An Urge To Splurge

Destination North Shore
Thursday, July 06, 2006

Sincerest apologies to the italian team..boy, did i got it wrong...Cannavaro was a colossal, Matterazzi defended magnificently, Pirlo made that important pass, Grosso with a thumping finish and Buffon was impenetrable. Viva la Azzurri...credit to the Germans as well for thier staunch defense and much thanks to the goalless draw in 90 minutes...it was a beauty!!... So for ITALIA, i put my trust in you to beat the irritating french. Im going all in for the finals for italy to get the job done, so please italy, BEAT THE FRENCH and ill promise:

Never again to mock the italian team.
Have my honeymoon in italy
Give my child an italian name (welcome to the world, Luca Toni Cheah)
Make pasta my favourite food
Start drinking cheap italian booze
Start using hand gestures extensively

Come on Italy!!!.....Go Go Go

Anyway, woke up yesterday to watch Germany take on Italy with friends in Cin Yi house (thats how Bin spells it). We all cuddled into a small area, most of us still half asleep. Some supported Germany cause our good friend, Mr Lum was playing for them. I was completely neutral and wanted nothing more but a goalless draw.

And thats just what i got...wonderful, after the match, left to North Shore for some yum cha. I must admit, North Shore is uncharted territory for me and i must say its quite a beautiful place. We played some 3 on 3 football (so sorry Catz, Thank God its padded) and beach football (boon showed all his football skills). Went to Jason's house after that and watched Prision Break. IM SOLD!!!....this is a bloody good series and it makes me proud to be a structural engineer (shame u mechanicians). I would expect to soon tatoo the layout of Auckland Uni map on my body so if anyone needs to escape from their lectures, feel free to come and approach me.

After 7 episodes, we finally gave in and slept. At about 7am, woke up and watch France vs Portugal with jason, boon and bin. I dont care what they say but i still think henry dived for that penalty....his reactions were clearly "delayed". This provoke furious reactions from the portugese and things got ugly, the portugese started diving everywhere and the game from then on was rubbish. Fact of the matter is this, france is in and its a shame as i thoroughly hate them so its once again back to my fellow italians friends to do the job....Come on Italy!!! GO GO GO

Much man love in the italian contigent (see extreme left)

Another reason why u gotta love the Italians

DESIDERATA

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars
and you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore, be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labours and asipirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham,drudgery and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
