Friend from Down Under

We had a friend from Australia visited us yesterday. We brought them to the local touristy places such as Borough Market, Tower of London and the old Brick Lane.


We complained why SY never smiles, he claimed that he is very tired from the flight. Oh well, this time he doesn't bull**** us. He said he is nearly drunk from 2 half pints of English Ale.

Australia in 2-0 up in the Ashes series! This is such exciting news to wake up to!

Nine wickets gone for only 70 runs. Rumours have it that some morning newspaper in London actually said it was a draw. I guess they were sent to the print too early! :)

Good on Collie for staying until the end, while his partners were constantly 'on-the-go'.

It would have been exciting watching Warne bowling on Day 5 of any Test match, but 4-49! Gotta watch the highlights on BBC Two tonight!

Warne sovenirs a stump
Warney sovenirs a stump!

Fourth ball of the day and Pietersen is out! (Pietersen c Martyn b Lee 92)

The tail is opened up. Let's hope Gabba won't be bothered with rain today.

England 347/8

Jones' out. Giles' out.

Com'on. Finish them up! I wanna go to bed!

Socceroos are out of the World Cup! :(

I was listening to the game on the car radio. And my heart sank when I heard the penalty being awarded just seconds before the match was due to end.

It was not a good way to exit the game. Anyway, I think Australia has done well to get this far.

CRO 2-2 AUS

Australia is through to the knock-out phase! Next match is against Italy.

I just realise that there is this new song for the Socceroo. Does anyone have the link to it?

AUS 0-2 BRA

Australia did try hard. But Brazil is difficult to beat.

At least they did better than 'my' team (Serbia & Montenegro) against Argentina!
