I know, I love football (Saya declared yang saya sedar semasa beri statement nie..) Some people found it a bit eerrrrrr, you know, girls love football thing's thing.. Yaaa, if you know what I mean. I played football during my primary school. With the boys, of course. Surprise?? Owh, well. Please hide that "Really?" surprised face. It's common here, in Sarawak. Besides, there were many boys than girls at our barrack during that time.
By the way, I spent my entire childhood at a police barrack here in Bukit Pego, Tebedu, Sarawak. Wonder where is that place. Google it. Wishing you a good luck if you can find it on Google. Primary school taught me a lot of things on sports. I played football, I fought with the boys because of football, I played volleyball, badminton, and the last one was netball. Ya ya ya.. Amazing but I quit sports after I entered secondary school. Spent more time on academic and uniform unit. As we live not far from the Malaysian-Indonesian boarder and football was the most played game at that time, so ya, I just love it. And I started to know Argentina in 1994. Of course I don't remember anything on the team as I was only 8 years old on that year. I was attracted to the flag. Beautiful and amazing for an 8 years old girl. I remember people asking me why do you like Argentina, I just told them, "I like the flag. It's blue. Beautiful."
My mom bought me books and trained me to read. I read maps, encyclopedia and everythings. from fairy tales books to all those science books to history.. Saya penghuni setia school library and also Tebedu public library. Thank God for that. And ya, I admit, I had problem speaking Malay at that time, and I didn't even know how to speak in Iban or Bidayuh. And people mocking me for speaking English at that time. Those were the times... Family thing, you know. English matters. But I lost the skills now in English. Feels comfortable speaking in Malay, Malay Sarawak, and Iban and Bidayuh. I wasn't born to retain that language on my tongue. So during that 1994 I was just supporting Argentina because of their flag. I didn't know the rules and whatever things related to football.
In 1998, then it became serious. Offside, fouls, red cards, yellow cards, dribbles.. I started to learn all these terms. Quite interesting. Since then, my support for Argentina never fades. I don't mind whenever they didn't get to the final. Waiting waiting waiting... (Boleh buat isteri nieee... Setia hujung nyawa. LoL) Until secondary school, I still remember my friend supported Germany and me still Argentina. Loafing at the cafe with my cousin and her friends just to watch football. Asal Argentina main, conform saya lepak kat kedai dengan my cousin. Best sik??? I lepak just because of sports. Oh, family?.. They couldn't do anything about that. I was banned from watching football when I was 11 years old, and the banned just lasted for a week, they allowed me to watch after that. Muahahahaha! Why the family banned me?? Owh-ohhh, I cursed a lot because of football. Swear words. I don't remember how I learn those bad words. *sigh* And today, this morning, I couldn't believe myself watching Argentina playing in the final. Classic, haaaa... Waited for long long time and then you got the chance to watch it.. Hati saya berbunga bunga.. Keadaannya seperti negara Korea dan Jepun mengalami musim bunga.
And this year too, I never missed not even one of their games. Ada delayed, tengok delayed. Ada live, berjaga jadi burung hantu. I just don't mind. I know, I don't want to miss anything ( Should have go for a karaoke this weekend and sing that Aerosmith song). And today, Argentina lost to Germany in extra time 1-0. Frozen. And somehow you can just hear someone humming the song "Let it go" from the movie Frozen. Kecewa? Hurt? Yes, of course. Gilalah if you say you don't feel anything. How to heal the pain? Just let it be. Just say this, "It's good enough to be in the final after 24 years. At least we didn't screw in this World Cup 2014." Tapi, urrrgghhhhhhh!!!! For now, football is a sensitive issue. So, let's not talk about it. I'm going to miss Sabella and his team. For whatever reasons, my support will never fade away. Argentina always in my heart and it never change. So, first runner up pun boleh tahan juga kannnn.. Admit it. You feel very proud of it. Vamos Argentina! (So now, can you take me for a holiday to Argentina? Buy me two ways tickets, provide accommodations for me to stay, and let me go alone. Backpacker! Hahahaha!! (^_^)
And thank you to fans. Met few people who support the same team on Twitter. Vamos Argentina! To Mr.Sivan who keeps on giving updates on the team. Looking forward for World Cup 2018. (^_^)
Last Saturday, our college organized inter-games competition. They put me under Sudoku for the staff team. I hate Sudoku. I know I did Mathematics for my majoring (degree) but that doesn't make me soooooo into that game. And at the very last minute they put me on chess. Yeeaayyyy!!! I don't play chess except for online chess. And I learned it all by myself without anyone teach me on how to play the game. Computer helped me. I started to play when I was 18 years old. That means, 10 years ago. Aigoooo. I'll be 28 years old this coming October. Heeehhhuuuuuuuu
And I don't play chess since 6 years ago, and I managed to secure silver medal for that. Hahahaha!! Just like Argentina, isn't it? What a coincidence... The day before the World Cup final... Apa-apapun, here are some photos to share with you. Off for now. This is the longest entry I have ever done in my life. You don't have to read if you don't feel like to read. Besides, this is just a medium for me to do whatever I want to do. Gila laahhhhh! (@_@)
This was what given to me this morning
Thank you for the photo. Macam hebat jak.. Macam terer jak.. Last last disastrous.. Heeehuuuuuu
And last.. Taaddaaaaa! Congratulation for bringing Argentina to the final. Vamos Argentina! This photo was taken from Twitter: Vamos Argentina. Perfect picture for memory.
