My 2006 dark horse was Ghana, who reached the second round and could have beaten Brazil if not for the crapiness of Asamoah Gyan as striker. Stupido.

My selected underdog for this tournament is Russia. I really really really like that Andrei Arshavin guy. His style, as a in the hole string puller :D Watching Fabregas play for Arsenal I realized how important that role can be. It's like a pelabuhan where you pass to him, he'll hold it and move around for you to get time to run into a space and he'll return it to you. Brilliant. So yes, he can go far man that dude! I wonder why this former Soviet people always produce good playmakers. There was Alexander Mostovoi of Celta de Vigo last time, then Yegor Titov and Dmitri Loskov in different eras for Spartak. But still. Arshavin!!

When I look at the Dutch fans sitting in their end of the stadium, dressed in full Oranje kit, and singing their national anthem out loud, i just wish that i could be more patriotic. As in i wish there was a way of which this country is run so that i can actually FEEL like oh yes, this is my tanah air and i'm proud of it and all, but no. Sometimes i just can't care less. But then once i heard a few aunties on the train presumably on the way/from Singapore comparing the Lion state with Malaysia. Blah blah blah our tap water here is dirtier than the water there, "ngoh tei ni tou ker yan mmm toung kare" as in our people here are not the same blah blah, over there the education system is much better glug glug glug and you know i actually felt angry that people were talking down our country. As in like sure, we suck in every thing that you compare but whatever pun we have our own strengths and charms (however scarce). Kinda like protecting your old senior friend or your old junky car. Just because she's old and ugly it doesn't mean she's not nice.Weird eh. So if our local government internet watchdoggies is reading this, i'll tell you that there are lotsa young people out there who would love to love this country, just that unlike Arshavin, you're not pulling the right strings man. If you did, imagine how beautiful things could be.

Hmm. I quite like that simple phrase. I'll say that i'm a salesman who believes in my product, but its all very difficult when nobody's buying. Saving their cash. As in if you don't pay for something and legally have it, then you can't derive the benefits that you would have got from it, say an iPod.
"Simpan duit, telinga sunyi"

Lol. (sunyi). Realize how it can be disusun to (suyin)? :P

So anyway laa, it's not like i'm saying anything new, its not like you haven't heard it before, its not like you don't know how.
Spend that money. Get that product. If that thing fails you, chuck it out. Get a refund. Do something. Gently ask for more money from your parents. Then replace that product. Don't let that gap be. For once, don't follow Paul McCartney, DON'TLET IT BE!

Once you have done that, continue listening to Paul. He said this.

"and in the end, the love that you take is equal to the love that you make"

0=0
1=1
2=2
3=3
4=4
5=5

Everything else,
Can wait.
