ITS BACK!

After 4 years, it is finally back:) The best sporting spectacle ever!

My first memory of the World Cup was back in 1986 at my uncle's place in Machang, Kalantan. I still remember being mesmerized by the game (i was 7 then) and in particular by this short stout player - who would go on to be the best player the world has ever known) and immediately after that took an interest in the game.

Football was not the most popular sport with fellow chinese friend at that time - they were more into basketball and badminton then, and back in primary school i remember always having to play with just a few friends who would not mind having a kickabout with me.

But it was really during Form 1 that i played it seriously. I played mostly with malay schoolmates and was not until Form 4 / 5 when i manage to gather my mates (riding on the euro 96 fever to play regularly. Life has never been the same since and i still play with some of my mates every sunday - surviving members like Edmund, Ang, Wen Feng, Hang Wu....wow time flies...we've been playing for 13 years mate!!

Anyway because of my love of the game, I was naturally hooked on the tournaments etc. And it never gets bigger than the World Cup.

Sad, but i have only managed to catch 3 games so far..... cos i was away over the weekend for a gig at Awana Kijal (which i will write about later) so yah i even missed the Argie's first game. Hope will get to catch more games soon.

And dang - just got word that Lam will be flying off to South Africa to catch the Algeria v England match!!!! argh! im so jealous! Still remember talking about planning a trip to south africa this year for the games but as usual nothing materialised...sigh.... time to REALLY plan for Brazil in 4 years time!


Ok, gonna doze off soon. Waking up for the Aus v Germany game. Wohoo!!! Am going for a German win in this game! Go Podolski!

And if you are wondering who my favourite to win the title is....tada!
