What's With Guys And Football??!!

Scenario #1

G : Do you know how expensive tomatoes are?
Me : Excuse me?
G : It is 70 rubles (+RM10) per kg! That is why I don't buy them.

Few months later (a day before the Champion's League Final match)

G : Hey, I'm going for the Champion's League Finals
Me : Really? How come? You managed to get a ticket?
G : Yup, I bought it for 200euros.


Scenario #2

K (just back from work) : I am SO tired! And I have to go back to work early tomorrow.
Me : Why don't you go to bed early, then?
K : I can't. I have to watch the final match (also referring to the Champion's League).


Scenario #3

Girls : Hey, let's have a BBQ on Sunday.
Guys : Sure, no prob. We'll start early, at 11am.
Girls (pretty sure that the guys will wake up late, as usual) : OK.

On the day of the BBQ, 10.30am

Guys : Come on girls, let's go. We have to start the BBQ now. We have to be back by 4pm for a football match, Man U is playing.


Scenario #4

Barcelona, a few minutes before the Euro Cup final was about to start

Me : Excuse me, I would like to go online.
D : OK. For how long?
Me : Half an hour.
D : That would be 0.50euros.
Me : Thank you.

Few minutes later...

D : You know what, just use the net for as long as you want to. I am going to watch the football match. (locks up the register and leaves)


Scenario #5

Me : Hi. Do you have classes on Wednesday, 'cos Mom said it's a public holiday.
Rajiv : I 'memang' don't have class on Wednesday, so it makes no difference to me. But then I have to meet my faculty dean for .....(couldn't really understand what he said)
Me : Oh..'cos cousin brother said he has tickets for the Chelsea game on Tuesday...
Rajiv : Then of course I will come back(from JB). No problem. Just tell me what time I need to be there.

(the meeting with the faculty dean is forgotten)

What is it with guys and football? I just don't get it!! It's just a game where 22 guys chase a ball all over a field!

Champion's Fair

I was planning to write about how my day went, but my flu-problem started just now and all I want to do is curl up and sleep. I wonder what caused my flu - is it because I had cold orange juice? Is it because I had to wash clothes with icy cold water? Is it because of the change of weather? Is it because I had ice-cream today? Is it because I didn't take my medicine yesterday? Well, no matter..just hope it will get better soon.

Anyway, today, we went for the champion's fair at the Red Square. No, I am not a football fan, but then since I have the chance to go for it, why not make the most out of it, right? People are paying thousands and thousands of Ringgit to just come for the game, I don't have to spend anything, all I have to do is take the metro to the Red Square!

The fair started on Saturday, and will end on Wednesday. We were there by about 10.15am (it opens at 11am) but the queue for the trophy room was already long. Am not going to write much more, the pictures will do all the talking. I missed quite a few things today because I had to hurry back for a class; hope I'll have a chance to go back there again, although I doubt it.

security check before entering the Red Square

queue for the trophy room

back 'gate'

even after soo many years, I still think the St. Basil's is very beautiful

'door gifts' - bags

the trophy itself!

the things animation/graphics can do..the best part- it's free!

with the Chelsea mascot (didn't see the Man U mascot anywhere though)

anyone can form a team and play a game of futsal

they showed a 30 minute video about football, i think (didn't watch it), in the hemisphere

the merchandise shop

missed this

missed this too :(

After class, my friends and I stopped by in Kvartal to get some groceries. Since Kvartal no longer gives its plastic bags for free, guess what they my friends used..yup, the bag they gave as door gifts.
