char kway teow & england

i went to the famous "hai kee teochew cha kway teow" stall at the margaret drive hawker centre last night. after waiting in the tremendously long queue for 45 minutes before getting my $2.50 plate of noodles and cockles, i discovered the meaning of much-hyped and over-rated. kinda like england and brazil in this world cup...all the fanfare, but not much substance. =|

hmmm...it's an all-european contest now...so who's your bet on? i'm thinking germany vs. france...but then again, now that my favourite team (holland) is out of the competition already, i don't really care who wins...as long as it's not england...but that was settled last night, thanks to wayne rooney's cock up. haha.


cock up


red rooney

but i do feel bad for beckham though...


becks off

injured, substituted, a forlorn figure...he softly cried by himself on the bench...it's quite lonely when you're at the top huh...

even his beautiful wife cried...


posh tears

though i wonder if the tears are for her husband, her country, or the end of her already-prolonged shopping trip...haha.

oh well...you can always come to singapore and try the hai kee teochew char kway teow...you'll definitely like the cockles.

cheers. =)

Yeah, Beckham looked absolutely miserable sitting on the bench alone. Sad day for many, I guess.

rooney was a complete moron... i was glad to see portugal win. ronaldo is awesome...

people hate becks cuz no one likes seeing people getting all the way to the top... they love it when they fall though... what a crappy world we live in...

Good looking men shouldn't cry. It broke my heart seeing Beckham with tears in his eyes.

Ok, did that sound bimbotic or WHAT ?! Grr.

On a separate note, Wayne Rooney is a complete looney. What was he thinking and right in FRONT of the referee?

that was a huge stone on Posh's finger. sorry to all the Beckham/Rooney/Crouch fans, i was pinning for Portugal (i have no favourites) to win, yes, Ronaldo was very much in action. clap. clap.

i would like to see France vs Germany. Zidane vs Ballack. Promise i will not yawn.
