The beautiful game...
Its the time again where the world unites on a distant land, a time when titans clash to achieve their dreams of being crown the best team in the world. it only comes to this earth once every four years, no its not an alien invasion nor the Olympics, its the long awaited "fifa world cup 2006".
i have to admit that i'm not a hardcore soccer fan, i don't even watch any soccer at all prior to the world cup. i'm one who would laugh at those who lose sleep just to watch a club match. i have no idea why its call "the beautiful game", i mean aren't gymnastic or synchronize swimming a lot more beautiful? well maybe they aren't games to begin with. anyway, when world cup fever hits, i am a convert. i become one of your typical soccer fan. maybe its because the world cup comes only once every 4 years or maybe i just like to watch countries instead of clubs playing. hence why i'm blogging at this time, i'm waiting for the next match to start at 3am.
The world cup has played a significant part in my life. no it has not imbue me with the mentality that i can get rich by playing soccer. but rather its a time when i can sit down with my dad and sometimes my sis to just watch a game of soccer. for as long as i can remember, i've been doing that since the world cup in 1994. i guess to me the game is beautiful in that it brings people together, to stand united in one voice to cheer for their favourite country, where families can sit down and watch a game together. whenever i'm with my dad watching soccer, i feel a special bond between father and son. we let our hair down and just scream our lungs out. hey how many of you can say that u stay up the whole night watching tv with your dad?
alright enough about the world cup. what about me? hmmm.... i guess i'm pretty alright. life in army just got better with the arrival of my platoon medics, now i don't have to do all the covers myself. which means i can sleep in the afternoon, splendid timing since i'll be awake the whole night watching the world cup. yikes look at the time! its 3 am, i'll end my entry for now. maybe i'll post a more in depth of what i'm up to in my next entry. ciao!
