Anyways, I've set Channel 1( the Malaysian network) just in case. : )

I got a new toy! It's called a Yo-Stick. It's literally this tube thing attached to an extendable and sorta elastic string, played somewhat like a yoyo. Yup. Even signed up for the workshop at Bishan CC! LOL. Conducted by Mickey! I signed up cuz I'm really curious what kinda tricks a Yo-Stick can come up with. Hmm in case you guys still don't get what a Yo-Stick looks like, here's a pic of it:

Haha I bought a blue Yo-Stick. When it plays, it'll actually be lighted! Can you imagine playing one of these when you go clubbing? The lights are so freaking cool! Haha.

That day when I went down to Bishan CC to pay for my workshop, the friendly aunty there actually thought I was Primary 6! She'd wanted to ask me to sign up for this camp catering to 7-12 year-olds, until she saw my IC. Haha. Am I flattered or insulted? Hmm. Kinda both, do I actually look that young to you?? LOL. I missed out on the F.A.S.T. challenge cuz of work, so hopefully, if I do master the Yo-Stick I can take part in the Yo-Stick Competition come Aug-Sept. For the 14 and above category, the champion will get $900 and a trophy, 1st runner up will get $300 I think and so on. Haha. $_$

Woohoo. Life is really relaxing right now, but to ease of my guilt of slacking at home while my folks slog it off at work, I help to do some household chores. Well, at least I try to do some. Hmm so far I can sweep, sweep and still sweep some floor. Haha. I guess I'll have lots to learn about such stuff. Went back to visit my friends yesterday, haha and I got a pressie from Yi Lin! Thanks girl, I liked the note hell lots! Haha. It was her last day yesterday. So there'll be one more slacker in the league. The League of the Extraordinary Slackers. So, that makes it LES. We are LES! God. That was lame...ok moving on--->

As I was saving, life's good right now. The pace is relaxing, and I get to do stuff that I like. Will be going down to Taka this Friday to catch the F.A.S.T. Challenge head-to-head challenge. Hmm this time I must get Steve Brown, YoHans, Ben's autograph and pictures taken( with ME!!!). Haha I hope I won't freak out then. : ) To see em on TV and then see em in the flesh it's like WOAH! Ye know? Haha. Oh wells, wish me luck, if I do chicken out at the very end, at least I got to watch them perform! Haha.

Have you watched the latest Adidas TV commercial? It's so darned cool! There're 2 boys( from some South American country. Brazil I guess?) and they're having this mini soccer game and they get to choose players, ANY players. So BoyA singles out players like Zidane, Beckham, Kaka. And BoyB was so hilarious, he actually chooses Franz Beckenbauer! F.Y.I Beckenbauer is a German soccer legend( he's history), born in 1945! And Oliver Kahn goes "Beckenbauer?" Lmao. You gotta go watch it!

Oh and now it seems everyone is wearing world-cup themed Tees, with Brazil/England/France/Italia/Argentina/Nippon/Germany emblazoned across their chests. Man oh man, when did countries become a brand/fashion statement? LOL. See, the World Cup actually does bring in lotsa consumer $...so can Channel 5 like telecast more matches in future( 4 more years to next World Cup)??

LOL. I wonder when we'll ever get to wear Singapore for World Cup matches.

Haha, there was this BBC sports writer I think, who commented that Sporean fans are one of the most punishing critics on their local footballers. I mean, you can't really blame us can you? We've been brought up being exposed to the EPL, La Liga, Italian Serie A, so I guess we'll compare the two more or less. So I guess the World Cup will be a great chance for our players to watch and learn. Haha but no matter what I'll always root for you guys, but currently with the World Cup on, I'll be rooting full-time for BRAZIL!!! Haha, Ronaldinho and gang dazzle us with ya Ginga magic!!! *_*
