At Long Last

Believe it or not, the FIFA World Cup officially ends in about a weeks time. Time really flies by especially with matches going almost non-stop day by day. Sadly, Spain and probably every other team I thought would reach the finals has gone out. For the knowledge of all you out there, I had been sick all this especially on tuesday. Still, I woke up at 3 am to watch the Spain vs France match only to be devastated by the result whereby France won.

Spain was leading at first with David Villa's free kick but I knew they were out when Patrick Viera scored France's second goal. With France's third goal by Zidane, my heart almost felt like stopping for a second .. lol. Yup, that's how sad and devastated I was. Funny feeling. Its just terrible that France was given the penalty kick coz it looks more like Thierry Henry who pushed Puyol. Well, I'm over it by now of course. On Wednesday, I didn't go to school and people actually thought it was because Spain lost and had been eliminated .. haha. Let's just hope Spain's very young team will shine brighter in 2010 at South Africa.

If this wasn't bad enough, the other two teams I had also thought of advancing which are England and Brazil both went out last night. England's under-performing team lost to Portugal in the penalty shootout while Brazil lost to France (repeat of 98 finals). Well, these two teams didn't look like they were doing that well either from the start. I'm now hoping for either a Germany vs Portugal or France vs Germany final match. We'll just watch on till the moment arrives on 9 July !!

While many footie fans will probably be in misery like how I was a few days back, we here in Kuala Lumpur have something to rejoice about. It was announced yesterday that INXS would be having a concert here on August 18 at Stadium Negara according to The Star !! They will still however also perform in Singapore .. damn. So KL-ites, book your tickets early since it'll probably be the only international act left of 2006 for KL. If some do not know INXS is this Australian band which used to be very popular but mellowed down after one of their members committed suicide. They back again after finding their new lead singer, J.D. Fortune from the succesful reality show Rockstar INXS last year.

There will be a similar reality show this year entitled Rockstar Supernova but this time the winner will be the new member of the rock n roll band, Supernova. Its starting on Star World next week and lets hope there will be a Malaysian there since they did have auditions here back in April.
