After watching the Russia vs Netherlands match, I can say that Russia play the best football in Euro 2008. Netherlands seemed good with their lightning speed attacking football in the group games, but today the Russians are clearly the better side technically and tactically. Whenever they attack, the players will seem to find the best spot to support the holder. Each Russian player can dribble, pass and shoot well and it's this ability in each of them that makes their possession play so much better to the Dutch.
And the winning Russian coach has to be a Dutch ironically. And the style his team play makes one hesitate and think whether the ones wearing white are actually Dutch players (although it's quite obvious the ones wearing orange are).
Initially, I was quite glad Netherlands managed to get a goal back in normal time (because of a bet with my fren that Netherlands would win), but as I watched the extra time, I became convinced that Russia should be in the semi-finals. I started to love their football. So Russia all the way please go to the finals!
After this Euro, no teams would want to be tops in the group games(Portugal, Croatia and Holland all went out). An Italy win might be the last match to confirm this daunting fact.

Did I tell anyone I'm in a 10 day reservist?? Wow it's quite a breather from work and although I know the work will definitely pile up when I return, then be it. It is quite nice to meet my old friends in camp and catch back some memories. As usual time wasting should substitute the logo in our unit, but we just have to accept it.
So today, I struck $200 with a hell lot of sweat. Wasn't feeling very good these few days due to running nose, and got a knock on the arm while playing games, so did not expect myself to get away with silver for this work year. My legs were already wobbly right from the start of the 2.4 km run, thanks to the sit-up retake due to a lot of no counts. See how computerized systems make you 'sweat'. Sweat bigtime when it malfunctions. Nevertheless, I was able to clock 11.00min for the run.
Yesterday woke up to watch the fierce match between Germany and Portugal. Really wonderful play by both teams, but some mistakes from Portugal really cost them the game. I don't know why this Euro I'm supporting Germany more than Netherlands (used to be my fav team), it might be that I have started to be practical and love to watch teams who lack the flamboyant skills but attack with a self-belief that can't be matched on their day. That has to be Germany. Yes, of course I would hope classic teams like Spain and Netherlands win something after attracting even the neutrals with their play, I got a feeling it might be down to the boring experienced Germany vs Italy. And how much Italy's soccer sucks to me, they always seem to be the unspectacularly blessed team.
Actually soccer matches have really taken up a portion of my life. Some ladies despise the stupid idea of spouses losing their sleep to watch 22 people running around the field with one ball. Some gamblers laugh at fanatics who don't even bet and lose their sleep. But they can never understand how soccer can inspire people's life, and I don't mind exchanging some of my life for inspiration.
Hmm.. anyone free to kick at teck whye block 8 on weekends morning?

照亮这城市的阳光
在地平线远方
让夜不再漫长
受伤它是什么形状
被埋藏在何方
让痛化为了想象

爱如果一切重来
爱如果失去了伤害

再重来
会有什么精彩
还有什么值得期待
已过去的未来
再重来
难道不会失败
若失去跌倒的痛快
前进的方向还存不存在

Guys, sorry long time never blog. no, no, i'm not sick of blogging.. it's just that I wanna remind silent for a while, at least for the victims of the recent disasters. It's just that it felt a bit out of place to be seeing different people from different areas struggling, and here I wasthinking of what kind of ice-cream to eat to curb the afternoon heat. Well, the only deed we could sow over here is call the infamous 1900-number. Hope everything will be back im place.

These days when I go to work, I will see an man in his 50s, with his hands gripping hold of his wife's tight. The wife seemed to be mentally unstable. Last time when we took the lift together, she would look disturbed and would hid behind his husband. The husband would sometimes reassured her to calm her down.

I often see him bringing her down for strolls, and he always would hold her hand, and talked to her patiently. And indeed she appeared healthier nowadays and could even talk to the husband, although I could only hear muttering. Then I was thinking to myself, some people just amaze me. I could see in his eyes, he only wished to take care of her for life. Really he wouldn't mind, coz you could usually notice the impatience in someone when help is rendered unwillingly.

Suddenly, I have a thought. If we know that our partner would have some problems and would need to take care of her/him this way, maybe not now but in the future, would we step into it in the first place? It's easy to say yes, but it's difficult not to have that bit of grumbliing later on, or rather regrets. But I definitely do not see it in him.
