Safely tucked at home

"Apa berita terbaru kat sini? Pasal Erra-Yusry tu, lagi?"

"Aaa pasal Mawi tu tahu??"

"Tahu2."

"Siti Nordiana dah kawin... Syura pun!"

"Anne Ngasri pun!"

"Ade show "One in A MIllion" tu, adik Siti masuk, dia tu... *not suitable listening for Siti's fans*..."

Alright, I'm definitely back in Malaysia =)

The writing mood's not there, probably mightily supplanted by the eating mood. Can't wait for the kenduri tomorrow!

On a different note, I managed to watch all the quarter-final games and the first semi-final (was on the plane for the second but didn't care much as Brazil was not playing. heh.). What can I say? France made a real comeback in the later rounds, and especially in the quarters. Well. Actually Zidane made a real comeback. A super-duper brilliant comeback. And they deserved that game. Only the fact that the game was against my most favourite team in the world thus... go Italy! Beat those nasty squirts!

And poor Argentina. As much as I am fond of Germany, Argentina didn't deserve to lose. Boo to Pekerman for not putting in Messi. The replacement of the 'keeper undoubtedly affected the whole outcome too. Uhuh. Better luck next time, guys.

As for the first semi, I think Italy did well to get through. Two brilliant goals for a riveting match! Although I could understand Klinsmann's frustration for the late goals as he must have been fervently praying for a penalty shootout. Another unexpected twist of fate, it seems. But well, it's just a game. And let's hope France doesn't win the Cup. Hehe.

Anonymous: Yes, actually these news of importance are the kind that we sought for and were in tuned to when we were abroad- that's why when we got home, it's time for the 'refreshing' remeh-temeh gossips provided by the adolescence ;p

I'll be rooting for Italy of course, but I don't think I'll get heartbroken if France wins :)

Salaam..
Well, I watched the final game. Such a sad exit for France, with Zidane opting for a premature way to end his international career.. I feel very sorry for the fella.. but still, that butthead was just funny! I heard many versions of the story about what Matarazzi said to Zidane.. some said he dissed Zidane's mom, and another said that Matarazzi accused Zidane as a terrorist (since he's a Muslim). No idea what's true, though.

Congrats to Italy for winning the World Cup and for getting the penalty right this time.... even though France sort of dominated the game 2nd half onwards...

I feel sorry for Zidane too.. he's such a great player. As for the speculations surrounding the incident, I'll just sit back n watch as the truth unravels (if it ever will) ;)

I think the 1st half was led by Italy (kudos to the brilliant Pirlo); the 2nd half was a bit balanced with France more on the offensive, though towards the end France did get a grip (tho not that firm) on the game. The extra time belonged to them tho, mainly thanks to good ol' zizou.

I feel sorry for Zidane, tho not for France! ;p
