been sneezing since the whole day yesterday when denise, derrick, darian went to Featherdale and Blue Mountains for a tour. The weather was like a freezing and no matter how many layers we wore, it never seems to be enough.

tried to watch as many matches for the World Cup as possible. but I just couldnt. I just couldnt have that much energy after only the first night. Guess I will have to choose from 1 out of 2 matches from the 12 midnight and 4.30am games.

goals are not easy to come by so far. I guess because the techicality of the game is so high at the moment that is it not easy to break down the opponent's defence, until last night game where the Aussies conceded 4 goals and a red card to Germany.

England is a disappointment, not able to fire as much with Rooney. Few surprises with Korea and South Africa all performing well. Argentina were impressive although it didnt show in the number of goals scored.

Crowds are not as enthusiastic as they were in the past world cup. Stadiums are not full. Maybe we'll wait till tonight to see the Netherlands take on the Danish with the stadium fill with the Orange Army.

Tipping gone pretty well if I go with small bets. Correct bets were Korea, Ghana and Argentina. Yes, Denise got one too with Korea to win for first half. Bets were group A did not go too well.

today's the queen's birthday, lucky for me, got an extra day to revitalise before going back to a full team tomorrow.

Happy Monthsary to Us on 12th June Saturday! our 101 months together!!
