Spain vs. Italy
Effing boring match. Not something I went to my cousins' house to watch in high-definition for. Referring to the...Spain vs. Italy match.
F lah, dang boring. The playing style was very conservative, BY BOTH. Spain gained majority of the possession, and my cousin commented that '50% of Spain's possession was played by defenders.'
Astute observations, and I fell asleep on several occasions.
The match was too slow, no action, damn boring. If you missed it, you won't regret it anyway. There's nothing to lose in not watching that match. Urgh.
See? 0-0, can only be settled by penalty kick. I gave up watching after 90minutes. Too sleepy, can't be bothered to watch extra time as they seem to be playing only for a draw. And watching penalty kicks isn't useful, luck plays a major role in PKs. I'm glad I didn't watch on, that's all. Rather much of a waste of time.
Many people are whining about the fact that school started, because they hate school, find school boring, don't want to do work, owe too much work, blah blah. I have a few-step-to-injoying-school for people who feel that school sucks out the fun out of people:
1) Do crazy things. Look at me, you're reading the blog of someone who does stupid and/or crazy things. And I love school, because...I don't know. There are loadsa stuff to do in school. It's not as if I love studying, but because I love to make noise. You can't make noise to yourself. OK you can, if you go to 'Hougang chalet'. Then you can wear your strait jacket and move around/not.
PAUSE: Now the giant spiders aren't attacking me automatically. Sian. Have to click.
2) Uh. Make craziness part of your life. The moment you slap your thighs and fake laughs is the moment you turn truly deranged. I've crossed that milestone, and look at me now--flawless. And injoying school. Learn to, too.
3) Play Runescape. It's fun. No link, but it's fun. Especially when you realize you can hit 19 with a Rune Berserker Shield 0. Meaning that it doesn't have any charges. Yes, 19 with Rune Scimitar. Another milestone reached.
OK that concludes my steps to injoying school. I don't have much to blog about. Not that I have much content normally. Oh wait...
Peeps, how's school?
YES the spiders are on auto-attack mode again, woohoo!
OK I think I shall stop here. I'm at peace with the world currently. OK maybe except for Spain and Italy. Oh ya. Actually I didn't miss any matches? Did I? I liked Russia vs. Netherlands though, a rather fast-paced, non-boring game. By the way, don't be a dork by referring to Netherlands as Holland. As Edward said, Holland is just one of the many provinces of Netherlands.
Realized that there are many spacings? That's because I really am at peace with the world. Oh yea, ever noticed how the faces of the angmohs turn red during a soccer match? It's almost as if their shunt vessels...constricted(?). Oh wait, maybe it's because they are. Che. Their faces cam blend into the colour of their jerseys, and that says a lot when you refer to the Spain jersey. See the resemblance between the 2 colours? It's beyond blusher effect, and it says a lot since it's a human reaction. Scary thought, no?
Oh yea, if you watched the Russia vs. Netherlands match, into the extra time, you'd realize that the Dutch goalkeeper has nice legs. OK I forgot his name, Van der Sar or something. Anyway, the first/second goal in the extra time sped past his open legs, and he kiapped his legs almost immediately after the ball hurtled past him. My sis and I watched in awe at his reflexes. Wonder how did he train that. Really, dang good goalkeeper. Hilarious action.
Oh yea, and one of the Russians who scored during the extra time got taupoked. When they filmed(is there a better word? Shoot?) his face, he had a look of shock and extreme discomfort. I'm guessing the weight of an entire football team isn't something a person can tank without that face.
One more thing that riled me when watching via sopcast--Chinese commentators. There's this channel, GD sports. They have the HK version and the China version. In the HK version, they speak Cantonese, something my sis and I don't understand. So we blur and just watch.
In the China version, you have to put up with commentators who can't resist shouting into the microphone, at a lagged pace. It's amusing, but true. Heh, that sounds like me. I'm amusing, and true. No link.
Oh yea, I had a dream. A vision, something which was totally destroyed by the Spain vs. Italy match. I dreamt that Spain would win Italy 3-1. I went ahead of myself and betted $5 on that results and total score. I ended up losing $10.
I hate football. And gambling. I could've won...$310.50 in total if my vision came true, but no. I ended up losing $330.50, because:
1) I lost my $10 I staked.
2) Money not earnt = money lost.
Urgh.
