Leaving On A Jet Plane

My bags are almost packed, I'm almost ready to go... to Germany!

And the prospect is immensely tantalising.

Match 1: Germany vs Argentina.
Billed as the final before the Final, I hope the Germans sneak through in a high-scoring game.

Match 2: England vs Portugal
This was THE best match in Euro 2004. Hopefully, history repeats itself.

Rest to follow...

Bring it on!

It's the Final Countdown

In His time.

In 12 days, this blogger will be on a plane bound for Frankfurt.
Mission: to watch the World Cup in the flesh, but led by the Spirit.

But first, let me rave about Church Camp 2006.

One word - fantastic!
The Lord confirmed His call on my life, and reaffirmed me with His promises.
Now, all I have to do is walk with Him, and see His divine plan unfold...

Speaking about timing - I got hauled up by a Malaysian traffic cop yesterday on the way back from church camp for overtaking.

Not a pleasant experience, given that the roadlines were perculiar to Malaysia. I didn't know that meant no overtaking. Paid a RM$50 ''fine" and endured a short lecture on road safety.
Man, I wanted to give him a lesson on integrity!

Sunday Times surprise

It's a tad pai seh to have pictures of yourself plastered on the newspapers, esp on Page 1, when all you've had is a few minutes notice.

I certainly had no clue my tickets story would be so favoured by the Sunday editor that she decided to put my pic on Page 1. And they made me drive home and back just to get the tickets for the last-minute photo shoot.

It was just a random story idea I suggested to my boss over lunch last Thursday, as I wanted to expose those eBay ticket fraudsters.

Well, I've had loads of SMSes today and some MSN conversations as a result of the story.

These range from - "Go find a China study mama", to "Pretty gf not hard to find", to "You're fat!" to "I've a cute colleague who's available. U want?"

Ah, the price of fame.

Note to self: remember to call the printers to purchase the bromite copy of the Page 1 so you can keep it.

Penalty Heartbreak

Scored all three of my penalties, but could not win. My reader missed two.
Sigh.
