Don't want you back!

Sigh~ Late late goals from France drubbed England aside in the 2-1 game that broke the hearts of the Lions. In case you haven't read about it (I highly doubt), here are the highlights. * 38th minute SUPERB header by Lampard from a David Beckham freekick. Eng 1 - Fra 0 * 60 something minute. Silvestre brings down Rooney. Beckham steps up, Barthez (Fra) saves. Should have been 2-0, but score stays 1-0 * 90th minute - Free kick to France. Zidane steps up... the defencive "wall" did its best. James was stoned. 1-1 Ole Zizou! * 93rd minute - Unfortunate error by Gerrard... backpassed to goallie, without seeing Henry behind him. Henry intercepted, and brought down by James. Penalty for France. Zizou stepped up. *thud*......... GOAL! England 1 - France 2. Brooklyn / Romeo Beckham cried.... so did many of the England supporters around the world, in their hearts. These kinda things make you wanna kill yourself. But ah well, that's football. Last weekend was uneventful... The church youth wanted to do a skit and a couple of dances. The practises over Saturday and Sunday were pathetic, to say the least. Heh... lack of organisation and discipline. See if we can bring it up this Saturday nite (hope so...) Parents Day will be this Sunday, at church. This morning, the KDU IT Fair kicked off. We've got industry players visiting our college (the likes of Oracle and various Penang IT companies). They've got customers such as Dell Taiwan, China and everywhere. The semiconductor lecture today lasted from 9:30-10:30am only, then, we went to the Lecture Hall to listen to this guy, an ex-KDU student.... It was an interesting keynote, with a heck of a lot of videos to show us how the industry works in general. We saw Supercomputers (Apple VA tech with 1100 Computers at 2200 processors with 10Gbit communication fabric from Infiniband), how Microsoft works (how bugs are detected and swashed), how his company worked... very cool robotics and manufacturing systems. Just wonderful. I felt abit sleepy tho :P Tonight I'll be watching the Netherlands play Germany. Wanna see Ruud the man scoring. Sad to see that Scholes and Butt and Gary received knocks in Euro 2004 so soon into it... I think Butt ain't gonna recover in time :( and Scholes' role in left midfield ain't as effective as behind the strikers. Oh well.. Sven, you gotta choose! Last few days, the guys at college have been going crazy over the Eamon - Don't Want you Back song. It kinda reminds oneself of the harsh reality... most of the times in a relationship, its the girl who initiates the break up.. Ultimately, she gets to brag "I just dumped this so & so.. Now, this guy is singing to the girl, hence ... creating the "I fire the boss scenario" instead of the boss firing you! Tomorrow, Maths class is in the afternoon, so that's good (can wake up uber late). Go Holland! Oh, and thanks to an online friend (who apparently studies in the same college and share the same interest and knows the same bunch of guys I interact with)... She got me this self-cut CD which includes: United Live: More than Life, To The Ends of the Earth, King of Majesty, My Best Friend Planet Shakers: Rain down, My king, Open up the Gates, Reflector, Phenomena Altered Frequency. 1337 |-|4x0r I always had something in mind, and when wanting to write it to the blog, it sorta disappears. Which reminds me of the guy who came to talk today, saying that "If you have a great idea, immediately stop whatever you're doing (including pang sai). Write it down on a piece of paper (in my case, the Palm handheld :P ) and continue what you're doing". Great ideas come and go very quickly. Wishing you all the best! Its good to hear from Adeline & Jerica (ye old classmates back in 2003!) If you're reading this, Pip wants to make contact with you! Mail me at pip@piptech.org or piptech@gmail.com. Thanks for visiting!
