this morning's interview was an eye-opener
there were at least 500 people who turned up for the interview
and no, as expected, i didn't make it past the first round
reason being i was put in a group with many 20plus-year-olds
and they went with those who could start immediately instead of me
cos i said i'm still studying and can only officially join early next year
guess i'll just have to go back after i graduate in February next year
sigh
i knew i should expect this result
but still a tad bit disappointed nonetheless
haha
i actually felt like i was at some Miss Universe audition or something
so many girls!
all shapes and sizes
some tall, some short
some slim, some plump
some really gorgeous and pretty, some really normal looking
some young and some old
and the only thing that made the difference was the number of guys as well
so many
but only a handful are good-looking
and most are actually even shorter than i am
tsk tsk tsk
the standards of SQ nowadays
even my aunt, mum and friends also say that SQ standard of girls getting lower and lower
so sad
maybe i should try the JAL application?
but i dont really like their uniform
i still want the kebaya!
haha
but then again, JAL pays in US dollars... hmmm... good money =D
oh well... better to think about this later on this year...
i seem to be doing pretty well for my French class in school
better than i did for Jap last semester at the very least
but there's this one thing i definitely have to do
i wanna learn Italian and/or Spanish
i love their language
and it'll be of obvious advantage no matter where i go in future with my career
i think i have a knack for languages, just as i do for mathematics
so i wanna do it while i'm still young and not waste time
had a brief encounter with the Italian language when i was working in Brek Ristorante
and i loved it alot
so graceful, sexy and musical
it may seem alot like French, but i can assure you that it's a much more beautiful language than French is.
Spanish, is just really interesting and useful
many countries nowadays speak Spanish
well... i'll just have to make time
oh and before i forget, driving!
way overdue
time to get started
but it'll still have to wait till i start earning my own keep
or else how to pay for lessons?
right?
haha
tonight,
England vs Portugal
England is definitely talented enough to beat the depleted Portuguese squad
but it will ultimately depend on how adventurous Eriksson will be
and knowing him, he'll just be hard-pressed to take the boring way out
a Portuguese side without Costinha and Deco and a not-fully-fit Cristiano Ronaldo, serves to benefit the England team
if only Eriksson knows how to fully utilise the wondefully talented attacking duo of Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard
with Gary Neville back to full match fitness, it will definitely provide the team's right flank with a much-needed boost
no one else can communicate better with Beckham than with his oldest pal
the right flank now needs Beckham to attack freely without a backward glance
and with Gary Neville as a solid backup behind him, he'll have no fear to go forward
in defence, it seems as though a Campbell-Ferdinand partnership will be more effective in cutting out the threats from Ronaldo and Luis Figo
and for goodness sake, if he starts Rooney as the lone striker again, i'll just tear my hair out in despair...
as his coach, he should know very well that this striker of his cannot operate effectively as a lone attacker up front
he needs a partner like Owen... not even Crouch can do as a good a job.
how i wish he took Jermaine DeFoe together with him to Germany instead of untried players like Theo Walcott.
youngster like him should first start with the Euro 2008 tournament before bringing them to the World Cup
sigh
but it's all too late now
guess he'll just have to make do with Crouch
my prediction?
England should be able to win in the very difficult match
3-2 is a very optimistic prediction
but i'd say be prepared for a penalty shootout and england should win marginally
Brazil vs France
hell of an exciting match to be expected
i cannot say who will win
so, this will be the first match that i will refuse to make a prediction
but i'll boldly say that i'm expecting a Germany-Brazil final come 9th July
