The WC so far...

"This world cup has turned out like WW2! The French surrendered early, the
USA arrive last min and we are left to fight the bloody Germans !""

Slick gaming monster

My purchase from the PC show. At long last fulfilled my schoolboy's dream of owning a gaming monster with my own pay. Gonna eat peanuts till the next month though. Might as well...maybe grab a bottle of beer, some peanuts and camp in front of my laptop watching the World Cup or fragging some zombies. :)

Espana no!!!!

World Cup has begun. Watched in horror as I saw my favourite team, Spain lose to Switzerland. I'm not exactly a soccer fanatic. In fact I don't really know the names of the various players in the team but the reason why I support Spain this time (supported the Germans in 2006 cos well...their colours were kinda cool and their team jersey sold well last time :p) would probably have to go way back to 2008 when I saw them win in the EuroCup 2008. That was even made significant because I watched them take on their opponents over TV in a hostel at Luxembourg and more importantly, because I WAS in Spain when they lifted the trophy! Was chilling in a small bar in quiet Corduba with YS on a Sunday when it all happened and boy the atmosphere was great! We even got free drinks from the bar owner! Good times good times back then...but now well...not exactly too sure. Like what people always say "the ball is round, anything can happen." We shall see what awaits...

The soccer fans cum owners of the bar we were at...free drinks from them :)

Crazy crazy rain

Did a site visit on Wednesday and of all the days to do a site visit, it had to be the very morning where the skies seemed to have fallen. It did not help matters when the sites involved were drains and canals and all I saw was the ferocity of the rain and stormwater gushing through the waterways. Well...Orchard Road sure had it real bad.....
