ITALIA: 2006 World cup Champions
the world cup has finally ended after 4 weeks and 64 matches. it has been the most memorable world cup in my life. i started watching the world cup in 1994, when brazil lifted their fourth title after winning a penalty shootout in which roberto baggio of italy missed. i supposed i was too young then to really remember the details of 94 and 98. i missed much of the last world cup in 2002 due to army commitments and i dont even remember who brazil won in the final as i didnt watch it. im lucky this time round, as my holidays happened to be in june which is not usually the case. i managed to catch every single match of this world cup, sans a couple of matches. and it is also the 1st time i caught the final outside, along with a few hundreds soccer fans. it has been an exciting and interesting experience, even though i still begrudge starhub for making me pay extra when i subscribed to the sports group a year ago just to watch the world cup. withdrawal symptoms of no world cup has already kicked in and i will do myself a lot of good to adjust back before the sch term got into full swing. not that its easy to do when i have a couple of dvds to watch and a new korean serial starring Rain(!) and lee dong gun.
watched eight below on dvd over the weekend. its a really nice touching show. the dogs are so intelligent, brave and cute. a definite tear jerker.
why do a man like me cry when i watch movies and dramas? coz when i watch these shows, i really open myself to the emotions of the characters and feel them. in fact i like to cry when watching these kinda shows as i know when the show is over, everything is back to reality, whereby i have to go back to the man the society perceives to be.
it pains me to see u like this...
