italy won e world cup!! yay!
france had put up a good fight, they practically dominated e 2nd half and e extra time. but italy managed to hold on until penalties. me and my sis were laughing at barthez, we thought he wouldn be able to make any saves at e penalty shootout. indeed. haha. hes too short compared to buffon. e italian defence was formidable. cool.
and not to mention e italian captain, cannavaro. hes cool, way too cool.
france could have made a comeback. if not for zidane's dismissal. i dun understand how he could leave his team hanging like that.. apparently he hit his head against that what's-his-name's chest aft that guy tried to block him.. e refs didn notice that until e italians made a big hoo-ha. i saw buffon gg up to one of e officials to complain, and reprimanding him, as if saying 'dun yoo have eyes to see??' haha. so zidane was sent off. of cos he couldn take e penalty. henry too cos he was substituted. and trezeguet missed e penalty shot, e ball hit e crossbar, den onto e ground but didn cross e line. so france lost to italy 3-5. hai.
nonetheless, it was an exciting match. im happy that italy won too! though it shouldve been brazil in e finals. im sure brazil's gonna make a comeback. yep. im sure of it.
youthlink in e straits times today talked abt university admissions for our batch. i didn feel nervous or anything prior to reading e section. but apparently some students are worried abt not fitting in and adapting well to e culture. and of cos making new frens. now im getting a bit worried too. haha. i definitely dun wan to be outcasted. maintaining self discipline is vv impt, esp those staying at hostel. if yoore e kind that loves party and hang out w frens til late at nite, u better haf some self control. home's still e best for me. =)
im fretting over whether i should apply for concession for mrt/bus/both. i feel like taking mrt to go to sch instead of bus (i prefer e convenience). of cos there are buses to smu fr my home, like 133 and 147. but inclusive of e waiting time e entire journey could take 45 mins. its not long compared to gg to vj or work in e past. but its just.. haha. im lazy la can. but e mrt concession only entitles me to 4 rides per day. why isnt it unlimited har.. im so thankful i live jus next to sgoon mrt.
