It's 3am on friday 20th June (singapore time). The alarm clock rang, but I was too lazy to get up. I would just catch the second half, I thought. I slept, and made a dream about betting... weird dream, but it made me remember about the quarter-final match between germany and portugal.

I was rather irritated when I learnt that I would have to watch the euro 2008 online as only cable tv broadcasted the match :(

cable tv... i missed US at this time... it would be afternoon so I would not have to cut my sleep short and I wouldn't have to settle for online tv...

anyway, the match was entertaining with 5 goals. 3 of them were through headers!!!

My bet was on Portugal... Thankfully, I kept my money where it belonged and did not bet.
Germany3-2 Portugal FT

Germany was right on target!

Off the field...
I just read from a blog that a teacher from zhss, mr kelvin tan passed away... I'm not sure how old he was, but he was YOUNG! And from the days in zhss, he came across as someone who's healthy and fit (likes working-out type of guy). As it turned out, he had a liver infection and delayed his treatment so as to be there for his students for Mid-year.

I was shocked by his sudden death, but deeply moved by his commitment as a teacher.

I guess it's just another reminder of how fragile life can be.
