Rooney and the Magic Kick :D

Oh, man... WHAT an AWESOME overhead kick that D:
And Fernando Torres thought he had moved to a big club... 
I think I might die of laughter.
GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED <3

The End of the World Cup 2010

Spain have beaten Holland. 1-0. I am not happy. But I am not angry. I just have to accept the reality. It is comforting to know that Germany lost to Spain, for some reason. It makes me feel like Germany are the second best team in the world. Mind, Germany are a very young team and they had to put together a new team when two of their goalkeepers died suddenly and captain Michael Ballack got injured. It has been an incredible season, I admit. But all things must end to allow new things begin. In this case, distractions end. No Facebook, no computer games, no books, no TV. And studying begins. Revision books by the dozen and work books are literally strewn all over my room...

Congratulations to Thomas Muller for being awarded Hyundai Young World Cup Player. And the German team too will receive top honors when they return home, as coach Joachim Loew will too. I cannot make myself feel happy and enthusiastic, when nothing but gloom is in sight in my near future. Swirling gray clouds veil a mystery which may not be pleasant to uncover... I am beginning too think like Shakespear...

The World Cup and I...

People sometimes tell me, "Hey, kid. Your a girl, football isn't for you. And also, even if you like it, don't go crazy over it, it's just a game." I admit that I kind of agree. I get really worked up about these things. But I really like football because it brings people together. Yeah, cheesy, I know you're thinking, but that is really how I feel. One of the only times I can remember doing things as a whole family besides dinner (that doesn't count because I can remember more silent dinners than noisy ones) was one of the World Cup 2002 matches. It was held in South Korea and Japan, so we could watch it. I can't remember what match it was, but it wasn't the Australia- Germany match which ultimately started my campaign for the eagles (my dad was supporting Australia, so, rebellious even than, I chose Germany and stuck to it from than on. Germany won, by the way. I can still remember yelling 'EAGLES, KILL THE KANGAROOS!!!' and my dad repremending me for such foul language) (Germany's national animal is the Eagle, by the way) Being a man, disloyal things they are, my dad switched teams and went for Brazil, who ultimately won Germany in the finale. And being childish, he tricked me of a dollar. (Bad father who teaches his daughter gambling) That may be why I am so interested in football, though my family doesn't go crazy about it anymore (what am I talking about, my mother and sister never cared for football anyways) but we still have light conversations about it (imagine asking where the World Cup was held right smack in the middle of the Quarter Finals!!! And saying ... "Oh, yeah, I think it's being held in.... GERMANY!!!! *bang head against wall) (By the way, the World Cup is being held in South Africa, to those who have been living in caves and eating raw meat) which brings us to the whole point of this post. (I know what you are thinking, 'WHAT, YOU HAVE TYPED OUT SO MUCH AND IT WAS ONLY CRAP????!!!) (I can't help it. It's a contagious disease I caught from a particular friend whose name starts with a capital 'T)
Here is the first point (If I don't do it with numbers I will write more crap)

1. Thomas Muller has my vote for the Best Young Player of World Cup 2010. He has shown that he has what it takes to shine, and he's only twenty *Swoon... I feel like one of those Twilight fans, only Thomas Muller is way better than Robert Pattinson. He's like a robot with white paint and a crooked nose. Them idiots who swoon over him are blind as bats* (I am team Jacob, by the way, but only because no one likes him and I like Taylor Lautner's six packs :D) - crapping again - . Makes me fell proud, even though I am not German. I do have German relatives though, so I have an excuse to support Germany so wholeheartedly. 
2. The Netherlands will kill the Spanish and take the World Cup trophy home. I really want them to win, even if it's only because I spitefully despise the fact that Spain killed Germany's run in the World Cup. I salute David Villa, though. And Fernando Torres, in your face. You are quite useless, next to David Villa. He looks good and plays better than you. (But I prefer Thomas Muller)
3. Congratulations to Germany for taking third place, beating Uruguay 3-2. 
4. Darn, when the World Cup's done I have to go back to thinking seriously about PMR. Sometimes, I think that I may like football because it serves as a distraction from daily life. 
5. Gambateh, Jia You, Jangan Putus Asa, PMR students GO!
6. Gee, I am so serious about football that I really think I can quit Facebook until PMR is gone because Germany lost...  T.T I hope I don't become one of those people who commit suicide because their team lost. 

Thomas Muller. He's my idol <3

Anyway, Goodbye for now and Take Care. Signing of with No Regrets for Quiting Facebook, CLQ Jasmine.

