World Cup 2014

It is already 6.14am in the morning, just minutes after World Cup 2014 beautifully ended with Mario's goal. However I still feel a strong urge to write this post.

YAY!!! GERMANY WON!!!!! Really happy when the goal was scored. I could feel a wave of euphoria overwhelming the entire team and horde of supporters when it was announced Germany won the title of World Cup 2014 Champions. Being the first year I am watching World Cup, it was a sense of ecstasy that I have never felt before. Despite Germany not being my home country, I am genuinely happy to see how their sweat and tears have been generously reciprocated with this championship. To see the supporters triumphantly crying over their country's winning is a heartening scene as it goes to show how much pride they take in this sport. Good job Germany. The tactics, the perseverance and never give up attitude despite the overwhelming fatigue is truly applaudable. Y'all deserve the championship:)

On the other hand, sadness looms the Argentina side. It was a super close fight. To be honest, Argentina put up a strong fight against Germany with its tight defence. Argentina players displayed skilful techniques especially in dodging opponents and dribbling of ball. However luck was not on their side. To see the players who have fought so hard for the entire 123 minutes having a look of despair was a painful sight. It was heart-wrenching to see how the masculine looking players broke down upon hearing their team's loss. This goes to show they really care alot for their country and for their team and I am really glad that they feel this strong urge to win for their team, their country, their people. However, they have put in their heart and soul into the match and I have to say their skills are top-notch. This by itself is already worth more than a title. Good job Argentina:) 

And so, this marks the end of FIFA World Cup 2014, with me jubilant over Germany's championship but at the same time heart-wrenching for Argentina. It was an exciting match that was well-played by both teams:) At 6.28am, I'm finally done writing this post and time to sleep. 

Good night world and good morning world:) 

Fan of Germany here^^ Germany yall have played well in first half. Although the results for first half was disappointing, jiayous for second half! All the best!!!

Regards from sg :D

Although Brazil has lost once again, I'm happy to see them putting in their hearts and souls into the match. Last few minutes with a score of 3-0 where there is evidently no sign of catching up and they still poured in 101% effort into the game. I'm really proud of the players effort and the supporters who take such great pride in their national sport:) I can't say it's a good job but their courage and perseverance skill is definitely worth commending:)

Here's to all the Brazil players and their suporters:) And of course, well done Netherlands who have proven their worth:)

World Cup Fever: Brazil vs Chile

Since it's a Saturday, what better way is there to spend the night other than watching world cup? 

Brazil vs Chile 1:1

Proceeded on to extra time, then penalty. 

Penalty scores, brazil vs chile 3:2

It was a super dramatic game where even up to the last goal they were still tied in scores. Only when the last Chile player lost his penalty kick did the entire Chile team crash on the football field. It was such a sad and depressing scene. I thought Chile played a good game and in the first half, their skills were significantly better than Brazil's. Too bad luck wasn't on their side. I felt super bad for the last guy of Chile who lost the penalty kick. He must have felt super guilty. But then again, GOOD JOB CHILE:)

Shagness overload

2nd last day of internship. All I've been busy with for today were printing notes, figuring out how to use the printing machine and drafting email. 

Tuition for a class mixed with students of different levels and syllables. Expended lots of mental energy and patience. Shagness overload. Thankfully no more tuition for this week and tmr is the last day of work. After which will be the time to crash.

But before that, a cup of avocado yogurt shake with chocolate chips to energize me for tonight's World Cup. So what if I've work tmr? #yolo

World Cup to start a Monday

Woke at 6am specially to watch Ronaldo in action. Disappointed that he didn't make it to the scoresheet once again, but Team Portugal: job well done:) 

And now, a celery-carrot-avocado-orange smoothie to start my Monday:)

Hoping for a great week ahead^^

World Cup 2014: Germany vs Portugal

Germany wins Portugal 4-0
Disappointed that Ronaldo did not get to score a single goal. But I've to agree the strikers from Germany are really good and they have applaudable team spirit. On the other hand, Portugal seems to lack communication and coordination. Chemistry is lacking within the team which could account for the null shots:(

Football is a team sport. Reliance on 1 team player can't score u goals. Trust and teamwork is vital in this strategic dynamic game.
