had a very enjoyable night today
met Mitch for dinner at suntec's Marche
said he wanted to treat me to a birthday dinner
so met him at 7.30 and we ate till 10.30
well
not really ate till 10.30
more like chatted till then cos we had our table cleared out even before 9 plus
then we realised that they were closing pretty soon so we left
drove to serangoon gardens to eat dessert
went to this realy nice a cosy ice cream place
and i ate a large waffle all by myself
yum yum
haha
chatted till about 1 am
and only realised the time when the girl came and told us they were closing
only on the car going home, did i realise that i just missed the 1st half of the England-T&T match
horrors!
just prayed that i didnt missed any goals
and as luck may have it,
England was having a tough time before i got home
was barely the 49th minute when i started watching
0-0
all i knew was that Lampard was working really hard, but not getting the results he deserved
Crouch was too lazy a player, who expected to be fed with the ball... never really made the effort to go to the ball. you know how when i used to play netball in SCGS, Mich would always scream at us to run for the ball and not wait for it to drop from the sky? yeah. it's the same thing.
J.Cole was like a mad bull, running about with the ball. going nowhere and getting nothing accomplished
Owen? well, look at ronaldo now and you might see what i mean when he's just a sad shadow of himself
A.Cole...spent too much time running up the flanks unnecessarily... tiring himself out and just barely covering his ass in the left defence. he has to thank Rio Ferdinand for that man.
Robinson was just too bored most of the time and that made him venture out more often thatn he was supposed to just to get a piece of the action pie
and finally, England got what they should have gotten earlier... the first goal...
peter crouch scored from a beauty of a cross from the deadball maestro of the world, Beckham
the second goal...
Gerrard added the 2nd after receiving a well-measured pass from (who else?) David Beckham.
So. WHo still wants to insist that Beckham is a pathetic player? He who single-handedly created all of England's 3 goals in the World cup finals so far?
one has to be fair to this guy...
he has matured stupendously since the previous world cup
as a captain, he no longer vies for attention and recognition with his teammates
in fact, it seems as though he has taken on the role of helping the younger ones
by giving them the passes, giving them the opportunities to launch attacks, and giving them endless encouragements when needed...
he just truly happy to see his teammates score for his country...
and i admire that in him now...
okay. i've ranted on long enough about soccer.
back to my original purpose
the last time i met mitch was like.... more than a year ago
and it felt good catching up
reminded me that i still had friends like him i should take time out to treasure and build a solid friendship with
before, i didnt dare to develop my friendship with these wonderful friends i have for fear to incurring the wrath and jealousy of certain people
but from now on, i'm not gonna let that deter me.
one year of not seeing each other, more than 8 mths of not chatting on the phone even, it's a surprise we chatted like we never missed a beat.
i enjoyed it...
thank you my dear friend...
hope to see ya soon again!
=)
hmm...
quite a messy entry
but what the heck...
i'm sleepy...
and hoping that paraguay can wake up at kill off the Swedes for England.
with 2 wins and 6 points in the bag, it more or less a guarantee of a spot in the round of 16.
but i'm lazy to watch the match
good night, world
i love you all
