Soccer Mania

The World Cup is here again! It's been a gruelling 4 yrs wait for this event. Haha... And Singapore has yet to qualify, as expected. Not that I'm not supportive of the local soccer scene but I don't think they'll even come close to it in the next decade or 2. The quality and mentaliy just isn't there yet. Maybe I'm being too critical, i dunno. :)

I've missed one game so far and that's the Poland vs Ecuador game which Ecuador won by 2-0. The opening game was gd, with host Germany winning the game 4-2, which is by far the most goals scored in any World Cup opening game I've encountered. Yesterday and this early morning, I've caught a total of 3 games. Only the England match was a drab. The other 2 matches were gd, lots of end-to-end stuff. Pretty soccer at times. That should be the way, as Pele had put it, soccer is a beautiful game. :)

My gal is off to Redang for the wkend, and so I'm all alone in Singapore, with late nite soccer as my companion. Sigh... Just kidding. Haha... Anyway, it's her birthday this wkend, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! CHEERS!!! Hope she's having a real great time there with her friends! :D

Went to the gym yesterday and found myself wanting. Headed for the free-weights section with Kel and Bryan (Kel's colleague), and did the inclined chest press. Wasn't able to lift as much as I'd like and so was kinda disappointed. Sigh... Think I have to work more on that. Well, the only motivation I've had was from my sister. Went to her place to troubleshoot her PC and she asked if I've been working out, cos my arms seemed to be bigger. Haha... :D Hopefully, I'm on the right track and in time to meet my expectation by Oct. :) My weight as of now is still the same and have yet to increase, but I guess it'll take some time. I'm hopeful that as long as I maintain my regime now, it'll happen.

Till the next blog and hopefully by then I'd have gained some kgs. Haha... Cheers!
