Germany vs Portugal

Was about to happily go home from Boon Lay to Pasir Ris, when Eddie Cai called me. Changed my going-home plans drastically to meet the Treetop Community LAN session plan. Went to Speedy as usual, to try to accumulate points for a free drink.


Played with the unintelligent AI while waiting for Ginway's friends. Played DoTA (as usual) and Battlefield 2. Was seriously not amused by Alvin Ong's antics of trapping me with trees and running away, happily allowing 5 enemy heroes to surround me. Stress built up over the week from stupid warrant officers was unleashed during the match itself. During the heat of the moment, I lost my cool.


Ginway had NDP parade full rehearsal the next day. As he happily remarked, it would be one of the few times that he get to go home after 2 months. Life of an officer sucks. (only if people keep on piling work on you). With higher rank comes greater responsibility.


At night the following day, I went over to Dingjie's house for a stayover, together with Lu Hsien and Yonghe. Watched Germany trounced Portugal 3-0, though I highly suspect that the clandestine meeting between Scholari and Jurgen(just before 2nd half) had a part to play. It might have went ----


Jurgen: "Hey scholari, let my team get 3rd place lar. In front of so many Germans, cannot lose face leh.
Scholari: "Ok lor, since my team is in this shitty match and not the finals, might as well do u all a favour. And if Ronaldo score, Germans will be the latest addition to the ppl that hate him."

And so, Germans pummelled 3 goals after the 2nd half. One from own player. (do I smell a fish here?) . In fact, Jens was seen thanking Ricardo after the match.


Jurgen:"Thanks ah, for pretending to save our goals."
Ricardo:"No prob, just show me the money later..."
