Euro2008 Final: Germany vs Spain (0-1)

Me & my group of friends were at a geylang coffee shop this morning (2:45am) to catch the Euro finals. Yes, Spain won 1-0 after 44 years in their country history? well, they deserved it manz...looking at how well they fought, i also felt happy for them even though i am not a avid soccer fan.

3 riot trucks were standing by along the coffee shop earlier, wah...scared there will be a riot if any team loses?? hahaha

silent "Mob" Today

Yes, on a sunday i was "mob" and imprisoned at a ulu tuas camp from morning till 4pm.
There goes good value bonding time with my family. Was actually planning to bring general XMM to STCC (last day) for inspection...but never expect a mob on sunday?!!

When i check-in, there were a lot of discussion and strategic planning on how to clean the floor...result using our shoes...the walking around aimlessly cleaned the dusty-black floor...what a good sunday~~bye bye STCC~~hopefully see you next year~~

PS3 > Dragonball Z BurstLimit

Thanks to US recent craze about Dragonball, we fans of DB gets to play this new game.
Except that the US version actually voice-over the entire gameplay (in fact i prefer Eng subtitle with original Jap voice) else the new game engine and story mode rocks~!! You actually felt you are into the story. I highly recommends for DBZ fans.
