4 Days to go

In my opinion, this year's world cup is sure to be an exciting one. Who will win the World Cup this year ? I think it won't be any South American team. If you guys study the history, it's always an alternate winner between Europe and South America.

1970 - Brazil
1974 - W Germany
1978 - Argentina
1982 - italy
1986 - Argentina
1990 - Germany
1994 - Brazil
1998 - France
2002 - Brazil

So, you see the patern and why I said that this year's winner would be an european team ...
My Prediction would be Germany, Italy & Spain. But don't forget to look out for Swtizerland, I think they will go far too.

coupe du monde

dear everyone,

managed to get up n going on this blog after some registering hiccups. sorry i MIA for so long... like the world cup, i only appear once every 4 years~! (just kidding)
guess i must be the only first and only one of our cohort to suffer from a bit of mid-life crisis last couple of months..but now there is the world cup coming up this friday..for a month! hopefully this will sweep away the blues...
so i will be glad to hear a bit from the footie afficonadoes around who do you think will win the world cup? for me I personally will like to see a semifinal line up of italy vs argentina and brazil vs holland (yeap yours truly have worked up the probabilities and this permutation is entirely possible)

(ps: unfortunately i am not the tech savvy sort - dunno how to upload pictures la here. the only think 'savvy' about this author is playing fifa on my xbox ..especially to while away time during the half time of football matches in the god forsaken hours of dawn)

Daniel Yap was thinking whether to get married first then have babies or vice versa...So Sunny advised him the latter!

Congratulations to Patrick Ng and Ravidas

Congratulations Patrick. The article below was taken off his company's website. He would leave for the UK around September and would be there for a year (I hope I got the details right). So no more trudging around muddy and mosquitoes infested estates throughout Malaysia for the moment for Patrick - hope he gets to trudge around somewhere more pleasant in Europe.

He would be flying off sometimes in July, having just recently been certified to be a non-terrorist by the US Embassy. Oh how we would miss his Mind Your Language jokes during wedding dinners.

OK, this definately gives us a good excuse to have a mini reunion before these old chaps fly across the oceans.
