Champions of Champions

It was raining outside, cold, thunderstorm...

It was warm inside on my couch watching the finals of World Cup 2006...
Occassionally the television would blank out due to the storm...
But it doesn't matter anymore...
On the other side of the Earth there is a batttle going on...

Clash of the Titans, I would call it...

Penalty in the 6th min equaliser in the 19th minute... These were not just highlights of the game... No they're not... Because the game is so fierce and at any point of the game, there were many and equal chances to both sides...

But alas! after 120mins of playing... penalty is the only way out...
No doubt, as the commentator has put it... Italy has lost 4 out of 5 penalty shoot-outs...

Lippi was ready for it..
Every substitution they made seemed to be getting ready for the penalty shoot-out...
As opposed to the fast and fiery pace the italians showed in the first 90mins,
they were sluggish and played purely defensive in the extra time...

I think the entire France team has been tricked into losing this game...
Italians obviously are well-prepared for the penalty shoot-out...
And they forced the game into one...
Secondly...
Zinedine Zidane was tricked into committing a outrageous foul...
Materazzi is "guai-lan" I know...
But ZZ was too overwhelmed by his emotions to care less...
He might as well injure Materazzi so that both cannot play...
Stupid...

Now the battle's over...
Trezeguet's gonna get his ass screwed by Domenech...
The storm's still raging here...
And I'm gonna sleep...

M'sia

My impression of the country has never changed...
Really...

And when I first read SiaoWen's email... I din believe
TAXIS DUN GO BY METER ANYMORE...
I'm like... What kind of civilised society is this?
Gosh...
Think I slightly bent towards being racist...
But...
This is not my first time overseas...
I dun feel "this" in Taiwan...
I dun feel "this" in Brunei...
I dun feel "this" in Indonesia...

This feeling, (maybe I'm too sensitive), reminds me that I'm being watched...
Reminds me that I'm in a country that I do not call home...
Reminds me that I must be on high alert at all times...
I think even if I've did my application online I still wouldn't be able to shop with a peaceful mind...

That's my first time to M'sia...
Hope that won't be my last...
Peaceful in peaceful out...
