halftime analysis | hairlocks crisis

spain continues to disappoint. shd have known better than to place my hopes on them. you’d think they’d thrash france judging by the way they’d performed in the opening rounds. but no….they preferred to be consistent instead. consistent in underperforming at the world cup. urrgghh

ghana was my one romantic hope of a david-trouncing-the-goliath match. but it was never to be. yes they played fast balls, their passes were great, but they simply couldn’t convert their chances. it was frustrating seeing the final scoreline. 3-0? was brazil playing brilliantly to deserve that scoreline? i thought not. but i hv this sinking feeling that they’re gonna be lifting the cup come july 9th, even wif all their mediocrity. luck’s always been on their side..no?

it’s half-time now at the world cup. 2 days break away from matches (and kayu referees) galore. which is so sorely needed now that i have a sore throat, itchy cough and running nose wif frequent bouts of sneezing to attend to.

here are the contenders for the coveted right to add a star on their national jerseys…
germany, argentina
italy, ukraine
england, portugal
brazil, france

the usual suspects, apart from ukraine.

i think the winner of the germany-argentina match will go to the finals, cos i don’t see them losing to either italy or ukraine. so that half is pretty easy to figure out.

the other half’s trickier. granted all those ppl on the bandwagon will be rooting for brazil to not only be in the final, but to win the cup no less. remember that stupid ad on starhub where they interviewed sporeans on the streets and EVERY ONE of them said its gonna be brazil??? plsss man where do they get these people???

but i digress. even if brazil were to beat france, they’re gonna face a hard time facing portugal. which brings me to the portugal-england match. as much as i ‘love’ england, i just cant imagine them beating portugal. unless of cos they suddenly decide to rise up to the occasion and play their best, in which case they WILL beat portugal. and if they could beat portugal then they could beat brazil man.

like i said, the other half is iffy. i’m willing to bet (on my fallen locks) though that france will DEFINITELY not be in the finals.

speaking of my fallen locks, been receiving comments from people that i look 10 years younger. me..19? heeee. spider remarked that it’s as if he’s dating his own student. hahh.

but i’m facing a big wurly of a problem. thing is, when my locks were shorn, they blowdried my hair see. so it was all nice and in shape. i shampooed my hair this morning, and now my hair’s in a frightful mess! and when i say frightful i mean frightful medusa goondu-like-jc-days frightful. it’s horrifying!

i’m still glad i did it tho. it’s liberating. and i feel like a new me. and like a few minahs have told me…cutting yr hair is akin to ‘buang suay’. hahhha. i’ll have to start playing around wif my hair dryer at home tho. the very hair dryer whose only function so far was to dry my bro’s art works back when he was in school. you’re gonna be my new best fren dryer!