They aimed for the Moon...

... and they landed among the stars. I want to congratulate Germany for making it to the semi-finals in the World Cup this year. Germany were not one of the favorites since they were a very young team. Michael Ballack, teh team captain was out with an ankle injury, so Peter Lahm had to step in. Most of the team had no World Cup team whatsoever save for Bastian Schweinsteiger, Peter Lahm, Lucas Podolski and Miroslav Klose. But they totally exceeded expectations, especially Thomas Muller, who, at only the age of twenty scored four goals for his nation. A slap across the face for those who were supporting the big teams like Argentina, England, Italy, France and Brazil. I still feel sweet revenge when I think of that. Perhaps it was because Thomas wasn't playing against Spain that they lost. The magic just wasn't there. But I won't say that Spain are a rotten team. Germany are too good to be beaten by a rotten team. It is an honor to play against the world's best football team, and even if we lost, we didn't loose badly. Germany have gained experience and maturity during this World Cup. And also kudos to Joachim Loew, the Germany coach who lead Germany so far. Next World Cup, Germany will be a force to reckon with. Euro 2010 will show the world how Germany football has improved. Germany no longer only defend. They attack like pro's, though not yet with Spain's level of style and skill, they are near and will surpass given time! Therefore I conclude that World Cup 2010 has been a fruitful campaign for the Germans, and come what may, GERMANY STILL ROCK!!!!!

P.S: In honor of Germany's semi finale finish, I have quit Facebook and shall not return until after PMR.

No Regrets,
CLQ Jasmine.

The following is an album of pictures that depict emotions with no words.

Bingo

Today I skipped CF and went to Zhi Xin's house with Shepard to study Sejarah. Half way through we decided to play another game. It was like Mastermind, only it was called Bingo and was played on the computer. We spent the better part of our day there trying to figure out four numbers. I wonder what is so interesting about it, guessing what the numbers were. Tomorrow is report card day and either one of my parents is going. I really wander what reaction I am going to get for my marks. I myself admit I haven't done my best, or even very well  for the first term, and if I don't buck up, I'll never get my straight A's. I must say that at the rate I am going I am not going to be anywhere close. There is reason to rejoice this foot ball season, and I really hope Germany wins against Argentina. The odds are equal for both teams, I think. Despite Diego Maradona's less then cool tactics and drama filled pitch side acts, I really respect his team. Especially when Lionel Messi is there. But Germany have a record to be beaten. Three world cups and not a single world cup not in the last eight since 19something, I really feel that Germany has what it takes to beat Argentina. While trashing them may be like building castles in the air, winning them is definitely a possibility.

Wavin' Flag

When I get older, I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom, just like a Waving Flag
When I get older, I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom, just like a Waving Flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes back
And then it goes back
Born to a throne, stronger than Rome
But Violent prone, poor people zone
But it’s my home, all I have known
Where I got grown, streets we would roam
But out of the darkness, I came the farthest
Among the hardest survival
Learn from these streets, it can be bleak
Except no defeat, surrender retreat
So we struggling, fighting to eat and
We wondering when we’ll be free
So we patiently wait, for that fateful day
It’s not far away, so for now we say
When I get older, I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom, just like a Waving Flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes back
And then it goes back
So many wars, settling scores
Bringing us promises, leaving us poor
I heard them say, love is the way
Love is the answer, that’s what they say,
But look how they treat us, make us believers
We fight their battles, then they deceive us
Try to control us, they couldn’t hold us
Cause we just move forward like Buffalo Soldiers
But we struggling, fighting to eat
And we wondering, when we’ll be free
So we patiently wait, for that faithful day
It’s not far away, but for now we say
When I get older, I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom, just like a Waving Flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes back
And then it goes back
When I get older, I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom, just like a Waving Flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes back
And then it goes back
(Ohhhh Ohhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhh)
And everybody will be singing it
(Ohhhh Ohhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhh)
And you and I will be singing it
(Ohhhh Ohhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhh)
And we all will be singing it
(Ohhh Ohh Ohh Ohh)
When I get older, I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom, just like a Waving Flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes back
And then it goes back
When I get older, I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom, just like a Waving Flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes back
And then it goes back
When I get older, when I get older
I will be stronger, just like a Waving Flag
Just like a Waving Flag, just like a Waving flag
Flag, flag, Just like a Waving Flag.

