Looking at my old blog in Friendster, I found an entry which stated how I hate soccer and how I wondered when I would love it.
Roughly English translation (my style of writing back then was really unorganized, so I edited it roughly to ease understanding what I was trying to say):
“I was watching Federer vs Ferrero in the 2nd set. Then, because I was so lazy watching Federer, I turned on my desktop. Around 7 or 8. I thought the match between Nadal and Berdych have been broadcast live. When I switched to StarSports, I found that instead of tennis, it was soccer which was broadcast. Wew, even until now it is still being broadcast LIVE. It’s really annoying since I couldn’t watch MonteCarlo semifinal. My dad said that it could be until half past two. Akh, damn soccer… Soccer is really annoying to watch, the ball was kicked here and there. Goals are rarely made. Haha…
To soccer fans: sorry. I wonder when I would love soccer?? I wonder when..”
I think the past me had never thought the possibility I would love soccer one day. But now I can answer the question: “Hey, I love soccer now! Not as much as I love tennis still, but I have started to enjoy it.” Before, I was whining how the goals are rarely made in soccer. But now, I really love that aspect from soccer. The rarity of a goal made each goal really precious.
Credits goes to Spain and World Cup 2010 for making me love soccer ?
Too bad they have failed to go through in the Rogers Cup as double partners. Hope they succeed in men’s singles though.
Reading my friend’s Facebook status made me really shock: “OneManga will be shut down”. Why? Seems the manga publishers felt the presence of manga scanlation sites affect their sales. I am really sad hearing this news and it will not only be OneManga but other big manga scanlation sites such as MangaFox. read more…
Omg! I’m so happy that Spain came out as the winner just now beating the Netherlands 1-0 in the extra time.

World Cup 2010 was my first official soccer tournament that I’ve watched and from the start I’ve been (and will always) rooting for Spain. After tasting surprising defeat against Switzerland in the round robin stage, finally Spain won its first World Cup for the first time. read more…
Rafael Nadal looked really emotional holding the World Cup trophy compare to when he won his second Wimbledon title. Spain managed to score a late goal in the extra time (4 minutes to end) to grab their first World Cup trophy.
As Germany defeated England 4-1 in the round 16 of World Cup 2010, Indonesia proved itself again as the ruler of Twitter’s trending topics!
Germany sacked the first two goals thanks to Miroslav Klose and Lukas Poldoski. The Englishmen tried to tie the score and Matthew Upson successfully contributed 1 goal. The score was 2-1 for German. Then, Lampard tried to create another goal. The ball hit the upper part of the goal frame, bounced definitely inside the goal line (can be seen through the video replay), but was not counted by the referee and his assistants.
