Back to normal....

World cup is finally over and it’s hard to adjust back to the normal routine. I became so accustomed to turning on the TV at night, hoping to catch a match or two of wonderful football. And unintentionally, I would always read the sports section in the newspaper first whenever I got hold of a paper (which I never even bother to look at last time).

Anyway, Italy’s victory didn’t last long. Juventus, Lazio and Fiorentina all had been relegated to second division while Ac Milan had to start from below Serie A. It’s sad to see fantastic Italian players like Cannavaro and Nesta had to be bought at bargain prices, though some might enjoy a better pay than others. But it’s a good thing that these players are finally playing outside of Italy, which means there might be more variety of styles of football (instead of defensive one) in the Azzurri Squad.

Yesterday was one the most tiring day in my life. I went to school at 730 and stayed there until 4.00 for my school’s canteen day. I was running around the school the whole time and it was such a hot hot day! But it was fun, nonetheless, we played water balloons and I got hit the most by the guys. Perhaps I’m an easy target (because I’m short?), but I had fun throwing balloons at the guys as well, hehe, payback time!

Then at 7pm I went for Bon Odori until night. It was so hot and crowded. The amount of people there was immense that the phone connectivity was so low. We couldn’t make any calls at all and consequently, many got lost. I wish I had been there earlier to join the dance performances. Anyway, it didn’t turn out to be as fun as I thought it would be and I was rueful that I actually drag my friend along…

So, out goes the world cup and in comes the school!