World Cup 2010

I am no nutty fan of football, let me assure you. I don't get heart attacks over a lose by my favorite team. But to be sure, I am very interested in the matches that my favorite football team plays (though sadly, I hardly get to watch any of them T^T). So now the World Cup has come, a crazy sporting event that causes madness throughout the world... And I too, have been somewhat caught up in that madness. I, Jasmine Chow, declare my utmost loyalty to the team that I have been supporting since the age of 7...

GERMANY!!!!!

I wholeheartedly support you to win the World Cup once more, your opponents are like trash beneath your gold plated and diamond studded feet. They are no match for you, I declare! You shall sweep them away with a well aimed strike of your Golden Foot and clinch World Cup glory as has never before been seen in the world. You have started of to a fabulous start, putting the Australians 6 feet below the ground in your opening match, and now that you have begun, NO ONE can stop YOU!!!! 

(Panting) Ok, maybe I am a little nutty, but that's about it. Lastly, I would like to say:

GERMANY FOR THE WORLD CUP!!!!!

A Run Down of the First Half of the Year.

The first half of the year has come and gone. It feels like it was only just yesterday that I was looking at the calender and going "Cheah, PMR so far away, later then study lah." T^T I regret saying that. Now, time is precious, there is a limited supply of it. I am starting to feel all worked up on how I've wasted all that time. I really must practice some self control and discipline (LOTS of it) and start trying to make time. It is possible, though it makes you real sleepy. This holidays is the last chance I have to study properly for my exams and I really have to be serious if I want to get straight A's. It is unfortunate that we have to study language. Sometimes I wander why God had to make things so difficult for us. Why didn't he give us a single universal language? Life would be so much easier than.

It hasn't been such good first half of the year, i will list these down in no order, just with numbers so it's easier to jot them down.

1. Manchester United LOST to the EPL to Chelsea by ONE point. (CAN YOU BEAT THOSE BLUE CLOWNS????)
2. For the first time ever, I got a B for Sejarah... It felt like i had failed...
3. Megan Fox OUT of Transformers... NOOOOOOOO.....
4. It just wasn't so peaceful in the house this year.
5. I MISSED SO MANY GREAT MOVIES!!!!!! But I've forgotten some of them already... I wanted to watch Ironman 2, Shrek Forever, Prince of Persia, so many I've forgotten them...
6. I wish I didn't suddenly have feel stressed out of the blue for no reason other than exams.
7. I really wish we didn't have so many problems.

But there are things to be happy about too.

1. I got such GREAT friends... I can't list them out 'cause I might forget to list one of them and it might cause a misunderstanding. You can't blame me. I don't have much memory left in my tiny brain, it's full of PMR facts and i have to leave some space for even more facts. Perhaps it's time to purchase another 10 GB pendrive?
2. I get to watch KYO KARA MAOH!!! GREAT comedy, GREAT story and GREAT guys =)
3. Konrad's looks + [(Gwyndel's + Wolfram's) AWESOME personalities] = MY PERFECT GUY =D
4. Thank goodness debate is over and out... 

For the year before us, there are things to hope for =)

1. WORLD CUP!!!! GERMANY GOGOGOGOGOGO GOOOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLL!!!!!!
2. After PMR ...T^T but first, PMR....
3. My FRIENDS
4. KYO KARA MAOH!!!!!
5. A happier time? Less problems?
6. Studying... BE ENTHUSIASTIC, MAN!!!!
7. I'm a MAN =D
8. ? If I could predict everything, Life would be BORING.

Anyway, that's all for now. Wish me Good Luck. Wish YOU Good Luck, Wish Us all Good Luck, Don't we all need it? God Bless You All, have a BRILLIANT, FASCINATING, MARVELOUS second half of 2010.

I am Completely in Control

MU, you rocked this season. It isn't our fault we lost. Liverpool. sucked. Chelsea was juz lucky. If it weren't for Wigan, WE would have WON. So keep your gaping blue mouths out of my ears and your blue a$$s out of my sight. THANK YOU.

Is The Special One to Replace Alex Ferguson?

I have just heard a report that Jose Mourinho is going to replace Alex Ferguson as the manager of Manchester United!!!! Oh, I do anticipate the possibility! It's so COOL!!! Jose Mourinho, manager of Manchester United leads team to unbelievable unbeaten run. No club has ever achieved a straight win throughout the season ever!! The best team in the WORLD!! Of course, Alex Ferguson is a GREAT manager, and MU have him to thank for where they are now. But Jose Mourinho, now his SPECIAL... he could train Chelsea to be the team they are now... think what a TERRIFIC team he would make of MU!!! AWESOME!!!

AWESOME!!!!
