Yeah it’s a fine sunday afternoon and I find myself having so much free time that I actually could spent half of the day watching tv and here I am now, at the internet room. Actually they call this place the cybercafe, but other than the computers, there’s nothing like a cafe here so I prefer calling it the internet room.

Euro2004 is on and I actually did watch a few matches together with my friends. Waking up at 2 in the morning just to watch some match between teams I have never known or even cared before. I have never been interested in soccer, all I know the ball has to go into the goal, I know there’s strikers and midfielders and defenders, everyone trying to be hero of the game….soccer is better left for the boys. Not that I don’t enjoy watching it, I do enjoy it very much, but which team wins mean nothing to me therefore I was intrigued by the way my friends reacted when their fave team win or lose. For example, when England lost to Portugal with from penalties, Mint and Qzai supported Portugal just because they dislike the England team while Qad is a die hard fan of England. I supported neither but thought that Portugal deserved to win the game…so Mint and Qzai was screaming happily and unintentionally sneered Qad, a bit too much I guess that Qad shouted in retaliation.

I was like, “wow, cool it guys, it’s just a game.” There, I could not understand their feelings when it comes to soccer. 🙂

The first week had gone pretty well. I realized I do have many friends that whatever bad happened last semester with some of the Singaporeans meant nothing to me now. I’m trying to forgive and forget. Let’s just take in the good things. The bad ones….it’s between them and the Lord…who am I to judge. I prefer to be on good terms with all of them. And I find out the Malaysians are cool too, despite some things people have said. I’m in their country anyway, I just need to be careful that’s all. They are good people and I’m learning from them.

I’m going to love this place, after all.
