My mentor whom I have affectionately called Sifu has been admitted to have his posterior remodeled this morning. I am not sure what the hell is posterior remodeling but I do know that you have to get well soon and guide us through our journey.
We will keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers, sifu. Get well soon and take great care. Rest well and May God place His healing hands upon you.
May you be blessed. Sifu, my heartfelt wish for you.
I must confess to never having been much of a football fan. I’d much rather not get caught up in the heart attack-inducing excitement, prefering to read self-development books or listen to audios instead. Still it is hard to deny that there’s a definite zing in the air now that the world is hot in the grip of ongoing FIFA World Cup fever. My favorite team? definitely England, the team full of well-groomed leng chais.
As we all well known, more than just football goes on at the World Cup finals. There is no secret that football and fashion rely on each other these days and it’s tempting to blame the link between fashion and football to England leng chai David Beckham (ohhhh… I am soooo.. jeolous of you, Victoria) who for one popularized diamond studs on his ears, not boots, Brylcremed hair and Russell & Bromley shoes.
His popularity confirm one thing, he could sell anything just by wearing it. If Hollywood’s elite can sell dresses by wearing them, then football finalists can certainly sell suits. Just as the world’s best designers want to see their creative efforts glide down the red carpet, they also want to see their suits worn by the qualifying teams at any major tournament, what more the World Cup.
And you’d think the best footballers in the world would stay in line for a few weeks when given the chance to pay in the World Cup. Over the years, certain players have thrown away the opportunity with ill-advised moments of stupidity and disobedience. The most controversial superstar in the history of the game, Maradona, fell foul of doping test and he was packed off home immediately, one match short of a record 22nd appearance in a final.
Then I find it amusing that everyone is also talking about football betting. Hey.. it’s ILLEGAL in Malaysia to gamble or bet even if you are to bet through a foreign Internet site unless of course you are Lim Goh Tong or Ananda. Err.. I am not so sure about office betting or betting between friends though. Having said that, I have so far never heard of the royal police busting office bets or betting between friends. Proabably, I guess they are concentrating on hunting down "hard-core" criminals like the elderly Chinese men playing mahjong in a coffee shop.
Another funny thing when it comes to football betting in Malaysia is people always talk about giving and eating balls as a form of handicap.. Hmmm…half a ball, anyone?
