Happy Birthday Elsie!

Happy birthday to my friend, Elsie! 30th of June was her 24th birthday! Ops... sorry to have announced it to the world hehe! Well, anyway when you're with her, you won't feel that she's 24 already. She's still the chirpy, funny, always-excited girl, who shrieks at every exciting thing, and laughs loudly at every funny joke, compared to the old, grumpy me. And God I'm even younger than her! Must really get the remedy off her as how to run away from aging! haha! urgh! I have dark under circles already. Maybe I should get extra eye treatment during my next facial visit. :) .... *imagining money flying out the window* :(

Ever since Elsie changed her job and started working in.... somewhere in between Seremban and Nilai, I seldom got the chance to meet up with her. She goes home to somewhere in Shah Alam during the weekends and seldom comes down to KL anymore! :( But anyway, Fei and I went out with her last night, for dinner and chats, but ended up watching football at a mamak. And I watched my 1st football match during this year's World Cup event. :P

Well, you can't exactly blame me, I don't really know about football and what are the skills that involved in this game, other than the skill that players have to act in an agony of pain rolling on the floor when tripped or smacked by another player. hehe... I started off thinking Brazil was either the blue or white shirt team but soon found out that Brazil wasn't even playing in the game. heh... Hmm... Both Elsie and Fei, experts in football, had to explain to me what the game was about during the start of the game. And I'm proud to be able to say now that I know what does 4-4-2 means, how the ball could turn like shaolin soccer, and which angle of the field that when defending team kick the ball out of the field so that opponents don't get to kick from the corner of the field. Hmm... I'm not sure if you get what I'm saying but, its complicated.

Its a great game at a great atmosphere especially when Argentina and Germany had a tie 1-1 during the game and had to proceed to the penalty kicks. Most of the other customers in mamak supported Germany, don't know why, since they weren't really that good actually, while I supported Argentina, don't know why, since they don't really have good looking players. And everyone oohhed and ahhed whenever the player striked a goal or nearly did, which I happily joined in the fun :P

It was during the 1st goal that Argentina made, that suddenly a camera man and a guy holding a mic with rtm logo on it, came by to our table and asked if they could do an interview with us! (We already noticed them going around asking for other interviews but I was silently praying that they wouldn't stop at our table) They interviewed Fei and Elsie seperately, asking them question of why they come to mamak to watch the World Cup, how did they like the atmosphere and the sorts, while I tried to hide my laughters behind! haha! The guy asked Elsie why she came to this mamak for football, and she said her driver (Fei) brought her to it and thus she's there! hahahaha! Omg, that was so hilarious! haha! He wanted to interview me, but I had violently shaked my hands and head to say no and luckily he let me go and went off to prey for another victim. *pheww!*

The interview is going to be on TV at 1pm news today! But none of us would be watching it... since I'm going out with Elsie anyway. Too bad... haha!

As most of you should know by now. Argentine lost the game during the penalty kicks. They missed 2 out of 4 kicks, while Germany sent the ball straight into the goal every time without fail. Too bad for them even though I thought they played quite well during the game. Every one was happy that Germany won, except a guy sitting in front of us who supported Argentina as well, and that Elsie thought he was cute heehe!

Watching football is fun. And I really did enjoy it, but I still wouldn't really switch on the tv just to watch a bunch of guys running around with the ball. I really hope Elsie enjoyed it too! Happy birthday again girl! Muacks! ;)
