soccer madness ... bleh

If you can't beat em join em. That's what a lot of girls do nowadays.

Yes SOCCER WORLD CUP is here AGAIN! Sian.

Girls I think have given up on trying to tear their guys away from the stupid soccer on TV and decided to share in their "joy".

I even noticed the TREND in books changed!! This morning I heard on the radio people recommending girls to read books about the necessary know-its about soccer, world cup, and the men who are obsessed by it. I remember I few years back it used to be books about how to get your men away from the tube.

HRmmm ... girls decided to go soft?

Sorry loh .. I unable to understand what's so exciting about 22 men chasing after one black and white ball.

I know I used to be one of those 10 people who chase after one ball (basketball). But at least we lesser people. Same logic as when comparing to the number of people needed to change a lightbulb. The more people, the lesser the logic.

I guess my dislike (I won't say hate unless I want to become the enemy of millions worldwide) for soccer stemmed from when I was young and often woken up by my dad's shouts of GOAL!!!! in the middle of the night.

Yes my dad watches, yes he bets, and yes he loves it, with a nice cold can of beer and bag of peanuts.

Tonight is a Saturday night. But like most of my friends are not going to our usual club hangouts ... tonight they will be glued to some TV screen, be it at home on a tiny telly or a big projected screen at some pub area, watching soccer.

Especially tonight loh!!! Got England playing. Sigh.

And hubby is in China ... somewhere ... stupid calling card not working. Calling him straight also not working. CRIES.

But at least I can say I damn heng ... I have a hubby who doesn't watch soccer. PHEW!!!
